Men's quilted vest recommendations?

I will be in school full time starting April next year. Does it make sense for me to contribute 19k into my Roth 401k account between January and March next year considering my tax rate next year will be nearly 0?

I’ve try to decide if I should pursue my career in a government or city job. Does anyone know which is better a career in a private sector or a government job ?

New/pivoting into HR! 👋 Currently working as a TA Coord with a little entry level work in HR Ops prior to this. Is there a SHRM link, reliable test, or method of shadowing the various parts of HR that will provide a sample of the work, thinking, and day to day experience of each group? I didn’t go to school for HR and therefore haven’t had the opportunity to sample HR Ops. vs. TA vs. Comp vs. Benefits vs. Payroll, etc. I know work experience is the best barometer, but what can supplement this?

I9 verification support needed:

Can an employee use a Virginia Criminal Justice Agency Offender Information Form for the i9? USIC website says “The ID document listed first in List B does not have to be a driver's license - it can be any government-issued ID card, even a parolee's ID card if the date of birth, gender, height, eye color, and address are on it.” But it’s a certified FORM not ID card. Thoughts?

I’m a relatively new AE at my company but only 1/3 hit quota and 1/3 of those people hit POE+. Is it worth it to stay? We’re about to hit the “busiest” month but with everything going on in the world right now I don’t see it picking up. What do you all recommend?

Hello Everyone! Had a discussion yesterday regarding “claw backs” being included in a policy for sponsorship if the new employee leaves before 3 years. It was a declining percentage over a three year period. My POV was that it wasn’t something I’ve ever done and didn’t seem like they were sure of the hire they were making. I get wanting to save costs but at the same time doesn’t feel inclusive or welcoming. Thoughts? Have you done this or seen it work? Thanks!

I know Mck is the top for strategy, but in terms of digital/design in top consulting firms which do you think is better? Mckinsey digital or deloitte digital? (Or another..?)

How do you work 2 remote jobs? I’ve seen many posts about doing this and finding success. I am interviewing for a remote basic inside sales rep but also have an actual AE job where I’d be in office two days a week. What are some tips and tricks here? Also, how do you deal with LinkedIn having 2 jobs?

As a student in the final year with professional experience in accounting, i think about dropping into software sales. I got an offer for 68k€ annually (Big4 ususally 55k€ offers). Especially as a young person, i wonder if learning opportunities are good in software sales. What do you think?

To all laid off consultants...want to start our own firm? 😏 😎

Looking for some advice here. Experienced sales person, with a goal of moving into tech. I’ve had a number of interviews in the last week and into this week/next. (Just started applying). Anyway, I’ve also went through an interview process with a great company in my current field. They’re going to make an offer and it’s going to be a good raise over my current position. But, I just don’t feel compelled, I truly want to move industries. It feels weird to turn down a great offer for the unknown

I’m an HR Generalist. My job is a mix of recruitment and Employee Relations. I find the recruitment aspect to be pretty enjoyable and stress free, but the Employee Relations aspect does often give me a lot of anxiety (I’m a very anxious person to begin with). Recently, it’s been worse because I have several ER cases currently that seem like they could be potentially turning into lawsuits. Do others in ER experience these anxieties? If so, how do you manage them?

I was very successful as an internaional sales exec at a startup for 15 years before we were bought by a large publicly traded company. The culture shift was dramatic, as was the way that I was expected to work. I was laid off a tortuous 3 years after the buyout.

While I was in some ways relieved (put me out of my misery!) I spiralled pretty hard and after a while started working PT jobs, gig type stuff, etc. while I figured things out, and healed from burnout.

Hi Fish,

Any feedbacks would be highly appreciated!
Thanks

Considering moving to Houston, TX for a job. Has anyone moved there for a position or live there currently? How is it? Is it a good city for a young professional?

I thought I found the perfect position in March but I was let go today. I was blindsided. Never a complaint, my reviews were excellent and I got along well with the owners. My only issue was the PEO not speaking with me and going directly to the owners with her agenda. I asked ownership to work with me and I would pull the PEO in, if necessary. Apparently, they have a longstanding friendship and he does not think of them as a vendor as a friend. She suggested a on-site PEO rep and out I go!

Looking for recommendations on benefits including pet insurance, gyms and/or student loan repayment. Anyone work with a vendor they can recommend?
