How do you position wanting to move from a strong bank to do the same job at a different strong bank in an interview? Hard to do without discounting the franchise- how is that viewed by interviewers?

As someone who lateraled from a MM to a BB, I told them (truthfully) that I had run out runway at my current firm and was looking to grow with a more comprehensive platform. It was very well received and didn't malign my employee at the time. Taking action to broaden your knowledge base shows also shows initiative, which is an easy way to demonstrably illustrate a strength indirectly.

Giving a firm a blowy about how good they are is not going to be viewed as you trashing your current firm. Just curious - why are you actually looking to move? That might also be a good reason to discuss...

Never say you are unhappy with current firm. Unhappy people generally stay unhappy. Say you are looking to grow.

I saw someone else do this, so imma give it a shot. Lately, I’ve been applying to iOS developer roles and I’m getting TONs of calls and callbacks from HR and recruiting managers, but then when my resume gets pushed to hiring managers they seem to often get peeved at how little years of experience I have with the title “iOS developer”…
which is fair, and to show my credibility I published my first app last week, but I’m still getting similar messages from recruiters this week. Idk what to do??

What are your thoughts on the Scrum Master role? I’ve worked with a few now and out of 5 of them, only 1 seemed to be of any help. Most of the time we have to explain every detail multiple times and they still don’t understand what we’re doing. I feel that the role should be reserved for employees with experience in the systems they work in.

I’ve got about 20 years cross channel experience in marketing, split between big brands and startups, and I’m considering pivoting into a data science/data analyst role. I know it will initially be a step back in comp but is it at all realistic for a person with certificate level experience in data analysis but a decent marketing management background to expect $150-200k comp or is that mostly for degreed candidates (or not realistic at all)? Any guidance here is greatly appreciated.
