What should be the pay of associate staff engineer at nagarro

I just scrolled through my contacts list on my phone and have no clue who many of the people are. Like “Amanda” who has a Boston area code. Who is she? When did I meet her? Why do I have her number? What is her last name? So many questions that shall go unanswered. Time for a purge.

What’s something you learned about engineering only after you got your first job in the industry?

What places are hiring entry level positions in LA, DC & NY

Anyone want to talk about what they are expecting as a baseline % bump at the end of the year? I’ll go first, 20% minimum before considering performance which was a mix of exceptional / very exceptional; lol! I have good anecdotal evidence that the market easily supports this.

Q&A Thread: Being a Virtual Assistant comes with a plethora of questions. Post them here.

Gibson Dunn Denver anyone?

Went to a networking cocktails last night with LPs. For some odd reason there were quite a few young attractive women mixing it up, but who couldn’t explain what they did or where they worked.
Turns out the organizer hired models to do the rounds because otherwise “there would be too many dudes”. Maybe I’m getting old but I felt more, not less awkward and uncomfortable 🤦‍♂️

Would one of you be willing to answer a questionnaire for me for my master's class? It would need to be done today, if possible. Last minute the person wasn't able to fill out for me.

Happy Halloween! Who says Financial Professionals are not creative? Share what you dressed up as for work today?

Anyone lateral joinee in Deloitte India (not USI) in Bangalore in July? Pls suggest some REALLY good women PGs near that location, or anyone joining soon, let me know and we can look for the same.

How much are Senior Associates/Principals making at small PE shops?

Looking for some UGC gigs. I can do unboxing and demos. Rates start at $100 for a video, and $20 per photo. which is significantly lower than others in the market. Just trying to get more content creation under my belt. I specialize in social media as a director in a marketing agency, so I know what will perform. Give me a holler if you need UGC for your brands! :)

Best companies/startups local to San Diego/LA for exiting consulting?

I worked FT as a paralegal and went to law school in the evening. I recently interviewed at a small ID firm in employment law with about 9 attorneys. They asked for a writing sample. I dont have anything recent but provided what I had from last yr in a legal writing class, it was not enough for them. I became licensed this May so I dont have an array of motions to pick from. Then they asked for my undergrad transcript, at this point, I am now annoyed They are not Biglaw. Are they going overboard

In all seriousness, how insane may it be to invest in Venezuela now? Would only consider if I partnered with a local/native and would obviously have to wait around a decade for any return.

Moving- Will be flying in with a lot of suitcases, will be going on several grocery and furniture errands my first days. What is the best transportation solution? Avis is ~$500 for 3 days 😵‍💫

When will they release a list for FY22 Progressions?

I am thinking about doing voiceover. Should I contact an agency, should I record a demo first?

Looking for some thoughts on the pros/cons of contract work/temp-to-perm roles VS full time direct hire? I’ve been an EA for 30 years and have always been direct hire. I am now on the market and being approached by a lot of contract opportunities with seemingly good rates. Aside from the obvious lack of health insurance, are there other downfalls to contract work? Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts.

Does anyone want to switch jobs with me? I’ll trade you my safe/ cushy gov’t job for a high stress/high pay consulting job? Lol

Develop yourself beyond your present state. You will gradually outgrow your present position. Suddenly you will see yourself stepping into your next big thing.

Anyone work remote as an Industrial Engineer? Looking to make the switch over the next 12 months. Been working in manufacturing for 5 years.

Working in management with 4 weeks vacation per year and paid holidays. Thinking about looking for something remote/hybrid but I don’t want to go below 3 weeks PTO. What are best companies/best benefits available you know of?

Just about to get an offer from AWS was recruited/interviewed for L7 non-tech. (Finance). Preparing for negotiation and bracing if they attempt to down level the role. What comp should I be targeting for L7 or L6? YOE - 19 yrs (Big4). Haas grad. Location: San Francisco.
TIA

Hey all, new to this bowl. Currently a Tech Recruiter and eventually want to make the transition into a HRBP or HR Generalist role. Would love to hear from anyone who started in recruiting then transitioned into another area of HR. Have been thinking of either working on PHR certification or MBA with focus in HR mgt. Thanks!

I’m a former publicist from the fashion & lifestyle space looking to make a transition into brand strategy, project management or account management for a creative agency in New York. Does anyone have any details on how to land a strategist job specifically as entry level positions in that area seem nonexistent?

Transition to Consulting? Going to have 2-3 competing jobs offers that I need to make a decision by the end of the week on.

I am 3 years out of school with a Bch of ChemEng. I have found myself in the Clinical Trial Supply space as a Systems Analyst.

I can either stay in Big Pharma (probably for most $, suburbs) and expand past just Systems expertise or go into Life Science Consulting (get to work in NYC) and broaden my LS base.

If I don’t do consulting now will it hurt me in the future?

Hi! I am interested in getting into clinical research or regulatory affairs. I have a life sciences bachelors degree and 1 YOE in biopharma R&D. I’ve had years of experience in other industries since then but trying to pivot back into life sciences/healthcare. Would appreciate any help!

I was on contract with Amazon and in the process of converting to an FTE before it got halted due to them putting a pause in hiring/converting.

I have a lot of experience in coordinating in many aspects and internal/external customer service. I need another job but don’t want to stay in the RC space but don’t want to go into customer service either (it truly makes me miserable).

Does anyone have any job title suggestions I can look into for my job search so I can pivot out of being an RC?

I was recently laid off. I am an Underwriter in the mortgage industry. There are thousands of us that are unemployed right now. I am hearing that other industries won’t entertain former mortgage underwriters. I am not certain why. Insurance companies have posted jobs with the statement “no mortgage underwriters”. I only have 2 year experience so I feel like I am at the bottom of the totem pole compared to my competitors. Looking to maybe change industries. Does anyone have any advice?

Just want to share!

My client called and happily announced that my project is completed and well executed.

It is easy to manage time-consuming tasks and allows you to focus on more of the big picture stuff, especially if you have a reliable and committed Virtual Assistant.

So if you need someone that will help you to reduce the overwhelm for your Business, just direct message me or any referrals will do is highly appreciated.

Speak with you soon!

Is it appropriate to reach out to a CEO met (had a discussion with and added on LinkedIn with a positive response) on a flight for job opportunities?

I have an undergrad in petroleum engineering and looking at masters programs now. I don’t think I was to do it in engineering, any suggestions? I have project management experience, good at optimizing and executing and delivering results. I don’t enjoy coding… 😂
