Would you ever go back to a company that laid you off? Mine just reached out about a new role, same manager, same team. Part of me wants to laugh, but another part misses the work. I can’t decide if it’s growth or weakness to even consider it.

How about pay? Ask for 20% higher salary. You were just a number to them, they can be just a (better) number for you now.

I had a 3rd party recruiter reach out to me about returning to the Big Tech cloaca that laid me off. I was willing to entertain the possibility as the work is easy AF and as a contractor, I’d be free to not care about performance reviews, internal politics, etc.

But the recruiter disappeared like a fart in the wind.

Oh well.

I would not.

I’ll go first - 10 YOE, 180K + 20% + $250K in options, Atlanta, and PE backed $100M company. TIA!

Hi guys,

I switched 20 days back to Optum. I have 7 years of experience working as a full stack Engineer, who is passionate working on both front end and back end on latest technologies. But my project is working only on back end with 10 years old tech stack. There is no front end work at all. What should I do?
I don't like working here at all, but I am not sure whether moving out again in a month will give bad Impression on my resume. Hence please give me advice on this situation

Hi all, looking for advice.

I'm a technical writer with background in the hardware and healthcare industry. What would be a better option for me, pivoting into software tech writing or project management.

Which one pays better/is better (any advice appreciated, must be fully remote role)

If software tech writing, does anyone have advice on how to break into a role or learn what it takes to become one?

For PM, I got a cert (not PMP) and am trying to decide which of these two I go with.
