What's the difference between being a lone(loan) staff and indentured servitude? I'll tell you. There is none. #fuckingkillmepls #thisclientsucks

Better being the fat fish in the pond or a small fish in the ocean?

Anyone have the Jabra headphones? Are they worth it to purchase with the firm discount or wait until we get them for free?

Who was around in 2008/2009 at big 4? Specifically in advisory? How were those practices affected during the layoffs? Any insight to ease some of the worry/unknown would be greatly appreciated.

I am sure it’s been asked 100 times but humor me please. Best office chair to add to the good I’m doing with a stand up desk? Lol.

Would love to stay in a reasonable range if possible (800 max)

Are you very serious and wish you were less serious or vice versa?

I have received 3 offers from 3 companies for PM role in the last week with my preferred company offering the least.

I would like to negotiate based on competing offer numbers - what are the things that I should keep in mind when doing so? Anything that I should be of? Like should or should I not share the actual offer letter? Etc?

Not sure if this matters but I have a total of 14YOE with 5 of them in a BA, Sr. BA roles. Started off as a software engineer.

I feel like gay men especially are constantly discriminated against in the workplace. I have been turned down for a promotion, yet again, in favor of a married heterosexual with kids. This has been the story of my career. Have superior experience - stellar reviews - people fighting to get on to my team because our team is great and I treat everyone well. This is so frustrating. Again and again, it’s a culture of parents helping other parents. No gays in upper level mgmt in our office.

Alaska to join Oneworld!!!

Hi All, just moved to Austin TX! Looking to see if anyone has any connections/advice or opportunities at any tech companies specific to sales! 4 years experience in mortgage lending. Thank you in advance!

Curious how many of you live outside of Austin but commute to work within the city? Or if you’re fully remote.

I have friends seeking 2 ACL wristbands for this weekend. They are happy to buy a 3 day pass even though we are halfway through the event haha. Thx.

Any current or former Whole Foods folks who can share a bit about internal culture and benefits? I hear the health insurance is very disappointing, is that accurate?

Recommendations on local Austin sites for home search we are looking to find a rental for 6 months for ex. Sulekha in northeast is pretty common among Indians. Interested in condo/house type living arrangement v/s renting with apartments.

Anyone live in Mueller and recommend their apt complex? (1-bed apts, townhomes not needed)

Friends are telling me it’s super hot in Austin during Summer. Is that really bad? I’m thinking moving to TX, from DC

Is anyone interested in subleasing a 2bd/br apartment (unfurnished) in South Austin May-August? It’s right next to Lady bird lake, pet/handicap friendly. $1903 a month.

Need some advice on renting here in ATX.

Back in May 2021, I rented a property that had sustained damage during the big snow storm. This wasn't disclosed at lease signing. The home leaked every time it rained, mold was found in the home & the LL failed to make repairs that resulted in me falling down a flight of stairs. I moved out& rented an apt for 2 mos before signing a lease on the house I live in now. This house has a serious big problem& I've found mold here too. Continued below

Hi all! I just moved to Austin and know absolutely no one. If you’re in your mid to late twenties and are interested in adding a queer girl to your friend group, let me buy you a drink! Shameless, I know, but you gotta do what you gotta do. My interests include Michigan football, bar hopping, water sports, and real estate 🙂

I do enjoy a Texas sized thunderstorm every now and then 🤠

Moving to Austin near the Samsung fab. Any apartment recommendations?

Are there any good networking groups?

I found an Austin young professionals group, but it’s almost entirely realtors and loan people. Which is fine, but I’m looking for more typical networking professionals groups.

I liked the Project management institute, but I’m looking for more. Either General professional, finance, tech, or healthcare focused ones would be ideal.

I am Digital content producer in Austin, looking for job. Anyone know any company’s hiring at the moment?
