I'm closing in on three years without my usual job as a front end developer looking to go full stack. I tried to add AWS to my stack and hopefully DevOps and have nearly 17 years as a web developer. I had to rent my place out because of the lack.

I know what my holes are, but thanks to gap jobs, I feel as if my excuses are running thin on interviews and phone screens.

I can't decide on either to just pivot or stay and try volunteering since upwork is crap. Ideas?

Honestly, I would pivot or at least start applying to roles that would be a pivot. The more you do at this point and the more things you consider doing the better your chances are.

I just got an offer from a company that I have mixed feelings about. Team seems great but Glassdoor reviews, not so much.

I don’t want to fall between two chairs for not taking this offer and then not getting any from other companies. What should I do? Best strategy?

I'm a first yr attorney at an insurance firm and am in the process of interviewing for an in-house position at a tech company.

How common is it to eventually make $400k+ in-house/how difficult is it to transition back to a firm? Thanks!

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?
