Tech startup or big tech company? And why?

Any experience with test prep providers? Any thoughts on Mark Meldrum or Schweser?

Has anyone gone from being an admin to working in IT ? I have a big interest but not sure where to start. My current company has an IT department that I may be able to look into.

I’m in an interesting dilemma. Very interested in leaving my company, but I am also going through IVF. I know most new jobs require a year wait before you can go on maternity leave. Does anyone know a great company to work for that does not require this? Obviously, I’m getting a bit ahead of myself, but if this works, I don’t want to accept a job and not be paid for maternity leave because I am doing this solo. Appreciate all the help!

Genuinely curious if Bill Nye encouraged anyone's science career?

Anyone here work for a venture capital? Do you like it? How is it compared to working in FAANG?

I am looking for a new job at the end of a long career. I have excellent experience in IP and Supply Chain Management. I've been fortunate to be in a high-paying position in the Los Angeles area and I rarely see comparable positions posted. The comparable positions at my company are filled by one of the big executive search firms. Any recommendations for finding the rare executive-level legal positions or for landing on the radar of the big executive search firms would be much appreciated!

Got an offer to clerk for a DJ over the phone a couple of months ago. Silence since. I start in late summer, but when should I expect HR to reach out with onboarding materials? Is an offer letter usually sent?

Hi Fishes,
Anyone from Cognizant Pune? Need you help..

I really just need to switch out of consulting - can anyone here provide a referral (prior experience include BA, cloud infrastructure, change management, PMO type roles)

Does anyone need a hr coordinator, or entry level talent acquisitions coordinator that is 100 remote? Remote jobs are extremely competitive and when I find job posts on LinkedIn there are already over 100 applicants. Very competitive!I am open minded about salary,I have so much interest in expanding my skills. I have about a year of recruiting in the staffing industry and 6 months as an hr assistant for a corporate/manufacturing company. MA in Hr and will be testing for phr in July. Thank you

What does a good earned media strategy look like to you?

Has anyone pushed back on their firm’s return to office plans? And if so, what has been the response from management to requesting to be fully remote or only coming in once/twice a week?

How’s your agency handling performance reviews and goal setting this year?

Has anyone done a collab with influencer MIKIRAI? I know she’s a big deal but i’m trying to figure out if she’s worth the money, our agency just had a bad experience with an influencer and the client is not happy. We need to make a comeback! All insights are appreciated.

About to start a new role as an Associate Director for a PR agency. How do I prepare for this job ahead of time? Any tips and tricks welcome.

I have been interviewing for a job. I think I will get an offer. On paper everything is great. ~30k more than I’m making now, plus larger bonus and more profit sharing. Everyone seemed nice. I know someone who works there, and she says it’s great. I hesitate because I love my job. I have the best boss I’ve ever had and genuinely like coming to work. I’ve never had that before. Am I stupid for staying or possibly leaving??

Has anyone ever worked with a recruiter/headhunter? Are there any pr/mar comms focused firms you'd recommend?

I'm looking to return to the U.S. after over a decade living and working in SSA (Marcom for ecommerce startups and tech enabled nonprofits). I've been job hunting as I plan my move in the fall but haven't gotten any serious bites. Does anyone have any pointers to ease the process of transcontinental job hunting?

Started at my first agency 3 mo. ago. I’m doing great work on exciting clients, but I often feel uninspired and drained. Is it growing pains or is this the wrong industry for me? How will I know?

I made the switch to in house and omg it’s so slow. I knew it’d be a bit slower than agency but I accomplish less in a month than I used to in a day. Is this how all in house jobs are or has anyone found a faster pace in house gig?

What is a typical salary for an SVP, 15 years of experience, at a large PR agency in the LA or NYC market?

Hi! I have a very demanding role as a comms director, but still make time to volunteer on the side for some women's organizations I am proud to support. Lately though, the work has been piling up and it's almost as if I have two full-time gigs. I've brought this up as graciously as possible with the orgs, but sometimes I feel I'm being guilted into taking on more work. Best etiquette in this situation? I don't want to leave the roles despite the overwhelm.
