Hand written note will definitely make them think you're more senior.

(Contd.) from the company reached out and we spoke, but when I followed up a week after she said they were looking for someone more senior. Last week the company reposted the role (guess they never found anyone) and I was thinking about reaching out to the hiring manager directly… thoughts?

like

Your right..... and I've thought about that. I want to take a different approach, instead of just sending an email that might never get read, have also been contemplating having a hand written note messengered over

Also, do you know anyone that would be willing to vouch for you? A good word can go a long way.

like

I don't know anyone at the company that would vouch for me. But do have people I have worked /work with that would.

I had the same response from a recruiter. Going around them to locate the hiring manager was effective.

Good idea. Go for it and make sure to point out why you're a perfect fit.

If I was the hiring manager I'd think, "yeah this guy/gal has some initiative, let's talk."

Do you think if I messenger it to the office it's creepy? Should I just mail it?

like

^ Agree. Include references in your note.

Did you send the handwritten note? If not, send tomorrow.

Why is that creepy? It's faster than snail mail. You're an overanalyzer lol!

I have been talking to a recruiter for a little over a month about a position. I let her know out the gate that I really wasn’t looking to change jobs, but she just kept wanting to continuing the conversation. I didn’t have 2 interviews with the hiring coming and they know that I am not really looking to make a switch. They are now working on an offer letter and I know they’re going to offer me more money. I’m having my annual review this week. Any advice on how to handle a) job offer b) review?

With inflation and rent going up I’m considering moving 3 hours away where rent is half the cost I’m paying now.

Hello Everyone,

I have 4.3 YOE currently and I was offered Engr II - Full Stack position in VDSI. But after doing some research it seems Engr II is usually for YOE between 2 and 4. Is this correct? Will there be a problem for me if I take up this position with my YOE?
Since I am a lateral entry, I think promotion to Engr III also would take a lot of time.

Also can you please let me know the current designation hierarchy in VDSI?

Researching the job mkt & pay for nursing: It is so easy to set up a first interview esp. as a nurse. Set up a zoom meeting, in the zoom meeting ask abt job details and ask for the salary range. They will give it to you, and in my case it was the same range for both of the companies. (Hospice oncall nurse here👋). Then you fit in somewhere on that continuum based on education & experience—that where the negotiation comes in—they will make a case to place you as low as possible on the scale.

I’m currently a 2nd year associate in commercial finance. I’ve realized I don’t enjoy a a strictly transactional practice. I enjoyed litigation matters as a summer (particularly the adversarial nature). Also, love talking and advising clients. I don’t want the litigation lifestyle and appreciate the in-house opportunities of transactional. Assuming that I could switch (or lateral), I’m thinking I may enjoy employment (and the ability to defend and train/advise). I appreciate any insight.
