Came into my office this morning to find a small box of nerds on my desk. It had a note attached saying Happy Valentines Day. I appreciate the effort but we're almost two weeks past Valentines 😂 however I didn't say anything negative to anyone because the person who gave it to me is my boss! Maybe he just has a lot going on right now?

"Maybe he just has a lot going on right now?" That, or they just took advantage of a sale on leftover candy 😂. That'd be my guess. I did the same thing the week after, but I'm using it to bribe my kids to actually eat vegetables, not doling it out at the office.

Haha I didn't even think about the sale. Honestly could be a thing lol

I was in a supermarket last night and saw a display of Valentine hearts and other candy on the clearance shelves. I wasn't tempted to get anything, but I'm sure they were a good deal. Not trying to impugn the integrity of your boss, but you can't help but wonder.

It would actually totally make sense 😂 I think he's just playing 4D chess by pretending to be frazzled but really just trying to save money!

Hi Everyone,

I am interested to join AWS/Amazon as DE

Could someone from Data Engineering team share your experience around following queries?

1. Do you get to work on big data projects and streaming data pipelines as well?

2. Which technical skills they would interview me for? (given that I have few months of full time experience in my current firm & prior Indian irrelevant experience)

3. Do you enjoy the working or does it get monotonous after few projects?

More questions in comment.

As the CSC exam costs above 1000 CAD, I wanted to be sure if I need it before investing behind it.

Anyone here with experience as a Product Manager? I’ve close to decade of consumer lending experience including Sales/Advisory, Supervisor and Underwriting. I have have been looking to pivot into a more impactful role this year. I am due for an interview for a Product Manager next week. The company ticks all my boxes but the job description a bit vague. I will be grateful if anybody willing to share what the day role looks like and what I need to look out for in an interview. Thanks. Cheers.

Just found out that end of the year I will be promoted from analyst directly to VP and since it’s such a large jump I’ll be the lowest paid VP in asset management at only $135k TC. Should I stay it out and wait for TC to align or take the promotion and jump ship bc I will likely get paid more elsewhere given how recruiters/other companies eat up hiring recently promoted ppl from other firms?
