Op-Ed: As a black man with parents from Africa, I feel like Black people have been receiving reparations for decades now. Any further reparations are most likely going to be a waste of resources and regressive—especially if their fiscal.

I just left a very toxic work place.
The crazy thing is they were just named the best local municipality to work for. It's upsetting. They advertise a "culture" but don'tapply it. It felt like a used car sales pitch, I was sold a dream but given junk. I am constantly replaying moments. I have read so many books and everything leads to they were the problem. How do I recover from this?

My SO has been job hunting on and off for what feels like almost a year now and I can tell he is fizzling out. He’s trying to make a big career change, which requires someone to take a bit of a chance on him. He’s putting in the effort and has gotten so so close a number of times to reaching his goal - just nothing has fully planned out yet. Want to be as supportive as I can be without being pushy

I’m currently working as Help Desk in the IT industry and I’ve been doing tech for about 15 years, but I am currently in school and close to graduating with my Associate’s in Psych.

Any A.A’s graduates that can vouch? 🥺

Looking to make a career pivot and don’t know if I should outright quit and take a breather from work (I have enough savings) to visit family abroad or take FMLA, knowing I would quit immediately after.

Good morning fellow fish!

For the last year or so I (24m) have felt the desire to move on from my current company for a few different reasons:

1. The industry/company doesn’t captive/inspire me
2. I do not see a desirable career ladder over the next 5-10 years
3. The work is moving further away from the things I enjoy (analysis, business/strategy, metrics/reporting)

I’ve started to prepare for a job search, but I don’t know what I want to do so I’m almost scared to start. Any advice?

I want to maintain that relationship because, well, you never know!

I am an MBA and MSc but not from top tier university.

Looking to switch from Europe to Gulf.

Currently working as a Manager in OPs at Oliver Wyman, mainly for the Automotive, Transport and Manufacturing industries.

Any companies in the gulf region that does work for similar industries and / or in Operations?

The target being to make my transfer as smooth as possible, even though I am open to new challenges. Is my thinking right?

Has anyone taken a significant pay cut for a new role that was less stress? Making you more rich in life (work life balance, less stress, loved your company, loved your colleagues), but taken a smaller take home salary?

Looking to possibly make a career change but I’m honestly not sure where to go next. I’m a finance manager working in the RV industry and I do really well but I am looking for a normal schedule and to finally have Saturdays off so I can make it to all my kid’s games. I feel like this industry is so hard to get out of because any job change comes with a huge pay cut. Has anyone else made the move out of the sales industry and what are your thoughts? Where did you go?

Hi fishbowl community. I need some help getting my resume reviewed. I have been applying for jobs rigorously but haven’t seen a good result. It makes me wonder if I’m doing the right things. Please can someone help me out with my resume? Thank you

Hello everyone! First-time poster here. I've been in a specific industry for 20 years and left a leadership position 1yr ago. I took a break for myself! I've been on the hunt for my new adventure (not in that industry). I am finding it hard! Majority of the time I don't hear back. When I do get interviews, I get "we decided not to fill this role," or I get to the final round and am not selected. I am looking for advice on my resume and cover letter. I want to get more hits on my applications.

I love my boss and my team but hate the work. I've been there for over a decade and the pay is good but the hours and stress are extreme. Been interviewing and although the work seems more exciting, not sure I should give up the safe option. I also have no chance for advancement currently and would be doing the same job till I retire or die.
