What kind of career should I look for if I want these things? 33F, married, no kids yet, immigrant parents who didn’t save up too much and went back to their country…I feel like I need to optimize my career path and I’m out of ideas 🥲
1) Salary high enough to support 2 kids and parents (~3-400k?)
2) Flexible work location (Parents love in another country and can’t speak English)
3) Positions related to edu/capability building (My background is in ed, have done consulting in the ed practice)

I only see education consulting as making close to the salary you want. But of course it’s probably not flexible.

Unless you're blowing your budget in a VHCOL, you can support 2 kids and parents on quite a bit less than $300-400k.

More to the point, is McK not an option?

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?

on the way to an interview this morning eating a sandwich. I walked past a homeless man who had a stray cat perched on his lap. He asked for a bite of sandwich to feed them both as they hadn’t eaten in days. I gave the whole sandwich over and headed off to the interview. As I got to the interview room there was a large executive chair facing away from me. The chair turned and on top was a mirror. When looking in the mirror I could see the cat. I am the cat. Truly inspirational when you work hard

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious? Millennials like us always assume we’re about to get fired - I actually have been laid off in a meeting with that title.
