Hi all, seeking your advice on what do you think of applying for jobs while having another project in the pipeline for next month? Honestly that project is not something that resonate with what my career aspirations are.. and while i understand I can definitely learn certain skills, unfortunately that engagement is going to last the rest of the year.. and time and time again I’ve been given projects that are roles like: tech writer, comms and process consultant

My personal motto is to always apply for jobs lol. I’m on a heavy project right now and we just got hit with even more work, and I just submitted my resume for other projects. If I’ve learned literally anything from other people it’s that company loyalty doesn’t matter- always be selfish and choose yourself

Respectfully, it’s unlikely that you’re particularly irreplaceable. This is not to say you might not provide tremendous value, but rather that there world isn’t going to crash and burn if you leave to pursue an opportunity that provides more value for you. If you find a job elsewhere that is better for you, you should pursue it. It’s YOUR career you’re managing first and foremost.

Hey guys. I used to do IB but I just left. I just recently started this new role at a tech company a few weeks ago and I got a message on LinkedIn about another opportunity that I think is a million times better. I spoke to the recruiter a few days ago and she knows I left IB but I didn’t tell her I started a new role. She asked if I have offers on the table and I said I have one offer but never mentioned my new role. What should I do?

My company went toxic in the last couple months. Chose me and started interviewing. Had a very successful interview with Amazon but recruiter is working hard trying to place me and said there’s no knowing how long to find a team. Meanwhile I just received a Director offer for a company with a 29% pay bump July 1. If Amazon or any other FAANG/large co gets back to me, is there an acceptable way to not burn bridges with new job and accept or delay start date with FAANG? Or fuck it just hop?
