Currently there are no members in the IT Security bowl, but look forward to growth. Welcome!

I’m in IT in a large corp and I don’t know what to do. I’m the systems engineer and I planned around what I thought was a straight forward concept. It appears what I thought would be possible was wrong. Everyone celebrated thinking I’d figured it out, including me. Were spinning up a full team to build it and I’ve exhausted all avenues to find an alternative solution. There isn’t. Horrified this is a career limiting situation….

I’m a Junior product manager with a Master’s in Healthcare Management. I feel like the current company that I am at has my title as JPM, but I am doing PM work i.e creating product roadmaps, collaborating across stakeholders (business, marketing, design teams), creating user stories/features, etc. and I feel like my work isn’t being valued and I’m constantly being micromanaged by business teams expectations.

How feasible is it for me to apply to a PM role with less than a year of experience?

Hi All

Looking for recommendations for the SHRM-SCP exam; going the self study route…thanks

Does anyone know anybody coming from the Merit America IT Support program that have been successful in their roles? This is a career change for me and I'm worried that employers won't be patient while I learn or that IT teams will be overloaded and I won't have a proper mentor.

I’ve been interviewing for new positions to leave PA. But in my current position, we’ve been adding quite a few new projects (and our team is partner, two staff, and me) that will probably start over the next couple of months. I don’t think my boss has any idea I’m looking to leave - anything I should do to not feel guilty about potentially leaving them short staffed with a ton of work? Is this something you think about when looking to leave?

Hi Sharks,

Can you please suggest which would be better in terms of WLB, flexibility, growth, job security.

YOE: 4.4 years
Tech stack: Azure data factory, data lake, Azure databricks, Logic App, SQL, Pyspark (basic)

Offers:
Optum - 16 Fixed + 15% variable + pf (offer letter is not received yet)

LTIMindtree: 11 LPA Fixed only(can revise the offer based on the latest offer)

Plan to go to B-school in 3 years (1 year out of UG now). Long term goal is entrepreneurship. Have offers at a MBB firm for a generalist consultant role and at FAANG for a strategy role. FAANG offer is slightly higher (though both are a 50+% bump on my current comp). Both would have me reset to entry level. Which one should I take?

Hi fishes,

I think I am slipping into depression. My life seems to have no meaning and all I do is work. I don't get time for myself or my family, friends and loved ones. But I can't leave my job and take a break as I need the financial support.

I also feel I am earning way less than my peers which makes me feel like a loser. 4.5 years of work-ex and 16LPA.

What should I do? I need good wlb but also need money badly.

Anyone here make the jump from wholesaler to advisor? How was the transition and did you have to start from scratch?

Am I crazy for thinking that the level 1 certification is extremely, unspeakably hard? I’ve gone through the videos twice now and still can’t get through it. The jump from the video exercises to the exam is enormous

Any recommended books to read prior to beginning a summer associate position? Transactional/ Corporate & Finance

Is anyone familiar with post IB exit into something like IR? Still new to the game and other than PE (due to the herd mentality), I don’t know much about other exits for better work/life balance. If anyone has insight on type of work, recruiting process, and comp it would be super appreciated. TIA

Working on some law firm applications tonight and it sucks that I know that I am so capable and have a strong work ethic but firms can’t see beyond grades or the fact that I didn’t go to a t14 law school or prestigious undergrad. I’ve worked twice as hard and feel like I’ve barely even gotten half as much. It’s discouraging sometimes especially because I worked so hard with pretty much no guidance (first gen, poc, low-income) to get into college and do well and then get into a t30 law school

Looking to transition out of Management Consulting and going into big tech in NYC. Ideally, I would love to go in as a PMM; however I’ve heard it’s very difficult to make that jump if you don’t have a degree in engineering or CS (I’m a liberal arts graduate and in the final year of a part-time mba). Should I look to apply as a program manager role since it’s more likely my consulting experience will apply to that and see if I can transition into a PMM role from there?

Having 6+ years of experience in IT field. If I learn SAP PP, can I switch company and make it as a career.

Is there anyone who works for Google or Amazon and has a healthcare background with no tech skills? I have my MBA with a healthcare concentration and I’m looking to switch industries. I’ve started to take certification courses on Udemy but would love any insight on how I could get my foot in the door with those companies. Thank you!!

Do you always need an MBA to get into MBB?

Need advice...my old doctor moved and most of the new docs I’ve tried have refused to fill my Xanax script which I’ve been getting since I was a teen for constant panic attacks. I’ve tried other meds

Don't own a personal laptop; always use my work laptop for everything. I see people recommending Dell XPS or Lenovo Thinkpad but do you really need that for school? My plan was to just get a run of the mill laptop to use for excel and ppt...what else do i need it for?

Does anyone have experience or know of someone who went on a FWA (part-time) but didn't have kids? I'm unmarried and no kids but considering a move to 30 or so hrs/week for my sanity.

$RNWK 🚀 is it next GME?

Friends I received offer with joining date did not take it due to family emergency then this pandemic came now no joining date for me. How are you guys doing are you getting new people onboard?

I’m looking into exiting consulting and moving into product management. Picked up a few books to read. Would a PM certification provide a lot of value? Any other tips are appreciated! Thank you.

Would love to hear your best tips for negotiating an offer / what worked for you

Ey declared ten days of family leave

Am I the only one whose LinkedIn newsfeed is filled with “proud to announce...” posts from new hires joining consulting?
I too received multiple offers, but didn’t care to flex and humble brag lol...

I am a Manager at Accenture primarily into technical program management. Make less than 150k , any recommendations on companies that will pay 180K for a program/project management. Primarily looking for remote or less than 50% travel.

Starting the interview process with another company in industrials, and my current TC is ~$600k. Headhunter wants to chat about comp expectations - anyone have advice on how to approach? Is there a minimum bump people tend to shoot for before making the jump (e.g. 25%)? Trying to keep it clean and focus on annual TC, but plan to also communicate I expect to be made whole on my unvested RSUs . TIA!

Thoughts on DoorDash?

how many employees got laid off from zs in recent days and which job profile has been affected the most?

Where do you guys invest/save Your emergency savings fund? How many months do you save? I feel I'm more conservative and save more because I work in consulting.

How many ties do you own vs wear regularly?

Hey Techies

Can anyone refer me for RPA UiPath position?
YOE: 6.6
RYOE: 3.2

Thanks in advance! 🙂

EY fish - when you are laid off, is it immediate the day you're told or do you get a little warning?

Hi would anyone in cybersecurity like to briefly share what they do and their career path? I have a hobby for coding and want to learn more about cybersecurity jobs.

NYC based payment startup Paay suffered data breach exposing 2.5 million card transactions records. The breach seems to be result of basic cyber hygiene which left database exposed. Incidents like these can kill an venture. In modern era of presumed breached, take cautious approach and bake cyber hygiene as part of process.
