How do you feel about Networking Events? I have been to quite a few in the past couple years but nothing has ever materialized in a positive direction. I am not sure if I am doing something wrong or most of these networking events are just company marketing opportunities.

I didn't know those things still existed. But yeah they always seemed like marketing opportunities, a place for people to hand out business cards. I never heard of anyone getting a job from one of them.

I love them. I’ve grown my network and been able to capitalize every time whether it’s reacquainting with former colleagues or meeting new ones. I always look for an opportunity to network because you never know when you will need a lead…

I got a call from the Google recruiter about my L7 em interview Google She said I did overwhelmingly good on all interviews except one had mixed feedback on a system design. No surprise because it was not a good interview. The recruiter said i had a choice to go to hiring committee, give referrals they could call about my system design or take another system design interview. I’m not confident about the system design because of the bad experience I had with the previous interviewer. What should I do?

Hello, what is the going salary for a chief of staff in technology?

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?
