Dilemma. I’ve been unemployed and on the job hunt since mid summer. I’m pretty far along in the interview process with Omnicom Media and expect I’ll get an offer soon. Is it worth accepting? With the acquisition and major benefits cuts I’m scared of walking into a dumpster fire. I don’t want to hate my life and have to go back to the job hunt in two months in this shitty market.

Take it and keep looking. With everything going on, I don’t think anyone would fault you for not wanting to be entangled in a merger environment. However, you might find a haven on your team away from any drama and like it. Go with an open mind either way.

Take the job and keep looking. You honestly don’t even have to put it on your resume or LinkedIn.

As someone who is actively hiring for a large practice, there are a lot of very qualified people available for hire. In typical times, I’d say waiting it out based upon how long you can stay unemployed could be an approach, but these are not regular times. People out of work are aggressively looking and people at the merged companies are also aggressively looking. There are only so many spots avail as the industry shrinks.

You’ll get paid! Rebuild the emergency fund

Would anyone recommend or share a side hustle that would complement a banker’s 8-5 M-F schedule? As of now, I do an hour DoorDash before work and after work I do DoorDash and Instacart for a couple hours. I do this as well on the weekends targeting about $200-300 a week since I am in a really small market. Looking for more creative, cost effective, and efficient ways I can supplement my average salary. TIA!

Is it fair game to report someone’s particularly polarizing IG posts to HR? Was friendly with this person but now I wouldn’t ever want to work with them after some of the things they’ve posted.

So I just came out at my small firm in a small southern town. Historically, I haven’t discussed my personal life at work— but I had to give notice anyway. I told the partners I’m moving to be with my boyfriend. It was a surprisingly lovely conversation given that I’m at a firm of rich old men, deep in the heart of Tr*mp country.

What you should do when dealing with a very toxic worker that keep on sending passive aggressive messages to you as well as in group chat and email.
Things like when you answer his question he respond: I know that
Or when he keeps on saying my change requests were just minor in group meeting but actually not.
And keep on saying how hard he works when he clearly wasn’t and already underperformed compared to an intern level.
