Hello everyone. My name is Roland.
I would like to ask for your help and suggestion. I studied in civil engineering and working since 2005 in Albania. I have recently arrived and live in Birmingham, Mi. I am trying to apply to a company near the area where I live but I have not had any success even in the interview phase. I have worked with residential and service buildings with reinforced concrete structures which are more common in Europe. Also with roads, bridges, etc. Thank you.

Just got turned down for a job I really wanted. No interview. I even had a referral, but they didn't even look at my book! Feeling empty and worthless right now. I know I have inherent value as a human being but I am so desperate to succeed and can't seem to catch a break. Just wanted to vent. Thank you for reading.

I recently had an interview with a very promising pre-IPO company in the AI/ML space for a SE leadership position. The interview feedback was better than I expected, but with a twist. They have already given the offer to someone else, but they still want to bring me on board and they asked me what I would like to do. I am in the process of gathering more info, but it is tempting to ask about pivoting into product management. What would you do in this situation?
