In the midst of interviewing for a position that would result in a career pivot. A part of me worried about a potential recession hitting soon after and I’ll be the first to be let go (which won’t be the case if I stay in my current career) but a part of me also realizes how miserable I am in my current job despite still being viewed as a high performer. Help?!

Can you use the time where you are now to continue to upskill and coast a bit? I agree it’s not good to be miserable, but making a strategic move is key

Ah ok that’s very fair. Make sure you have your emergency fund ready just in case. Seems like you have your decision made :)

A. Should I remain professional and not say a word? Wait till I’m out to make a move?

Hi, can some one provide me insights of the interview process for siemens healthineers, .net core full stack role, will their be any DSA or coding interview? , And how many interview rounds will be their for this role?

PSA: didn’t think anyone needed to hear this, but apparently many do. When you’re interviewing for a job you actually want, and the interviewer asks if you have any questions for them at the end, have questions ready, and legitimate ones. It’s a really bad look when candidates say “no I don’t have any questions,” or they ask something incredibly stupid like “what cool swag do you get?”
