What is the Expected Salary for 12 yoe Java aws developer?

Hello everyone,

I wanted to know how long does Course5i take to release an offer, I cleared all rounds last friday and was going to get an offer from HR early this week (by Monday evening or Tuesday) but didn’t get any offer till now.

I loved the role and I am still excited to join the organisation so mailed a follow up to the HR yesterday but did not get any response till now. I do not want to follow up for the next 1-2 days since I feel it would be too pushy from my end.

What’s a fair expectation for my first raise? Publicly traded co with ~2500 employees. I’ve been doing litigation with the company for almost 3 yrs and have only had a 2% cost of living raise so far. Graduated in 2014. Base comp is $127.5k in the Philly area. I see salaries all over the place in this site and it’s hard to tell whether mine is competitive.

How does underwriting compare to PIP litigation in terms of flex time (ability to stop/start work throughout day, work at 2 am if needed, etc)

For example.. in PIP Litigation I can review my suits at 2 am if needed (as a result of having a rough day or other emergency) and still be in compliance

Does Underwriting carry any time sensitive tasks?

Please help chose between PwC India and Deloitte USI. Both almost offering similar CTC but PwC location is Kolkata whereas Deloitte location is Bangalore.

Currently an Assoc at McK. Recruiters are reaching out with roles and specifying that senior execs are ex-MBB and ONLY hire MBBs. Does this raise a red flag to anyone else?

Do you always need an MBA to get into MBB?

My lease is up in the coming months on my current vehicle. Wanting to upgrade to a Tesla Model 3. Will be able to put down around $10,000 down payment(don’t have enough saved to pay for it all in cash, and need a vehicle). Don’t really want to lease and thinking I want to buy new, but would be interested in hearing about people’s thoughts on buying used? Or other thoughts around the needing a vehicle but not having enough to buy it all in cash?

I have 3 years of Experience working as a fullstack developer using .NET Core, Angular, React, and Postgres.

I have also done certifications in Machine learning using Python and Tensorflow, but I am unable to land an interview with Microsoft, even if my profile matches the job description.

Any nudge in the right direction would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I feel like being gay just adds another layer of difficulty while trying to date in consulting.

Moving across the country to LA. Any pro tips in the relocation process to make the experience less of a hassle? Just me and my dog making the move.

Hi friends, I am reading this book ‘radical cander’ and was wondering if you have Fav way/ example of receiving and giving tough feedback? Or have any stories about feedback that have stuck with you through your career.

When RFPing for a piece of business. A Client wants to have a preliminary chat to ask questions to see if the agency is suitable. What kind of things could they ask?

Why do recruiters never tell you which agency they want to talk to you about until they get you on the phone? I don’t want to waste anyone’s time and it would be helpful to know this info from the initial outreach. My experience with this only applies to healthcare, but would imagine it’s the same in consumer as well. Anyone?

Do pharma agencies intentionally over-promote / inflate titles so you’re stuck and not really qualified to leave?

Can anyone share any examples of outstanding direct to consumer healthcare ads?

I fell madly in love with an old classmate and we're planning to move to North Carolina. What agencies have offices here? Praying for help finding a digital agency!

One thing they don't prepare you for when you're getting into advertising is the extent to which being a cheerleader propels you. I'm not a misanthrope, but I'm definitely not naturally wired for cheerleading and it for sure has had an adverse impact on my career.

Has anybody been able to get out of pharma and into consumer later in their career? How did you do it?

Book recommendations for copywriting/advertising? Thank you! 🙏

Brands that have used Pinterest in exciting or noteworthy ways - do they exist? Anyone have one off the cuff?

Mullen Lowe NY or Havas NY? Which one is better? Dan seems to be turning Havas around but it’s a little too soon to tell. What are your thoughts?

Had a run of bad client experiences. Walking away after multiple pitch rounds, passing our ideas to other agencies, unreasonable budgets, etc. What are the brands that actually respect their agencies?

How do you sever ties with your first post-college job? I’m five years in and no longer learning or growing, but having a hard time letting go.

How do you handle people’s kids showing up on video meetings? Screaming, kicking, hamming it up, (wasting time.) Everyone else is coo-ing…I’m not a kids person. Heard a technique which is to drop off the call bc you “assume the call is over” (which seems like a great way to get fired especially if it’s a way higher up’s kids - plus it feels rather passive aggressive.) Thoughts?

Burnetters are always last to know about Burnett news. 😑

The CW that I’d work the longest with (for about 3 years) had just being promoted to ECD on a big cool shop after very good run. Meanwhile I was just promoted to ACD at an OK medium shop after a very torturous run that almost made me quit ad life for good.

Sometimes I wonder what the hell did I do wrong.
I didn’t even think he was that good back then 😂.

He is a nice guy tho and I’m happy for him and for whoever will be working for him.

When you email a recruiter, what do you put in the email (besides your portfolio link)?
