Hi all, I'm planning for a training from SimpliLearn for the PMP.. please advise if it's worth the time and money and if it will help me in clearing the exam.. TIA

Hi , I am 48 and from India, recently after covid i had to switch my career from manufacturing to IT. i underwent training in Salesforce for an year and then fortunately got recruited and its been now more than a year in Salesforce plus my 17+ year experirence in manufacturing. Recently due to some personal reason i am thinking of moving to USA, as a 48 year old is it possible to apply for jobs in USA from India and what are the chances i have getting a job, not particular abt the package.

I have a younger family member (almost 13) who is very interested in cybersecurity. How can this person learn and grow in a safe manner if he/she isn’t near a city with youth clubs and etc? Idea is to reinforce ethics, but this material is far too advanced for the parents.

Considering that the end of this year will probably signal the start of a recession, is this a bad time to jump into a new role in Pharma?

If you start as a Program Manager, how/when do you begin to advise people as a people lead? I’ve heard Program Managers are not people leads. I started lead a team of 3 about a month ago at my current job and don’t want to lose leadership experience but have been told my YOE would map to a Program Manager level at Google.

Anyone know of a good career coach I could reach out to? Thanks in advance! 🙏

According to an article in LinkedIn new job postings are down for the first time in 9 months but still there over 10 million open jobs with only 5.9 million unemployed workers. Why is it that here I am unemployed over 4 months and still not one offer. Anyone got some positive vibes to send my way it would be appreciated!
