Hi everyone, I'm an IT professional returning to work after a career break of 2 years. I've worked as Software Engineer in iOS development for 4.5 years.

If anyone is hiring for women returning to work in IT, please DM me(https://www.linkedin.com/in/kamakshi-shinde-751603169 ) or comment here.

I've worked on a quality and high volume iOS app "Google Nest". I've resolved major bugs in the app and have also worked on new features to update the app. I've led a camera related feature and have experience to manage two developers.

Thanks.

How do you approach a firm recruiting you when you weren't looking to move? It would be similar work, but I could negotiate a significant salary boost which would help my family reach financial goals faster. I like everything about my firm, but the pay is on the low side. I've never interviewed when I wasn't eager to leave my current job, and I'm uncertain how to discuss that with the recruiter & interviewer. I want to leverage it, but don't want to sound greedy.

What are you reading currently, that's related to Product Management. Any book or article? I'm currently reading Measure What Matters.

I firmly believe leadership makes the difference.

Not only, it highlins each one's value, but especially spreads this value among others.
I'm speaking about life, in a broad sense, which also include work life, but it is not limited to that.

Looking for any kind of suggestion to improve my leadership: books, experiences, attitudes, daily-routine, ...

Thank you!

First year associate thinking about making the just from medium sized reputable IP firm to In House.

Love the patent/IP space but drafting and pros w/minimal human interaction is getting very difficult. Thinking In House would be better, but not sure how much experience needed. Thoughts?
