Any advice to a banking and finance / corporate associate with 5 years PQE looking to make the move in house to a role that’s more commercial in nature?

I was offered a position with a non-profit healthcare organization in the DMV as a Program Manager 2 position with low programmatic experience but very strong finance experience. What do you think is the starting salary.

Had a recent job offer from Amazon TC 146 K sign on bonus 42K RSU 508 for a L6 Sr. Program manager based out of Nashville. This is barely more than the amount I make now(actually base is lower than what I make). I’m planning to ask for about 18% more, is that a high number? Does anyone have an idea how much Amazon negotiates? This is for a non tech role so I’m not sure of the exact salary range.
Any help would be appreciated

What are some strategies for building up thought leadership around your product/ service? The firm I work for (Bloc Digital) is expanding to the US and part of my role is to build up their brand. They already do some work in the US (Rolls Royce, Lubrizol, Nordson) and their products/ services center around industrial technology and marketing (immersive realities, IoT, 3D animation). Any thoughts?

I was on PTO last week and had some follow up interviews for a role I was interested in.

The bad news is, I promptly forgot to send thank you notes! (Family PTO in Disney/Kennedy Space Center - so a bit crazed!). I am back in the office today and sent the notes... but, I am wondering how big an issue this could be.

Thoughts?

How should I navigate questions about my career change and quitting my job?

I am preparing to apply for jobs. I quit my job in 12/2020 due to instability (they cut my pay and hours to part-time and a layoff was impending) and worked as a trainer. Then I went back to the company in a different role a year later. Quit 3 months later after being treated unfairly, and poor outlook of the company.

If asked in an interview, what is the best way to describe the situation?

I'm a new adjuster but have great metrics and feel I'm doing fairly well. My family is struggling living paycheck to paycheck. I've been with my company about 7 months but I feel other companies pay more. I don't want to leave though. Any tips for asking for a salary increase?

Junior corp associate at a V50 firm in NY. Just received offer a few days ago in Charlotte, a city I really want to live. However, the role is for cap mkts /asset securitization and esoteric assets, e.g., auto loans, railroad, etc. I value having some work life balance. I heard the hours in asset securitization / esoteric assets can be awful. The work is very complex / niche. Does this sound about right? I’m tempted to continue search in CLT even though this a top tier firm. Any thoughts? Thx!
