Joined Industry few months back, been doing Global PMO work ever since. Work has been super chill but not stimulating at all, meaning all I do every day is to adjust formats, propose trackers and collaborate with stakeholders, I have no direct authority over anyone. I just received an offer from FAANG with much more challenging work, but it might translate to worse WLB. Should I make the move?

FANG (left out Amazon intentionally) and worse WLB? Okay now I want to know your current firm.

Seriously! OP, please tell us the name of your firm, so we can apply for roles there.

P.S: Facebook changed its name to “Meta,” so it’s MAANG now I guess.

Go to FAANG, you don't want to rust

Hola everyone,
I have 1.5years of experience in Angular and recently i started looking for job opportunities. I was hoping that it will take 2-3 months at least to find a job opportunity and then when i serve 90 days notice period then I'll have around 2years of experience. But i got an offer letter in the first company i interviewed at and they are offering 80% hike.
I think i still have many things to learn and i can do it in my current company. Now should i accept that offer letter or reject

Hi everyone, I’m a 6th grade teacher who is thinking about teaching ESL in an adult school next year. The positions are usually part time, 9-12 hours per week. How is the workload? Will there be work that’s hidden under the required hours? For example, prep time, is it included within the paid hours? Thanks so much!
I appreciate anyone who takes the time to help me with my questions. 🙏

I believe in the philosophy of learning from other's experiences, success stories, mistakes and regrets while keeping in mind that similar set of life events may unfold into totally different ways/outcomes for others as there are always too many variables in the equation called LIFE.

Hey Everyone!
I’m coming up on one year of working in consulting post under grad in a financial services vertical. I know I want to transition to corporate strategy down the road, but don’t have much interest in financial service strategy. Should I try and switch into a more applicable practice such as M&A or operations? Will I be able to break into corporate strategy without any past experience in that industry? I want to avoid getting pigeonholed into FS, but with COVID, don’t want to leave.
