Make sure your firm doesn’t have a clawback period on leave. I have heard that some Big 4 make you payback and BCG doesn’t offer transition benefits if you leave before a nominal period (couple months) before resigning

No harm in evaluating opportunities any time . If you find something you like you should explore.

Not uncommon and not an unknown risk to your company. As a father of two, I encourage you to explore what’s best.

Do it

Do what you feel is necessary. You're the only one looking out for yourself and your family.

I moved into industry when my twins were born. never regretted it.

Here are my observations about the skills and experiences that PMs have and how people are joining that group.

They are all technical. All of them could easily be very technical cloud consultants or cloud engineers.
Tl/Dr. If you couldn't get hired as a cloud engineer or cloud consultant - you probably can't become a PM

Hello! I need some (creative) suggestions on how to do a video interview. I live in a very small 1br apartment with my husband occupying the bedroom for work during the day and a 2 yr old occupying the living area. I thought of the kitchen but it’s proximity to a busy road makes it a little too noisy to have a good call. The bathroom perhaps? Will that create an echo? I am thinking of using a backdrop so that the mess will be covered up. It will be a 30-min interview.

Is it too late in our lives to jump into a mortgage?

So my fiancée and I are relatively late in terms of finally landing well paying jobs and being able to save money instead of living paycheck to paycheck. We’re both 36 and currently rent a 2 bedroom in NY and have a combined savings of $35,000 which she wants to use as a down payment on a condo. I kinda just wanna continue saving while renting. I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.
