Hello - hope everyone is having a great weekend. I'm looking into risk assurance opportunities at Meta, especially Application Manager, Controls (min 5 YOE) and Manager, Compliance (min 12 YOE). I am a Senior Manager with 9 years of IT risks assurance experience. Does anyone have any thought on which position I should apply? If anyone currently at Meta could share your experience, that would also help. If anyone is open to providing referrals, I could provide my background. Facebook (Meta)
I am a graduating student who just got offered 65k for a solution analyst role at Deloitte USDC (Data Engineering Focus). From reading previous posts it seems to be a lot of negative thoughts surrounding the USDC, but straight out of college is this a good opportunity?
I'm looking to gain as much experience as possible out of college in an IT role and wondering what exit opportunities may be in place a year or two down the road if there is little/slow progression.
Any Advice?

Hi Everybody,
I'm currently working as an outsource in Rapid Metro as Technical Assistant/Civil. I earned a Master degree in Water Resource Engineer after B.Tech in Civil Engineering. Due to Covid 19 I took job back in Civil sector even though I have a masters degree in WRE. It's been almost 6 months of constant applying and rejection and still I'm nowhere close to a job in my dream branch which is the Water sector.Im hopeful that through this portal I may find an entry level position in water

I do feel like coworkers can either not take you seriously OR be intimidated when you are younger than them. I've seen both, but how you handle it is similar. Stay professional, polite, and peaceful. It's okay to point out things that could help coworkers be more efficient, but mastering the art of delivery will go a long way.
Chiming in as a girly-girl blonde, 30F in an Advisor role…. I am a huge believer in that we “teach people how to treat us” when it comes to these things. You need to show up with confidence, not apologies.
Don’t downplay your voice with phrases like “I think” or “just,” and don’t make excuses for being young. Stop saying sorry or um, immediately. Prioritize knowledge, speak with clarity, and let your competence lead the way. Speak up in meetings and be polished and competent. Being bubbly and friendly will not help you. You can be kind to others but you can do so without being OVERLY nice.
Don’t take notes for others or offer to do admin work.. that’s what their assistants are for. I hope this helps! I really don’t have this problem as a young woman in this business and in fact I think as a woman we have such a huge advantage! ❤️

Best advice I have is to state your advice confidently and then maintain some sort of documentation. Don’t use it as told-you-so material, but have it handy in case someone tries to pin anything on you.
