Hello ,

I really need help with getting a job in New York. I have been unemployed for sometime now and I have a lot of experience in IT support roles. I currently have a a bachelor’s degree in computer science and a master’s degree in cybersecurity. Also currently studying to write my Comptia Security plus and a job right now will really help me. Would really appreciate any opportunity offered.

Thanks

I have several friends that have been looking for new roles since last summer and they haven't been able to find anything either. If I were you I would try networking and getting referrals. Sometimes that can help you get your foot in the door somewhere.

Hi everyone. I have a final round pm interview coming up. I'm supposed to make a presentation and present it based on a scenario they gave me.

The scenario is a product strategy task and I need to showcase what I would do in this scenario.

I’m up for a promotion at work and I have no idea how much to ask for since it’s not a standard position. Currently I’m a team lead and manage about 8 technicians, my promotion will be to a regional service delivery manager, and I will be managing over 30 in 3 locations. I went from a tier 1 engineer in managed servers to team lead with about a 10k increase in salary.I’m thinking about a 15k increase this time from 65k to 80k.

So I have been made an offer by a company I like but it’s pretty similar to my current package (I also like where I am). The recruiter is pretty intense and is pitting me against another candidate but says I’m the number one choice and is asking me for a number to say yes “but not too high or the team will look at the other candidate”
I’m close to send them to get stuffed. I’m also awaiting a promo and interview feedback from Google. Any advice?

I don't like my job, the responsibilities and tasks aren't right for me or my lifestyle.

Key positives for my current employer are pay and security. But my new role within the company isn't working for me, and ultimately I don't think it is for the company either.

A much much smaller (20 people) company offered me a role.

With the global economic situation as is, is it worth the risk to change to a job I know i'd like more with less pay, and potentially less job security?
