Hi Fishes, Please comment your WFH status with the base location and company name.

Mine is @Genpact Bangalore and WFH is still going on.

Interviewing for an out of state non-legal business role. They want me to conduct the second round of interviews in person. How do I juggle this with my existing firm? Vacation? WFH but don’t tell them I’m traveling? Come clean (my boss might be that cool…maybe).

I got an offer as a Principal IS Architect (Level 6) at Amgen and my comp is as follows: 180k base, 15% Target Bonus, 25k Sign-on, 25k New-hire RSU (vests 4 years), 20k Annual target RSU (SF based salary).
1st-year comp: ~ 276k
2nd, 3rd, 4th years: ~251k

This is a remote role. I want to know if I am being lo-balled as I expected the 2nd year onwards comp to be at 260k+.

Anyone else already dreading to go back to work?😩 just imagining losing more sleep by having to drive in on some days and then deal with pumping at work is giving me anxiety. Wish I could just work from home forever or figure out another way to make money..

Hello everyone, my organisation is hiring for the position of Assistant Manager for Digital Marketing domain. Required experience is 6-7 years minimum. Full time WFH being offered with minimal office visits when necessary. Anyone interested, please DM

Received an offer from a top FAANG for a 250% increase in TC. However, I was initially interviewing for a position that was remote and yet the final offer does not provide that option, non-negotiable. I have a wife and 2-year-old child and another one due in 7 months, and currently live near both sets of grandparents.

Is working at a top FAANG really worth that kind of cost? I'm leaning heavily 'no' but it's not making it easy to sleep at night knowing I'm sitting on this kind of offer!

Any tips for finding remote paralegal roles? I am currently a senior corporate paralegal.

Ever since moving to hybrid work, my coworkers are always complaining about how much they hate their jobs, how much of a hassle it is to travel or work from home. How can you be expected to do your job when you're just so far away from everything?

Good morning. I am in need of a side gig that can help me make about $500+ a month. I work full time but I am not making enough to make ends meet. There is a catch ~ I am disabled and work from home full time. I can work outside the home but only for 25 hours a week. Any suggestions?

Any recommendations on negotiating telework (remote work) for a federal position that’s provided an Firm Offer? I was informed by an agency officer that my request can be considered if an offer was given along with my request for higher salary.
What suggestions does anyone have on doing that?

Hello Fishes, I was an experienced qualified Professor in Sociology for almost 8 years from 2014 to 2020. Due to motherhood I resigned from my job as I am living in a nuclear family. Currently I am working as a Senior Executive HR in a consultancy company named Profession Makers. However, I am looking for a WFH opportunity in the Human Resource (Non IT) sector where I will have the chance to develop professionally. Kindly Help.

I accepted a FADP offer but I have lifelong crippling anxiety It leads to (TMI) diarrhea, I can’t sleep at night, among a lot of other issues. I see a therapist and have their support in school accom. I appear high functioning and ever since uni went remote my life and performance has only improved. I know I’m capable of getting the work done and they must see potential if they hired me. But I feel that if I ask for WFH or other accom. I’m gonna be shooting myself and my career in the foot.

Let’s take a poll: What do you love/hate about your position in Insurance? I’ll go first:

Florida PIP Litigation 1+yrs at Progressive

Love: WFH, Flexibility of not being “chained to desk” all day because I don’t have to take outside customer calls, ability to complete work assigned at any time of day within 72hrs, no micromanaging from my Supervisor, feeling like I’m my own boss

Hate: getting assigned bulks from others and it throws off efficiency of reviewing suits, monotony, depositions

How do you handle it at work when someone low key insults you but pretend it's a compliment? It keeps happening but it's not something I can directly respond to. I've debated if I'm misperceiving, but at this point, I'm pretty sure I'm not. Office brawling is not an option lol

I am an OT practicing at a Pediatric Outpatient Clinic in Illinois. I have 15 years of experience with Peds and certified in both Sensory Integration & Feeding Therapy. My current pay is at $75k.

Im currently trying to switch from the RE finance industry to tech as a project manager. My current title is project manager w/ 4yrs experience and over 10 years of transferable skills. Ive also recently obtained my CAPM. In my current job I dont feel as if Im gaining any of the project management skills. Considering everything I’ve had to learn. My company does not use any PM softwares. For someone in my position would a salary range of $80-$90k be considered too low, or too high?

Hello Fishes,

How is the role -Project Support Specialist ( Learning Studio) in terms of work-life balance and CTC. What is the pay range being offered ? Also, is there scope for growth in this role?

