Any advice on how to pivot out of a small boutique that I just joined, as I think it might have been a mistake, especially given recent developments. How long should I stay, and how should I look to approach the move? Thanks!

Why do you think you've made a mistake? Have you given the boutique enough chance to be 100% certain that you want to pivot?

Yes, I am pretty certain as it’s not a right fit and doesn’t align with my career path, among other things to do with the firm and operations.

Hi Everyone,

I am currently working at Meta as a Recruiting Coordinator under contract. That contract will soon come to term in July. There hasn’t been any talks about extending my contract, so I am getting very nervous about potentially being out of work in July. I am a first gen corporate worker, and I have about 5 years of experience in recruitment. I have also recently finished my Masters in HR Management, so I wanted to jump on here and see if anyone has any tips for landing a new role?

Started talking to this guy through group a group telegram and one day he offered to pay for my lunch as I had helped him out with something. Since then he has been offering to pay for my dinners, salon visits, shopping etc and I have accepted 3-4 times. I am in a steady relationship and my boyfriend doesn’t know about this. The other guy just says he likes paying for my stuff and there’s no agenda. Is this a little weird?
