+1 if you still use your Verizon bridge because Skype for Business sucks (and Skype for Business has already been confirmed by MS that they're killing it off for MS Teams, smh)

Hi All,

Has anyone ever had to do the second step of an interview over slack? It was a legitimate company not a scam. The person I would be working with said the second interview after an assignment was over slack. They asked me in the first interview about my writing skills. They said since it's a remote company most people I'd never speak with directly and everything would be asynchronous through slack. Is this typical?

Anyone have tips for proper slack etiquette or resources to share?

Is there a Slack community for administrative professionals?

How to convince HR that you'll join her organization even though you've another offer in hand :p ? Looks like water is quite muddy these days and HRs are willing to take a sign on bond paper before releasing offer letter :p

Hey folks,
I have been interviewed by 'FEI System', USA. But the offer letter which I have received is from a different company, 'Husys Consulting' Hyderabad.
When I asked them the reason behind this, they told me that FEI System has no physical presence in India, so 'Husys Consulting' hire on behalf of FEI System to meet legal compliance.
From the offer letter, it looks like it is third-party hiring. Should I accept this offer?
Any help would be appreciated.

This post is possibly in the wrong bowl, but I couldn't figure out where to post this. I'm getting inundated with requests from people randomly walking in the halls or stopping by my desk asking me for this report or just any other task. I'm looking for a way to keep better track of these things as asking people to send me an email on it as a reminder isn't working - they're not sending it - yet they manage to come back around to get a status update on their ask. Any tips on how to manage?

During the great resignation, many are moving onward and upward.
Boutique -> Big 4 -> MBB -> FAANG

So the people that left FAANG, where are they going?

I've been in the world of consulting for several years; amazed at how much more analysts and others feel the need to be constantly utilized. Seeing posts about how holidays impact the metric (cont'd)

Would you move to another country for a FAANG product manager role? I would be leaving all my family and friends but wouldn’t have this opportunity in home country (and it would be a good experience)

Consulting bowl I need your advice tonight. 5 YOE in corp finance (industry). Just got an offer for different finance (still industry) role - 50% raise to $165K TC plus two additional direct reports to me. However, I got my MBA to transition to consulting and am in beginning stages of two top consulting firms. I need to give an answer on the offer by tomorrow afternoon. What do I do? If I expedite the consulting firms processes they may (likely will) say no. Thanks
