San Diego

Do you like rain or sun?

San Diego. You can take the train to LA in two hours. You can drive to Palm Springs in two hours. Weather. Beach. Hiking. Napa/Sonoma’s sister vineyards are all in Guadalupe Valley, 45 minutes across the border in Mexico for 1/8 the price. More reasonable housing prices. Hot military guys galore.

Hi there. Ex Deloitte Sr Mgr here, currently in tech pre sales (SaaS / MarTech). Recently spoke to both Salesforce and Adobe recruiters for roles that I thought were lateral moves (Sr SA / Sr SC), therefore I did not proceed with the selection process. The recruiters from both companies told me they typically hire at that level, and people are considered for promotion to Principal in 1 to 2 years. I found that odd. Is that right? What’s the typical TC for SAs and SCs there? (15+ yrs exp).

A shout-out to the timely, engaging, and relevant work created by Grab in-house for the SEA region. It should be awarded creative advertiser of the year.

Although Amazon has instituted a hiring freeze and layoffs are probably on their way, I went through the loop for a security engineer position at AWS. Before I attended the final interviews, Amazon placed the hiring freeze and called me to ask if I wanted to go ahead or cancel my application. I decided do go ahead Right now I'm waiting for their response and the position I applied to changed from "under consideration" to "no longer under consideration". Thoughts?
