Been doing same coding (html, css and some js) for years for same company.
Life has got in way of me doing any further training in other tools and libraries. Plus after doing a degree in my spare time, I really needed just to be with my family and … read books, play games and have a life.

Now I’ve been made redundant and have nothing anyone wants (React, typescript etc). 10 years experience in web dev, a degree in computers and IT seem to mean nothing.

I’m rambling, sorry, also at a loss.

I am so sorry to hear that. Have you tried posting in the job referral and job openings boards to see if you can get any leads there? I would definitely give that a shot.

I will try that, thank you.

The market is very tough. Even if experienced in a modern tech stack you will struggle. If all you have been working with is HTML, CSS and only some JavaScript, then things are not looking good for you. What was your degree in, can that be leveraged at all?

Computing and IT degree, so I could maybe go into tech support etc. I have been looking at and happy to do a junior position to get the knowledge. But at 45, what employer is going to think that's a good idea.
I'll send some time today posting in referral boards, and continuing my React course.

Thank you both

Read that McK is paying 2K higher than BCG this year which means BCG will probably raise again next year to at least match. However, they can’t just copy McK with 2K to match because that would look bad so they’ll have to beat it again. Then McK and Bain will follow. Barring a devastating recession, I’m guessing this means MBB is all getting raises again next year?

How many billable hours per week is considered at capacity? I’m getting pushback on boundaries I’m setting about additional matters and marketing work from my firm when I’ve been billing 60-75 hours per week for the last 6 weeks, and I’m still behind on my work. I feel like it’s reasonable to not kill myself further to fit in more/turn things around faster at this point, but am I being unreasonable? I expect my workload to remain at this level through the end of the year at least.

I am in a tech IC position. One of friends switched to FAANG by converting the profile to consultant profile. The friend who might have less tech knowledge than me is now in FAANG and earning more.

Hello, what is the going salary for a chief of staff in technology?

Should I leave my first permanent job as a team leader of 4 DPs in a FMCG business (only been there for 4 months) to join a huge Tech business for a 12months contract?

They offer me 60% more money than my permanent role. Circa 2000 dollars every month in my pocket

However, I am worried if I accept the tech role and I do not become permanent I will be looking again for a job in 12-24 months and my CV won't be showing a managerial position. Won't be showing any progress.

How does contract to hire work? If I’m offered $37/hr on w2 for 3 months and then possibly a permanent position, how much can I expect to get annually as a full time company employee as a BI data analyst II? I have a M.S. and certificates in DA but this will be my first job as DA.
I prefer working for what is offered on contract without negotiating, and then negotiate when I transition into the company itself so I have a better chance of getting the contract position and show my skills.
