When two families do intros to one another on behalf of their kids how does that conversation usually go

What do you mean, initial conversation or in person? Usually one parent calls the other parent (guy's mom to other mom, guy's dad to other dad) and they usually just start with small talk and then indicate that their son is interested

They both just flex basically. Talk about education/career/interest/religiosity

I just get the feeling it varies to a certain extent culture to culture

Exactly what you explained
Guys mom to girls mom

Have you already talked to the girl/decided to marry her or is this to initiate the talking process? If the former, they just go through family overview, indicate how you're serious and want to propose, and arrange to meet in person.

If the latter, I assume it's the similar overview and then it's permission for you two to speak directly (via phone, email, etc).

🍿

So it was super awkward 😂
God this stuff could use some process improvement consulting

Lol OP, spill the details

Lol I’d type you narrative
But maybe later
Just lots of long pauses and stuttered sentences, and confusion at the end as to what the action items are and who will schedule the follow up discussion lol
(I hate that I phrased it like that lol)

Hi guys. Has anyone attended the @Autodesk frontend interview? How was your experience?

MOSS ADAMS SoCal (Irvine, San Diego, LA) BRS people can you please provide some insight? I spoke to an experienced hire recruiter today and he said the company is moving to a hybrid model to include more in-person time between clients and staff. How often are you traveling to client sites and the office? is it as much as audit 2-3 weeks living in a hotel or sitting in the client's office? or maybe once a month? or are you working mostly remote? Thank you.
