I'm looking to pivot from consulting into tech. I've gotten lots of interesting from tech companies on the ops side but am much more interested in product management.

Any advice on books or courses to help make the transition? I'm struggling to land PM interviews at companies that aren't tiny startups :(

Any tech recruiters here ? I'm looking to join the field. What can a tech recruiter expect to earn in a corporate/in house role ?

One of the hardest things to do in business and in sales is to have someone love what you do so much that they'll put their name on the line and refer you business.

That's a relationship you have to nurture.

And I bet that most of you have more than a handful of happy customers who would refer you business. The easiest way to get more leads and pipeline is to ask for referrals.

DAE see and feel a blinding red rage at the end of a work day, or is that just me?

What was the biggest misconception you had about practicing law? I can think of two for me personally. 1. Working diligently, being dependable and putting in long hours would allow you to maintain a relatively normal use of vacation time (i.e. not needing to elaborately state why you want to take certain time off) as would be the case in a lot of ordinary workplaces. 2. There’d be some sort of feedback when a project or assignment was done correctly, rather than feedback on only deficient work.

Attitude and mindset is 90% of this job. Remember that.

So someone I know asked HR about a boot policy. When he found out that there wasn’t one, but his boss said there was (who gave the guys $ for boots and the claimed it on his expense reimbursements as something else) the boss got mad at him for askingHR (and in trouble for the expense reimbursements) and then 2 days later laid off my friend. There appears to be no notice of bad performance and this person always was the first person on the job site ready to work. Thoughts?

Over the last 12 months my role changed significantlu so in Jan I approached the CEO about a raise and promotion more in line with my work and he said yes - but not until until the end of Q1 when budgets are finalized. Covid hit and I was told all promotions and raises were put on hold. I never got a Q2 review bc my manager said the raise was up in the air still. But on Friday the CEO sent an email listing 17 promotions, not including me. Im meeting w my manager tomorrow but idk what to say.

What’s a good age to show a kid Rocky? I feel like my 4 year old (turning 5 next week) would love Rocky III and Rocky IV, but I think the dialogue in I & II would just go over the head. I think it’s important to view these movies in the original order and I just can’t wait to share the saga of Rocky Balboa with my kid!
