I have been out of the job market since transitioning from one master's program(MPP) in DC to another back home here in LA(MPA), to take care of my sick father. I have applied to dozens of local and federal and including consulting firms. I have got some PMP experience which I am looking to build on further. But does anyone have any suggestions on how to get recruiters and hiring managers to look at you before reaching out to them. This process has been exhausting.

Good luck, sorry to hear the east to west coast transition has been tough. That's why I left for DC/NYC and felt I could never get back. I'm sure you'll find something soon; my sense is government positions on the west coast are even more nepotistic/provincial and they want you to have local connections. Keep applying everywhere and be open to a very wide array of opportunities at contracting firms and private sector. Once you've got something you can start building from there.

You might try requesting some informational interviews at places you’re interested in. Find people with connections on LinkedIn. This can help get you in the referral process.

Can someone explain the difference between FB’s Partner Solutions Manager and the Strategic Partner Manager? From an initial recruiter call, it seems the SPM provides the consultative product recs while the PSM onboards the client onto that product and tracks performance to provide actionable recs as needed. Anyone know career growth and salary for these two? I don’t want a sales heavy/only lateral growth role like their client solutions manager roles so these seem like good compromises?

Took my little dude to Target so he could buy a Xmas gift for his sibling. While browsing, he lost his $42 he’d been saving up. Same kid found a wallet packed with cash and credit cards at Disney a couple months back, and gave the wallet to the Disney employees —cuz it was the right thing to do. Today he learned that not everyone shares the same values and not to keep cash in a ziploc😞

Hi everyone.
Just reached final on-site round for a Senior Manager position in the logistics department. Role is for Amazon UK. Recruiter is asking me now for my expected compensation (base salary + total comp) via email. Any idea what to aim for?

I don’t know the level but was aiming £80k base, +15% bonus. If I don’t fall under their budget, would I automatically be removed from candidates?
Any tips are appreciated!
