Hi Guys,

Any mommy groups in South FL? Do any professionals even work in South FL?

Hello! I recently finished a Master of Public Health from the University of Waterloo and I’m currently working as a Policy Analyst for the federal government. I’m really intrigued by healthcare consulting and would love to learn more about Canadian opportunities for that if anyone is willing to chat! I have over 5 years of experience working in community healthcare (mainly administrative roles). I also have a BSc (Hons) Neuroscience. Just looking for advice on where to start! TIA :)

Is EY the only firm that doesn't give bonus to staff? I see that PwC gives bonuses to all levels. And I know that EY starts giving bonuses at senior level, which I think sucks.

Does anyone know the story on Ron Carson? His first year at LPL he was their top producer. He started with Securities America in 1988. How'd he get so big, so fast? There must be a story.

How much would you consider investing on a company that’s ‘high risk’ in the sense that it is a social-media? The goal is to sell in 3-5 years. This has been created in an established market, has increasing site visits by the day and hour… the vision and market need is clear. The hustle of the team is undeniable.

What other questions would you want answered? Is 200k for 20% unrealistic?

I’m curious to other’s experiences in negotiating outcomes. There is a job I really want, but would need 25%-30% than what they offered for it to make sense.
Has anyone successfully negotiated this large of a difference? Tips on approach and discussion?

Best place for a deep tissue massage in London? I’m not fussed about fanciness or brand of the spa - just want an insanely good 90 minutes for a reasonable price.

Anyone who used to work at EY willing to part ways with any of their swag / gear? :)

Anyone else still gets impostor syndrome (even with several years experience in software engineering)? Any tips you use to overcome it?

So I recently found out that my current company is underpaying me. And by that I mean that literally any other company is willing to pay me 15-20k more than what I make now. In my current role they've asked me to take on extra responsibilities with no financial compensation (scrum master type stuff) while still doing my engineering stuff. I don't necessarily mind it, but I'm starting to feel like I'm being taken advantage of. Is it reasonable for me to ask for a raise? Or do I go somewhere else?

How do you advocate for a "level" promotion in a company that has vague unofficial descriptions of levels? I'm doing L4-5 (on standard levels, or L3 within our system) work but can't get away from the unofficial "L2".

Making 140k with 7 yrs experience in this role, and 12 prior years experience in Systems Engineering roles. I know someone on my team is at 180k with a similar career.

Fighting with my manager atm on definitions of levels and feel like its a red herring.

I am interested in your opinion about Rust. Recently been learning it on the side and just wanted to ask the community how popular do you think the language is? Have you encountered much opportunities to use it on the job ? Do you think it has much of a future, especially compared to more popular ones such as Python, Java, C++ ?

I have received two offers for Summer Internships. West Monroe Partners Software Engineer and Deloitte Software Engineer. I'm not sure which one will be better for my career. Will Deloitte allow better future opportunities because of its brand name? Or, will the fact that WMP is a technology-focused consulting firm look better for getting future SWE jobs?

Can anyone share any insight on best practices/ benchmarking for % of software development lifecycle that is automated by top product/ engineering companies?

I spent two years freelancing and landed my first full time position in April! I'm grateful and super excited, and now that I've achieved this goal I'm wondering what actions or habits I need to take at work to put my self in a position to eventually be promoted to senior engineer or possibly into a management or principal role down the line? Any advice, resources or critiques are appreciated!

I need to vent.

We've had a bunch of customer reports of some text having the same color as the background on some products when the user is configured in X mode. They were totally right. I created a task to change the background color to something more appropriate. I thought it would be trivial, so I assigned it to a junior.

It's taken them 2 weeks to complete. We're still getting customer complaints about it. No one can explain why it took 2 weeks to complete.

Ugh.

My client’s site got hacked yesterday. I didn’t see any actual signs of impending attack. But knowing how little we do for cyber security when building a site, I knew we must have been vulnerable in some way. I’ve tried pushing for more cybersecurity measures in the last year, but being a Jr, I don’t know a lot about it. My manager had brushed it off as something that would be nice to look into if [insert excuses not to here]. Can’t push it off any longer. I’m afraid heads are gonna roll.Advice?
