Anyone work at applied materials that can tell me about the office in Portland/work life balance?

When do we find out about raises and bonuses?

Serious question: does it suck everywhere? 🤷🏼‍♂️

Any tactical advice on how to stop thinking about someone that you want but cannot have. Trying things but my mind goes back to him. Can’t fight this feeling. How/when do you finally feel free? 😕

Hi All,

Need 11❤ to unlock DM.
Thanks in advance.

Has anyone ever had a CD who kills your ideas and then later resurrects them and takes complete credit, as if they were his own? Just me? 😂

Does anyone work at Airgas or have experience with this company (not available on Fishbowl)?

So if inflation is so high and real estate is so peaky, what’s the best thing to do w cash? I know about the $10k treasury option and all retirement / 401k is maxed. Help!?

How many of you are working remote? I really don’t see how this industry, especially in IT risk could go back to the office. I had minimal time prior to covid at client sites. Want to get a feeling around how many people here still remote and will be remote at least for the presumable future.

Hi Fishes,

I am working as SAP CX Developer with 4.8 YOE. I am so confused about choosing the best company. Need your advice. Please guide me among these two which organization is better to join Shell India Markets Ltd or SAP India pvt Ltd.
Shell India - 20+ fixed + 15% perf bonus on fixed. (Not finalized CTC)
SAP India - 18 CTC ( included 10% On target bonus ) + 3L JB

I’m a freelancer with an LLC but sometimes companies hire me as a regular freelancer and allow me to contribute to their 401k plan. This year, for example, I have already maxed out my 2022 contribution. Should I, on top of that, create a individual 401k (aka solo 401k) and try to max it out as well?

Anyone know eximius wipro location?

Aruba or Bahamas?

I am trying to find a work from home position. I have had 2 interviews and have applied multiple places. Is it really that hard to try and better myself? I have a masters in Healthcare Informatics Administration and have my CPhT. I just want to know that I am not the only one with this issue.

If I am able to get a 332+ GRE and have thus far only been able to get a 700 GMAT do you think that score is good enough to have on reserve for MBB/IB recruiting during my MBA? I believe a 700 is still above 90th percentile.

Salary for senior associate at KPMG in their financial management group?

Any big4 lawyers who transitioned to the IRS office of chief counsel (national office)? How do you like compared to big 4? I am particularly concerned about having to be in person (at the office) 2-3 days a week.

Biggest Portland stereotypes? Do you think they're true or not true?
Mine is that everyone in Portland is into hiking, snowboarding or running....I promise there are some homebodies/non-athlete types out here y'all we just have to find each other ahah.

Is anyone interested in connecting over coffee?

Has anyone else seen ads for the musical “Shen Yun”, EVERYWHERE??? To date I have seen billboards, social media ads, posters, and received a mailer yesterday. Their media budget must be massive.

Where my Portland Advertising people at??

I currently work as a optician, referral coordinator and optometry technician. Busting my butt off wearing all 3 hats and I get paid $20 an hour… I don’t think this is a fare wage considering I’m doing the job of 3 people. I want to negotiate a higher wage any tips of what I should ask for?

We looking for creatives. If you have broadcast and digital, DM me.

What’s happening at Grady Britton? Good team? Good clients?

Is anyone in Portland conservative? What is it like for you being there? I get along with just about anyone, but seems pretty hostile towards non-liberal folks from what I've seen

Hello I'm new to fishbowl and also I'm a
recruiter in Seattle looking currently for
building engineers for Seattle, Denver and
Portland roles! Hopefully will meet some
through connections on here so if you
know anyone please send them my way!!

Is moving from Seattle worth it? I've heard the freeze is still in affect in Portland but I'm more worried about prices. I WFH mostly and pull down like 120k a year, Seattle is getting crazy expensive rent wise and crazy full. I'd like to find somewhere new but stick to the PNW.

What’s up Portlandians, still enjoying the warm sept?

Happy week of Christmas! How are we doing with last minute shopping?! I haven’t started 🤔

Any opinions about Thesis as a creative?

Anyone have a good (and not exorbitantly expensive) accountant? My taxes have gotten more complicated than TurboTax and I can handle this year

Got a date with a girl I've admired for a while this weekend, where should I take her? Best romantic/fun date spots, ideally with great food or near great food. She has no dietary restrictions as far as I know. Thanks

Moving to Oregon from California in about a month. I don't know anyone in the city. Any suggestions on activities/cool sights to see?

Hello PDX Ad folk! Moving back to Portland after 6 yrs away doing the NYC LA circuit. I'm currently a freelance Strategy Director, are there shops in Portland hiring freelancers into the New Year? Landing in January so looking to get connected to the right agencies ahead of my move. Thanks all!

Anyone have any connections with Portland General Electric? I am a design technician that works remotely on pole replacement jobs (designing, creating construction drawings, estimating) based in California. My 6 month contract will be up with my company soon and I am looking for a better salary (I currently make ~$48k/yr). This is my first job in this field as I graduated from UP in 2020 and it took a while to land a "professional" job due to the pandemic.
