Hello! I’m on the hunt for a new role. I’m not confident in my role right now and need to find something before the inevitable. How are you deciding which roles are active and which are passive?

I go by how detailed and current the listing feels and if it’s vague or reposted constantly, it’s likely passive. But if it has specifics, clear responsibilities, and recent updates, that’s a good sign it’s active. I also look at company hiring trends and whether the role’s been shared by a real team member. Keeps me from wasting time on ghost listings.

Do you mind explaining what you mean by active and passive? Like which jobs are actually hiring and which ones are "ghost jobs"?

Yes precisely.

Not sure what you mean.

Never been in an SE or consulting or B2B sales role before but have a referral at Salesforce and have been in some informal conversations. I’m starting to freak out a bit now that maybe I can’t do it. I have a tech background so can handle that part, but perhaps strategy may be difficult. Anyone make the transition to an SE role that have some advice?

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…

I am possibly going into a cyber security role where I would be leading internal and external content. Thing is, my career has mainly been in fashion which I am trying to move away from, to get into the tech space. This is a great opportunity that will definitely teach me a lot and help get me further into tech. Problem: I’m scared. I’m scared I won’t enjoy it, scared I’ll be bored!!!, scared I’ll fail, scared I’d be making a mistake. Any advice? Has anyone pivoted like this? I want to be open.
