Question! For anyone who has ever transitioned in careers. When updating you LinkedIn or resumes, how were you able to connect your past experiences/ jobs with what you want to do now?

I’m currently working on updating my LinkedIn and is having a funk because I don’t know what key words I should use to let people know that I’m serious about my transition,

Agree with above, + doing some LinkedIn stalking of other people in your new job/career path also helps

Has anyone recently made the switch to in house and now feel unorganized and less productive than when billing hours?

Litigation was just so task based because of needing to hit billables, so without that requirement I feel a little like a fish out of water.

I went client side and am miserable - it’s madness on this side. Have made it 90 days and would prefer not to make it more than 120 - but we’re in a pandemic. Half of the problem is that I “onboarded” remote and the onboarding was TERRIBLE. The other thing is that there is no process and I’m on a team full of managers who have spent 15 years at this company and have no availability to talk to me with a day full of meetings. I’d prefer not to quit without a backup but I cry every day.

Any idea how long I need to wait for the offer ?

PMs, If your company is an AWS shop, they just released two new cool features to Cloud Watch that is extremely valuable to PMs. The first one is Cloud Watch Evidently that allows for non-deployment A/B testing and the second is Cloud Watch RUM for user and performance monitoring.
