Hi y’all! My background is mostly in international and nonprofit sectors, but now I’m looking to pivot to tech (program or project management positions). Any tips on where to start? Recommendations for certificates/online course I should take to increase my chances to land a job in tech? Thank you!

Lots of product manager / product management posts via search function 😌

I moved from nonprofit to fintech. You might be able to find a niche tech company where your nonprofit experience is also useful (CRMs, AMSs for example). Good luck

Hello People,

I received a verbal offer letter from

BUT, Yesterday I received a call from the hiring manager that Oracle is putting hiring freeze, so they are not able to release offer letter as 1 approval was still pending from the VP. He said I will be contacted once freeze is over. Do you think I still have any chances of getting in once the freeze is lifted and how long the freezes are in Oracle ? Oracle

JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?
