Not everyone wants to work in tech! Funny how FAANG starts to sound like the be-all end-all industry job in this echo chamber.

What about people interested in healthcare? Banking? Oil and gas? Any other industry?

Facebook and Google really just exist to sell ads. Sure it looks good on a resume and it’s a great fit for some, but there are more interesting places out there for many of us.

Guys, gals, these questions are getting painfully repetitive. Please include _some_ useful level of detail when asking about complex comparisons.

I’d like to think mbb vs faang is not as ambiguous as beth vs mary. Many of the factors you’ve listed will be unclear/Not guaranteed. I was looking for a general direction of which industry people think is a better move to pursue, all else being equal.

But it’s ok

Post MBA went into consulting. Had offer for Facebook but couldn’t bring myself to work for them. Good decision if you ask me. Specially after all the crap it has been revealed about them lately.

Graduated in April with my PharmD/MBA degrees. I did two great biopharma internships, had my resume professionally edited, perfected my interview skills and started applying to jobs in January. I have talked to 20 plus recruiters maybe 3 have actually gotten me interviews the rest ghost me. I had an amazing interview last week (legit the guy told me they want a 3rd interview and it’s been a week and I texted him and never heard back. What am I supposed to do? I want a remote biopharma job :/

Looking for advice! I was approved to work remotely but my salary will decrease 10%. I received two raises so the decrease brings me down to my previous salary. I was told that it’s due to the cost of labor in the area.

I’ve been with my company for 8+ yrs, I love my manager and the work I do (engagement, recognition, & wellness programs) but I feel like I’m limiting myself since I have the experience, an HRM degree, and SHRM-CP credentials.

Should I apply for roles outside the company?

Here is my idea for a startup! I collect all the data from career transitions and use Data Analytics to predict the most likely career transitions. I could start with consulting.

I have all the data to do this, but wanted your thoughts. Would the output of this be relevant to you?

Hi everyone!

This isn’t really an interview question but more of an on-boarding question.
Bit of background- I left my job of 3 years in Dec 2021 for a new company. Initially, I thought the company was great but my mind quickly changed. The on-boarding process was horrible, minimal training, thrown onto enterprise project 2 weeks in, over time, and there is no process for anything. I ended up hating my job.

Fast forward to Mid March, I started applying for jobs again but I omitted this role.
