Hi All, need your views on something. I have advance diploma in computer engineering and currently i am pursuing IBM certification of Data Warehouse Engineer Professional Certificate.

What is the best way to begin a transition from a help desk job to an actual career path in IT? I’m getting close to being at my current job for a year, however I have a lot of experience in the tech field, which is what landed me this job without any actual IT background. I definitely feel over qualified and under paid in the position I am in now, and looking for the next step towards an IT career. Any advice would not fall on deaf ears. TIA

I'm thinking about starting something, but I want to be well versed in entrepreneurship before I do. Any recommended resources (websites, podcasts, books, etc.)? Thanks!

Thanks!

Does anyone here struggle with finding out their purpose and knowing what they want out of their career? Especially anyone in their 30's?

I ask because I had a lot of trouble finding this out myself, and after many years of developing ways to understand myself, and creating kind of a system to do that, I started doing it with some of my friends. One of my friends recommended I check out this Fishbowl and see if anyone also can relate to that and maybe I can be helpful to anyone here!!

Hi Everyone, Started my career in government 5 years ago working in an operational role, then focussed on HR for 3 years working my way up to a middle manager role in HR as a business partner and completed my Level 7 CIPD. I don’t think HR or government is for me anymore and looking to find something new, now 24 feel I have a lot of transferable skills and knowledge but worried about private companies in other professions taking me seriously. Grateful for any advice - thanks in advance!

Hey Tech Fam,
I've been an IT Manager at a Global company for 4+ years and I'm looking for a new job. So far I've been working with referrals from friends and recruiters have said I'm not experienced enough. Should I switch gears and apply for lower roles, work on my resume further or stay at my current job for longer?

Any input would be appreciated!

Feeling the capacity crunch at my current agency and starting to think about long term moves. I’ve been promised a senior management promotion within the year but wondering - at the senior level, what are the considerations I should think about in deciding to say or jump ship?

Boutique or big 4?

I'm currently an ops manager at a big 4 in London and received an offer from a small boutique firm with 25-30% pay rise.

I'm also in the process with Accenture but I feel like I'm not sure if I'd jump just for the money but also change in environment.
What type of things would you be asking yourself if you were in my shoes and debating to jump ship?

I’m here to do some networking since I work with companies and remote contractors around the world. I provide them with a platform to legally pay, oboard or hire teams worldwide

If this is something you are interested in, we should definitely share a short virtual coffee break. Id love to share ideas and explore strategic alliances together 🚀🤝🌍

Anyone going to happy hour 🤨

For all you retail people...are you experiencing a very slow holiday season? I am a retail manager and I feel like this season has been freakishly slow. I thought we would at least match last year's number or be up a little bit but we are trending down. I talked to employees of other stores in the mall and they are saying the same thing. Is anyone else experiencing this in their market?

Everyone in nyc let’s start a petition to the mayor. Rents are out of control with people at $120k being forced to pay $2800 for studios. This is illegal.

Dear friends,

Anyone got offer from O365 support engineer in microsoft recently..

Have some doubts can you please allow me to chat with you privately.

I'm a solid software engineer; I get the job done, I'm reliable, I work hard, i can accomplish almost any technical task with enough time, I'm supposed to be smart; I went to MIT.

But I am in awe of those 10x programmer types, because -- as the name would imply-- they finish everything 10x faster than me. I don't understand how they do it, and I am super envious. I want to be like these guys. But how? Is it even learnable or is it all just God-given talent? How can I become like them?

Will JP Morgan give any joining bonus? I didn't get any joining bonus details in my offer letter .

Is having too much “attention to detail” a bad thing?

I'm waiting on a verdict for a civil jury trial (first one) and I want to go snowboarding tomorrow. They deliberated from 9-5 today with no verdict. Is it super frowned upon if I zoom in (it was a zoom trial) in a car or on the mountain or a lodge or something? Probably a dumb question but idk if receiving verdicts is a much more relaxed etiquette.

I am having my first NJT as a licensed attorney on Monday 😏 Opposing party is pro se, so it eases the nerves quite a bit. But still, I’m nervous. Suggestions, pointers, advice, dos/donts, etc.? All welcomed and greatly appreciated !

Any firms where true billables are 1950 or less?

I am conducting settlement negotiations by phone with opposing counsel (Plaintiff) tomorrow, for the first time. OC so far has been cordial and reasonable. I do employment law, if that makes a difference. Other than making it clear that their claims are weak and should settle for our offer (and also we don't have a trial date yet so it could be at least a year before we could even get to trial), what other tips do you all have?

Can I get attorney’s fees if I’m representing myself?

I often hear lawyers threatening to “call the judge” during a deposition, generally when there is a dispute among counsel over a question that has been asked. Has anyone ever actually done this? What exactly is the judge supposed to do, resolve the dispute over the phone?

Headhunters/Recruiters…
I was contacted out of the blue by a headhunter last week promising to do their best to place me in an AMLAW200 firm as a lateral. (4 years practicing, all litigation; looking to move to transactional).
I’ve never dealt with a headhunter before, and I’m taking everything they say with a grain of salt, so insight as to their effectiveness, reliability, and overall successful placements in or equivalent to the type of firms they have connections with is greatly appreciated.

Florida: After a car accident can the driver injured in the other vehicle sue the husband (wife was driving the at fault vehicle) for negligent entrustment? Wife & husband both on the car’s title.

What is a reasonable amount to accept to settle a case with undisputed liability? Let’s say for example potential damages are realistically $100k-1M. Let’s say cost of defense is $200k. No chance of them getting out on SJ or a MTD. Is cost of defense a reasonable starting point? It seems like an offer below that would not be serious.
