4D Friday vibes 🙏🏼

"People just want it to work" is a thing clients have said about the product the company I work for makes. It's true. And it's all over. I usually think it's because Agile's method is what everyone thinks works but so much stuff across all tech areas seems to be released broken and then never fixed or fixed way too slowly. Anyone else feel this way? Has Agile worked for you and your clients?

So, who wants to vouch for me to Soho House?

I’m going in for a retrieval on Friday. What should I expect after the procedure? Is it reasonable to expect that I should be able to work throughout the day after the procedure?

Seeking feedback on GAP insurance. I had a family member who purchased a car in June or July. They were in an accident last week and it sounds like the car will be declared a total loss. Never dealt with this before, so wanted to ask if anyone has ever had an instance where the insurance didn't cover the outstanding balance of the loan and the insured then owed money? Car was $35k, $7k down, finance $28k. Gap insurance is through lender, not auto insurer.

What's the current hiring situation at Google Silicon?
Are they becoming conservative compared to how they were a month or two ago in the compensation?

Anyone who joined recently/ got an offer recently, please comment.

I have gone through the interview process recently and waiting for HR to get back.

Thanks!

Open to anonymous comments around culture, salary, etc

BLUE YONDER OR EY INDIA Where to join? My priority are work life balance, self growth. Salary is same for both. Genuine suggestion needed.

What is a good interview answer for leaving a job after a few months when the real reason is that you’re sleeping with one eye open in hopes of not being on the chopping block after two rounds of massive layoffs? Company culture is at an all-time low, and it will only go down from here from what I’ve seen in the short months I’ve been there.

Through a lot of comp discussions I heard a lot of talk of “making you whole” when things get better. Am I drinking the kool-aid by believing this? Is this just meant to prevent further questions that the firm does not know the answer to?

Favorite personal development book(s) that changed your perspective and/or life?

Hello all, I have a few questions regarding BA Continuum:

In terms of hierarchy, how many band levels are there at BA Continuum GBS?
What is the current WFH policy and what is the RTO plan?
Those working in GIFT city, how is the campus and what accommodation arrangements are available nearby? Is cab service available?

I’m a rebellious teenager trapped in a 30-year old woman’s body

Sometimes when I make a mistake at work I feel like I am not good enough for the job while other times I take it as “let’s do better next time.” Would love to find a balance between the two feelings.

I am a straight , but I kid you not…

Where’s my K Swiss?

Prefer GOAT or StockX?

Anybody ever use any sneaker repair shops/companies in the NYC area (hell, anywhere is fine)? Looking to re-glue and refresh a pair of Pennies 2's.

How can I get my hands on the "off-white" Virgil Abloh line of sneakers for a decent price ?

Dying to find NMD r_1 triple blacks. Any leads?

StockX shipment notification shows my Nike’s coming from Hong Kong. Should I be worried they’re fakes? (China is where some real ones are made, and some fake ones). They say they’re products are shipped to them and verified but the DHL tracking shows their path direct from Hong Kong to me in USA.
