“Spark of joy” is deeply personal, so it’s hard for anyone who doesn’t know you well to be helpful. For some, it might be triggered by an inspirational boss who cultivates talent. For others, the team, the product, the day-to-day work, or the Path (taking this job positions you for a future role that will “spark joy.”)

A successful exit strategy starts with “Know thy self.” I found this book to be very helpful.

Anyone have any idea when the hiring freeze might end within AWS ProServ? I’m currently at Amazon and have a TS clearance, PMP & CSM. I come from a Big4 consulting firm with a background in Enterprise Performance. I’ll be honest and say I’m not feeling very safe in my current role with the ongoing layoffs. Instead of leaving, I’d love to go back to my “consulting roots” and join the ProServ team. I’m taking my AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam next weekend. Hoping this freeze is lifted soon.
