Data Engineer → HR pivot — good move or not?
Worked as a Data Engineer at Capgemini (2021–2023), left to prepare for UPSC. That's done now, I didn't got interview calls due long career gap some how I've got an offer from MNC for an HR role.
Torn because:
I have real DE experience, but a career gap since 2023
HR is a completely different function from my background
Not sure if this pivot makes it harder to return to tech later

So… 3.5 year relationship came crashing in Jan due to covid depression, work burn out, lockdown etc. We have stayed in contact and recently he has come around to apologizing and considering getting back together. However he also revealed he started seeing someone casually 4 weeks ago and technically is cheating on her by meeting me for coffee and to discuss this. I’m upset that he’s dating others but shouldn’t be right? I mean, I did the same. Still hurts though. And I told him to sort that out

Hi! I have a quick question and could use some advice:

I have just interviewed for a position closer to home and a base salary of 65k, but haven’t heard back from them in about 2 days (He said he would make a decision by yesterday and I’ve reached out).
I have to decide on the first offer by Thursday but I haven’t heard back from the second yet. Thoughts on next move?

Being the curious, how could be all skills mentioned in resume would be current skill.
