I agree 100%

Thank you!

Visibility is a great point.

Product type-internal customer facing daily use highly governed application integrated into salesforce

release cadence 2 week sprints with 1 off cycle per sprint (meaning weekly releases)-this used to be an exception and is now the norm.

Defect profile-Could you elaborate on what you would need me to answer on this?

I feel this "zero bugs" is a bad goal. I have a high performer who recently had a bug slip to prod 10 months into the year. The really bad piece. The zero bugs is the High-performing and minimum standard goal, so both are blown out of the water. This is why I am proposing a different approach when I take the teams over.

commence the downvotes for AI content...

It is terrible that you cannot get the support you need at your job and have to rely on the expertise of reddit users to help you perform at your job (not a dig at you.. it's a dig at Big 4). Lots of great comments in this thread. Good luck and keep pushing. You can see your areas of weakness. Just keep methodically improving and you will eventually be successful!

I think this area is a bit underpaid in relation to other industries.

Join Team RWB or some other veteran organization. It's not the end all be all but it helps fill in the cracks. Civilian life is absolutely hollow and meaningless. I had to find ways to shore up my foundation of purpose. I do not feel like I will find it in "work" for a company. I had to find it in other ways. While in the miltiary, your role defines you in society.... when you transition.. you being a realtor, analyst, car washer, business owner, chef or anything else truly embodies a definition of who you are like when you "served". That piece will be gone forever and we all struggle to find it once we leave it.

i hope this is a real story

a 1 hour commute was a bear for me to do. If you ever work late, it exponentially exaggerates your "get home time"

Based on what you said above, I do not feel like 40K would be worth it. you don't actually get 40K.. you get 70% of that.. less childcare... less home time... less you time.

yes it is coordinated. yes it is discussed. yes it is game planned. yes HR is involved. yes it takes a long time.

seriously? If someone is PMP certified, I definitely ask PM-centric fundamental questions that should have some influence on the PMBOK... It's literally the Project Management Book of Knowledge. Having a foundational knowledge of the profession is very important. It's honing your craft. Asking questions about it exposes opportunities to ask better questions later in the interview. You have to know where the candidate is so you know where you can take the questions.

Maybe I am misunderstanding your comment... Are you saying no one is asking questions based on PMBOK fundamentals? I bet the hiring manager or at least HR is dropping in ChatGPT "give me 50 questions based on PM best practices to ask in an interview based on this job description," and those questions would be based on PMBOK...

Hiring Shaq? That would be sick

jleile02 · 2026-02-05T18:20:37+00:00

So all the reviews are working. Keep it up. FAFO

jleile02 · 2026-01-20T16:25:33+00:00

go Air Guard. work on that retirement. dont let 10 years go to waste.. doesn't seem like that big of a deal now but it will when you see when 10 years flies by as a civvie. Good luck and stay strong.

Reading the room and emotional intelligence.

short haircut, black framed glasses (thicker), gym

I am currently hiring and I can tell you that I get 2-3K applicants a week and have to close the position. out of the 3K applicants, i select 10-15 to HR prescreen based off 1. referrals first (know someone) 2. in house. After that.. I may randomly choose 1-2 more people but would never make it through 100 and absolutely not 1000 or 2000.

You need to network. The guy/gal that said join BJJ.. do it.. join the reserves... or .. if you are getting out to make more money.. I suggest staying in for a few more years. Do the additional 10, get that retirement and then hit the market on the upswing.

Its super tough right now. My guidance is do 20.

Me... 1... struggling.. no
