Let’s discuss “acting managers” that never get promoted because they can’t pass their CPA. Do you think at a certain point they should be pushed out?

The creators of GIFs may be dead, but the debate about how to pronounce it is alive and kicking. I go with the hard G, like in Graphic. Votes?

Tech company lay offs….are they soon to be inevitable?!

There is lots of companies really taking a hit in the tech space. Is this something that people are nervous about? Many seem to still be having a hiring push but with the button falling (IMO this is still just start we have a long way to go to bottom out) will that halt and layoffs ensue? And if so, which depts do you think will get hit the hardest?

Anyone have insight to what the plan is at UpStart for example?

Hi Fish,

I attended the interview in cognizant. But i didn't get any feedback of my interview. So, what should I do? Also, I dropped the Mails to recruiter. They did not reply on that.

How much should a senior manager specializing in State and Local Tax working at a top 10 PA firm with 15 years of experience be making? Any thoughts?

Need advice! I accepted an offer mid Oct and just found out my new company opened a new role above me at the title I was asking for originally but was told I would move up when they were ready to build out the team. I am over qualified for my role now and already meet the exp of the new role above me. Very salty and feel like they are setting me up to feel stuck before I even start. What do I did?

Anybody have experience with PenFed for a VA loan? Came up in a search and their rates are extremely competitive. Any reason I shouldn't take the lowest bidder?

I’m curious about the enlisted versus officer ratio as well...here’s a way to better survey the group. “Like” your respective group below.

I am a traditional reservist so I never really used military benefits before, but could use advice here.

I am currently renting and my lease is not up until October 2021, however I found a good deal on a home and scheduled to close in June 2021.

My landlord will not work with me to end the lease early, so it looks like I will have to double up on rent and mortgage through the summer.

If I went on active duty orders, can I use those orders to break my lease early without penalty?

Thinking about buying first home. ~$600k. How was your VA home loan experience? In a competitive market, was it a weakness? Is it an issue with lenders? Do I need a RE agent well versed with them? THX

Anyone here use or know anyone who has used Vet Comp and Pen to get/increase VA disability benefits? Wondering if they’re reputable.

Hey Ladies & Gents,

I'm trying to find anyone I can talk to about getting into DISA or CISA. Anyone have any experience with USAJobs and navigating the federal application and interview process?

Perspective. I’m retiring from the service and I’ve positioned myself decently to be competitive. I have a graduate degree pursuing a doctorate, LSSBB, ScrumMaster, SPHR, and PMI-ACP. I’ve been offered two positions that are great and on the human capital team. For someone in this situation where should I be looking as commensurate with my certifications and experience?

Looking to connect with someone who works in the Atlanta area (remote or in person) for questions regarding SIPR. Additionally, if there are individuals in this area that know of resources to use to find places that are hiring (consulting, tech, startup, etc.) in Atlanta specifically, please drop below. FYSA, I have just over 3 YOE (1 consulting, 2 government) and TS level clearance. Thanks!

For those of you who got out at 10, do you wish that you rode it out to 20? I’m at a crossroad and I’m not sure what to do. Have some active/reserve time, wrapping up graduate school, and am now considering either a) come back to the business world or b) go active and retire before 50 and live off a nice pension. Obviously there are draws to both. I’m an officer for what it’s worth so I can realistically retire at O-5, MAYBE O-6.

Anyone here downshift in life post service?

Feel like I've been going full bore for the past decade and literally have no problem continuing the trend. Like I could just keep marking milestones and grinding or whatever until I die.

Wondering when if anyone else felt similar and decided to pull back and do something more relaxing. What was the catalyst, what are you doing, and are you enjoying it?

I'd considered taking up a 9-5 somewhere but not sure if thatd wear off fast.

Any Navy Nukes in this bowl?
