R&R Partners Discussions

Hello! I am reaching out for any insight on best employee engagement ideas to spruce up morning meetings in the office. Open to any ideas - Thank you!

Anyone sit for the aPHR exam? If so, what materials did you use? What was the time commitment? Switched from a traditional accounting/finance role into HR, and wanted to get one cert under my belt! Any advice would be really helpful!

I had multiple interviews with a few different people at prospective company. External recruiter says that the most recent interviewer (boss) is extremely excited about me and said “it couldn’t have gone any better”. He also sets the final interview with the ultimate decision maker for later next week.

The person I interviewed with then emails me to say they really enjoyed speaking with me, but to be patient as they still have more people to interview before they decide on next steps…

Any freelance animator/editor suggestions in NYC to make a sizzle reel stronger ?

Hi folks-

How do my American HR professionals handle PTO with a dispersed team across various states (different state laws on carry over etc).
Is a flexible approach the way to go around it? if so, what's the minimum required to eliminate any need to carry over?
Websites/guides/ any material is greatly appreciated!! :)

How does everyone feel about the online SHRM learning for SHRM-CP and SHRM-SCP for Certification?
Do you skip around? Do you follow the path? Where does one start?

Has anyone started working with or for their client after being laid off from a job where they for example ran that account at an agency? Is it dicey legally, did it piss off your old agency? Did no one care?

Are the newer subway ads using like a knockoff Charles Barkley VO? Never thought I'd hear mumbling so nasally

Has anyone transitioned from direct sales to indirect (channel, solutions consulting, etc.)? I’m an Enterprise AM currently (6+ years of total closing experience in SaaS) but looking to make a change sometime in the next 18-24 months. Certainly expecting to sacrifice financial upside but growing tired of the grind.

Any thoughts on the best certifications to get in order to help move forward? I have considered the CCP from World at Work, but it’s fairly pricey to get by the time you wrap up everything. I was looking at both SHRM-CP and SPHR. Everyone that I have spoken to has the SHRM, but that’s also only looking at individuals in a small geographic footprint and within 3-4 different companies. I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks

I keep hiring sales people who are super enthusiastic and overpromising on what they deliver. I put them through a trial month (no base + commission only) and they do not close a single deal, Even though the commission structure is amazing and I’m incentivizing them through the roof. We experienced sales people are asking for a base and commission but I’m scared that I’ll end up having a base and the same thing will end up happening. What am I doing wrong?

Hi all! Can anyone provide insight to pay range for a sales director for real estate? Roughly 60 agents. It would be helpful to know a base and OTE. Thanks I’m advance, happy to connect!

Anyone willing to take a minute to look at/critique my resume? I’m looking for mid level Talent Acquisition positions. Would greatly appreciate it!!

Any advice on how to handle an ECD in charge of your salary who says the only way to get a promotion or even a COL raise of any kind is through winning an award? Not consistently reliable and solid performance. Not keeping the client happy and profitable. “You either win an award, or all ya get is to keep your job.”
And yes, I’m aware leaving is always an option, but eager for any other advice how to navigate.

Can I feasibly switch to journalism without having to go back to school? And how can I do that?

Hi! Would anyone be down to connect to help me get started with applications? Any general advice on here would be super helpful as well. Thank you!

Anyone following the Try Guys drama today? I still can’t believe it. Been watching those guys since their buzzfeed days. Really sad

Thinking of doing a semester abroad at LBS. Anyone know if it's as big of a party as US schools?

Left a job before COVID-19 and wanted to take some time to figure out what’s next. Now I feel the need to find something (anything). Any wisdom for someone who doesn’t even know what they want to do?!

Where to poach digital partners from? My Americas team is growing fast. Best fit is people tired of pure digital strategy/advisory who want a high caliber build capability so they can bring ideas to life for clients. What firms have digital-experienced partners looking for that kind of move?

Anyone work in BAAM client solutions at Blackstone? Would love to connect!

I’m joining PwC Advisory from another Big 4. Anything I should watch out for, prepare for, or consider especially? Thanks!

What’s the scoop on the new agency 21Grams?

Hi all! I work in digital marketing / organic social. For those in organic social what platform do you use for scheduling posts, analytics, UGC, managing influencers etc? We currently use bizzare voice/curalate. I work for a national retail brand so we are posting 2x a day with tons of UGC and in house content. Your thoughts and opinion are appreciated with all platforms! :)

I bought 3 investment properties in the last year because all of my friends were also buying and the housing market was supposed to keep going up. Unfortunately none of them is positive cash flow. Early this year my wife quit her job as we are expecting our third child. My job is also at risk. Is there a way to pause mortgage payments for a few years?
I would take a pretty big loss if I were to try and sell the properties because of closing costs. 1 of the 3 is already underwater.

How do you find a therapist? Just general. Do you have to get a doctors referral? I'm Canadian FWIW.

Standing desk, exercise ball, desk treadmill, desk spin bike, traditional sitting desk with ergonomic chair, other or combo. What set-up has worked best for you to avoid cramps and soreness?

Investment focused professionals, trying to get a feel for what you do primarily "home office meetings" verse "kitchen table" type meetings. And does it vary by the company you work for....

Hi Team

I have an offer from Barclay's and the Fiserv. Having 9 years of exp.both are offering the same package , so considering long term association which one is better to join?

For new joiners, is it onsite onboarding already in India?

I don't understand what kind of experimental calculations are done for hikes this time, pathetic leadership and HR partners.
No one would be working with enthusiasm anymore 😕

At a small start up. I like the work/coworkers. I work closely w/ CEO.
I do a lot of admin work. My struggle is CEO has ADHD. He’s open about it & I’m learning to work with needs/quirks. Because admin minutia bores him, I can’t get him to focus on vital tasks. Plus, he doesn’t appreciate all the work I put in to help him because he’s never done it himself. I’m trying HARD to avoid anxious attachment, but ingratitude is messing with my self esteem and my sense of value here. Tips on ADHD boss?
