DLA was pretty awesome when I was there a few years ago. Good clients and a fun ACN team. I think a lot of that work is dried up now, though. Most of that team has shifted to work with the Army.

Hey FishBowl Friends, so Iโ€™m currently trying to break into tech sales/FinTech and I feel that due to my previous work history, I might not look like the ideal candidate on paper but Iโ€™m an extremely fast learner and very coachable. Iโ€™ve been a manger at a gym, got my degree in finance, worked as a client advisor at a top 3 auto dealer in the nation and now Iโ€™m a project manager at a solar company. I really want something thatโ€™s remote and steady, any recommendations on how to spruce myself up?

Venting. Got hired on FT at a large in-house in NY. Every project I have been assigned to is due immediately, already late, and has no direction. Every project is supremely animation heavy with some hand painted animationsโ€ฆ all out of my wheelhouse. None of this was mentioned in my interviews and no one seems to understand why a video editor does not have experience hand painting animations. Seems like a special skill set that should have been discussed before hiring. Confused and burnt out.

Hi fishes!

I am seeing too many post about awards like rising star, Kudos, etc. People keep telling there managers recommended them for these awards.
My manager doesn't interact much with us. I consider myself as some one who has worked hard for project and other intiatives. Should I ask my manager to consider me and if yes how should I initiate it.
