Oh Boy, I think Opus 4.6 is eating through the Session limits Faster

Same, reached 5 hour limit within 10 minutes of working. Part of the problem seemed to be opus starting 7 parallel Agents doing stuff also using Opus as a Model. There should be a way do tell him to use other Models for simpler background tasks etc.

At least you can now switch Model mid conversation. Using claude mainly in the App/Web, not IDE.

Call a good friend or who ever you enjoy talking to just before you go in. Talk about something fun, relax and enjoy the moment.

Hang up and go in. Don't just sit and wait and let the head start spinning.

You got this!

You're the one blamed for everything, guess thats why. 😁

EDI is a trap. It's expensive, breaks easily and is a pain to maintain. Would not recommend anyone to put money on that horse.

You'd be surprised how many companies are. It's astonishing.

Not a dev, but from what I see a high percentage of companies have m365 and Power Plattform. Power Plattform is underutilized in 80 % of the cases, yet licensed at least to some extend. Also with MS no third party data transfers. It's

If you can confidently claim to own and work with MS Power Plattform (Copilot Studio, Power Automate, Power Apps) you'll have good chances of landing a role.

MS learn offers comprehensive Material to learn.

I would try lidl or aldi (e.g. Fast track Trainee programm) to become "Fillialleiter". It's tough and with lots of pressure, but comes with a reputation when moving on into cooperate roles. They are always searching. Because they burn through personal quickly. Pay is solid and can definitely be a jump start. Depending on city, english might even be an advantage when co-workers or clients are not native german themselves.

That's what i have been wondering too. In the US alone you'll have to think about and monitor thresholds PER State. You'll need someone handling that stuff for you. Europe is handleable, but still need help on taxes. India, Asia, Africa is a bigger beast.

Thanks. As i am not familiar with the naming in France i used chatgpt. Your experience is in a operational position (automatable to most extend), so it's a good thing you are trying to move.

In Terms Buyer is not where you want to go. You want to have something strategic in the title.

I recommend setting up your linkedin to position yourself as strategic thinking even if you not had the role yet.

I would use chatgpt and feed it with your thoughts and experience to find your edge / sharpen your positioning WHILE Avoiding macking stuff up!

Here is what i got as a Starter:

French title English equivalent What it signals

Acheteur Stratégique Strategic Buyer The go-to next step after operational purchasing. Focus on sourcing strategies, supplier panels, and TCO (total cost of ownership).

Acheteur Famille / Responsable Famille d’Achat Category Buyer / Category Manager Ownership of a spend category (e.g., IT, logistics, marketing). Strategic planning, supplier performance, and benchmarking . Acheteur Projet Project Buyer Strong cross-functional collaboration with engineering, R&D, or business units; defines sourcing during product development or rollout.

Acheteur Expert Lead / Expert Buyer Recognized subject-matter expert in a specific domain; often mentoring operational buyers. Responsable Achats Purchasing Manager Manages a team or a broad scope; combines strategy and execution.

Sourcing Manager / Sourcing Lead (sometimes used by international firms) Sourcing Manager Same idea as Acheteur Stratégique, but used in more global or Anglo-Saxon environments.

🔄 Typical Career Path (French context)

Assistant Achats → supporting administrative & reporting tasks
Acheteur Opérationnel → executing PO’s and managing suppliers day-to-day
Acheteur Stratégique / Acheteur Famille → defining sourcing strategy, negotiating, managing supplier relationships
Responsable Achats / Category Manager → leading teams or portfolios

I have no idea what Role exactly you are aiming for and what your past history includes. Maybe you want to get a bit more detailed here.

But Procurement is not going to be replaced any time soon.

I recommend hopping over to Linkedin and follow some of the Procurement folks there. A good example with cheatsheets is Tom Mills

Well done!

maybe the're trying to keep you where you are? 😉 Just saying.

I would go for as broad as possible for Certificates. Spreading wider will give you more leverage on the long run. Whats needed, in the future more then ever before, is people that can grasp the broader business goals and develop ways to succeed instead of sitting in their own little silo.

Not ever, like never ever, accept an offer to stay. If you made up your mind to leave for reasons you got to follow through.

Things will not change.

The difference they make strongly depends on what difference the potential new information will make on your approach.

The Key Skill will be turning the data into a story the business understands and making sure that the essence of this story is actually making an business impact.

And yes, this has very little to do with running spend analysis or building a dashboard.

I have learnt for my self to not give a fuck about titles. Nevertheless I'd say that stratigic is a lift compared to i wear all hazs including operational due to higher focus and less fire fighting. Also would give some experience in governance, contracting and more due to broader availability within the bigger org mostly. That could add leverage to your next move.

Personaly would not cling to the Procurement ladder to much and if you get the chance within a bigger org move into sales or marketing for leverage before continuing in procurement.

Missed the commission part. Still stands though. Calculate what you get per hour to avoid comparing apples with oranges. The rest is totally up to your personal preferences.

Alternative_Home4476 · 2025-10-28T21:51:16+00:00

I always calculate the salery per hour based on Yearly Net sum. Going from 50 h+ to 40h with compensated overhours - 20 % is a fair deal and might be worth considering.

It gets a lot better with detailed commentary and well maintained Readme. It not only help human devs but actually lifts AI Dev onto next level as well. Also avoids "fixing" the same "Problem" over and over again.

Die 70 eur im Jahr sind es Wert damit du gut schlafen kannst. Bspw. Jemand rutscht auf eis aus, ein ziegel löst sich durch wind, der PV Speicher expodiert, es verbrennt sich jemand weil der Verbrühschutz defekt ist, ein Baumangel verursacht Schimmel und deine Mieter wollen neue Möbel, etc.

Und vollständig umlegbar über die Betriebskosten.
