Do lateral moves actually reset your career trajectory — or just buy time? I’ve seen people make lateral moves hoping for better balance, a fresh start, or renewed momentum. Sometimes it works, other times it feels like a temporary reset before the same issues resurface. I am wondering when do lateral moves truly accelerate a career? Anyone made this move, any tips?

Anybody here (or your spouse) on an L2 EAD and not received the renewal before your current one expires? What did you / your employer do?

Hi all , looking for thoughts on best company for sfcc. Is company like Deloitte better or a web agency ?

Hi,
Is somebody here working in Poland. I work as model validator and I have 2 year's experience and I would like to know if I get paid fair. What is the salary for a position like that?

I need help managing a contract transition. I just started working as project manager owning a large system and help manage a team of developers contracted by a different company. Now their contract is ending and I’ve been asked to represent the gov’t as a contractor and make sure the transition goes well. I’ve never been in this position…usually I’m either transitioning in or out. The outgoing isn’t very organized with their knowledge transfer and documentation and want to help them but how?

How much time does it take to get i-140 approved under Regular processing? Firm saying no for applying under premium processing. Giving me an option to self-pay premium processing fee if I want $1410

Been having trouble moving on since girlfriend ended relationship 3 weeks ago after 2+ years of dating. Before ending it she came over 3 weeks prior to basically give me a chance to work things out and we had a good discussion but then I went back into our routine and didn’t really fight for it or have serious follow up convos that we needed. Now I just have so many regrets that I let her go. I know we still love each other and left on “good” terms but can’t forgive myself for my lack of action.

Please suggest me to decide the company:

11 years in automation.
1. EPAM Anywhere - giving 25.2LPA (Fixed) and 80k joining bonus - as Sr Test Engineer.
2. HCL - giving 28.8 fixed and 3.2 as variable - as Test Manager

Anybody could refer me to Deloitte.
I'm happy to refer anyone to EY as well.
Thank you

My "work wife" recently left my company and I cannot help feel depressed. I miss her! I wish I had known this before so I could have tried convincing her to stay.

Unreliable coworker help - There’s a coordinator on my team who assists me and the other strategists but literally every time I ask her to help with something she says yes & then waits until the last minute to tell me she wasn’t able to do it/makes up an emergency excuse. Trying to be understanding but this is getting ridiculous- she/parents/dog/boyfriend are sick (8x), forgot about another urgent project (10x), WiFi is down or power is out RIGHT when I ask for help (5x).

Hi, been stuck in the contract analysis/review cycle. I have asked a few recruiters how to make a lateral move into in-house. They told me to focus on contract management, which I have been doing for the past year. Now that I have, are there any sites besides “jobscan” that I can use to make sure my resume fits the job descriptions? Does anybody know any recruiters that could help me, as well?

Curious if anyone else is or has been in the same boat. I started as an assistant at an entertainment law firm prior to passing the bar. Upon passing, the partner told me they would hire an assistant for me since I now became an associate. That was 1.5 years ago and I am still in the limbo of juggling my own workload + doing assistant roles for my supervisors. I have also had no increase in pay, which is a huge deal for me. Is this normal in the entertainment world? Any suggestions?

I am looking for a new job at the end of a long career. I have excellent experience in IP and Supply Chain Management. I've been fortunate to be in a high-paying position in the Los Angeles area and I rarely see comparable positions posted.

Any recommendations for finding the rare executive-level legal positions or for landing on the radar of the big executive search firms would be much appreciated!
