I went through this and had to settle for a commission only sales job and now I am a call center rep

The creature you're competing against is a pathetic job market. The other day the news came out that the unemployment rate was the highest it's been in four years, and those old numbers were because of the pandemic. There's just too much chaos and uncertainty in the economy and companies are hesitant to add to their payrolls. Let's hope 2026 sees some kind of relief from this lunacy.

Thanks for sharing

Also would the life science boutiques reasonably pay more than that?

Hello All, my joining date needs to be extended by 5 days in JPMC and HR said in call that no revised offer letter based on new joining date will be issued and new joining date confirmation will be somewhat communicated prior to 3 days of onboarding.
However he mentioned he will reply back with a confirmation email on top of the email which I have sent requesting for revised joining date.
Do you see any risk of offer cancellation/revocation here?

Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with discrimination as an Asian in the workplace? In my company it seems like it’s a white boys club where and they just promote white ppl because they’re white. And then they have a lower bar for promotions for minorities (traditional minorities likes Hispanics and African Americans). Meanwhile they make Asians do all the work. I am not generalizing that this is how it is everywhere but it definitely is that way in my workplace. Any advice?
