Currently an M and a recruiter reached out for a Sr D position at a company with 4K employees. Am I psyching myself out or should I prepare like it’s any other interview? Even if I excel, am I setting myself up for failure with such a large progression?

Titles mean nothing. VP's at banks are a dime a dozen, look at Google, everyone is a lead or head. Congrats on the opportunity, but prepare like any other interview. If it really is a stretch role, good, you shouldn't embark on new opportunities unless you're at least a little scared. Growth comes from failure, no matter how small.

I’m looking at doing a side gig doing professional mentoring, interview preparation and resume design/building/editing for some supplemental income. I’ve been doing it informally for a couple years with folks in my network and to much success. Folks have recommended I branch out and start charging for the hours I spend on it. I actually enjoy it and very savvy in the federal government world and consulting. Anyone know where i could start or be connected into doing this?

Hey quick question looking for feedback. I am currently working as a business applications analyst for a financial institution and I have an MBA in information systems management. I have an offer to start with Accenture later this year as a Senior Analyst, would it be more beneficial to take the job in consulting then go to tech or look for a position in at a tech company?

Hey y'all! I'm about to start being a manager of a new temp to hire employee, and to be honest, I'm terrified I will either be a pushover or be over demanding due to how deadline driven the proposal writing process is and lack of the ability to say no to some people who bring the proposals to me to write. Do you have any advice on how to start learning to manage others? I currently mentor a few new grads to help them learn the basics of how to work in different sectors as a professional.
