Need help here. Joined this company 8 months ago and has been acquired by a PE company so, nobody really knows what’s going to happen. So far, I’ve been good but the amount of work has piled, leadership is not very transparent, I get no performance bonuses and the amount of work has been crazy for the past months. I get no support or training since all what matters is producing deliverables. What should I do? Starting again to look for work? I was finally happy to switch to industry

Hey, I would start to look at other opportunities. Usually the PE would try to sell the company in 3-5 years

However, I don’t understand why they keep hiring some high ups... what do I know at my level 🤷‍♀️

Start looking - PE firms are incentivized to cut costs as much as possible usually.

Yep, the package they offered me was less attractive than what it was before. The only good thing I can think of is the flexibility

Hi! I recently acquired a CAPM and I am in the process of becoming certified with an ECBA, with years of varying experience in a number of industries including leadership experience.

Can I get suggestions for those who have pivoted careers? Thanks!

Does it mean anything if your HR consultant randomly adds you on LinkedIn? I’ve never even met her in person or talked to her over the phone. I’m probably overthinking but just curious. Thanks!

I did what I thought was an informal info chat with a team about an opening. The team lead( Sr. Dir) called my VP who ended up calling me wondering what was happening. Why would the team lead do that? Is there benefit in asking him? Or is this a sign of his working style and what I consider low EQ.

Ladies, love to hear your thoughts. I’m in my late 20’s with a handful of close gfs (most of them live far) but I have a history of losing girlfriends. I’m self aware to a fault and am very supportive/responsive but other than my core group, it’s hard for me to keep gfs around other than 6 month span. It’s happening to me again right now and it’s really hard, she’s going through something and pulling away/towards others when we have been VERY close before. Anyone else have this experience?

How do I battle this situation? Would definitely like both perspectives.
