I’m interviewing for an EA (not your typical role) to a serial entrepreneur/CEO who is also interviewing for a Chief of Staff. They have mentioned I would make a great CoS based on my prev experience & could see me being a COO in the next 10 yrs. After playing back our last meet, I realise the CEO was trying to tease out of me/get me to probe on interest for CoS role. I am interested but also don’t want to talk myself out of the EA role as I really want to work for this individual – advice pls?

Guys I had received a call from HR for a position I had applied. She asked me my expected ctc. Told me she will talk to hiring manager and get back to me. Should I call back and ask her for a status?

Need honest opinions.... Is it really worth it to wait until after being a senior for a year to look for other opportunities?

Hi fishes

I have 6 years of experience in SAP and I want to switch to a data engineer profile now. Is there anyone here who made a career switch to data engineer after having more than 6 years of non coding experience?. If yes, can you please tell me the courses you have done and the path you have followed?

Interviewed yesterday but couldn’t get the salary range from the recruiter until I told her my current compensation. Does that frustrate anyone else? I hate that.

Please feel free to post any question regarding any firm - we all understand how daunting it can be leaving your comfort zone and join another firm - I am sure there must be someone in the community who can advise you on your potential new role. Please invite others to this bowl if you know they are in a similar situation!

Hello all, I hope you’re all having a fantastic day/evening. I’m a Case Manager for TZ Insurance, aka Tranzact. Does anyone know of anything I could apply for at other companies/positions with my skill set? I don’t want to be a sales agent, though I have a Health/Life Insurance License in my state (& a few others). I review new applications with clients. I’m sick of dealing with all the 65+ & disabled people who are always irate & impatient, inside the “Medicare” area of Health Insurance.

Covid travel question - for Spain I had to fill out a "health control form" because I am connecting in Madrid to go to Italy. The form had me check a box if Spain isn't my final destination (which it's not) and now says TRANSIT across the top of my QR code. I am connecting to another airline so will need to go get my bags - will I have any trouble since I assume getting my bags is within Spain and after immigration
