Have you ever gotten the job, the raise, the offer—and instead of relief or pride, you just felt… flat? Not unhappy. Just oddly numb. I’ve been sitting with that lately and wondering if it’s a red flag or just a weird phase of growth. Anyone else felt this?

That was my last role which was a survival job I had to take to pay the rent. It was a horrible fit and I did not last long —I felt more relief leaving than I did after I signed the initial offer. Not sure if it is a red flag, but definitely a go with your gut scenario.

Yes that was a role I got where I quit because it wasn’t a good fit. Even though I had multiple rounds of interviews and it paid a lot higher than my previous jobs, I don’t remember being excited about the offer.

I’ve worked in sales for 12 years (8 years retail sales and management, 4 years inside tech sales and management). I’m feeling the burn and looking for something else in the tech field. I’m making $140k. I have a college degree but no marketing, engineering, or product experience. What other departments/jobs could I jump to and still keep close to my OTE? I’m pretty good at Salesforce and have thought about a SFDC admin type role, but that’s all I’ve thought of so far.

Hi fishes, I need some guidance.

I am currently into the SAP Security domain and I absolutely do not have any interest in it. I am planning to shift to development and have started on some courses on my own.

My question is, is there any future prospects in SAP UI5 and Fiori? Since my background is in SAP, I assume it will make a domain switch easier.

Or should I move into the JS-React path since there seems to be a lot of demand? But my worry is about my lack of actual work experience

Hey, another question for y’all. How should I reach out to a recruiter who offered me a full time position but I rejected for a better offer? At the time I was offered the position my main concern was lack of guidance/support from leadership. Now, a year later I have experience being in a role with limited over site (not as scary as I initially thought it would be) and feel confident I would excel in the role I rejected. How would you approach this situation? Thanks in advance!!
