Has anyone bounced back from a tough job experience or a shorter-than-expected stint? I struggled in a past consulting role and ended up on a PIPa after just 6 months, which really shook my confidence and morale. I found a new role within a few months and I’m doing much better now, but I’m still trying to return to my preferred industry. Curious how others have rebuilt momentum/confidence after a setback? I’m still doubting myself at times and feeling low on confidence.

I’m sorry this happened to you! Getting your confidence back can be hard - I’ve been in a similar situation and focused on building relationships with open communication with my new team, showcasing technical skills and leadership. I kept the old feedback in mind, but tried to avoid letting it become my reality

UK market is open only for niche skillsets ( Data engineer + analytics). Firms aren't interested in sponsoring rest all skill sets, as they can be filled internally.

Referral works, but the person who is referring you should have enough clout in the organization to present your profile!

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?

Cavatappi in Roasted Red Pepper Cream Sauce

Tired of of the same old boring tomato marinara sauce? Try a roasted red pepper cream sauce!

Red bell peppers are roasted in the oven until sweet. It is then blended with caramelized onions, garlic, red pepper flakes, sun dried tomato paste, and cream into a silky, smooth and velvety sauce. Finish the sauce with a knob of butter and coat your pasta. Cavatappi works well here. Don’t forget to shave a little Pecorino Romano
