Considering a big career shift from 100% virtual role at a consulting firm to an in-person HR role in DC. Happy in my current role except for the fact that it will only ever be remote, and feel like I need to network/be in person while I am young. Worth it to make the switch and take the risk of leaving a good job for an unknown one?

Is there a career path towards an SE role in tech without a computer science degree?

Hi fishes can some refer me for fraud investigation or compliance

How good are the future prospects of big data?

Currently I'm working as SDE 2 in java AWS microservices tech stack with 3 yoe. I am getting an opportunity of a big data role within my current organization. Not sure if i should take up this opportunity. Please suggest.

I’m worried that my voice, communication style, and body language comes across as too effeminate for our straight clients and peers. I’m transitioning to sales now and am insecure that my personality and appearance may hinder sales gen? Client industry is very old school. Can LGBT partners//Ds/MDs chime in how they managed the same transition?

I’m a bit self-conscious about what people think of me, and I feel like this is hindering my ability to act the way a manager should. It’s my first time in this type of role and I’m realizing I have some growth to do if I wanna keep the job.

Anyone know about data science at Analytica? Do they keep people through multiple contracts? Will the company support me with the client to get my software tools? Can I actually take my PTO?

Hey Big Fishes,

I'm a ReactJS Dev, with Yoe: 3+ yrs.
Currently working at a startup with a ctc of 11lpa.
Worked on (completed) 6 large scale projects. in a small team of one or two in the first two years but my company got took over last year and have been working on the 7th project since then. So its getting kind of boring 😅 and monotonous..
Should I look for a switch in the current market situation or stay and work on my back-end skills.
If yes, what should be my expectations?? PleaseGuide.

Hello, can we use this thread to share job openings? I thought this might be a great way to help each other out!

First time working with a new service line MD and the first big project he needed me to do did not turn out right. It wasn’t what he was looking for. His communication skills are hard to follow. I feel awful that I messed up. Now I have to meet with him AGAIN to go over it. Any advice? How do I start communicating effectively?

Hey everyone! Just joined and this is my first post. What a cool community to discover! I work at Better which has really started to fall apart over the past few months, starting with the incident in Dec. I’m trying to get out as soon as possible, and looking into such roles as executive assistant or operations manager type positions. I’d also love to break into ux research, however I don’t have that experience. Any tips/referrals/ ideas would be greatly welcomed! Remote preferred. Thanks!

I’m pivoting from a business manager to a product manager. I’ve worked on several digital projects from a business owner perspective but am new to being in the PM role. I’d appreciate any tips for success and how to start strong. Thanks!

Soon I will be working on designing a shared home office for my husband and me. Any ideas for the best kind of set up for this? For context, I work from home and he does not, but he is also an attorney who needs a desk and space to be able to work from home when needed. Thoughts on two separate desks facing each other, on separate walls, along a single wall? The only thing that I think would be a little weird is if we were back to back, in case of my video calls for work

Can I export a list with all emails I sent for the month? I would like to use it to compare to my billed time to make sure I don’t miss anything. Usually I go through my sent inbox but it has so much extra info so it’s not a quick scan. Plus outlook does weird things sometimes like combines conversations so I only see most recent sent item in that convo. Alternatively, do you have a good way confirming you caught all of your email time?

Hi, looking for some advice. I’ve been a medical assistant for 10 years, and am finishing up my bachelor’s in healthcare management. However finding hard looking for practice or office manager positions, as they’re looking for people with 3+ years of management experience. How can I get an organization to take the chance to invest in me and give me the opportunity to prove I have what it takes. We all have to start somewhere.

I received an offer and asked about their parental leave. I don't plan on having kids anytime soon but would like to in 3-5 years and hope I can start a long-term career here. Was that a weird question to ask? The company initially responded that they are rewriting it so I didn't get much detail.

Can anyone provide insight for the salary of Senior Program Manager in NYC ? I have checked levels, glassdoor, etc and every site offers very different ranges…

I’m sending resumes out far and wide, ideally I’d be in a new role ASAP. I’m already starting to get requests for phone screenings so formal interviews will probably be on the way. The kicker is that my wife is 6 months pregnant and our first child is due next February, which is busy season the public accounting jobs I am applying to. I feel like requesting paternity leave or letting them know a baby is coming will make hiring me more difficult. How do I approach this, and when do I do it?

Do people still do reference checks? Seems like a useless exercise. Any thoughts? I am interviewing candidates and don't seem like I am going to glean much from a 15 minute call with a stranger, hand selected by the candidate. I mean that is what I always did when asked for references. If I am wrong, please let me know.

Products I worked on previously were sold to a new company. I am a good fit because of my experience. However, I specifically left the previous company because I disagreed with the strategic direction they were taking with the products and didn't leave on the best terms with some of those involved. I've been told that the leadership is all new people, but, some might still be there.

How up front should about be about that history in the interviews?

I’m interviewing for a Project Manager role and they want me to present a project I’ve worked on showing my thought process and how I tackle problems like managing cross-functional teams, creating/adapting processes, managing tasks and priorities, etc. It can be in any format and will be to a panel. I’ve never done an interview like this before. Any tips?

Heard the person I’m interviewing with is a “tough” interview and I’m in my head about it. What are some questions that have caught you off guard? This is for a comms position.

I had my last interview with a buy side company. They said it went well and now are asking for a former manager reference and a list of my highest achievements. What is the purpose of asking this ? How will they use it ? Can it fail the interview process ?

🙏🙏🙏🙏 for some likes so I can DM people…thank youuu

I'm considering canceling a job interview because I got another offer and I'm not interested in the company at all. Bad idea?

I’m in the 2nd and final round for a position with a well know company. However, they haven’t asked me my salary expectations yet and am unsure if I provided expectations on my job application. How should I handle this IF the final interview goes well?

Trying to pivot my career from non-tech company to tech, in a similar role (revenue analysis, but in Sales)
This is purely because I am looking to expand my career into tech, also looking for more TC.
If you were like me, I’d like to hear what was your motivation&how you succeeded in pivoting your career.

For some context I went through my
final round with a potential employer a
little over a week ago. If the recruiter
said they'd provide me with an update
by Monday (today) and they did not
provide it yet, when should I reach out
and follow up?

wish me luck!! got an interview in 4 hours

How do you respond if you’re asked ..why were you let go from your last position? If it was a personality issue with your manager ? Thank you.

Anyone here with an interview experience at Amazon? I had the full-day virtual last round last week - the recruiter emailed with a suggested time *2 days from now* to “follow up with me on the results”. Does this mean it’s a no? Is this ridiculous process normal?

Random, but valid/persistent thought.

After 2 years of a pandemic and working independently for many years, I am not feeling interviews AT ALL. There are points in the interview where I want to just say "Look! Either hire me or don't".

How can I get over this feeling? I'm over the whole "stand in the line of fire to prove how good I am" bs. Any recommendations for getting over this or possible industries to pivot into to avoid bs interview processes and ghosting?
