So I’ve been working at the same place for 3 years and have hit a wall a while back, overworked/ underpaid, overlooked etc . I went back to for a second Bachelors in mechanical engineering but working a full time job will see it I graduate in 10yrs so now I’m starting my MBA soon. Seems like nothing I try helps. Anyone experiencing the same trying to get interviews/ job offers? I’ve been trying to get into Apple, Meta, aerospace giants for yrs. Have only had 2 interviews in 3 yrs. No help.

Hey there,
Full disclosure I don't work at the places you listed but I knew a few folk. They had skills and experience that directly lined up to their roles. Or they networked aggressively.
Good luck

I have 22 years of experience in aviation maintenance and currently work as a Sr. Systems Engineer (lead position) for Collins Aerospace/Raytheon Technologies.

I echo what C1 said about networking and experience being pinnacle. This is just my personal path to where I am; not all paths are the same. I had 6 years of military experience that opened the door for me to be an aircraft mechanic in the civilian sector for little over 10 years. That opened the door to be picked up by an engineer in the hangar whose partner was transferring about 5 years ago. Only because I was constantly in their office picking their brain and the engineering lead was impressed by my knowledge and organization skills on the aircraft. At the time I had no degree (I do now in Creative Writing but only to get a pay bump), just knowledge and connections.

Anyways, I wish you the best in your endeavors.

Hi all - just joining and looking for some guidance! I am currently in an IT internship position (making pretty solid money considering) and following this summer I will stay on part time during my senior year (discussing a full-time job offer after already). I’m getting my computer science degree, so I would like to do something more technical in the workplace when I graduate. How do I advocate myself for that to my manager without sounding unappreciative of the position I’m in?

Is it bad manners or just a bad idea to go back to a recruiter if they got you a job that wound up being a bad fit?
For context, I don’t think they misled me. The job changed 3 weeks after I got hired, and got stuck in a role that’s just not a good fit. Gave it 6 months of honest effort and I’m ready to start job hunting.
I saw this recruiter make a post on LinkedIn, and I liked working with them the first time, and I want to reach out. But I don’t know what they’ll think.

Hi All,
I'm joining EY India Technology Consulting in a week. However, EY is also my client, primarily we're involved in the maintenance of their internal user interface.

I can see a non solicitation clause in my current employer's offer letter than I can't join client within 12 months of my termination.

Are this non solicitation clauses followed in reality? Everyone's has been asking me to chill, since I'm joining as scon, not a manager or with any trade secrets. Opinions pls.
