Well look, you can be a really good engineer and a terrible manager even if you worked 10 year in the industry.

Why do you want to be a manager?

Yes. It’s a natural progression.

Searching for a mentor who has more experience than I do.

I’ve been doing comms work for about three years - five if you count my social media role in undergrad - and I’m at a pivotal point in my career. I’m looking to grow into a senior level role as a specialist and just added PR to my duties this year.

Ideally my mentor would identify with any of the following: person of color, a woman, someone in the LGBTQIA+ space, immigrant, first generation.

Open to other industries, too!

I may have an opportunity to move from D to a large e-commerce company. I do SC, I love SC, I dont want to stray too far from SC. However, this leadership role is focused more on setting comp strategy for its 10-15k employee SC workforce. Its not an HR position, at least organizationally (it sits under COO). Comp would be a nice bump.

Is doing comp strategy for the supply chain workforce going to pigeonhole me such that i wont be able to do "true" SC work in the future?

What would you do?

Hi can anyone help me with a referral for the Job Id-84410 at Goldman Sachs ?

If your salary expectation falls outside the range that HR may have shared in the initial round, do you continue interviewing with the hope that they may make an exception if they really like you and offer you more ?
PS- this is when HR does not know what you make or expect.

To the Europeans that claimed that America is a laughing stock earlier - Europe's energy dependency rate has risen to 58% (as of 2018), mostly dependent on fossil fuels from Russia. The US now exports more energy than imports (as of 2019).

The US and Canada are now uniquely positioned in the world to aggressively expand renewables without sacrificing energy independence. Probably won't have to manufacture renewables in parts of the world that rely heavily on energy sources like coal too.
