Do any of you actually “slide” into DMs? I feel like that’s something I’d do as a college freshman to chase someone I met at a party the night before. As a professional it just seems creepy now, plenty of my friends were talking about it this weekend like it was the bee‘s knees.

I’m a new associate working for a well-known defense attorney in my state. On one hand, I’m thankful for the opportunity to learn from one of the best, but he also excoriates and belittles me for my mistakes. Any advice on how much it tolerable? I am here to learn and advance my career but he can be pretty nasty. (My mistakes are no worse than you’d expect a 1st year associate to make, in case you’re all wondering if I’m a major screw-up who deserves it) I leave work feeling a foot tall.

Do you ever feel like people treat you differently at your firm because of your age? Like reverse ageism? As if you don't know enough or aren't competent enough yet? Just curious if others have ever felt this way.

Hi all,
I have a small creative agency that I have built over the last 4 years. It’s been a rollercoaster when it comes to revenue, making it hard to predict finances & pay myself consistently. This year has been particularly financially stressful.

The thought of closing hurts my heart and my pride and can feel like wasted time. But financial stability vs time freedom is rough.

I also recently got a full-time job offer for $200k base with excellent benefits. It’s tempting. What would you do?

(C) Or feel confident that you're well-protected so let them assume any risks and get back to normal?
Am interested in people's approaches, since we don't seem to be getting much clear guidance.

We will all be getting 2%.
Am I right in thinking this company has lost the plot with archaic policy or is this logic commonplace and YOE is king?

Does it make sense to apply right after layoffs and then take some time while interview process takes hold or best to take time off once you get laid off? I’ve seen on LinkedIn people chiming in saying to take time off to reevaluate once you get laid off but I feel the opposite. Apply for jobs that week - then take the week off. I’m doing so - recruiters will get back to you in a week or so so then you’re interviewing two weeks out rather than taking a week to left the dust settle then applying
