I’m looking to make a career change and move on from traditional support engineering to a sales engineering role.

I’ve applied to a position at a product vendor we’ve used for a long time. I have a great relationship with our the customer success team at the company. Would it be appropriate to ask them for a referral to the hiring manager?

How would I go about doing that without it being awkward considering we have regular meetings with them with my current team?

Howdy…I need a sanity check! As part of my previous role, I reported security non-compliance and gross security misrepresentations.

I was extremely concerned that systems housing personal credit data on all US consumers were not adequately protected. I essentially risked my job to protect data and I’m not sure if it mattered.

Does vmware layoff employee very often ? I heard that every year they layoff twice or thrice.

Ultimately I think we will be ok, but I know he's hurting / stressed / and could use a supportive partner.

How do you know it’s time to leave a job/pivot? (vs sticking it out). We’ve grown really quickly as a company so it’s definitely an adjustment.

Pros:
- Lots of people are great to work with
- Smart marketers
- Has been a huge career accelerator leadership wise
- Growing company and stable-ish industry
- Hopeful future

Cons
- More red tape, slower innovation
- More meetings/reporting than work
- Doesn’t feel like creativity is a value
- A few prominent people left recently
- Lots of burnout
