Hello,
I am looking into switching into Cloud Engineering. I have earned Data Analytics certification and I am starting my Google Cloud, AWS, and Microsoft Azure trainings to obtain certifications. Is there anything else I might be missing? Is there any advice from those working in this field? I would like to be well rounded and prepared for when I do eventually begin to apply to companies.

I work in FP&A consolidations at a large sell side bank. I moved internally after working in the planning group of a Working Capital Solutions business. I often feel like I would enjoy client facing or advisory work because it would help me build a skill that could translate to me potentially running my own advisory firm one day… I feel my role just looks at numbers on a page which doesn’t help me develop translatable subject matter skills or expertise. I don’t want to be a robot. Any advice?

Hi Sharks,

Need your advise urgently.

Can you please suggest which would be better in terms of WLB, flexibility, growth, job security.

YOE: 4.4 years
Tech stack: Azure data factory, data lake, Azure databricks, Logic App, SQL, Pyspark (basic)


Offer:

Optum - 19.16 [16 Fixed + 15% variable + pf (offer letter is not received yet) ]

LTIMindtree: 21.50 (40 to 50k will be variable) Offer letter is not received yet

In terms of WLB and less stressful job, which one is better? to move in management role or stay in technical after having 11 yrs of experience.

Looking to jump ship, pay wise it isn’t a big raise big 4 to industry but title wise it’s better. SC to Director, is it worth?

Hi Guys,

I have 11 years if IT expe

I'm currently serving notice period. Last working fate is September 2nd week. Hardly one and half months left. Worse thing is I do not hold any offer yet.

Thinking of transforming my career to Devops line , I dropped my paper. I started learning and doing hands ons on devops

But I'm little afraid how to get placed in devops role. Will they recruit me ? Or will they expect genuine experience in devops line.

Kindly provide your suggestions and help.on this.

I’m 30, should I consider joining S& Middle East as Senior Associate in attempt to make Manager and leave? Is it too exhausting? Will I burn out before I get there? And how long to Manager?

Hi, I was curious if anyone had any jobs or companies that had a position with a mix of consulting/healthcare/pharmaceutical. I currently work in clinical operations and research, and would love to jump or learn into a tech side company with pharmaceutical exposure. Not sure if these are out there but figured I’d see!

I feel like every company lies about “working your way up.” You’re never allowed to blatantly say that you don’t like your position and you’d like to transition to HR or Finance. It’s almost as if once you get in claims, you’re stuck.

If you’re a manager and you see an employee that wants to branch out into a different department, why would you keep them boxed in for 2+ years?

Are there some background mechanics that I’m missing?

Anyone here ever go through a late career change?

For those who exited to industry at director-ish level or 250+ TC. What has been or is expected 5 year career progression? And what’s observed success rate / difficulty of making it to next level?

I’d like to better understand if it’s better to stay in consulting with a well-defined career path or to move to Google/Facebook/Amazon with a good level and having the consciousness of being promoted is really hard.

Did anyone here move to tech from consulting?

I have an offer for $130k for a senior attorney position in a boutique L&E firm. Also have a recruiter who thinks she can get me into another for $150-170k. Both are more than I’ve ever made (Denver, 17 yrs of experience but completely different practice areas). Any tips for countering the $130k offer for more using the other potential offer while not risking a complete withdrawal of the current offer? I’ve never been in a position to bargain my starting salary so this is all very new to me.

Currently studying for the DP-100 exam. Any tips/tricks for studying? I'm currently using the MeasureUp practice test, taking a Udemy course, and looking through the self paced study material.

MeasureUp: a lot of really obscure questions and the documentation references aren't great.

Udemy & Self-Paced Doumentation: very high level and the practice questions are too easy. I could answer most without following the material.

Also, there isn't a lot of overlap between the study materials.
