On the 3rd date I invited him to go away for the weekend because 1. I had to go away anyways for a quick work event & 2. Earlier on the date, he (continued)

Hey folks, I work in marketing and program management and, along with everyone else, the recession is hitting me hard financially. When I try to find companies that pay well, they’re all in tech… but all those companies are laying off, freezing and rescinding offers (had one rescinded myself) 😕 so my question to all of you - what industries/sectors are still in demand for marketers/program managers right now that actually pay well?

Hi everyone,
I want to have a career advice. I have recently started a full time job in gaming industry for 2 months as a jr manager. Previously i never worked in this industry nor in this position were i am working now. I am trying my best to do the tasks but its really hard. I am not liking it at all. I don’t have much resources to learn it online also. I am struggling and having a bad day almost everyday. What to do? Losing the energy to look for other job after work. Its only 2 months…

Questions about job hopping-
My average tenure at a company is ~1.5 years (with ~11 YOE), but each jump I've made has yielded progressive/tangible career growth.

I'm concerned after my most recent jump (went from a product director to a head of product position at a different, smaller company after only a year) that I've kind of poisoned future career prospects at larger companies.

Any insights on whether this type of job hopping is a complete deal breaker for potential HMs?

Or is it even a career coach I need to help me get on track?

Is this new job DOA? I’ve been in my new role 6 weeks after interviewing extensively and getting 5 offers and thinking back on those offers I turned down.

I may lose a job opportunity because of my credit history - what can I do?

Started in *May* - Prior to signing everything, I expressed concern to the recruiter about the credit check. Honestly, it’s not great but it’s not terrible.

Now HR is telling me they may rescind the offer pending review. I’m crushed. What can I do?
