Day 3. Sometimes I wish I could get inside recruiters’ minds just to understand what they’re really looking for. I’m currently exploring opportunities in Data Analytics and Software Development, and the process really makes you realize how much happens behind the scenes. Every application feels like a different puzzle for candidates trying to grow in their careers.

5 months to the day for me today. It's a crazy job market out there, at some point you have to realize that the problem isn't lack resume optimization or a certain number of applications, it's simply that there are an unprecedented number of people looking for work in tech.

What is the solution to give to your manager when you have too much on your plate but your team is struggling to hire more people (like everywhere else), agency won’t say “no” to clients adding more work, there are team members with even more work than you, and finding a new job isn’t financially feasible? Is it even possible to fix?

Approaching 30 now and living with roommates in NYC, but considering moving to my own place. Has anyone found that living with roommates is better than living alone? Conventional wisdom says no.

I’m a pretty outgoing person and i like to have people around. I also like my roommates cause we chill. So I’m really scared of moving in alone and being lonely. Increase in rent will be marginal and totally affordable.

Precovid living with two roommates. One roommate has been living at the apt since lockdown. My other roommate and I would pay him a low electricity fee, since the ac is also keeping our things from getting destroyed from the heat and the WiFi since that’s a set monthly price. Now that electricity bill has increased due to warmer weather, if the bill was $140, any ideas on what the distribution should be? asking for suggestions, first time in this situation.
