DAVID The Agency

Is anyone working with/does anyone have any recruiter recommendations in NYC? My LinkedIn has about 100 different messages from all different ones...trying to narrow it down.

Anyone know what “the Skype incident” was at some firm?

Curious to go client side at a gaming company; Nintendo is the dream. If anyone is in this space and willing to chat, I’d love to connect.

Married 🐟! Do you actually make a thing out of Valentine's Day? I feel like we did that when it was young love. Flowers and making dinner at home sounds great.

I was laid off from a resource management role, working with employees approaching or on the bench, working with managers to staff projects, and support functions like report creation, scheduling, etc. Roles like this are few and many large consulting firms have frozen internal hiring. Do you think it would be beneficial to get a SHRM cert? Would that help get a "talent related" HR role? Worth the money? I have a background in recruitment as well.

CSR vs AmEx Platinum vs Costco Citi ??

Microsoft is like anti Midas. Everything it touches turns to shit. Take Skype or linked in for example🤔

How do you roll off a project where you are close with the partner but the M and SC create a toxic work environment? The partner is very hands off, but knows about what's going on.

Sometimes I wonder why people hate their job. It’s not the best obviously but you could be doing something much worse and get paid way less than now. #begreatfull

Does this mean there will be riots and I can fly home a day early? Stay safe, America

I had a slow day today. I.e. I had a relaxing day with intermittant fits of anxiety about getting fired.

F fish here—I’m trying to be a better online dater. what are people’s strategy for online dating? How many ppl do you match vs talk to vs meet up? What are the best apps/date avenues? I find it hard to talk/go on dates with my matches cause I’m not a great texter and I’m not really feeling interested in people’s profiles (in person is way more interesting to me but I’m trying to be flexible with covid).

I present myself as always being happy but little does anyone know that depression is eating me up inside. My self esteem is the lowest it’s ever been and I don’t really have any friends. I’m so lonely.
