Anyone down for a virtual happy hour sometime this week? We are all at home, might as well right? Maybe discord or google hangouts? BYOB to Social Distance Pub.

Now that it’s officially peach season. Best peach things (fresh peaches, peach drinks, etc.) and where to find them in ATL?

I’ve got a reservation for 2 at the Aviary for this Friday, 5/6, at 7:30 pm that I no longer can attend. It’s for the 5 course tasting menu.

Is anyone interested in buying the res off of me? It seems my only options are to transfer the res to someone else.

Just realized I hadn’t had an in-person interview since 2019. I’ve done multiple zoom interviews and was onboarded remote in 2020. About to see a real person today! Wish me luck.

Any good spots for live music?? New to the area

I actually like that new DJ Pressplay song. Thanks Friday Beers

Zoom meetings have been fantastic. I can highly recommend my home group SOS. 7:30 daily. Great way to get grounded as you start your day.

Contemplating move to Chicago. Female, mid 30s, single no kids but have a dog. Will have a car. Not into the clubbing scene. Want a neighborhood with walkable coffee shop and weeknight eats. Where should I buy? ( remote worker)

Any good coffee brand suggestions in the US or Europe that match up to filter coffee taste back home?

Has anyone seen any unique places to find UX portfolios or post jobs other than the usual suspects?
Some UX Slack channels were doing well for a while but I definitely don’t see as much traction there. Meetups obviously came and went. Even the portfolio sites like Dribbble and Behance don’t seem that same.

What’s the dress code for zoom interviews? So far, I’ve definitely been dressed more formally than my interviewers but could be because they were tech companies

Mac or HP or Dell: I prefer Mac notebooks. However it seems there might be limitations with the use of Skype or other applications based on materials I have seen. What do you all recommend is the best laptop for working at Deloitte?

Any good books to read this winter break? On leadership, digital, or any autobiographies?

Best pot roast sides... Go!

What’s a good whiskey for a 40 th birthday gift under $200? Thanks for recommendation!

The House of the Dragon finale was SO good! I’m so glad they were able to redeem the franchise. What other show deserves to make a comeback like that?

What’s Beaverton like? Super suburbia? Any good character to it? Good pubs?

What is your go-to low cal alcoholic cocktail?

Are there any fun holiday pop-up bars this weekend? I would love a reason to wear my ugly sweater!!

How do you run outside when it’s starting to get cold ?

Rough TC benchmark for mid level corp dev (mix of m&a and strategy) role at a midsize private co in Toronto?
Lots of data on US corp dev TC, but not much for Toronto

First year associate thinking about making the just from medium sized reputable IP firm to In House. Started at said firm summer of 1L year as a law clerk/patent agent in May 2019, have worked through school and full time as associate since Sept 2021. Feeling very “stuck” in day to day work. Love the patent/IP space but drafting and pros w/minimal human interaction is getting very difficult. Thinking In House would be better, but not sure how much experience needed. Thoughts?

Anyone else just finding out about their VC and raises today? 😐

Any good book recommendations for new Managers in consulting ?

What is the best resource to learn JavaScript? Currently using freecodecamp and getting those certs

For those who've done Lasik in Chicago, any recommendations? I'm debating between LasikPlus and Kraff

I’m Launching a podcast on early stage startups and venture investing with a very dear friend of mine, this week. Any particular topics you’d like us to cover?

Looking forward to reading your responses 😀

UGH just got home from work — is it even worth it to tune in at this point? Then again, it’s only halfway through, correct?

CrowdStrike Referral?

Anyone willing to consider. Qualified for the job, tech sales top performer, looking to get into cybersecurity. 🙏

Can someone explain what’s a culture day and how do you take it?

Strategy pals at a loss for words here? Noooo

Recommendations on good car body shop? Bumped my car while parking. Small dent and scratches on the rare door. I live in downtown, so preferably in the city.

Fellow front office Directors, would you mind sharing the name of your bank and your salary (no need for total comp)?

What's a median salary (considering all US employees) for big 4, Accenture, MBB and FAANG? Is 200k for big 4/ACN, 300K for MBB, 400k for FAANG a good ball park estimate?

Heya, What is it like working at MD and how does it differ from D?

++ Any observation on culture, people and future prospects will be hugely appreciated

Anyone found an affordable adjustable standing desk they like? I have an iMac and a laptop is like to be able to fit on it.

Husband and I are planning to rent a car (we wipe the entire inside and handles down with bleach wipes) and drive to a state over (only 5 hours, no pit stops) to pod up with my parents for a month or two. We will be wearing masks and social distancing with my parents until everyone is tested and confirmed negative. My husband goes to the grocery store once a week, other than that we do not interact with others and have taken the pandemic very seriously. Is this a bad idea? Second guessing myself

Happy Easter 🐣🐇🐰

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.

I felt like I am moving nowhere. I don't know what to do.

I am 29. I decided again to pause studying business in a university. I only have 5 subjects left before graduation. Reasons?

$10,000 total debts,
Pandemic,
Career Crisis

I turned to online classes that offer internship and support. I'm taking digital marketing, python programming and bookkeeping to apply and enhance my skills. I retained my job as a real time analyst.

I sleep 6 hours in average. High sugar intake.

A director in another unit wants to meet me to “continue a conversation we started last year”. He is referring to the time I had asked him if there were openings on his team. That was over a year ago. I am not too happy where I am right now ( I stayed where I was). I also don’t know if he really has an opportunity or if this is just some corporate circle jerk where my current director is trying to “smoke me out”. I don’t speak poorly of my team/work. How would you approach this conversation?

Is anyone’s wfh office chair getting less “springy” over time? Mine just doesn’t have the same umph it had before, constantly lowering throughout the day.

How do you balance work and fun?

Why, can someone tell me why, it is so hard to find a home with an exterior-venting range hood?! Like we’re just out here boiling chicken and pasta or what?! They don’t make homes for people that cook??

Just got a little tipsy and impulse-bought a $2,000 82” tv. Hope it’s worth it.

Is it pronounced “data” or “data?” 🧐

I literally cannot stomach to be around my in laws any longer. My wife and I are in neither political camp and we pretty much have the perspective that no matter what the outcome is every 2 and 4 years isn’t going really affect our lives all that great. We just have the attitude that “things happen, but why let that affect our daily happiness?” My in laws are retired, bored, and do nothing but share Fox News videos on Bookface and have just become so angry. (Cont’d)

Hi. I was recently offered two jobs within the company. I had to turn down the first offer. I feel really awful about it. I really liked that team and the hiring manager. I want to send an email to the hiring manager thanking them for their time and consideration etc. Would that be unprofessional? Could it offend them? What would you do in such a situation?

Where is this confessions bowl people keep mentioning?

I’m currently signed on a contract for my first house for new construction that has gas heating. I have not lived in a house with this before and this entire time have been battling the anxiety of it even with detector. The house, location, and price is all everything I could dream of. Any advice on what to do in this situation?
