Hi everyone, I started as a strategy analyst 4 months ago and things have been going really well. Just had a recruiter reach out on LinkedIn wanting to place me in a strategy and ops role at a tech company... I am not interested in leaving my firm, but am curious to see my options. How do you guys play it when you get these? Just agree and say you would love to hear more? Would that look bad if it got back to your employer? Not sure what is normal

Your employer would never find out. I would say something along the lines of “I was not actively looking but happy to have a chat”

Just ask them about the position details and range. They can be mindful that you may have referrals for them

Always be interviewing, keeps you sharp and on top of options out there.

That said and assuming this is your first job I’d recommend staying ~2 years regardless. (Unless for some reason you have some opportunity that is truly exceptional- but these types of jobs are common with consulting background).

Hello people, how common is a Amazon to PWC move ?

TC $135k Base PWC -$81$ + Bonuses ( 50k$)

Looking for managerial skills which the PWC role avails, and L6 promo doesn’t seem to be happening soon in current role. I’m also mentally stretched. I hear WLB in PWC is just as busy but can anyone confirm if this move makes any sense. Google Amazon

Need advice & perspectives: I got a verbal review from my manager saying he couldn’t see me as senior cuz I didn’t follow the design doc format he mandates from all designers. While I have been the only designer who does almost everything from design, UI asset creation, wiring up UI in Unity (I am in mobile gaming).
Also the product I’m on has been in MVP stage, things move extremely fast and design decisions changed constantly. He’s not on my team.
Am I crazy for thinking him a bad manager?
