Need advice: Moved for a job, relocation covered, signing bonus, etc. But, after a couple months, I am pretty sure I won’t last more than a year. Shitty to leave at the one year mark?

Not at all. You need to do what is best for yourself and your family. Never put a company above your own needs.

Get out as soon as you can before it starts to do damage to other areas of your life.
Regarding you relocation, you may need to pay this back but occasionally your next role can help you pay it (or parts), or try to get a signing bonus again when you move to your next role to help cover the costs.

Not at all.

What SA1 said. Make sure you won’t be paying them to leave

the contract only refers to relocation costs and states that I must stay a year (otherwise must pay back).

The tough part is that I’m considering returning to last agency. This one is VERY SMALL.

Hi guys, I’m debating switching careers. I’m currently a mortgage loan officer but I’m very interested in SE. My degree is in finance. There’s a coding bootcamp near me called Boca Code that’s supposed to be top notch. I’m curious for feedback on 1. Are coding bootcamps actually a way into the industry like they’re marketed? And 2. What is a realistic starting salary for entry level SE? I’ve read and been told 90k, but that seems high.

Men: What does this mean? Been seeing him for a month. Asked if he is still seeking out other women. He said no and that he has been enjoying my company. I told him I don’t plan on seeing anyone else and he said the same. He brought up that he wants a serious relationship with me but feels he can’t right now because of a demanding new job. I told him I don’t want to rush into anything serious. He acts very couple-like when we see each other. I am not sure how to interpret this.

I currently work in SaaS software implementation and really want to break into product management. I am finding it hard to get interviews. I feel that I have a ton of transferable skills - agile delivery, customer insights, working with ui/ux, engineering, marketing, business, IT to get something shipped and more. Anyone willing to help me out? Review my resume?

So imagine an imaginary scale where 0 is the worst piece of work a studio could produce and 10 is the best possible outcome.

If a project is a 3 when I get it, how do I summon the energy to make it a 6 that I could to make a 7 a 10?
