8 year US Navy F/A-18E pilot really wanting to start a business in the Hampton Roads, VA area but outside of flying tactical aviation I’m not sure how to translate those skills into something profitable. Looking for a new industry or idea to move forward. I have a business degree from a decade ago, and they never really teach you how to go about coming up with an idea that fits a market need, raising capital, or best steps to take in the beginning. Any advice would be appreciated! V/r, “PIB”

Hi Fishes,

I am currently undergoing a recruitment exercise for the role of Senior Principal, Research with the Peers & Practitioners team at Gartner India Research & Advisory Services. My current work exp is 5 years across 2 big 4s and a KPO in India. How much hike should I quote if I clear the interviews here? Presently my CTC is around early INR1000Kp.a. Also are they giving options of a permanent WFH post covid? If not can I work from some other office such as HYD, BLR instead of NCR?

I recently moved to US from Georgia, I have team of developers and project manager in Georgia who are able to work remotely. Big advantage of this type of team is salary per hour because its quite low in Georgia rather than US.

I am reaaaally struggling to get a sense of belonging here. What should I expect?? Tia
