What's the easiest way to crack into tech coming from consulting? Do I need inside connections? Can my background translate? FWIW I do have tech experience

I am currently working as an entry level claims adjuster. I am just about done with onboarding and I am interested in growing and earning more. I’m relatively young (30) and I want to make a good career for myself. My current salary is 50K and I am curious what growth is available financially. I am interested in fire and theft and SIU, but these are not the only roles I want to try. Does anyone have any idea the salary ranges available as I go further into different roles? (URBI,ARBI,F&T) etc?

I am working in Softtek from 2.8 yrs , now I want to switch but even now my background Qualification of being Mechanical Engineer gets in the way for most companies as that's the basic criteria as BE in IT, computer science or related feild and CV gets rejected in screening all the time .

Anyone from audit to product management? How you do that?

How do i start figuring out which job I’d both be good at and enjoy doing? Feel like there’s way too much out there and narrowing my focus is difficult. I don’t know what actual skills i have or if I’m even good at anything. Any thoughts on how to get this process moving?

Has anyone here ever considered/is considering med school after working in consulting? just wondering what the transition process was like. I am trained in life sciences and decided to try consulting postgrad to try something completely new. Lately I’ve realized I’m not super interested however and don’t see myself in consulting long term. I’d love to be on the ground treating people or shaping health policy later on.

I just realized I hate working in finance and want to start my own business. (Not the best time during a pandemic I know). I am young - does anybody know anyone that has made the transition?

What would be the best career path for someone who likes to be creative in the tech world? I have dabbled in marketing, not a huge fan, currently in client success and can confidently say I would like to try something else…just not sure where to go next…

What kind of Masters program would you recommend for someone hoping to make it into a senior leadership/executive role in Comms/PR? I have over 6 yrs of experience in Comms in public/private sector. However, I haven't had any formal education in Comms/Journalism which I have felt always put me at a disadvantage. My question is, is there an advantage of doing a Masters to improve my chances of getting into a leadership role? If so, would an MBA be better than a Masters in PR/Comms?

Why are blueprint folks leaving Trinity?

How do you deal with loud neighbors that you share a wall with? They live in the building directly next to mine so can’t go knock on their door. They’re usually not too bad just parties some weeknights which is super understandable. But they’ve been blasting music since 10am and I can’t focus on work.

Have agency minimums and/or average retainers changed during the pandemic?

Anyone reviewing creative that is outwardly encouraging folks to go to restaurants/bars ? Given recent spikes throughout certain regions of the US, not sure if I’m being overly concerned that this might be too soon?

Hi y’all! Hope this is the right bowl to post this question and get advice. I am dealing with an employer that preaches our values. The owner states that the values are important to her etc yet my manager violates these values and is involved in unethical behavior frequently. Example 1: My manager has told specialists (resourcers) that she will pay them under the table in order for her (manager) to get full credit vs splitfor the placement and therefore (barely) hit her target for the quarter.

What advice would you give to so@wine who joined a start-up but is realizing that the company is sinking more than swimming? How do I talk about that if I start a job search? Do I just look like a jerk? I’m giving it a few more months before I decide to start a search, if only so I have programs running instead of leaving them in a lurch.

Question: I currently work as an inside sales account manager selling a wide portfolio of IT products. I’ve been recruited for a role that would be an outside sales role selling ONLY a software solution that Im able to sell at my current company (but usually don’t due to other options that we are compensated better off of.) The new role would have some overlap with current customers that I work closely with now (one being a VERY large client.) Would this violate a non-compete/solicitation?

Hi All, Just after a terrible talent acquisition process. I applied for a job got contacted and told bookk a time with a member of the TA team. Booked the meeting which got moved twice and then cancelled. Different team member contacted me then and asked me to book time which I did. Initial meeting cancelled and second meeting was told the original requisition was filled vut a new one was being loaded and they would be in contact. Needless to say i withdrew myself from the process.

What's with the weird application questions? How does answering questions about the last movie I watched and the perfect peanut butter sandwich tell a recruiter about how qualified I am for a job?

I’m a SaaS AE with 4 years of sales and sales recruiting experience. I’m revamping my resume and sadly due to 2 startup layoffs in the last 15 months I’ve had 3 roles.

Any advice is appreciated!

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone new what the interview process is for a Web Solution Engineer at Google.

Hi everyone, I have a question. I am currently in the middle on of an interview process, where I am quite confident that I will get the job... but I want to work for another company that has contacted me 1 week ago to interview but hasn't scheduled the interview yet....

Meaning that their interview process is probably going to take longer... how should I reach out to the company and properly let them know my situation?

Has anyone had good matches/success when using a Recruiting Agency? I’m debating if I should use one on my current job hunt got myself.

In the past, when I was used a couple of a agencies for our hiring, it was a pretty rough experience. Mostly there was a big disconnect between what we told the recruiters we were looking for (in writing, in person & over the phone) & what the job was, and what the recruiters told the candidates. It was really frustrating on both ends.

Do you look desperate if you apply to several jobs within the same company? I was recently rejected for a job I REALLY wanted at a well known tech company. And after interviewing there and studying up on the company, I just really want to work there. The positions I'm applying for are definitely still within my wheelhouse. But will I just look too desperate to their in-house talent team to be considered?

Why are engineers so difficult to recruit? Sometimes they make me feel stupid lol.

Is a cover letter necessary?

How do referrals work?
If I get a referral from someone and I apply, then can I still reach out to a recruiter on LinkedIn expressing interest in the role? And do I let them know that I already applied? I’m sure they get tons of messages so what should I say so that it won’t be overlooked?Im currently unemployed and very eager to get an entry level position in either HR, Marketing, or Project/Program Coordinator in the tech field, so any advice is greatly appreciated.
