The lived experience of a software engineer varies the higher you go up in the role. The living anecdote i heard of today was two EMs starting at the same time who were overqualified. The second has more similar traits and strengths to senior leadership than the other which makes them more relatable. These experiences can be isolating and a real challenge. Have you dealt with this phenomenon in your own career?

Offered a referral from someone at Deloitte but haven't heard back in 10 days since sending the job posting as they asked. I sent a follow-up email that has been read but still no reply.

Would anyone be willing to offer a referral for a Human Capital/Digital transformation position? I am worried the position will be filled as it has been posted for a month! Any leads would be appreciated and as always I am willing to sit down and chat with anyone!
