I’m coming from a SaaS SDR role, hoping to transition into a product marketing position. I don't think the constant stress of being an SDR is for my temperament. I don't know if I'm overthinking, but does this look like a step backward on my resume?

I wouldn’t worry too much about it the resume story. You can always explain. Life goes on

There must be some transferable skills or past exposure to marketing that make you prefer this career path, apart from it being less stressful. You could try framing it in a more positive way. For example: I’ve noticed I’m really good at X in marketing, and I want to build on that strength.

You’re not overthinking. From a recruiter view, that move can make a lot of sense and it’s not a step backward if framed well. Moving from SDR to product marketing is about shifting skills, not escaping pressure. Be clear about what you’re moving toward, not what you’re running from, and connect your sales insight to how it helps marketing win.

Hi fishes , just to know how much YOE and CTC you are getting as an embedded engineer and what skills you have aquired by this time.

Hey fishes, can someone tell me how the 80c bracket works, i know i can get exempt upto 1.5lakh under it, what i wanna know is does PF comes under it or not? For example if my yearly pf deduction is 20k and VPF is 10k so now will i still be able to show investment of 1.5lakh under 80c apart from PF and VPF or i'll be able to get exemption on only 1.2 lakh( 1.5lakh-30k= 1.2lakh)?

Thank you in advance!!

I have a friend who was let go a few months into his first job after college (reason: the manager felt like he wasn't grasping the training content to the level that was expected). He's worried about if he should put the experience on his resume anyway, if he does will recruiters ask why he had such a short time at this place, and what will recruiters think if he explains he was let go. What are some things recruiters expect from candidates in this situation to continue considering them?
