Same OP. Following

Get some side work like marketing, event coordination, do trainings and certifications, proposal work...

I was told to do certs and pre-sales, as certs will make me attractive to other roles and pre-sales is recoverable. Best of luck! :)

Looking for advice on this conversation. First negotiation attempt ever! I’ve been in my role for 1 year. Promoted in from corporate recruiting, 5 years of experience there. No degree, just hard work and dedication.
1) A raise. Currently at $65K, which is about $10K lower than the bottom of the salary range.
2) Title change. My title is Global Total Rewards Project Manager. I design and manage our TR strategy for 17 different countries, and I feel like my title is a little misleading.
Thanks!

Who in the agency would you say has the ultimate responsibility to come up with the agency’s pricing & services model? Biz Dev? Finance? Ops? Project Management? Other? (Context: we have an ongoing issue where a biz dev / accounts person will eagerly be coming up with half-baked solutions for a prospective client, and it always feels like a cluster F when they want to know what resources, budget, and time we need in order to execute said service - which they thought of in the first place!)

Been 3 months since I joined Luxoft and I am assigned to a backward DXC project. The lead is oppressive and bossy. There is no work-life balance and 9:30 hours of work is not enough for them.

All, this is my first post and I just want to share that I passed the first Amazon interview for Technical Program Manager and am heading to on-site virtual interviews! I have 20 years of corporate tech in a traditional F500 company (top 50). The only thing I can say that I like about my current job is the work-life balance and some of the people. But the work itself is soul crushing and the industry is stagnant. To those who are 40+ years old, is it crazy to change now?

likehelpful

Why it is so much difficult to switch for heigher experience people. I m having 11 yoe.
As per experience, in current organization working as a lead. Have experience in many of the Java technologies. But when I told I worked it 7 years back every thing vanished and like I'm fresher. They don't even bother to ask questions.

They want web services development, hibernate, react, angular, node. We can't work everything at a time right?
