Way too many places want champagne-level work for watery beer-level wages. It doesn't help that age discrimination is supposed to be illegal, yet it's quite real and happens all the time.

Worst thing is knowing you're qualified because you've done almost the same job for years on end, you don't get the job, but there's no way to find out just WHY you didn't get it. You don't get feedback to adjust or change things going forward to give yourself a better chance.

You do what it takes. If you need to change industries to do that then so be it!

I landed a new job after window shopping as fully employed to another industry and got what I wanted. It's higher pay and better benefits, but an entirely different industry and I'm cool with that! The job is fully remote and I'll need to periodically travel to run field tests and gather data which actually sounds exciting compared to where I was.

Next is moving to a home of my choosing rather than the one I ended up with in desperation to comply with my previous company's proximity requirements!

So I've had 2 hiring managers and several recruiters from Amazon reach out to me about applying for some open positions with the company (android). I completed the coding assessment and now they want me to go through a round of 5 hour interviews next week. Is there a good chance I'll be hired if engineering managers are reaching out to me? I'm really not sure how badly I want to work for them and I don't want to be laid off months after being hired on. Anyone know what Amazon hiring is like?

Just received 2 offers that I’m weighing, both in Advertising tech:
1. Smaller firm about to be acquired by a larger one, Product Marketing role (title would be Sr. PMM)
2. FAANG, Sales Account Manager role (similar to my current role)
I have 5-6 YOE and have been in an Account Management role for most of my career - is it worth making the switch to PMM at a smaller firm or sticking with what I know at a FAANG? Both would have relatively similar comp. Thanks in advance for your input!

Hi everyone. I’m a front end software engineer. I’m interviewing next week for a solutions engineer at a company I really like, which I mistakenly applied for as I saw they needed ReactJS, JavaScript, HTML/CSS. Upon reading the job description, it’s clear I will be doing a lot of sales and client consulting over actually coding. I know they have a FE SWE role open. How would you approach asking the recruiter if there are any SWE openings I could be considered for instead ?

Can you shut the person down without starting a spat?
