Word of advice. Live like you didn’t get that salary bump, then throw all the extra into your savings.

I dunno. When I was a junior in New York, that first pay bump got me a lot closer to being a normal human. After 80, you can probably just live the same and save though.

Good Morning all,

Since I pivoted into TA (from the Wild West known as Finance) Tech Recruiting has always been the goal. But I’m having a hard time finding a way to get into that space (I do understand there’s a hiring crisis). Nevertheless, does anyone know of tech companies that are hiring? I may be low on the experience side so I’m willing to look at contract/ entry roles as well. Also, any advice will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
