For sure-when a client says “if that man is in office for another four years I’m leaving this country/hanging myself/jumping off a cliff/etc. right?” And you smile and nod

Hi Fishes, what is your approach of value adding to your project on top of regular work? By the way I am a test lead(automation) and have 11 yoe in a product company.

Hey FishBowl Friends, so I’m currently trying to break into tech sales/FinTech and I feel that due to my previous work history, I might not look like the ideal candidate on paper but I’m an extremely fast learner and very coachable.

I really want something that’s remote and steady, any recommendations on how to spruce myself up?

I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?
