You left your old job for a reason. Don’t let your disappointment at your new job push you back the wrong direction. Take the time during your parental leave to apply elsewhere and really identify what are the key things you’re looking for in your next job/company.

I thought the new role would be a stepping stone and offer more growth. Can't pivot back to old job or search for new job right now because will be going out on parental leave. But can't let go of regret that I should never have left my previous role. Even though in previous job, I had an insecure manager who actively tried to isolate me, including blocking a lateral transfer away from his group. Still grieving because I liked my role and the other people in the company otherwise.

I’ve got about 20 years cross channel experience in marketing, split between big brands and startups, and I’m considering pivoting into a data science/data analyst role. I know it will initially be a step back in comp but is it at all realistic for a person with certificate level experience in data analysis but a decent marketing management background to expect $150-200k comp or is that mostly for degreed candidates (or not realistic at all)? Any guidance here is greatly appreciated.

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected. I proceed to ask how much PTO is offered and he said that is not recommend within the first 6 months of working and the harder you work the more PTO you receive. From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?