Thanks in advance 🙂

Has anyone completed CAIA? If so what’s the timeframe to completion like? Thanks in advance!

What are the best small agencies for creatives? For my first job I’m thinking a smaller shop might be better for making produced work.

Newbie investor asked me a question, they have $5k to invest and were wondering if they should put it in an index fund (S&P500 - which is what I’d normally recommend plus DCA thereafter) or if they should buy AMZN given that it is well off of its highs, is a solid company and would, in 12-18 months, likely grow faster than the S&P, as interest rates normalize over that time period, etc. That got me thinking… so I’m asking all of you, what would you do/recommend?

Can anyone describe the McKinsey interview process for the business analyst position in India?

Is PwC FDD really 2 years to get to experienced associate? Recruiter is basically stonewalling my attempt to come in as an experienced hire with ~1 YOE and my CPA (wants me to come in as an associate aka a campus hire) . I get that when you jump firms, you might have to take a title downgrade, but it's confusing to me when I see people on here and elsewhere say they like got an offer as a senior associate in FDD with ~2 YOE in audit and I can't even come in as an A2.

Are salaries really comparable/competitive in Singapore? Is it worth the move?

Has anyone faced 221G during USA H1B visa process?

Ok this one’s for my fellow adhd’ers and auties: are we pro or against disclosing? Feels like it’d help my partners understand why I’m so good at certain things and absolute shite at others, rather than just thinking I’m lazy. But also, disclosure = risk of stigma. Where do people fall? For the seniors/counsel/partners, would you want your associates to disclose something like this or is it just irrelevant/going to make you think they’re just a problem for you even if you like their work?

Does your return flight get cancelled if you miss your layover flight? I have a flight from JFK to Nice with a layover in Paris. I’m planning on getting off in Paris and skipping nice, but I’m worried my return flight to JFK will get cancelled. Anyone have experience with this?

Quick question for all my producer peeps - what’s the most frustrating part about working with freelance editors & post prod houses? I’m trying to find out if it’s me…

This is great! Glad someone did this

Are there other resources like SourceCreative through Extreme Reach for finding production & post partners? Would love some alternative options.

I am booked at an agency that is filled with toxic people and I got offered a freelance job at a really great agency. I am two weeks into a four week booking but they said that usually keep freelancers on for a really long time. Right now I am only working on edits. Do you all think it would be OK to tell the agency that I’m currently at that I’m going to leave for another booking or is that really bad?

How to start as a freelance producer? I am making the switch from agency producer to freelance. Any advise or guidance is much appreciated!

Hi friends, happy new year! Wondering if anyone else is finding it slow in the freelance world (agency production specifically) right now? I usually get hit up constantly but it’s been pretty quiet the past two weeks or so.

Coming up for air and hearing of looming freelance/contractor opportunities. DM me if you’re a senior producer and interested and and available for a gig in-house, brand-side for a cable/tech project. Fast paced, all remote, but team is on East Coast so those would be the hours.

Boston based producer/director/DP here! Specializing in crazy deadlines and last minute travel.

Producer with EP and Line Production experience available immediately. Currently in NYC, but can work out of California as well. Can jump in and help with agency bidding and shoot bidding. Thanks!

Outside of networking, what are some of your favorite ways to get freelance gigs? LinkedIn? Freelancer? Other apps/websites?
My full-time gig is transitioning into a part-time gig, and with everything changing so quickly, I wanted to ask to see if there’s anything new. Thanks friends!

I recently went freelance as an EP and started my own LLC as well (to get the full benefits of being a freelancer). Some agencies and clients want to pay on a W2 versus 1099 / as an independent contractor. Should I still take the gig if W2 or stand my ground and pass?

After freelancing for years and doing well, would you consider a full time job? It's really hard to give up the flexibility of freelance, but... also hard to give up having a 401k match again. Salary would be similar to freelance money, but less time off. Thoughts?

How do you choose which production company to work with? ie. What are the characteristics or criteria you look for when making your decision? What makes you trust that company?

Has any freelance producers felt like it’s a quieter month or two right now and not getting work? Been looking for work and have never had an issue before. But striking out. Starting to get a little nervous. Any tips? Thoughts? Would love to hear the longest you’ve ever been out from work freelancing.

Hi There, I’m a Senior freelance Digital PM/Producer based out of Toronto, Canada. I figure with remote work being the norm now, there would be more opportunity to collaborate with US agencies. Has anyone had the experience of doing this? I know some agencies have strict hiring protocol but I am incorporated. Any advice would help! Thank you
