Higher education/workforce development. Director, which in this role would be under a principal and senior director.
Good luck; I've got no specifics to advise in that space, but generally I would be prepared with 3-5 pretty solid PAR/STAR style answers. Demonstrate that you can concisely tell a story and show the impact you have had to driving projects forward. You will be able to mold your prepared answers to whatever questions they ask.
You can use the LLM’s to simulate interviews to practice. Can also plug in LinkedIn profiles of who might be interviewing you to have it be closer to reality.
The consulting industry is in bad shape rn. Lots of layoffs have happened the past year and more are coming. I know KPMG is about do (may have already) another round of layoffs. McKinsey just laid off 3,000 people. I wouldn’t make the move If you aren’t 100% confident in the new company.
I believe they went the pip route bc they caught hell after laying off 2k people last year this time. They severely over hired due to the insane post Covid demand
Digitization of textbooks/curriculum/learning apps and platforms and education tools. Was already taking off before schools were shut down for the pandy and now it’s over-saturated and flooded with bad ideas repackaged as innovation.
Idk, but they have 45k ppl and a pretty "up or out" culture. I'd if 7% of your work force is really truly some mass layoff play
Ok but not this. This is more working with LEAs, postsecondary institutions/systems, and state agencies to implement policy and facilitate relationships with business and industry.
Have you considered a connectivity platform driven by real time data for your constituents to monitor progress and address outcome shortfalls?
Wife has a mandatory company wide Teams meeting that started at 6 so we are drinking wine and cooking dinner with it on. The guy speaking got on to the group of 900+ participates for someone not being muted so now someone keeps muting him.
What's the protocol for applying for an internal position on another team? Just let your manager know prior to applying?
How’s your manager? I just did this and since mine sucks I found the recruiter and spoke to them first about the process. Didn’t have to notify my boss until I got the gig.
Our supervisors/managers get an email whenever a direct report applies for an internal position. The application process specifically says to inform them you're applying before doing so, no way to hide it.
A 5 minute phone call to your boss beforehand will suffice. Assuming it's viewed as a promotion it should be a very easy call unless your boss is a piece of shit
Boss is the man. Just been on the same team for 5 years and ready for a change. Also a little peeved I didn’t get promoted recently, but that’s through no fault of my current boss.
Boss’ job should be to help you accomplish your goals so it should be fine if that’s the kinda person you’re working for.
any former teachers in here that have changed careers? Was looking at trying to get into some type of role in the insurance industry, but no luck so far.
those have been the two I’ve been applying for. Seems like they all want 1-2 years of previous experience. Only one that I’ve received interest has been WC which sounds like hell. Any tips on how I can standout on underwriter apps?
It could depend on culture but my company is very open about wanting people to move around. So it’s entirely normal to just let your boss know you’re applying and more than likely your boss has also moved internally. So the conversation is easy. but what you don’t want to have happen under any circumstance is for your new gig to ask your current boss about you and have that completely blindside your current boss. They need to hear it from you. So I would mention the role and that you are interested. Unless your boss sucks then they will likely support you.
Getting converted from hourly with 1.5x OT to salary. They’re jumping the salary a bunch to reflect the ot I have typically worked. I don’t expect for that to be a 1:1, but what % of that historical OT $ do you think I should be aiming for?
Are you moving in to a different position or is it the same position just now salaried? And if it's the latter can you just stay hourly?
Same position. No choice in the matter, just need to negotiate the salary they are going to put me at. We’re reworking some of our experience positions to salary to better align with what hiring would require of experience people, which we typically haven’t done but are trying to do more of. Edit: I technically am at the highest position I can have and I control disbursing a large portion of my bonus structure.
I'm not sure what the correct answer should be, but maybe find out what the most OT you had to work in one year and then add a little extra and use that number.
that seems ambitious but maybe a good initial offer. I’d probably be happy landing somewhere around 80% of the busiest year with hopes of increasing TMB time and/or quiet quitting over time
Yeah there is a fair line that is certainly not the full OT. I ran some numbers last night and o think they are a little low. It’s also fun they tell me this a day before we do payroll and after I just busted ass with back to back 60hrs the last two weeks and have been averaging 50+ hour weeks for the year.
I got them to go up some from where they initially landed. The way I’m looking at it is, 5% raise, then added about 70% of the average OT I’ve worked the last 9 years. Pretty fair in my estimation and the expectation for my roll is to have a gradual transition out of having to work that much and do more managing.
