Beware of crunch in the dev teams. Strategy looks fun but in game purchases and always on commercial models seem to be the go now. Blech.

I'm similarly minded, it seems certainly difficult to pivot into the space without coming from a software background

When I was a kid I always wanted to be a video game tester. I've since done some QA for software companies and I can say without question that I'd hate to do that job now

I want to take more brainstorming, decision making responsibilities but I don’t see that in the career path for PM. Career path usually goes like this- Sr PM, Director l, Sr Director, and so on. But all do same work.

Hello! I’m a PharmD with 6+ years experience in a clinical setting (hospital) and have been trying to break into the industry realm for about a year and a half now. Can anyone explain to me why it’s so hard?? 😂 Is it normal to take this long to find something? I’ve had maybe 4-5 interviews and the feedback I’ve gotten is they decided on someone with experience or someone internal (recently ghosted by a company after a panel interview as well). Just wondering if it’s worth it to continue trying.

I am very torn and I need some help:
I currently work for a US consulting company (big4) and have an opportunity to go work for a European one (different company, big4). Normally that would be a no-brainier - go work in Europe, however the pay is more than half of what I make in the US (with some perks such as a company car, pension,..) and based on this, I have a dilemma…
Note: it’s normal for consulting salaries to be low in Europe, but the city I’ll be going is just as expensive as mine now..

Hi All, I recently interviewed at Amazon and Google for software engineer and passed both interviews. I have an offer on the table from Amazon but with Google I am officially in team matching and my recruiter tells me that the queue is pretty backed up now and it can take a long time. My question is should I take the Amazon offer now or decline Amazon and hold out for Google? I have heard that Google has better wlb/benefits. But I'm scared to decline Amazon without a guaranteed job offer.
