It’s been a couple of months since but I’m still struggling with someone who went radio silent on me. Really liked this guy, we were talking for months and it was going really well. It seemed like he wanted a relationship too from the way he was reassuring me. And then one day he just stopped responding mid conversation. Wasn’t even anything heavy just chatting about our weekends and fun things happening. I’m trying to let go but can’t understand what happened. Thinking about this too much

If you could get 4% back (on rent and other purchases) in XLM, GRT, AMP, or RLY, which would you choose?

Or would you prefer to cash/swap this out immediately? Note: No taxes on cash back (as of now), so you'd only have gains/losses on the difference between price upon receiving vs selling. Would be minimal if selling ASAP.

Hi, I'm going to join EY, Bangalore in mid January 2022. Can someone pls throw some light on the WFH status, are they calling people to resume work from office?

I’m struggling. I left an agency I liked last year due to growth limitations and since then I’ve worked at 2 different agencies and can’t seem to find my footing. The first one seemed like a good fit at first but then it turned out to not be the best place for me so I left. At my current agency I feel super undervalued. I’m always raising my hand and offering to help where I can and no matter what I do, I don’t feel utilized or valued or part of the team.It’s really taken a toll on my confidence

Hey all, would love some advice. I’m a Business Analyst with 5 YOE and minimal technical skills. And I’m really unhappy where I’m at. Very underpaid, and feel like I’m limited in job opportunities.

Any guidance/advice on which certs to look at? Was thinking AWS cloud practitioner as a starting point? Any help welcomed!!

For the longest time, my best friend and I were always the single ones in our friend group. About 6 months ago she started dating someone and it seems to be the real thing.

I feel like there’s been an unspoken shift in our friendship..anyone else deal with this?

My feel so defeated for trying to make my relationship work . We are both seeking therapist separately but it doesn’t seem to be working since he’s still hiding secrets. 🤕

*Sealed Classes in Java 17*

The sealed class allows one to describe which class or interface can extend or implement this class or interface. In short, we can put restrictions on who can use this class or interface. Suppose we have Student abstract class and if we make it a sealed class and permit only ScienceStudent and CommerceStudent to extend the class, then only those classes will be able to extend the Student and other classes will get an error if they try to extend it.

Full Loop at Meta is scheduled. I’m interested but I don’t feel like I know enough about the role. What questions did you ask or do you wish you would have asked your interviewers?

Hey everyone welcome to the bowl! I know someone started a thread asking where people worked. Looks like we have some F10 companies so far. If you’re not in the F50. What are you looking to get out of the bowl?

Let’s get this going? Comp survey?

It seems like we’ve had many people join from firms today. In the in-house bowl we had a lot of people speaking about F50 who don’t actually work there and the info/advice was often not accurate. If you’re not at an F50 feel free to ask questions but please refrain from commenting on things you don’t have first hand knowledge of so we can avoid the misinformation issues and make this bowl helpful for all
