Hello , I have accepted an offer from a UK firm , they mentioned that they will provide coc form to me and then I have to apply for a visa (they will reimburse the visa cost)
Is this a norm there ?
Do you guys have any experience with applying for a visa ?

I’m looking for a position with a good organization as a 100% remote case manager. A position that meets my salary requirements and has good health insurance. I love case management and found it when I needed a break from bedside. Any guidance would be deeply appreciated!

Finally got a job offer to exit into industry with a great offer! Should I put in my two weeks before Christmas holidays / firm shutdown or wait until after? Start date is currently slated for mid Jan and may be able to push back to early feb.

I am looking to get some letters behind my name for some street cred. I am in my 40s with wisdom streaks in my hair. What are the best designations to get? What are the easiest designations to get?

What puts are you buying for late October? Apple at 223, AMD at 32?

529 NY question. I want to setup an account for my daughter. Planning to contribute $10K to maximize the tax deduction as a married couple.
(1) Should my wife and I setup two accounts for our daughter with $5K each? Or ok to setup a single account under one of our names?
(2) Understand $10K is below the annual gift tax but 529 is considered a gift. Is it good practise to document this in some shape/form? Like a one page doc that my wife and I sign stating we gifted to a 529 $10K in 2022.
Thanks

Has anyone else in PDM received one of these “you’re selected to be an Onboarding Advisor” emails? 2 of my coworkers got one and they seem to be expected to advise new hires on how to do resumes, skills, staffit, DTE, introduce them to their network, send welcome emails, checkin with them multiple times and answer their onboarding questions. Seems like a lot of extra firm work when PDM is not supposed to be required to do firm work…. Wondering if anyone knows about this new requirement.

The recruiter I was working with said they couldn’t go over a certain number (which I know is a low-ball number). Is there still an opportunity to negotiate in the final stages of the interview process?

Hi guys!

I need help with something: I recently started using xlookup in excel to automate recurring tasks (accounting) but I have found that my peers and supervisors have difficulties understanding how the numbers are pulled, which makes their understanding of the files difficult.

What would be the best way to convert the result of an xlookup cell to a reference to the found cell?

Is there any way that could be applied to all the xlookups in an excel file?

Thanks in advance!!

What is the salary or salary range for a Senior Associate, Salesforce Practice at PWC?

I was recently just laid off due to COVID, late in the game but saw it coming!
Looking for advice on how to make the best use of my time as I look for jobs and prepare myself for the uncertain time.

At recruiters, just because your company doesn’t hire immigrants doesn’t mean the applicant is not “qualified” for the job. Thanks.

Hello,
I work in insurance but I am trying to pivot into tech sales. I am having trouble explaining my metrics during interviews. For us, our KPI is based on a quota issued to each state. Ex Ma being 143%. Throughout Ma, we have multiple offices but my office, in particular, is currently at 260% of quota. I have brought in 60,000 of sales for our team. Since I don't have a quato, how can I demonstrate my performance. Many thanks!!

I'll switch to a startup as the only data engineer and will closely work with all the Head ofs + the CTO.

Any advice/books/... on stakeholder management at that level? Especially when things fail/discussing budgets/new hires etc.

Facebook employees: what’s going on internally?

Hi all, I’ve been working for 9 years now from technical support for 4 years to DevOps admin. Base salary is 105k right now. In the Bay Area rn from Asian countries. Do you know think my company is paying me low? If so what is the justified base salary range? Thanks!

I’m preparing to jump from a Product Owner role at a tech company to Manager at Deloitte. Can anyone fill me in on the key differences from tech to consulting?

What would you consider to be a sign of a "dangerous" neighborhood vs just a city neighborhood? And how could I measure that ahead of time?

Has Facebook brought the world closer?

I'm a solid software engineer; I get the job done, I'm reliable, I work hard, i can accomplish almost any technical task with enough time, I'm supposed to be smart; I went to MIT.

But I am in awe of those 10x programmer types, because -- as the name would imply-- they finish everything 10x faster than me. I don't understand how they do it, and I am super envious. I want to be like these guys. But how? Is it even learnable or is it all just God-given talent? How can I become like them?

Attempting to renter the workforce after a 2 year hiatus due to health issues followed by the pandemic. During this time off I had minor success running a small business, but not enough to pay the bills. I have 3 YOE, 1.5 as a Loan Officer, and 1.5 as a consultant within compliance and Fintech. Please let me know of any fully remote positions, or hybrid positions based out of Chicago or Milwaukee. I live in Dubuque IA, so for in office work it would have to be in Dubuque. TIA!

What is the highest TC you've heard of at FAANG?

Curious to know which roles everyone is in and if you moved over from consulting. I recently left consulting for more impact, better $/WLB, but I’m not necessarily seeing it in tech. The consulting bowl hypes up FAANG so much but I’m not seeing the allure… fwiw I’m in bizops

What are the similarities between Amazon and Apple culture?

could someone give me a referral in one of the FAANG companies in the UK 👀

How long until an app starts to suffer if it's Android only?

Where are you now and where would you want to move and why? (If you want to move)

I feel like I am a "grass is always greener on the other side" person and I for example as European would love to spend some time in the US, I came across many people doing the move in the other direction, so I am curious to see different opinions from people growing up in different places.
