At least he’s honest…

What have you found to be some of the keys to scaling succesfully, either in a business or a product or dept?

Anyone assisting to the Snowflake Summit in Vegas ?

Hi all- I’m a first year staff who works in Forensic accounting & compliance. I am almost at 1 year in PA, & have come to terms that this career is not for me. I am a creative at heart & interested in working in the music business/ tech industry. My PA experience has provided me with hard skills, which is why I think it would be a great segway into the music biz & entertainment industry. Please react/comment if you are in the music biz/tech field. Would love some advise on how to pivot!

Happy Saturday!
9/17 Check-In: What’s everyone up to today?

I am on my way to my HIIT class.

Is Hollywood out of creativity nowadays? Every film seems to be similar to a pre-existing one and don't even get me started on all the remakes.

HR opinion: Do I have any leverage as a hospital nurse case manager in negotiating earned time? I have 15 years within the organization, left for 10 months to be remote during the pandemic while sorting out childcare as immunocompromised family helped. Now HR is restarting my ET as a new employee. I realize I left, but not on bad terms and I am an exemplar and respected employee. I thought I’d have the upper hand with the nursing shortage but I’m getting the “rules are rules” response. Help!?!

All, planning to head to France for the race in June. Any tips?

To the clients scheduling meetings over the inauguration: get over yourself.

Anyone going to the ALPFA conference in Vegas that would like to meet up?

I thought that too of some of the middle eastern and Caribbean island managers I worked with on a job once, but they turned out to be the most supportive and inquisitive. But I feel ya, sometimes you can sense if they'll be hostile toward you. But I don't give af at this point. In the end, they're still professionals working for Big 4 and probably won't dare say anything to you about it, even if it does bother them. Way I see it, ignorant people like that don't go very far working in our industry.

Generally curious about this years incoming batch of undergrads. What is your role and starting salary? Lots of HR laws ( CA, NY) and inflation this year so curious to see if people were able to use this to their advantage etc.

Probably the antithesis of this bowl - but need some advice. This is for a house in a Southern metro. Built in 1960s completely remodeled in 2000s with some very recent additional remodeling of kitchen and bathrooms. Well kept house. The price will be nearly $1M, the same as something built in 2010+ with similar square footage (because a lot of the price is the lot, its a super expensive zip). Should I steer clear because of the age? Will it cost a ton in maintenance and utility bills?

What skills are going to be on top in coming years into data engineering.
Currently spark is mandatory for data engineers.
How's the scope of Snowflake in future.

Am i right in understanding that you can't do Dropbox processing from Inside the US? You have to be in the country that you got your last visa from?

someone doesn't give af

Thoughts about Eagle Hill Consulting?

on the way to an interview this morning eating a sandwich. I walked past a homeless man who had a stray cat perched on his lap. He asked for a bite of sandwich to feed them both as they hadn’t eaten in days. I gave the whole sandwich over and headed off to the interview. As I got to the interview room there was a large executive chair facing away from me. The chair turned and on top was a mirror. When looking in the mirror I could see the cat. I am the cat. Truly inspirational when you work hard

Incoming (job title) vs ex (company name).
Which one is more cringe?
