Fun Friday office vibes. Free lunch. Great office space. Nice people. I’ve always enjoyed the people on my teams.

Right now I work 9-6 and maybe average 2 hours of work per night M-T. No Friday nights and weekends off. Some studies are worse (9-11 minimal breaks) but I’ve found them easy enough to avoid.

Lots of people go on to do cool stuff, maybe best to search former employer McKinsey on LinkedIn....

What do you mean by transfer? Like office locations? Tricky to get into some core offices like NYC and SF just with the volume they receive. You can be staffed globally (post covid world) with minimal issue (e.g., have to be able to get a work visa for x country)

~11 hours of works seems lower than what others have said in this bowl, is it because you've been there for a while and figured out how to be more efficient? Would love some tips on how!

Hi everyone!
I currently work for Graybar Electric as a Project Specialist. Over the past few months, I’ve been training some of the new employees and it’s really inspired me to want to move into a operations training and development or a leadership position. Unfortunately, there isn’t a lot of room for growth where I’m at. I’m hoping to make new connections and see where this new endeavor takes me, if anyone would be so kind as to refer me. Here’s a picture of our family dog for some likes ❤️

Thoughts on the Taylor Swift drama? Scooter responded this morning

Let's say I can't get a product or marketing job in tech, but I could get in via sales or customer success. Does working in those roles pigeonhole you, or is it easy to switch later? If you take a job as a customer success mgr for ads, or as a partnership mgr for learning solutions for industry X, are you going to get stuck in those products (ads, learning solutions), roles (CS, sales/partnerships), or target industry (X)?
