For those on a Skilled Worker Visa, how do you move jobs in London? I feel so stuck, not growing, and feel like holding a double-edged sword :(.
I am craving growth and a new start.

I'm two thirds through the PMA Core Certification, and the info is great but the tests are a joke. They need to contract with an educator that specializes in testing and assessment to come in and develop exams that actually measure if you know the material. The bad test design devalues the certification. Not to zero, but I definitely will not be proud to have earned it. It just means I had $1300 and sat through 15 hours of video lectures.

Hi, anyone get their CIA after finishing up CPA? I’m currently trying to finish part 2 of the 3 exams, and I’m finding the study material Gliem provides doesn’t help much with part 2.

I have an interview for an in house position (only attorney) at a small non-profit focused on conservation easements. I am a transactional associate at a mid sized law firm. The prospect of freedom from the billable hour and contributing to meaningful work are the draws. The cons are that while the salary at the non-profit would only be slightly less than what I am making now, pay increases and opportunities for advancement will be much less than where I am now. Thoughts on making the shift?

I’ve been an engineer for my entire career (10 years), and I’m curious about what a move to product management would be like. I would love to hear experiences from those who have spent the bulk of their time in one role and then moved to a product management role. Did you enjoy the move or do you miss your old position?

Hi everyone Kindly let me know which is the best out of these two
YOE: 11

Heard lot of firing in PS and about WLB.
Need company which has better WLB, job security and growth

Looking to get an Alfa Romeo Giulia Ti sometime this year.

Any one here have any experiences with Goldberg weprin?

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.
