Do you feel like you add a lot of value at work or just going through the motions?

Spent 4 years at a life sciences boutique and then the last 1.5 years on BD team at a mega-cap pharma. Hard to get deals done, highly political, no input in decisions. Getting some bites for D roles in BD at small biotechs. Worth considering?

Say I had a “friend” who gained 15 Covid lbs but is still on dating apps with old pics. Is that considered catfishing? She’s not overweight, but not fit anymore. Still good looking...she suspects. Is it best to update the pics? Or get on a BBW dating app? Definite fear of rejection at meeting. Thank God I’m asking for a friend because this shits embarrassing to type.

Is anyone else finding ubereats, DoorDash, etc to be less reliable in recent months? I’ve had several deliveries go missing or arrive hours later than expected.

Why are engineers so difficult to recruit? Sometimes they make me feel stupid lol.

I’m brand spanking new to the “official” business analyst role and have my first functional requirements workshop any tips on how to make this a success?

Super anxious, nervous and everything else that’s involved.

Happy to report: Did not fall into any honey trap at the holiday party.

I recently passed the CFE and was looking into the CAMS next. Any suggestions on how to best prepare for the CAMS? I’ve been mostly reviewing the index cards that come with the prep material.

Now that Alphabet employees have formed a union, is there a possibility that public accountants can now form one? I’ve been saying for years that a union would be hugely beneficial in terms of retention and morale. I know you all will think this is nuts but hash it out below!

How are you all doing? Here's a thought to get some of us chatting again:

In an increasingly hybrid/remote working culture, how do you educate and convince your business stakeholders to not do info overloads with emails? The risk of people not being aware is there but sending separate emails for every sub-program, webinar is annoying (as a receipent) I understand employee perspective.

Any advice? Refferal? Questions?

This yr would be the first time im eligible to vote. The primary is coming up for my state. Im a bit confused as to what were voting for. Arent the candidates already determined? Is Joe Biden not the democratic nominee and the incumbent president would automatically default to being the other parties candidate as long as theyre eligible. What am i missing? The resources online are horrible and say that were voting for our parties preferential candidate...again isnt that already determined?

Should I leave my company? Been here 1.5 years and was told I was getting a management promotion 5-6 months ago.Still no solid traction and they are opening up a req for it 😑no one on the current sales team has ever been promoted (2 years)except our boss who has been promoted 3 times. We hit quote every month/q/year by a lot. I have several offers at double my OTE. Already asked what the timeline is for a new manager and I was told soon and I'm "up for consideration." What would you do here?

What do you guys think about apps like BetterHelp and Talkspace? I understand they might have real therapists working on their content, but a lot of the marketing I see is so vague and broad that it feels like a lie. Seems like "This app got rid of my anxiety with a 30-minute automated text questionnaire" is the new "This tea made me lose 20 pounds in two weeks!" Just seems a little fad-like and money grabby to me. Thoughts?

I found one of my coworker's anonymous Twitter accounts, and it has a ton of red flags involving bigotry, sexism, etc. It's a personal account, so should I mention it to HR or not?

Hello i am negotiating a job offer in Toronto at the moment. I currently live in Montréal. What’s a reasonable salary for someone with 9 years experience in Toronto working for an international consultancy. Thanks!

Have you seen your app idea executed before yours because of lack of funding?

Is it worth pursuing a management position coming from being an engineer? What is your opinion on trying to go this route?

What's the best way to approach a manager about a performance review? I've been at my company for 2 years, and I want to make sure I'm doing everything right.

I just got a new job, but it's not what I expected. I was expecting a career opportunity and a chance to learn and grow in my field, but instead I'm stuck doing the same thing as before, just from home.

Is it true that less than 20% of engineers are women, even when there are so many programs specifically focused on getting females into STEM fields? It seems like it should be more evenly distributed

I recently visited for the first time the Santiago Bernabeu stadium, the stadium of the world-famous Real Madrid team, and despite being a physical engineer, I can not help but recognize that civil engineers are magicians, my congratulations to them.

How did you come about choosing the field of engineering you are in?

My brilliant team is being dissolved. My team is what made the work so enjoyable, not the job itself. I’m feeling pretty…stunned, I guess, and nervous about going through this again in the future.

Is the transition to electric vehicles going to cause a lot of changes for civil engineering? Seems like city planning might be affected

I'm feeling overwhelmed by my workload, but I don't want to ask for help because I fear looking like I'm unqualified to do the job. What should I do?

If I start a full-time position as a Product Engineer, what salary should I expect within the Metro-Detroit Area?

Do you work on any home engineering projects in your free time? If so, what are you working on at the moment?

My coworker brought a puppy to work, who bit my hand. I ended up losing my temper and yelling at them. Now everyone is mad at me for blowing up at work, even though this is something I shouldn't have had to deal with in the first place!

Have you ever regretted taking a manager role? The pay increase is tempting but I just love my job so much I’m not sure if it’s worth giving it up

Is there anything you wish you knew about civil engineering before deciding on your degree?

I was just asked to relocate to a different city. The move will come with a raise and promotion, but I'm conflicted. I enjoy where I live right now and I like being close to my family. Would love some advice.

Curious about what kind of hobbies other engineers have, personally I love knitting in my free time

I currently working as project coordinator (on-site) for 3 months 10hrs everyday with package $75k, I want to move to remote or hybrid work but I only have 8 months of experience from my previous employer and I have completed my master's in construction management in 2021. Should I stay in my role a bit longer to gain experience or I am not able to find remote or hybrid matching my profile. Your advice and comments are much appreciated.
