This got me thinking, is now a good time for us to start looking at exit opportunities more seriously? For those affected, or potentially affected in the future, what are your plans moving forward? Are you considering pivoting to a new industry or perhaps starting something of your own?

Hi Fishes,
I am thinking of a job switch. I had a past experience in Angular on which I have a nice grasp. But currently working on React/Nextjs which i am less proficient than angular.
So which is better in terms of long term Career growth and Job opportunies in todays market.

Please suggest

I’v been in digital marketing for almost 5 years. I want to switch to marketing operations or research, because I find I’m better at and more interested in market research, audience research than keyword research or writing ad copies. I applied for some marketing research and operations roles, but no luck.

I understand I don’t have enough direct experience and platform experience, like Nielsen.

Any advice?

How TF does someone become a product manager at a MAANG company at 23 when every PM job posting out there requires 5+ years of experience???? Genuine question

Wanting to get out of fed space. I am a data scientist with 5YOE. What are good companies to look for in DC area that’d hire someone with gov consulting experience?

Which one should I go for?

1. Oracle - 18.3 LPA fixed + probable bonus (I may or may not get)
2. Amadeus - 18 fixed + 1.5 variable.

Amadeus is also giving joining bonus of 75k. Amadeus is paying more, may give better hikes too, but I am finding it hard to let go off Oracle's brand name on my resume even if it's means around 2L less over an year. I am planning to work for atleast 3 years in my next company.

What would you have done in my place? Should I go for Oracle or Amadeus?

Hi , I have 3.6 YOE and have been offered software engineer role in Oracle India Private Limited(IDC).

Apart from hikes how is the promotion policy in oracle. Can I expect as senior software engineer role after 2 years atleast?

Offered CTC: 18LPA

What does an exit from Salesforce consulting look like? I’m in a technical role leading a small team so my understanding is a technical/solution architect or a development team lead at either Salesforce or an end user like Amazon/Amex.

I have bounced around a couple consulting companies so would prefer not to do it again. Total 4 YOE.

I don’t think I have enough YOE to go for a program architect role at SF otherwise I’d be interested.

Best place to score moving boxes?

Quick survey: Do you guys think having a template package to envelope an ML model as an application would be helpful. The package could contain boiler plate template for unit test, docker image, CI/CD, database connectors etc and act as a starting point for doing that. Tech firms usually have that internally but limited options in open source.
