Should I go back to public/professional services to hit Manager? I’ve been in private industry for nearly 3 years now. I’ve been able to get some interviews for manager roles but I think i’m being beaten out by current managers.

Yes, if you are not a Manager and you are currently interviewing for a Manager role, they might be tough.. you might be competing with other managers or PA Seniors that are soon to be Managers… I am going back to PA to be a Senior then Manager .. little bit tough in the industry

funny

Same here. I am thinking about going back to PA to have the title. It seems impossible to compete with the people who already have the title. Good luck to all!

I also left public as a senior. Another option is to take a manager role with a lateral salary move just to get the title and then bounce after a year.

My company went toxic in the last couple months. Chose me and started interviewing.

If Amazon or any other FAANG/large co gets back to me, is there an acceptable way to not burn bridges with new job and accept or delay start date with FAANG? Or fuck it just hop?

Interviewing at a dream company, and right from the first interview the recruiter told me we are way off on salary expectations. This was a little bit expected, as the role is requiring a few years less experience than I have and also in a much cheaper market. They already told me the salary range during this first call, but wondering if they like me enough and I get an offer, how I might approach negotiating for more. I would be making much less than I do now, but it is a dream company.

Hello,

I have cleared interview with Wipro a month ago and after 15 days I received a simple mail from HR saying you are selected.

Since that day, there is no communication from HR team of Wipro . I tired of sending multiple emails and when I tried to call he always declines my call.

Between director of respected technology is reaching me and he wants me to join ASAP and take over the project work.

What should I do now?

Thanks

I am contemplating a move to industry working at a VC, Tax Director role east coast. Looks like it will be primarily overseeing compliance with some aspect of advising on structures etc. There is another tax reporting head above me.

The potential comp is the low 200k with a 10% bonus (still higher than what I am making). I feel this is pretty low for VC standards but maybe my standards are also too high. I have generally seen 25% bonus with carry.

Any thoughts?
