I have a close friend who graduated with a 2.5 GPA from a no name brand school.. he’s looking for entry level Business Analyst, Financial Analyst, PM or business related rotation programs and having a real hard time. He had a major life event during college that impacted his GPA. I don’t believe GPA correlates much with being a great employee especially since most of the learning is on the job.

Is he kind of screwed because of his GPA? 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

Any advice or success stories would be appreciated!

Hey there! First post here 😊

I've done a lot of self-work this year re: where I've been most successful and fulfilled over my last ten years.. I'm 32 and have been in sales, sales leadership, and business leadership (I've been a ceo and am currently head of sales at a start up).

All that said, I'm looking for some words of wisdom on how to pivot to sales ops, Rev ops, or GTM strategy. The latter probably being my preference.

References, wisdom, and general advice appreciated!!

I currently work at a medium sized firm and have about two years experience in personal injury litigation. The billable hours and lack of work life balance are really getting to me and I am looking to switch to something else out of litigation, preferably in house. I am also looking to relocate to a different state. How do I go about properly marketing myself to companies that might not take my relocation and minimal experience seriously?

Anyone struggling with imposter syndrome? When I worked for a very well known Fortune500 tech company I couldn't help but feel major imposter syndrome. One- I am a woman in a male dominated industry, I didn't go to a prestigious school like most of my peers and I just didn't think I deserved to be there. Everyday was a struggle and tried to keep myself small so no one would find out I was a "fraud." Looking back on it now, wiser and more experienced, I realized how detrimental feeling that way

I am actively looking to transition into a tech company. I’ve worked in campus recruitment for 2 years at a construction company. I am open to any advice.

I’d prefer a remote position. I am willing to take on training or classes to become a better recruiter.

Do you have any advice for a career in a bank?(Position in IT)

So I recently accepted a 12 month contract-hire position at a much larger company. Pay is more than 50% of my salary, and benefits/401k is covered by the recruiting agency. I was confident in my now manager, who told me directly this will become a permanent role. However, i’m nervous about where the economy is going to be within the next year, and after getting a few linked in messages to interview for full time positions, I’m starting to second guess myself. Thoughts? Advice?
