I’m curious what this role looks like to others. What are your daily responsibilities as a CD?
What do you enjoy most and least about your role?

I've been the first hire in a deep tech startup that is now post series A with a strong outlook. My background is a mix of business and ML and I gravitated to product since I find it easy to understand and explain complex topics.

I've been for along time a jack of all trades, which I like because I enjoy the 0->1 but I don't how I could translate this to a future role since I'm not a pure PM or PMM. Anyone has any similar experience? How do you make yourself marketable from such a role?

Is it weird to work at a place where you were laid off due to corona? If they’re hiring, is it weird to reach out? Left on good terms.

I recently completed two rounds of Interview,
01 with the hiring managers (Senior Vice President & Vice President) and second was with the Director, the second round happened approx. 2 weeks back, currently my job application status shows as "Business Review" can someone shed a light on what this means and how long does it take for Citi to get back with an answer i.e. am i selected or rejected.

For those applying this fall, how are you staying motivated at work? I’ve been putting in less effort at work as I ramp up GMAT studying and networking and I’m feeling a bit guilty. It’s been especially hard since getting promoted to the post mba role. Does anyone have any advice?

I’m in my 5th year of school counseling at the high school level. I am looking to transition into program management, product management, or a customer success manager role. I know many of my skills and day to day tasks can be transitioned into those role, but I do not have any tech or corporate experience. What is the best way to get in the door? **I have friends who can refer me to their companies**

Career progression for PM roles in Tech?

I’m on track to be qualified for a Program Manager, Talent/HR/OD position at a tech firm in the next couple years. I understand the pay is solid ($130k+ salary depending on exp. and location) but I’m curious about career progression.

Does anyone have experience as a Program Manager, Talent/HR/OD at a competitive tech firm, and with exit opps afterwards? Are we talking Sr Mgr, Director, or VP level positions in industry?

If there are certain openings in data science, please comment.
Thanks in advance.

Hey guys/gals. Hoping to get some guidance on here. I’m considering making a pivot into industry (Big Pharma specifically) towards the end of next year (right after I’m up for promotion to Manager). Ideally exiting into industry in the marketing function. The problem is I’m not sure what marketing role my background best prepares me for. More on my background below…

Deloitte ARA People - I don’t think it’s any secret that CMAAS and FAAS both have a much bigger presence than ARA. I have only seen you in the wild one time.

Has something changed recently that would indicate this will change? Is Deloitte more committed to the practice now? I can’t imagine if I asked this 3 years ago that Deloitte would have said “Nope we don’t care about ARA.”

Hello!

I recently joined a company. It is my first job and it been 3 months since i joined and i feel too pressured, no motivation to work and I want to quit.

Can y’all please help me with it?

Hi All, My joining date is older in offer letter. I did not get updated letter with new date. Just some screenshot from recruiter in some drop down. When will we get virtual onboarding link. How do they know whether we joined or not.

I love my job, but I am looking for remote paralegal opportunities. I have over 10 years of experience, both in litigation and currently as a senior corporate paralegal. Is your (remote) employer hiring? Any other suggestions or leads?
Thanks in advance!

I can’t be the only one having these thoughts. So here goes. I’m reasonably attractive, not boring and have many interests. Spend time giving back to community and have really great friends. Last couple of years, I have concluded I probably won’t have a loving relationship - likely will be single the rest of my life. Most days I am comfortable with that outlook; but some I feel v lonely or like I have “failed” in an aspect of my life. Zero sex life for 3ish years. Anyone else?

What to do if you aren't that creative, but don't know how to do anything else?

Show of hands for those who worked on the super bowl pitch for FTX only to see them become insolvent in the past few days when they knew they were done for? 😂 Yesterday they froze customer withdrawals. Binance is already backing out of acquiring them because their books were so bad. So much wasted time and money.

What goes behind the cancellation of a tv show? I know low ratings may be one, but I am under the impression that really popular shows have suffered this fate as well.

I’m getting a temperature read. Is hiring picking up? Are clients briefing? Are we turning a corner or are we still in a holding pattern? I’m outta work and trying to get a gauge on the job market right now.

How do you deal with feeling overwhelmed at a new job? I recently joined a great company - awesome people and potential, and there's a lot of trust, which is great.

They're asking me to come to the table with ways to improve creativity and the team, thoughts on the wider business, etc. I'm also the most senior creative in the company and now deal directly with c-suite, which is a first for me.

It just feels like there is a big expectation to make magic happen and I don't want to fuck it up.
