Anyone else feel like we're an industry-wide equivalent of fiddling while Rome burned? Ignoring the impact a lot of our work has while waiting for all the tension in the country to break?

Probably socioeconomic pressure due to the shrinking middle class, and our firm's enablement of the upper class to shrink it further? Maybe that businesses are sociopathic by nature and we enable them to make poor decisions? (Opiod marketing comes to mind)

I'm in P&U, so I tell myself that I'm helping keep lights on for everyone and secure the grid. Not making the rich richer.

Are any of your firms projects directly affecting parties, class, gender, racial, international issues? Hard to affect change- or take blame for it - while working on business process improvement projects.

It is a misnomer that Nero fiddled while Rome burned...which is exactly how I feel about this post.

Many of us work with commercial clients, NGOs and public sector to make this world a little better. That is of course tempered by the other side, but we’re no different than the rest of humanity.

When do you know you've toured enough houses and should pick one from the list you've got? I've seen probably 15-20 homes, and put in one offer. How many homes should you tour minimum, and how many offers did you put in before you closed? I don't want to be too hasty and choose something just because, but I also think continuing to see homes isn't really making my decision any easier. Thanks!

Amazon Offer- Accept or decline?

Base: 75k
Sign-on: 43k
RSU: 825 shares
TC: 122k

Current TC: 98k
YOE: 6

Received an offer for non- tech CCM role and wondering if I should accept. I feel like I was lowballed and downleved despite having 6 YOE (relevant but not in tech). Not sure it will be beneficial to leave my current role for this offer to get my foot in the door.

I’m at the cap for salary at the level/role and can’t negotiate offer any higher.

The argument that climate change is not man-made has been disproven by science over and over again, yet many people believe that the global crisis is either not real, not of our making, or both, in part because the news media deliberately chooses not to talk about it because it doesn't sell enough.

"Don't Look Up" is as real as it can be.
