I'm looking to return to a permanent position in corporate communications after a 7-year stint as a consultant and wondering how much experience I should include on my resume. I believe that ageism is real, whether intentional or not.
I have some notable experiences from my early days that I'd like to include on my resume, but that goes back 20+ years. Do employers even care about experiences that old even if they relate directly to the job they're hiring for?

Have been in similar situation some years back. Things are much different now. Recruiters have advised to limit to relevant experience going back no more than 15-20 yrs.

Are there any companies hiring remote rn and willing to take a change on someone looking for a career change? I’m a senior manager in operations, but I just don’t like what I do. Honestly, the money doesn’t speak to me anymore either. I understand I probably need to take a step or two down in level, but I am willing to grind! Thank you!

Hi Fishes,
I cleared LTI all rounds and in HR discussion we came on mutual agreement for 16lpa .I have 7 years of experience and they gave me Specialist - Data Engineering(P3) role. And we agreed I will join with after 60 as I had to serve 60 days notice period. I was waiting for offer letter and when I received the offer letter I was shocked to see that CTC mentioned was 14LPA and joining date was only 15days from now ,which is way early.
Continuing the POST (++)
