Anyone here struggling to find any real tech jobs? I am in the data and analytics aiming to exit consulting for industry but this place seems barren. We barely have any tech here, mostly just a handful of orthodox American corporations like UPS, Coca Cola, etc which have IT/Data functions more for operations than anything else. Anyone else struggling?

ATL is not a tech city. If you want a real tech job, go to the west coast.

That argument applies to Atlanta too. Plenty of tech jobs, no less than Dallas nor Raleigh

I'd just apply to remote tech jobs out of Silicon Valley. A lot of companies in SF are still offering quite a few remote positions and then you get SF salary for Atlanta cost of living. Seems like the best of both worlds

Not really in the long term. Your chances to get promoted to leadership positions would be limited versus those who have a presence locally. I am past the Individual Contributor life.

I left Audit at a midsize firm to join KPMG erp implementation consulting about 6 months ago. So far they seem to only want to staff me on projects with a heavy focus on technical accounting and audit. Spoke to a lot of others who have left and seems like being pigeonholed or staffed on projects not related to the actual core work of the practice is the common reason. I've been on the fence about whether I should stay and hope to be staffed on better projects in the future or leave soon...

I’m feeling really drained and frustrated with my current role. I like recruiting but it’s getting exhausting. What’s next for me after this? What roles can I look into that are less demanding but still pay well. For context I make around 76k right now and would like to increase that. Am I stuck in recruiting? I currently work for a big name firm. Do you have any company suggestions to look into where recruiting might not be as overwhelming and stressful where it won’t consume my life.

People with dogs: how did you get your dog used to city life? My dog is almost a year and half now (having lived the past ~5 months in the city) and he is terrified of the city.

The cars going by, sudden sounds, bikes/scooters are a huge stressor, but more than anything it’s people - if he sees anyone walking or around him he panics and tries to flee. I can’t afford to send him to an expensive dog trainer and don’t know what to do :/
