LinkedIn always tells me to message the recruiter when I apply for a job. Is this ok/normal to do?

Hello!
I was wondering what kind of contractual or other barriers I might face if I apply for one of the big 4 while working on a project with them in my current company.
I am not too involved in the project but I was in a few meetings and went on a field trip with them as well.
The position that I am applying for is in a different team and city.
Will this considered “poaching” if the consulting firm hires me? Would they need to talk to my current employer?

Any recommend sources for interview prep at the associate level?

Hey folks,

Has anyone else worked two programming roles at one time?
I currently work as a Contracted Software Engineer and I’m set to finish my contracted time at the end of October. To stay ahead of game I started to move forward in the interview process with another opportunity as an Application Software Programmer and just received notification that I got the position. I definitely could use the extra paycheck to help out with my financial obligations. Just wanted to see if anyone has done this before.

Offering advice to job seekers who go around recruiters and message hiring teams, execs, etc. You are putting the Recruiters job in danger. If a Recruiter declines you or doesn’t choose to reach out, it is because the hiring team declined you, or you don’t have the experience. You will most likely not be considered for future roles because of this. When I see people giving advice to reach outside the Recruiter, it’s bad advice. Very rare is this a good idea.

I recently had an interview with a very promising pre-IPO company in the AI/ML space for a SE leadership position. The interview feedback was better than I expected, but with a twist. They have already given the offer to someone else, but they still want to bring me on board and they asked me what I would like to do. I am in the process of gathering more info, but it is tempting to ask about pivoting into product management. What would you do in this situation?

How often are hiring committees? Does it depend on the group?

How do you find a new opportunity after 1 month? What do you put on your resume to avoid immediate rejection? Left a solid long term SR managing role for a more JR sole contributor position because of hiring attorney vision of what we can do together and more money. Less then week into role hiring attorney is gone. Still have the salary increase but am seeing all the reason he (and others) are leaving. Respected company but legal department has issues and no program for promotion.

Hello fellow BA’s

Have anyone worked on consulting projects while working as Business Analyst? If yes, how would you describe your experience in one sentence.

Hi all hope your well, I’m a junior early in my career, in the last year I’ve been working as contractor subcontracted as a professional services consultant for a Fintech firm where I’ve taken responsibilities in Project management and working as a part of the delivery team, as well as studying/holding a prince 2 foundation certificate. I’m seeking opportunities in business analysis, aside from just applying what are the best ways I can upskill myself to be proficient for such a role.

Anyone successfully made a jump from BA to product owner? How did you do it? Any tips on trying to make that transition as part of a job hunt, as opposed to moving up internally within the company?

Why Verizon employees are transferred to Infosys.

Boss2 (American): “Why can’t I just do THIS?”
Boss1 (American): “Because it just complicates things! Why do you have to go and throw a spanner in the wheel?!”
Boss3 (British): “Spanner in the wheel?? You’re mixing up your metaphors. It’s spanner in the works.”
Boss2: “What’s a spanner?”
Boss3: “In ENGland where we speak ENGlish, it’s the item you mistakenly refer to as a wrench.”
Boss2: “So – a wrench in the works?”
Boss3: “Yes, it’s a tool that screws everything up …like you.”

Hey CDs and ACDs: when you were mids and seniors what do you wish you'd had to help you grow and get to the stage you're at now?

I'm a senior AD and all the resources out there are for juniors. I'm not sure what I need - I feel pretty confident in most areas - so maybe all I need is time to practice and get better. But is there something you did/wish you'd done to improve your abilities, develop your career path, or open your mind?

I interviewed for an internship at an agency I wasn’t super excited about, but wanted to get some interview practice in. When I met the ACD who interviewed me, we really hit it off and it made me (..)

Trying to make jump to ACD. Just updated book. Like it. Proud of it. Don't have any of the awards my ad chums have. Do I need to do something stunty to get noticed by bigger agencies? Any other tips?

Did anyone else watch the One Show special awards ceremony earlier? Did you also find it irritating?

Wtf does I'd like to see more of your personality in your work mean? Is that just recruiter lingo for we don't want want you?

Fellow AD: I need to work on my craft more. What process do you have when polishing your work? Do you have a check list? A workflow? Etc.

Has anyone experienced being partnered with someone at a different level or point in their career? Did it harm/ help you? How do you navigate getting partnered with someone at a different level, or asking to have a partner with your level of experience without causing an issue?

I hate it when I hear an AD say they "can't draw." No one is expecting a work of art, just a shitty sketch that illustrates the idea.
