Does your company encourage time off around the holidays or are you expected to work like normal? I’m thankful that many people at my current company take time off and it’s encouraged to recharge. At my last company, I was expected to work a lot more over the holiday.

So, how many days left before you start the holiday seasons? What are your biggest priorities for the new year?

Best place for holiday office parties?

What's going on this weekend? Any fun holiday shops or pop-up bars I could check out?

I wonder, why everyone is not applying for FAANG and they’re happy with startups or other companies? (Not talking about who are not able to clear the interviews )

Hey Boschlers,
Is tomorrow holiday??

I want to take this moment to wish everyone a happy new year. Still on holiday vacation.

Considering a move to NTT Data in a healthcare consulting role. Mixed reviews in the bowls. Major concerns are bench policy, staff aug roles, 2 week PTO, and high turnover due to job dissatisfaction. Recruiter and mgr had great things to say around growth and opportunity, which doesn’t align with feedback from the bowls or Glassdoor.
Understanding things have changed there in the last few months, I need un-biased advice from fellow fish who have recently joined or can speak to recent changes

Want to attract top talent and build high-performing teams? Invest in employees, not recruiters:

1. Yearly cost of living pay increases
2. Flexible work policy (remote & hybrid)
3. Mentoring & leadership training
4. Reimbursement for continuing education
5. Career pathing
6. Employee resource groups
7. Benefits with low deductibles (Medical, Dental, vision, and mental health)
8. 401K with employer matching
9. Min 20 days PTO
10. PTO for community service

I am so beyond ready to leave my current job, but can’t yet, since bonuses are paid out in January. 😬

In the meantime, I’ve applied to a lot of similar roles (slightly higher) but have not heard - good or bad - from any. Is it common for companies to slow down hiring in December because of Q4 rush, people on holiday, etc.?

Living in a ~700 unit rental building with 50+ staff - any suggested holiday tipping? Staff at the building come and go all the time (we just got a whole new wave of doormen in November)

I'm graduating in a few weeks, is to weird to send a holiday gift like wine or a Christmas Card along with my resume? I haven't been hearing back from the companies i have been applying to and I'm looking to stand out.

How many PTO/Vacation days do you usually take off a year if your employer offers unlimited PTO/Vacation days?

I just started a new job and this is the first time I’ve ran into this. It sounds nice but at the same time I hate the lack of direction. Help!

Raise your hand if you are surviving the holiday season! 🙋‍♀️

Do you think we will be able travel by Christmas for a vacation?

Starting with our very first IVF cycle this week and kinda nervous 🤞
Nurse says retrieval to happen tentatively around 18th Dec but then transfer can take place in early February too considering genetic testing takes weeks. Is this the norm? Just fearing the team is not unnecessarily delaying things owing to holiday break.

A partner just walked from his office. By passed 4 or 5 people who are generally more knowledgeable on our banking logistics straight to the only black support staff employee to@ask if today is a bank holiday.

We are seeing more pushback from employees on working 40 hours. We offer flexibility (wfh), 11 holidays and another 3 wks PTO. Seems like a good gig, I think, at 40-45 hrs. Anyone seeing this too?

Are we getting paid tomorrow since it’s a holiday weekend? I believe Juneteenth weekend we got paid on a Friday even though pay day was Tuesday

After freelancing for years and doing well, would you consider a full time job? It's really hard to give up the flexibility of freelance, but... also hard to give up having a 401k match again. Salary would be similar to freelance money, but less time off. Thoughts?

Thoughts on Overstock OSTK since the holiday is around the corner at the current share price ~67?

Hows wlb and projects of HCL Singapore?

What’s a good career path for someone who is fantastic at social climbing (very srs)

What can I do outside the office to boost my resume and be a substantially more attractive candidate for top consulting firms in ~12 months time. Working in disputes and valuation role but want to go into management consulting next year (post MBA role). I feel like my job isn’t enough because skills aren’t considered as transferable outside this field.

Creatives who left for tech. What is it exactly that you do now? Is it still writing or art directing? Or a different creative role? Hearing about people leaving for tech so I want to know what it means exactly aside from the benefits.

Anyone here from the Merck group. Have some questions about the company

Hope y’all had a good week and hope you have an even better weekend 💕

Anyone work at Hulu that would feel comfortable referring me? Lmk! Thanks :)

What's a good show to watch on Netflix? Need rec's before Peaky Blinders comes back on. Thx

Just finished Ozark, so any shows of that type would be great.

How many people here wants to switch job, but can’t due to current market scenario or GC process ?

Comment 1 for current market scenario.
Comment 2 for GC process.

How much pwc can offer with 7.2 YOE. RYOE- 6.5 yrs. pkg 9 lacs. How much can I ask for the hike? And joining bonus pwc is offering?

Guys, your interpretation of today's townhall. Should we get our hopes up?

Hi Guys,

I have offers from Pwc and Nagarro, difference between them is around 6 lpa on fixed, does pwc negotiate on higher offer?

Any pharma shops in Washington DC or metro area?

Best coat for the winter? 30 y.o. Male. Really want a canada goose but that’s like paying a month’s worth of rent 😞

I was fired after I reported a partner for a serious (criminal) ethics violation. The firm covered it up. Are all companies like this in the end? I’ve lost my trust and don’t know how to start over.

Bounce tomorrow/Tuesday then going short with oct expirations

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license. I was a financial advisor but the role is commission only so I decided to take a role as an assistant for some time to learn etc. I really like my role, but I only make 32k a year and after taxes I only take home about 25k. I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?

User experience mgr salary? I support six product teams and eight reports. 20+ years experience

Currently a Wealth Advisor for Citi but I honestly hate it here with a passion it’s the worst company I’ve ever worked for in my life and I’ve been in Wealth Management in the banking channel for over a decade. Series 7, Series 63, Life, CFP, ChFC, and soon to have my MBA with a focus in Mergers & Acquisitions. I’m look to enter another area of Finance at this point instead of starting over somewhere else from scratch, but not sure what direction to go. Interested in Investment Banking or M&A.

I have an offer and want to negotiate

1. London base salary but I have to absorb all the expenses (train + stay)
I am thinking to negotiate to

2. home base salary and have my expenses paid for

I know that's depends on the amount I have to travel (and potentially stay) but at the moment this is unknown. Past 8 months was just twice a month + 2 nights stay.

The only thing I know is it won't be every week, the return trian ticket is about £80-100, depends I could plan ahead.
