Other than a direct referral, what has been your most effective method for job hunting?

I only used my college's internship network, and that got me my first full-time role. I got my second full-time role through someone reaching out to me via LinkedIn.

I worked with a number of recruiters that reached out to me on LinkedIn when I changed “my open” setting on my LinkedIn profile so that they could see I was open to new positions. Ended up finding something in less than a month this way.

Market is bad right now so it’s taking way longer but agree with above to work with recruiters.

What's the market these days for someone with not-great technical skills, 12 YOE, TS clearance, hard-to-find/unique skillset, elite masters, middle management in DoD contracting, experience with critical/high profile roles?

I'm thinking 120-135k would be bad/mediocre, 180-195k would be possible/a stretch, and 160-170k would be doable/realistic. Thoughts? Not interested in Deloitte.

I have an appointment to get lip fillers for the first time. I want natural looking results, nothing too big. I know it takes time to settle, but will I be able to go to work the next day without it being noticeable?

Is CMA worth getting after getting the CPA? Or is it better to get the CFA. Also don’t have much finance background so I don’t know if I can pass the CFA will require a lot of hard work. Interesting in hearing people’s thoughts.

I have no plans in leaving PA anytime soon but I figure maybe I should look into another certification that holds value and makes me more marketable compared to my peers. Appreciate any thoughts and advice.

- Also considering going to a t14 MBA in future.
