Associates, when you tell us to ask you questions whenever they come up, do you actually mean it or is it just a front?

I sincerely mean it. I'll almost never judge you for asking too many questions (unless it's laughably basic or something we've already discussed). I'll hate you if you spin your wheels because you didn't ask a question you had though

If you could have googled it or figured it out yourself in <5 mins then I'll be annoyed but good questions you should ask

^ literally this.

Wish I could work with you both...

Op I think it's unbelievably stupid for associates to laugh at analysts for asking questions but at the same time expect them to ask questions. What might seems like a dumb question to the associate can be the result of his poor explanation or the analyst identifying potential issues that the associate didn't even anticipate.

Need to tell my building this week if I’m renewing my lease. My firm currently has a target date of returning to the office early fall. Anyone else hear anything about return dates? I don’t want to renew and waste money if we’re not actually going back until next year, but also don’t want to leave to just have to come back in 2 months.

Hello All ,

I am switching my profile from data analyst to data engineer focusing on azure right now.

Any azure data engineer in the group can help me with what are the important topic in respect to job interview .

And except azure dedicated services what other tec skills i need .

How do you strategically answer the question “what is your expected pay range?” when the pay range listed is $20-$40/hr (salaried) and you want to negotiate towards $45/hr? I feel like I shocked my interviewers when I told them my expectations. I haven’t really experienced this feeling but I understand the shock since I’ve been on the other side. I feel like I should know the answer, but somehow it feels much different.
