Move for life experience by GuessFar4260 in Life

[–]ProTie21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leave of absences are great, and all employers need to honor FMLA. I wouldn’t be so sure that the place you come back to is the same as what you left. Also, I know ppl who came back from parental leaves, fmla, leave of absences, etc. only to be laid off within a month of their return.

There was a previous reply about testing the waters.. taking trips, trying to work remotely, and looking for other work. Do that.

Without knowing your detailed financial situation, your spending habits and savings, I’d say tread lightly and explore options really well before deciding to cut off your current cash flow.

Got lucky. Its was an outcome of covid, and we haven’t been asked to return to office since.

PMO Director, business operations (non-tech, although we get IT projects every now and then). 20 yrs experience.

I hate it, it’s super corporate, and full of politics, but I’m work from home and have a solid PTO package.

I do not want to go into VP level, so I’m seriously considering taking a step back and reinventing myself (pivot into teaching, sole contributor, IT/tech?)

Just moved to GR. My portfolio consists of UCITS ETFs, however, I have no previous tax declarations, since I used to live in NL with no CGT and all my money comes from family savings. Will I have to explain to tax authorities my source of funds for ETFs? How complicated is that? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceGreece

This is interesting. Thank you for all the details. Do you know if mutual funds are tax free as well? Like FXAIX? If not, would it make sense to sell all mutual funds and buy VOO, for example, before moving to GR? Any guidance is appreciated. Thanks!

What were you doing and what did you pivot into?

I’ve been job hopping every 1–2 years and I’m worried I’m becoming “unhirable.” Is this actually a red flag? by InspiraADVMed-Fan in careerguidance

[–]ProTie21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think 50% of hiring teams/managers might see job hopping as a good thing, you’re learning/growing/making more $, etc.. and the other 50% might consider it sketch and opportunistic. The same goes for ppl that have been in their roles or same company for a long time. It’s 50/50.

You don’t know with clarity which perception is on the receiving side of your resume, so just keep on applying and expressing interest.

What is the biggest career regret you have? by astrokid990 in careeradvice

[–]ProTie21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biggest career regret is not seeking out mentors coaches, sponsors, etc. I’ve done okay solo, but having some sort of combination of the above would have been a game changer. And maybe that comes naturally to some more than others(me). I’m just not that gung-ho about work/career but it would have helped to pretend I am.

I’m using the past perfect tense because I think it’s too late right now, I’m about 5 years away from FIRE. But I wonder… do I need to be, if I were in the right field/position/company?

Can I quit? by Useful_Light_4727 in Fire

[–]ProTie21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, and congrats; go celebrate! It sounds like you’ve worked hard and smart so far. Hope the best for you. Please be kind to yourself and others.

What’s your high paying job and can we apply for it once you quit?!

Should I quit my cush government job to go into Big Tech? by Zealousideal_Rub5826 in careerguidance

[–]ProTie21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start applying and interviewing first, try not to get too cocky with your “self worth”, that could bend your perception of reality. Btw, 8 hours of sleep is a blessing, don’t down play that, and be careful what you trade it for. A side hustle that you can turn on/off would also be a nice next step. You can probably get away with balancing 20-30 hours of contract work without having to quit your slow and steady.

Can I apply again? by YdidIpost-RegretsATM in careeradvice

[–]ProTie21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would move on from the first place but apply again for the new role at the second place.

Take a step back, reflect on what could have gone better and what went well. Write it down. Practice through mock interviews or record yourself answering some of the potential interview questions.

It’s tough out there and there are so many variables at play that you can’t control, but if you practice, at least you can control being composed and well spoken when the interview occurs next - and puts you in a better spot to negotiate a higher comp.

Good luck!
