In all seriousness, take your time onboarding. Do not stress yourself out. No one expects anything of you for several months.
As a PgM, take the time to set up 1/1s with your team, and recurring ones with your leads cross functionally.

Welcome!

@OP can I contact you about the interview process? Thanks

like

Sure please do!

Curious, how long did the process take for you ?

Get any certifications in the first month. You will basically be left alone that month (minus weekly calls with your team mates).

It will take 6 months for you to get moderately comfortable with the work

12 until you think you really got it

And 16-18 until you start acting like a veteran

What’s the best way to turn down a 2nd interview? During the 1st interview, I learned that the compensation for the role is not within the range that I am looking for and requires 400 more billable hours a year than what I bill now. I’d basically be laterally for my current salary just to bill 400 more hours. I also wasn’t aware that the local office was strictly ID. Firm website advertises lots of practice areas. Any advice? TIA!

Wonder if anyone can offer advice on which cert to pursue next? I obtained my CompTIA Security+ last year and wondering if I should go for the CySA+ or Pentest+ next.

I was hoping one of these next certs will help me finally break into a security role and love the idea of pentesting but not sure if the CySA+ is more beneficial.

Hi fishes,
I'm 22 and planning to take a life insurance. I'm comparing all policies and max life seems attractive as it has good claim settlement ratio and less premiums. But there is no office near our area. My worry is that if there is a need to claim in future, it can be done all online by my nominee? Is it recommended to take policy online in any platform(like policybazaar)?
Other options I'm considering are SBI life, HDFC life which offices are available in my locality.

L4->L5 is less challenging; however, I’m under the impression I can do this quicker at another company (if I leave after being freshly promo’d) AND get higher TC.
