How to find a career while in a pivot year?

What careers are you interested in?

What are your skills and what are you interested in?

I'd start with finding any type of online community you can in the field you want to pivot into. My wife recently pivoted from teaching elementary school for 11 years to a corporate trainer role. She took an online course that helped and it came with a baked-in community on Facebook where she could ask questions, get advice, etc. That's where I'd start.

I am an office coordinator at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and want to break into the field of research. MSK has research coordinator roles, however when I initially applied after graduating, I didn’t get any interviews. I have minimal experience with research from undergrad. I’m not sure if it is possible to switch roles within MSK. I also want to go back to school for an MPH. Anyone have any experience with this or any tips?

Hi everyone. I really want my confusion to get cleared. I am actually in dire need for a job. I have even managed to bag one. But unfortunately, it is not in the domain that really interests me.
I'm currently working into taxation but not satisfied with my pay. So wanted to switch. But got a role into accounts in a listed company.
I want to understand from all the CA folks here that, will it be difficult for me to switch my role from accounting/auditing to taxation in future? Pls suggest.

Feeling very lost abt my career. I have been working for almost 5 years, but some people who are younger than me by 1-2 years have higher position than me. I wasn't promoted last yr but I've reached a point where I'm fine with my salary. It feels bad when these younger people are giving me instructions to work. I felt that sometimes they are bossing around, and maybe it's because I'm too slow. I don't know if I'm a good fit for consulting. I like the job, but I feel it's too fast paced. Advice?

How much is too much to ask for when negotiating an internal raise?

I'm a senior software engineer with 10 years of experience. I've been with my current company for 5 years. I started at 100k and now I'm only at 116k, which means they haven't even kept me up with inflation.

I'm happy and don't *want* to leave to have to get my worth. I want to ask for 150k (I've been seeing recruiters emails for 160-200), but I feel like that's going to sound outrageous to them.
