Thoughts on putting time on Manager's calendar after emailing for a potential role? No response from M for a few days. Analyst on the bench looking for help 😞

I would frown on that. If I have a need I'm aggressive about filling it, I respond if it fits

I would not respond to most of the emails I receive signifying interest - unless I am interested in your profile. Make sure you submit yourself as a candidate. (You can imagine the number of emails a role contact gets. If it's at project initiation or a crazy phase in the project, s/he may just not have the capacity to reply to you.)

This can be tricky. You know the manager? I typically don't like receiving calls or IM messages from folks trying to find a role. I particularly dislike when they send an IM with "Hi ****" without jumping into the topic. I find that if a person is looking for resources, they will respond. If not, they will ignore emails or attempts to reach out.

I don't. I found the contact on myScheduling and sent an initial email of my interest. Didn't get an email response so I thought I'd send a tentative meeting invite.

It's a tricky one. I would follow up with a "Hi X, I know you don't know me. I'm looking to get staffed, see you have Y role open and here's why I think I'm a good fit" (following with 3-6 bullet points).
Show me what I need to know without wading through your auto generated resume....

I would stick to emails with bulleted qualifications. When people have a need they will reply. Invites and IM messages are super annoying when you are busy.

That said, try other tactics like reaching out to the associated TFS, network every chance you get and offer help with other work. I remember those people who offer help

Nearing the end of the interview process for a DevOps engineer role with salesforce. Before I get to the conversation with Hr, I am curious what salary + bonus to aim for as a mid tier with 3 years experience. Do they offer the option to get shares and a lower salary or is that no longer on the table?

So here is my dilemma:
- based in the UK
- opportunity for lateral internal move (culture&engagement) or stay where I am (reward). I am mid level IC struggling to progress due to flat structure so considering lateral move then hopefully up from there.
- 2 primary aged children, currently have flexibility in current/new role too
- Husband just got accepted on a international rotation which means I will be single parent for the short term.

What to do? Go with the unknown or coast comfortably?

Hey everyone, looking for some advice. I’ve been working as a RC for a tech company for 15 months making 45k (I know I’m underpaid) and I’m looking to pivot. I feel really burnt out in this role and would love to transition to something else, perhaps another department. I don’t really want to be in an entry level role again, so what kinds of jobs should I be looking at where I can transfer over my skills easily? I also have customer service experience but would love to stay away from that. TIA!

If a recruiter reaches out, you have a great initial convo then they say they’ll follow-up shortly with next steps and don’t (after 7 biz days). Is it worth following-up? My sense is if they were interested they would be pushing the process forward?
