Desi folks, need help. I am frustrated with my current role, feel stuck and losing confidence every single passing day. Been job hunting for past year but no luck. Working in IT advisory but looking to move to program manager roles in tech. What are some of the companies that I can target which can offer a way out of consulting. I am starting to get minor panic attacks about not being able to change jobs.

From those interviews what was your take away? Do they need more technical knowledge, industry expertise, hands on proficiency or is it personality match?
You should lay out the job descriptions you are interested in pursuing alongside your resume - score high, medium, low on each requirement and work on those that need to be polished, maybe get some certifications. Take some time in preparing and you will be off the market like hot cake. Be mindful it’s pandemic, last qtr with fewer openings right now. Come back with a bang into the new year. Good luck!

I think it is combination of story telling, tech skills, and general selling capability. I am pretty good at execution but I am bad at story telling and selling myself. This is what is causing me concerns, how do I become a better story teller and improve my sales pitch?

What location are you at OP? I think the industry in the nearby market is also key to finding your next role

What is your current role op?

Manager at EY doing exactly the above

OP - same situation. I am stuck in erp hell :(

I have done few interviews these past few months but couldn’t make it past the first round for few and didn’t get through amazon loop.

OP - do you need sponsorship?

Yes, I do need sponsorship. I am on H1

Do you feel you are well prepared? Industry interviews are quite rigorous and consulting doesn’t help us being at a pro level with what we do. It’s honestly bits and pieces of all.

OP - if you ask most interviewers will share feedback on what you could have done better, or why you didn't get the role. Do reach out and get that, it may help focus on what the underlying issue is.

I have tried but have not received a single feedback

What is the best way to network and prepare for interviews?

Join meet ups , now virtual events. Connect with all your friends and past colleagues. Many places are hiring.

Hi! I’ve been approached by Securonix for a Sales Director role in NA. I know the field and their competitors. The pay is good but I’ve seen a handful of websites with employee rating that is really bad. Each site has roughly 10 reviews but most are negative. Mostly referring to toxic culture and zero work life balance. How true is this in this sales org and the company in general? This is a backfill role after a 3 year tenure for the person who left.
