When an interviewer asks you to summarize your resume and you’ve been at 5+ consulting companies, what level do you tell the story? I want to touch on accomplishments and maybe one complicated project at each but I feel like it’s lengthy.

Talk about the path you took and the Why.
Why did you choose your progression at each step and how does that lead to here. Then finish with what you are excited by hoping to learn here and how its a stepping stone to the next phase of your career.
Practice and perfect that into a 2 minute succinct answer that sounds logical, and inspiring.
That's what they are looking for. It's as much a summary of your path, your accomplishments, a view into your journey, as it is a test of your communication skills, mindset, and ability to influence.

I’m inheriting a “team” of siloed strong individual developers who are on different work streams and are very jaded and struggling with motivation. Most are contractors.

Any suggestions for remote team-building that won’t just be shrugged off with cynicism, or worse, ignored?

Looking for recommendations on Azure learning and certifications, specifically learning tracks for Systems Administrators and Engineers. I'm specifically looking for the MS equivalent of a VMware VCP course/certs.

If you have a learning course or books you'd recommend I'd appreciate your feedback. 🙂

What are some side gigs people have done that they wouldn't pursue again today? Are there any you'd still go for, but would approach completely differently?

Thinking along the lines of:
- Platforms you'd keep away from
- Gigs that people have missed the boat on by now or instead that have just taken off only now
- Specific hustles that aren't worth the upfront cost/hassle in setting up or that are super hard to hire for
- Policies/attitudes you'd adopt going into things this time around

For context, they were hired 12 months ago, gave them a promotion 6 months later because of staffing and they were performing well. Now it’s in their head that they get promoted every 6 months.

A recruiter at another B4 gave me a number much lower than what I’m currently making. Should I tell them how much im making now, which is admittantly at the very top of the SC band, or counter with a range that’s more than I’m making? I hesitate to just throw out current salary + 20% bc I’d be asking for almost $190k for a SC role and I know that would be quite a huge ask for a SC @ B4, even for tech
