I don’t have the support I need in my role, but I love my GC! I’ve been with the company a little less than a year and we are not going to receive approval for more heads. How long should I stay? I was really looking to stay here a long time but I know it wouldn’t be beneficial to my growth or career.

Hello Fishes,

So far I received offers from PwC India, Capgemini and Lexmark for Data Engineering.

More are in pipeline from KPMG GS, TechM, Accenture.

But one peculiar thing is happening. I have appeared for 4 Cognizant interviews but in all I have been rejected. Whereas most of my friends had easily cleared Cognizant. I am switching tech, so I am a bit concerned like whether my knowledge is too shallow😐

Is it sign of an Imposter Syndrome 🥺

Pls help🙏🏾

Just started a PM job and 7 weeks into the role my manager is surprised I had not designed a roadmap. Is this bad?

Anyone else still at work? Because I am.

And some people wonder why I started this bowl.

My partner and dog are sitting at home waiting for me.

Sigh.

Does anyone happen to know the PwC discount codes for Hilton and Marriott hotels...asking for a friend

If i haven’t signed anything with my firm regarding repaying them for receiving my series 7 license with them I’m assuming i owe nothing if i leave? Is there a way to find out without my manager knowing I’m looking at other firms?

Currently working at Perforce Software in Minneapolis as a writer making 70k. Was offered a job to be a writer at Amazon Alexa for 95k plus 11k sign on and shares.

Here’s the catch: the job was listed as fully remote but now they’re asking if I’d want to move out on the West Coast…not a requirement but they really sound like that’s their ideal.

My husband will be relocating to NYC for his job which is where I want to go…working West Coast hours in NYC sounds kind of awful. BUT I really don’t

It seems like we’ve had many people join from firms today. In the in-house bowl we had a lot of people speaking about F50 who don’t actually work there and the info/advice was often not accurate. If you’re not at an F50 feel free to ask questions but please refrain from commenting on things you don’t have first hand knowledge of so we can avoid the misinformation issues and make this bowl helpful for all

Any tips for how to stand out when submitting resumes online to an F50? I have started sending my resume to in-house jobs and it’s hard to even get a response from most listings. I have tried being targeted (e.g., applying to in-house M&A roles and not just any in-house role) and adjusting my resume for particular listings (e.g., highlighting experiences of interest to the company). For a number of places, I have indicated that I am looking for a remote position, which is maybe a negative.

Can anyone provide insight into Meta Lead Counsel/IC5 total comp? I have an offer (DC) for 210 base/15% bonus/185 equity over four years, and I’m wondering what others have received, how much I can negotiate, etc. I understand base and bonus may not be negotiable, but I’ve heard that technical folks have negotiated equity packages 3-4x the amount I was offered - so is there a lot of room there? Thanks in advance!

Where does everyone work? I’m at McKesson

I’ve been negotiating for over 2 weeks now and the whole thing is starting to turn me off. Should I chalk it up to HR bureaucracy or larger company issues?

Think we’ll see salary adjustments across the board based on Amazon?

Best product legal teams at Google in your opinion (e.g. Ads, Google Play, Chrome, Cloud, etc.)? While I’m assuming it’s all team-dependent, any general, across-the-board ranking based on WLB, culture, morale, most impact, and most coveted?

How did you find your job? LinkedIn? Employee referral?

I do not have a single recognizable company or law firm or school on my resume. I’m from a boutique IP firm and now starting in house at an unknown 3,000 employee company. My dream is to end up as product counsel at F50. Is it possible or is my lack of business pedigree going to hold me back?
