Hi Sharks,

I’m a Junior at Colgate University and have been heavily searching for a summer 2022 internship since October of 2021. I have had countless networking calls with various alumni in different professions and have learned plenty of great information, but have not gotten lucky enough to find an internship. I’m beginning to worry that opportunities are going to become hard to come by for summer of 2022. Any advice?

Help! I recently purchased a wanna get away ticket through Southwest for a business trip that was about $850. I was asked to cancel the trip due to other work issues in my local area. As luck would have it, there's a strong possibility that I landed a great new job and they need me to start right away. The credit is under my personal rapid rewards account. Ideas to help me avoid writing a big check to my company??

Thoughts on taking a position in the same practice group and same class as your spouse?

6th year - over 2000 hours, great review last year, this year they said will not promote me. They will do a mid year review early next year and if still no good, will discuss “transition” plan. HR said I have until next spring. Sounds like I can stay on payroll for another 7-8 months? Is it real? I have a lot of financial obligations so want to know the worst scenario

First manager role, high pressure to deliver. Tips to succeed?

What’s the point of having multiple awards for “craft writing” if your agency only sees you as the translator?  🙄

Planning on retaking reg in three weeks. Got 62 and weaker on all the main section in Q4 2017. I didn’t do well on the time management and sims. Any suggestions? Is it enough time? Need motivation.

Kind of all over the place - considering ram 1500 crew cab, M240i, Volvo S60 T5. I love cars but haven’t been able to have one in ~5 years and now I want everything all at once.

The truck I drive for a dairy transportation company broke down in the middle of nowhere and they told me to "wait" for someone to come help me. It's been 6 hours, the products have a limited shelf-life and I am wasting time by standing here.

Hi there, I need some guidance for the preparation for cloud architect role at AWS. What is the interview process and how should one prepare for it? Any suggestions or guidance is much appreciated.

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?

Has anybody made the move from tech consulting (implementation focused) to a product/SaaS company in a Solutions Architect/Engineer role? What's the transition like? Pros/cons of each?

From 180k full time to 200k and 10 percent sweat equity in a boutique consulting firm as their cto, to kickstart their AWS practice .. any thoughts. This new company does not have any product thinking or strategy and full lifecycle cloud delivery pedigree yet ..

Thoughts on exiting to ethics and compliance program manager role at a Fortune 500 consumer goods co? In regulatory compliance consulting now

🐠, need opinions/advice. Persistent recruiter asked me to consider having an exploratory convo with a company for a VP role even though I’m not looking to make a switch. That casual convo has morphed into two interviews this week, one with an SVP and EVP and one with the global head of the practice. It would be a $65k bump in salary. Worth going through with it? Should I mention that I’m not actively looking to leave my current job? Been here 6 months…

Going to give notice soon, to a manager I’ve had a rocky relationship with, who is likely to get mad. Has anyone here has a similar situation? Any tips on doing so gracefully and minimizing damage?

Hey fish fam!

Anyone here interviewed for a strategy role with YouTube? Any tips on what to expect during the phone interviews?

Got an offer. But, the employer is not willing to wait for year end joining bonus. This is already an earned bonus for FY21 with payout 3 months later in Dec.
The sign on doesn’t cover the year end bonus with a gap of 18K. Otherwise, I want to accept the offer. How would you approach this conundrum?

Have an upcoming FB loop interview next week. And today i got reached out for another role that i applied at FB, should i bring this out to the hiring manager during the loop? Wondering if this would make any difference perhaps speeding up the decision process. Any thoughts?

4YOE @Amazon & trying to lateral to a similar role @FAANG. Have my undergrad GPA (3.8/4) on resume from top 15 school but colleague says to take it off (looks silly). If it’s a good school & high GPA, why ever take it off your resume? Even if 10 YOE...can’t hurt?

Received an external offer in a customer success role. Overall TC is slightly lower than current salary. How would you negotiate? Help and advice is needed - never done this before. Base+Bonus 210K, RSUs 90K, Sign on 15K. Where can I get more and what makes sense? Current TC is ~250K
