Market has been pretty hot until last month in my experience

Oh okay! Thank you maybe it’s me! Lol

The Tampa and Orlando market has cooled. Especially if you’re looking outside insurance defense firms.

Yes this is what I have noticed!! Maybe the new year will bring some changes!

I've been looking for positions almost daily, and it seems that there are nothing new ever posted, and the few jobs that are (and have been for awhile) are outside of my experience. I've been looking at the top firms in Tampa though, so my pool of job postings is admittedly smaller.

What practice area? My firm may have interest in certain transactional practice groups if you have some experience.

You should reach out to a recruiter…firms often work with them rather than posting the available jobs.

Also, if you like the Tampa/Orlando vibe, if you’re able to relocate you should check out the Treasure Coast/West Palm Beach market. There’s not really any law schools nearby so it’s less competition for job.

How is Flipkart for Work life balance? I have ~5 years of exp and hold an offer of 32 + Stocks. Also the expectation is to know Java but during the interview process , there was no discussion of Java or any questions asked. Although the team has asked me to invest some time in learning Java but I’m skeptical about all of this as the position is Data Engineer II so not sure how the expectations will change. Even if I invest time in learning Java I can be at a beginner level.

I’m interviewing for a marketing manager role at a company based in SF. I’m genuinely excited about the role and the company but we’ve yet to discuss salary. I expect to be asked at some point, but my research has given me a VERY broad range. So I’m here to do a bit more research. I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?
