Do you think job hopping the new normal? It really seems like the days of staying with a company for years (maybe even through retirement) are over. I was with the company I was laid off from for 11 years, and people look at me like I have two heads when I tell them that.

I would assume we all had relatives who spent nearly their entire careers with one company. That just doesn't happen these days. Companies don't care about employees the way they once did. Now we're all just replaceable entries on a spreadsheet. And workers know they have to move around to have any chance of getting a raise. So it's just a different world when it comes to that.

That's a good point. The company I was at really took care of us (up until the layoffs) but now in my recent job search there isn't anywhere I could picture myself staying for that long again, the benefits/perks just aren't there.

I don’t think job hopping is the new normal, I do think loyalty in excess of 10 years is uncommon.

If I get laid off, I have a previous colleague that started a cybersecurity company. I would love to get involved on the business side of it. Any pointers on skills that are attractive in this realm for a startup? Would be mostly (if not all) federal defense contracting clients. I’m currently in Deloitte’s cyber risk practice but my background and passion is in accounting and finance, and business operations. Graduated in 2017 so still early career.

It’s known around the office that she can no longer have a female associate, because she talks down to females more than she does males. I came along and thought I could deal with it but she literally makes me want to not log on tomorrow.

Long time in the making; but we finally sold off from our 50% HWB short. We had two tests at the 3400 level, getting as high as 3420 today before the sell off.

I majored in Supply chain management and I have 2 internships under my belt. Do you guys have any advice or tips on what to do moving forward? I would like to stay in tech and I’m giving it a few weeks before I start pivoting to more traditional supply chain roles. Thanks.
