Got an offer for a sales applications manager role at Cisco and a Strategic AE role at Amazon - both are basically the same pay (130~ base, 220 OTE)
I don’t have any friends at either company so I was curious if anyone has experience and can shed some light on culture/ work life balance to help me make a decision? Thanks for the help guys!

Now this may be bold - could you ask your boss to try? Say you’re trying to test and see from a succession management or attrition risk standpoint point if the recruiter seat shows internal folks with the banner on?
I’ve always avoided it since I was wasn’t sure.
I suppose you may need a more tailored reason BUT this would definitively let you know the answer. Good luck, you got this!
Have you tried posting in the job referral and job openings boards? You might be able to gather some leads in there. Best of luck to you.
I haven’t. Are there any specific ones you recommend? I’m based out of NYC/ LI/ Queens
Hi there - I believe that your manager is still able to review that you are open to work. I also have LinkedIn recruiter and can see internals that are open to work from my company. Keep in mind he would have to intentionally look you up or source for someone with your background to see you. Hope this helps!
Thank you
I can confirm that they would be able to see. Especially if they ever used LinkedIn recruiter functions during your original hire process (ex. They put your profile in a project to track progress and outreach for a role). I have a recruiter seat and I got a notification when someone I had hired 2 years prior listed themselves as open to work.

I would assume there is still a small risk. I would be cautious and maybe turn it on briefly or rely on direct outreach instead.
They are able to see your Open to Work status. LinkedIn is not able to keep it anonymous from a Recruiter Seat. Only on the regular profile are they unable to see.
Thank you
Yes, he will be able to see that you are open to work. If he is a professional, he will not say anything.
I have always been supportive of other team members who feel they need to move on. You may hate to see them go, but supporting team members who want to better themselves is important. Off-boarding is just as important for a company’s image and culture than onboarding.
How to submit my application
Hi, I am currently working in Qatar as an HR Administrative Officer in the oil and gas sector on the North Field South (NFS) project at Gulf Asia Engineering Projects. Our clients include Ten.CCC and QatarEnergy. I have nearly 2 years of experience in Qatar, along with 2 years of prior experience in India.
Yes, quite probably he would do, because you will have your company name on your profile there may be an algorithm that brings your profile up.
I would just suggest that you type in the word recruiter or something similar, and search for recruiters in LinkedIn instead! Find them, instead of letting them find you, and keep your privacy.
I'm the type that I will let you know my reasons and that I will be exploring options. Either the issues work out or everything is transparent beforehand.
Yes your HR Manager will see your open to work banner.
I would not do it. If a recruiter is looking for your skills and experience they will contact you if they are good.. Your manager could be tempted to start looking for a replacement. Anyone could mention to him that you are looking and even a outside recruiter who's looking to fill your role .
Remove them easy fix
I know everyone has helped answer you question, but wanted to provide a helpful alternative coming from a recruiter. Since you are unable to show yourself as "Open to Work", one thing you can try is inputting your achievements under each of your work experiences on LinkedIn. Recruiters search via keywords, not always just job titles or "Open to Work", so this can help you show up in their searches even if you can't list your status.
Agree with others - stay away if you are not ready for him to see it.
