Interested in sustainable procurement? Check out these trainings the nonprofit I work for is supporting: https://globalelectronicscouncil.org/training/

The first training is hosted by NASPO and is aimed at public procurement officials in the US.

We’re also doing EU procurement training for both the public and private sector in October and November.

The NASPO training is free and can be done online anytime. You have to apply for the era EU training, but it’s also free if you’re selected.

I’m happy to answer any questions.

What do you think about switching tech stacks vs becoming an expert in one stack? I am a backend Java engineer, and have solely used Java since I've started my software engineering career about 2 years ago. I don't know whether I should explore other tech stacks while I'm young, or instead focus on becoming a Java expert, given that I enjoy working in Java.

Hi fishies! Considering an internal big 4 move from Western Europe to Dubai. Not sure about WLB and whether there’ll be enough growth and learning opportunities after reading some of the threads here. Anyone up for sharing their experience? Especially concerned about sexism / racism as a WOC…and whether moving back to Europe in a few years will be difficult because the ME experience won’t be considered valuable.

Is working in VC Ops for a T10 Series A fund a good opportunity? This would be an internship preMba. I’m making a career shift as a vet and looking to land a VC investor role post b school (ideally HS) Anecdotally I understand seed and series A VC is very network based so this would be a chance to meet great folks, but ultimately not the investing experience I’m hoping for. Other internship options include start-up or consulting.

General corporate in NY looking to lateral into tech transactions at one of the EC/VC firms. I’ve heard that I may get a class cut if I make the move but I’m ok with that. My worry is that EC/VC firms are crazy busy work differently from general corp, I also won’t have control over my hours, and potentially worse based on how billing differs (block billing on a few clients vs having to work with 15 or more startups). Is the same true for tech trans or IP group?

I'm an environmental engineer with little bit experience in the field gained in my country. I moved to the UK before covid and got a sales assistant job and later, an engineering and compliance administrator job. However, I want to get into the environmental field (sustainability, ecology, etc) but I feel like my experience before the UK doesn't count to the recruiters, since I'm only getting proposals from administrator roles. How do I overcome that?
