What do you like about working in tech ?
I've been trying to update my resume with my last 5 years of experience and I'm completely overwhelmed. At this point I just need to hire a resume writer. I need someone who can talk to me about my experience and actually write the resume, not just edit an existing resume. Does anyone have a recommendation? Is ResumeSpice worth the money?
Need hearts for chat..please help.. thanks

Print out precedents, client lists/conflicts, and contacts now. They will monitor what you download.
Start looking! Or think about what you plan to do on your break.
You are highly skilled and highly employable. You're going to be fine!

Why what happened? Ask about severance and website time I would think, and probably just don’t agree to sign anything so you can think about it and decide if you want to negotiate .

Might as well collect the info you will need for conflicts checks now, even if you expect a long off ramp. Never know.
Ask for 1 month more severance and 2 months more website time beyond what they offer. Ask if they want you to wrap/turnover any of your current projects immediately. Confirm what potential employers will be told if they call the firm. Ask if you are still required to maintain the in-office requirement.
Don’t agree to anything in the meeting if possible - ask for the weekend to consider your exit plan. Even if it’s expected, it will still feel like a shock so give yourself time to regroup before committing to a plan.
Try to ask for more severance. Make something up about just having bought a new house or you/partner just got pregnant something. There tends to be some discretion there.
