I am new recruiter with about 2 yrs experience within people practice ( learning & development - Employability support - and now recruiting)

I am keen to transition to FAANG/UK but not sure if I should continue in people’s business! Or should I try RPM/APM opportunities as I am currently leading full cycle work with cross functional teams I feel that might be nice thing to take a look at.

Is there other promising career paths I can transition to within tech?

Just received an offer with expected / standard salary for role but no signing or relocation bonus. They know I don’t have any other offers which is why I assume they didn’t offer any signing bonus - do I have any chance of getting one without “leverage”?

What aspects of international development are you most interested in and what plans do you have to make the switch (for those that aren't working in this space yet)?

Hi I’m in the interview process at PayPal and negotiating salary. The position is a Manager L 25 in Reg Reporting and I’m trying to figure out a range for Florida but can’t find much at all. Any guidance would be very appreciated

My husband has 3+ years of experience specializing in PL/SQL Development. Anyone have a lead for remote PL/SQL jobs? He's mostly looking on LinkedIn and working with recruiters, but is there better places to look? ZipRecruiter?

Hey Bowl,
I work for a late stage(ipo) start up, earlier this year we were acquired & since then they got rid of our yearly bonuses and gave us an ESOP grant.
2 RIFs later we are almost bare bones. Since we are coming up on our usual yearly evaluations many of us assumed (with multiple conversation from our managers) that pay raises and promotions were due.
In a recent All hands we found out that this year there will be no pay raises nor promotions based off merit. Is it time to jump ship?

Anyone join Guidehouse recently? How was the experience and did you get a great offer given the transition? Any issues?

If this drags on until November how the heck are we gonna do an election? At least the campaigning seems to have been put on the backburner

Hi, Fishes! What areas of law would you say are likely to land you a position in BL from a small firm?

Good day :) I hope everyone is doing well. I am requesting assistance from anyone in regards to a question that a Recruiter posed to me in a series of questions. This process is not that same that I am use to while working as a Recruiter Coordinator. Nevertheless I really want this job and I know that I can and will excel in the role. Yet can someone assist me one on one with one of the pre interview questions, to help me better understand? I greatly appreciate your feedback, time and support.

My sister is turning 30 in rehab this week, and I want to send her a birthday gift that she'll appreciate, but also that might be helpful to her as she transitions into a new sober life.

Any recommendations?

Downloaded the “Days” app. No frills, no extras. Just a number staring you in the face. I’ve made it almost habitual to open and check... even multiple times a day when I know the day counter hasn’t changed, but it’s helping and encouraging. Each day is a sense of accomplishment and a win over the pull of my own thoughts. Forcing my willpower into further restraint. 10 days strong so far.

I'm not hung up on PE/buy side exits, not closed off but nbd. Would be just as happy to stay and make MD (or exit into corp dev if I want an easier life when I'm older)

My dilemma:

I'm at a LMM investment bank. Can get crazy sometimes, but otherwise chill. Typically done around 7-9 pm, had maybe three 1 am nights. Haven't worked a weekend in over a month. Fridays almost always done at 5 pm.

Have an offer at a reputable MM bank but probably pretty sweaty. Worth the move?

Hi, I'm on my NP and I have 15 ALs to encash. How much will i get on 1 AL while encashing? How is this calculated?

Any other postdocs dealing with the crippling anxiety of disappointing all your mentors/supporters in science by leaving academia? I know it’s my life but….

Rumours of mass defection if the split goes ahead. Who in this bowl is planning to leave? And if you're thinking of staying, what is your rationale?

Any mid-level copywriters looking for work? We had another writer leave and are looking to fill the position. It's a small shop with incredible creative leadership and fun food accounts. Trust me, you’ll get a lot of opportunities and have a blast. PM a link to your book and I'll tell you more.

Does anyone else balk a little bit when applying for jobs and the recruiter or job description mentions a lot of blog writing and other content like that?

I'm new-ish to copywriting after working as news reporter and TV host for years. I'd like to start putting together a portfolio of my writing, but I'm not sure what a marketing copywriting "book" should look like. I have emails, blog articles, promotions etc. Any good examples or resources you could share?

I’m good at conceptualising — but how can I become a better writer?
I saw some copywriting courses on ‘42 courses’. Does anyone have any experience with their courses? Or have any other recommendations?

What are the best agencies for first year copywriters?

Has anyone put work in their book that the client denied? I wrote some pretty great lines for a client and it’s like they hate creativity. I really want to put them in my book, is that a bad idea?

I once had a creative director tell me to add a blog of my own to my portfolio to make it more personal. Thoughts? If you’ve done this, how did you approach it?

So, you’ve reached the stage of your career where you care more about cashing a fat paycheck than making “creative ads”. You’d rather have the resources and free time to fulfill your creative itch outside of work than try to sell the next big idea to an 28 year old marketing manager with an annual budget of 150k. How do you make the absolute most money as a copywriter while still working a 9-5? Asking for... a... friend?

Hi guys, may i ask how do you guys prepare a creative deck for proposal to a client?
I’m so curious about how other agencies in other countries prepare their deck..
Well, i’m from Indonesia and somehow i believe there’s quite a difference.
Thanks!

Any good job boards besides LinkedIn for creative staffing? I’m on working not working but that doesn’t seem super busy.

Wondering if there’s any industry or city specific stuff out there?

To any copywriter reading this. Can you share what an amazing portfolio looks like. I want to see what I'm lacking.

ISO a copywriter or technical writer who specializes in writing job descriptions or HR material. If you are that unicorn or know someone who is, could you send them my way?

I have a connection here in Atlanta who is in need of such services. You don't need to be local, FYI.

Anyone else unemployed and trying to stay mentally sharp during *gestures broadly to everything*? Thinking about taking an online class or something. Suggestions?
