I don’t have two ft jobs but a side hustle that pops up every now and again. Is def a short term solution. I can walk away from the side gig anytime I want or need to

It’s up to you really. I’m loving it and don’t plan on quitting anytime soon but if you need short term cash or want to gain specific experience to grow professionally, there’s no shame in doing a small stint.

Hi guys,

I switched 20 days back to Optum. I have 7 years of experience working as a full stack Engineer, who is passionate working on both front end and back end on latest technologies. But my project is working only on back end with 10 years old tech stack. There is no front end work at all. What should I do?
I don't like working here at all, but I am not sure whether moving out again in a month will give bad Impression on my resume. Hence please give me advice on this situation

I’m having the hardest time finding a new job. I have 12 years of HR experience, a masters in HR, SHRM certification, and all I keep getting are rejection emails. I’ve never experienced this difficult of a time searching for new opportunities. Is this normal once you hit a certain level in your career or is it just me?
