Kinda how inflation works..

likefunny

because even ignoring the raw material cost, the geezer slicing your doner meat now makes £12 an hour (£28k a year) with minimum 3% pension and 15% employer NICs now slapped on top

M2 - calm down, why are you so pressed? Minimum wage has risen 50% in last 7 years so is likely a material factor.

However my suspicion is that there’s some kind of common monopoly or mafia that runs the shops and is driving up all prices

Everything is more expensive…

I mean they’ve doubled in ~7 years… this is not normal inflation… some places even 2.5x

That’d be ~10% a year on average. Ok, that is high, fair enough

At uni I literally used to get a kebab from a kebab van for £3. How is it £12 for the same thing in london?

Are you still buying them from the van at your uni?

Most kebab vans are run by immigrants and immigrants have very sting ambitions for their kid’s education. With the increase in tuition fees and increasing cost of helping them join the housing ladder, prices have to go up 🤷‍♂️

I remember as a student a pint was £1.79, purer times

Definitely remember getting two beers for a fiver with change

They’re still 3-4Eur in Germany

Hi everyone, I am getting ready for a job interview, and need to create a media plan. I was hoping someone can help me with the next task: basically, I need to create inventory recommendation based on past performance. What I am very confused about is that they gave me Booked Impressions (=4M), but in the task it says I should assume there is unlimited inventory. Am I supposed to use this 4M only to calculate spend, ROAS, etc., but can actually have unlimited allocated impressions? Thank you!

Hey folks, need some help. I cleared all my interview rounds and had completed the documentation too. However for more than two weeks the status on the portal is "offer initiated". The HR says the delay is happening because the people who need to approve are on leave. Are they playing around or keeping on hold? Do they actually release offer after this much delay? Please share if you know anything about it.

Anyone who has started up a side hustle whilst working in consulting - is it generally a good idea to let your employer know or will they make your life difficult/try to push you out if they know?

(Context - I need the extra income to have a shot at affording grad school, I work for a small boutique, job contract was ambiguous on the issue. Side hustle is selling stuff I make as a hobby on Amazon)

Thanks!

I have only been at my current company for 6 months, however I would like to take the offer, how do I approach this?
