Hi Folks,

Out of Lowe's and Maersk, which company would you recommend from a product Management career perspective?

My company went toxic in the last couple months. Chose me and started interviewing. Had a very successful interview with Amazon but recruiter is working hard trying to place me and said there’s no knowing how long to find a team. Meanwhile I just received a Director offer for a company with a 29% pay bump July 1. If Amazon or any other FAANG/large co gets back to me, is there an acceptable way to not burn bridges with new job and accept or delay start date with FAANG? Or fuck it just hop?

Hi, Anyone working in Virtusa with BT as Client?

Would anyone recommend or share a side hustle that would complement a banker’s 8-5 M-F schedule?

Looking for more creative, cost effective, and efficient ways I can supplement my average salary. TIA!
