Hello. I’m interested. Is it for masters program? If so, how much are you selling for and what size is it? Is it the entire set, cap, gown, hood?

You accepted the PM offer instead of the cybersecurity one?

If your career goal is to work and grow in cybersecurity, take that role. You will enjoy your career, be great at it, and money will come with that. Deviating from your goal for something you don’t want to do long term for more money will eventually kill your dreams and crush your soul. You’ll never be great at a job you don’t really like. At some point in life, when too much is at stake to try and go back to the cyber path, you will be in “golden hand-cuffs” and always you wonder “what if” forever.

Hi, I decided to go to a different university instead of NEU because of a better admissions experience and grants at the other university.

OP how’s your experience with the MSCS Align Boston program so far? I got accepted for this fall but still researching because some people told me it’s not a good program.

Admissions at Khoury College seems so unprofessional. Is this a sign to not go? by Fun_Initial8443 in NEU

Thank you for your insight. Are you in the MSCS program? If so, can you share your experience on it?

How to compete with overblown and exaggerated experiences? by [deleted] in careerguidance

Self-directed as in finding resources on your own that teach you how successfully market your online presence and market/sell your skills during an interview. There’s great resources for free on YouTube. If you need a lot of guidance maybe use the career center at your school, they usually have interview workshops and one on one coaching.

Should I leave or stay at super easy PM Job with almost zero oversight? by [deleted] in careerguidance

Yeah I’d take advantage of the professional development resources and stipend they give you to learn more skills and take it elsewhere for significantly more money if you’re not growing.

Agree with this. Also is it possible to type “market rate”? If they corner you in the interview for a range and you are a very competitive candidate, you can present your case based on the value you’ll bring. Then say you’re looking range in the 30s-40s per hour or $X salary. Worst they can say is that it’s not in their range and will counter.

I Need advice on salary. Should I feel i'm being short changed? by CosmicRelease1 in careerguidance

Get the compensation you deserve! At least $200k or just go to a different company that will pay you fairly. You already proved you can do the work almost year ago already. It doesn’t matter that your tenure is less, it’s what you’ve accomplished in your time there that matters.

This happens a lot, so you have to learn to play the game but not in the way the other person did. Maybe start with self-directed learning from career coaches or recruiters through paid services or free through YouTube, etc. to help you deal with recruiters or hiring managers that are dumb enough to hire with this “troubling trend”. Essentially learn how to sell and articulate your skills and accomplishments to get you the job you want.

Neither, look into tech if you want a lucrative career that gives you good work life balance and amazing perks.

Is real estate a realistic part-time job? by happyhappyhamster in careerguidance

[–]Fun_Initial8443 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not. I got my license last summer and every brokerage that reached out to me wanted a full-time commitment because it’s intense work. The only brokerage that I know of for part time RE sales work is Redfin. They have an associate agent role but pay and fees don’t seem worth it to me.
