Hello Friends,

Just need some advice
Currently I am working as QA in automation, yoe : 5.10, but I feel being in QA field wont take me long in career, after 8-9 years I dont know what else is left to learn in this specific domain. You start shifting towards non technical side and become managers at early stage in your career.

I am looking for domain change and confused between two:
1)Data engineer (azure)
2)Devops

Which career path would be good to be relevant in IT for long technical career?

Which one to Join ?
TCS - Java AWS IoT - 14.5
Gap Inc - Java Azure DevOps - 16-17

I want to shift my career towards Big Data or Data Engineering so in TCS i can get project aligning my aspirations. Or should I join GAP as its a captive and provides better package ?

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?

She’s got some dresses from MMLaFleur and Of Mercer and looking for some more. We’ve searched easily 50 sites (department stores, mall brands, etc) and have been striking out hard. Was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for smaller brands. Looking for anything basically <$500.

Hello my Fishies!
English is my second language. I learned it 8 years ago and I have been living in the US for the past 5 years. I communicate very well, but sometimes I feel so bad when I don’t, or when I forget an English word in the middle of a design presentation 😣… Sometimes I wake up and my English is not good that day, for realz.
Any other designers who struggle with this? What do you do to feel or do better besides working on your presentation skills?

Any thoughts on Proskauer’s and Debevoise’s PE/Funds groups?

I’m currently a third year in my small firm’s life sciences team. I’m not really stimulated by the work and although they say they have a lot of work, they’re not good at managing workload. I haven’t had much work on my plate even after asking many times for more than six months. I’m ready to move to a larger law firm. However, I am concerned how I’ll manage the workload as a mom to a toddler. The good thing about my firm is that they’re flexible with hours. Anyone have experience balancing?

There is a good case for higher year end bonuses this year. All in comp is down in 2022 taking into account special bonuses last year. So unless PPP takes a real hit, I’d like to see a modest bonus increase. Doubt PPP is going to be down by that much (in many cases not at all) for the top 30 firms. And with firms trimming fat, that should mean higher bonuses for those that are left. Idk about the rest of you, but my firm feels as busy as ever (M&A).

Anyone here who considered/worked in consulting (MBB/T2) before law school? What was the reason you decided to commit to the law route given fairly similar pay yet arguably better WLB, exit ops, and more stimulating work?

Has anyone taken some time off without another job lined up? 1.5 years in and not sure if I even want to stay in law anymore, would quitting make it that that much harder to come back? Id want some time to really figure out what to do next, so I’d rather not lateral and ramp up at another law firm immediately.

What do you wish you knew about the lateral process before you did it? Any other tips that would be helpful to navigate it? Thanks!
