I’ll bite and I’ll be blunt. You need to assess your strengths and opportunities, and put a strong structure in place, which seems to be your main problem from the looks of this post.

What are you expecting to get as responses when you’ve provided such little context in your question? Where do you need our feedback? Unless you’re just looking for sympathy.

Again, to be blunt, you need to work on more than just an elevator pitch. Based on what I‘be read from you, you need to elevate your communication skill set - learn how to communicate with impact, and keep well structured and coherent throughout. Best of luck!

Is all 12 yoe in product? That seems like a fair amount to get a director role, but if some of those aren't in product that could make sense.

Frankly, if you aren't getting past tech screen, something is off about your resume or your ability to communicate your background and how it fits the role. Tech screen should be a slam dunk, so I would focus on shaping that conversation.

I interviewed at KPMG on 11/14 and got a verbal offer the next day but since then waiting to hear from them. Been following up continuously but the partners are not replying it seems. In the meanwhile i have an offer from BT offering 90k for 4 yrs of experience which seems to be fair. I am just unsure whether to accept the offer as I was waiting for kpmg reply as I want B4 on my resume which apparently is a big deal. Is BT also good on resume for future employers ??

I was just talking to a younger friend who goes to Cal and It seems like the kids these days hate FAANG or at least Amazon and Facebook are not desired at all.

Curious on whether people are thinking about the ethics of their exit company when deciding to move?

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.
