Hi everyone! I see a lot of people in the group are currently looking for their next position & I do too!

I have 5+ years of experience in client facing leadership roles in a fast paced, fast growing global company. While I am looking to pivot my career, I’d love to connect and take on this challenge with other job seekers. It can be pretty lonely so we can all learn from each other (& why not) make friends!

If you are up for it let me know and I’ll make a WhatsApp group for us to meet 😊

I exited to FAANG from big4 and part of me is seriously thinking about getting an mba to go to mbb. Does that make any sense?

How common are career changes / pivots? Can’t help but feel behind now that I’m considering a change and makes me feel alone. Not sure how to go about making the change (finance to marketing)

Do you plan to be a pharmacist for the duration of your career? Or will you shift towards something else? Do people typically stay in this lane for life? I have 2 YOE but I am wondering.

I’m having the hardest time finding a new job. I have 12 years of HR experience, a masters in HR, SHRM certification, and all I keep getting are rejection emails. I’ve never experienced this difficult of a time searching for new opportunities. Is this normal once you hit a certain level in your career or is it just me?

For those who completed their SHRM certification this year (CP or SCP) and opted for self study, what study materials did you use to prepare?

Currently in risk advisory but would like to get into valuation. Has anyone else done this transition and any tips?

I recently lateraled into Big Law. Most of my colleagues are homegrown. My shift did involve a big change in practice area, and there's work that I haven't done before that I now have to do.

But, sometimes I feel stupid here, even for work which I have done previously. It's like I'm unable to understand instructions the first time around. And I have seen my colleagues getting annoyed by that. It's like I've become dumb. In my defence, I could say they're giving half assed instructions.

I have 20 days of notice period remaining.
Which companies (preferably product) should I try for, where the process can be completed in the remaining duration.
Current offer: 33
YOE : 7
Tech stack: frontend (react)
Average DS/ Algo skills.

TIA

Which is the more lucrative and flexible long term career path when comparing .NET development vs salesforce development.

By flexible I mean in terms of moving between positions, companies and technologies.

I've done both and am currently doing salesforce development but don't want to get pigeonholed.

Hi Fishes, I'm a Python developer now and I need to switch my role related to AI/ML for long term.
