I just got a really competitive offer from TikTok USDS. With the bill having been passed today, I'm in a bit of a pickle with regards to whether this would be too risky a move. I've been wanting to pivot to tech for a long time and this position seemed perfect to set me up for other big tech positions eventually. Unsure if the risks outweigh the costs though. Thoughts?

Honestly I don’t think this bill is going to be as poignant as it’s being made out to be. At least not anytime soon. I think it’s worth the risk for the experience.

Hi! I’ve been in hospitality & management for over 10 years and desperate for a career pivot. As anyone in restaurants knows, the work is ~80 hours a week and often making less on salary than your own tipped-wage employees.

Does anyone have recommendations on a new career path or job listings to investigate??
