Hello,
Can we get promotion after the mid year review in CitiusTech?

Do I try again and give her more space or do I move on? I think she might open up more but just takes time which I didn’t give her

Thoughts about Cloud Support Engineer -Security role

Any AWS folks willing to give a referral? I’m a pre-sales solution architect an an AWS partner in US Central and looking to jump to the other side. DM me!

didn't pass the loop for an L7 role earlier this month, and i found a good suitable l6 role. One of the interviewers added me on linkedin a few weeks back- is it inappropriate if i reach out to him to say thanks and ask him to put in a word for me with hiring manager for the l6 role?
i don't know y i was not selected, and i think its still worth it to reach out. 1 because i think i did well in the interviews and 2 its saves both of us time - to know if i should pursue further or not. Thoughts?
