LinkedIn is great, has all the benefits of microsoft and then some. Talent is top notch there too, I’d rank it higher than Facebook, Amazon and Apple for sure

I would consider joining LinkedIn tbh, but I dunno if they can pay as well.

We can pay similarly at the same level, but we don’t have standard refreshers like Google, but we do have significantly faster promotions (1.5 year as between levels on average), so it actually roughly evens out.

I have a friend at Google who started the same time as me and we’re roughly even after 3 years at comp, but I got promo 1 year faster than him.

I am a career changer on mo 4 of a 6 mo sourcer/researcher contract that I’m not sure will be renewed due to team re-organizing. I have 5 YOE basically in an HR generalist role at a company that didn’t have an official HR function, building systems from the ground up. I also have my SHRM-CP. I am looking for a perm, remote HR generalist or program manager position and getting no traction despite a well-reviewed resume. What do I do? Should I go to grad school?

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out.

I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
