Dreading the Christmas zoom parties...if I can’t drink and there’s no food and I’m just staring at faces and stupid jokes that’s not a party that’s torture.

If [said company] asks to put you "on hold" for the month of December...but you found a better offer, do you:
-have to follow through with said gig
-communicate this with them if they haven't followed up yet (but added you to new slack channels)

(asking because I no longer wish to work with them) Thanks for the advice.

Zoom meetings have been fantastic. I can highly recommend my home group SOS. 7:30 daily. Great way to get grounded as you start your day.

Today shit blew up so much on my two gigs all I could hear for hours was the constant barrage of pinging noises from outlook, gmail, slack and teams. Like some kind of hellish tech sounding symphony. I will probably go to sleep tonight with pings, clicks, chimes and whooshes echoing in my head into the void. Seriously y’all how do we not lose our fucking minds?

Researching the job mkt & pay for nursing: It is so easy to set up a first interview esp. as a nurse. Set up a zoom meeting, in the zoom meeting ask abt job details and ask for the salary range. They will give it to you, and in my case it was the same range for both of the companies. (Hospice oncall nurse here👋). Then you fit in somewhere on that continuum based on education & experience—that where the negotiation comes in—they will make a case to place you as low as possible on the scale.

How are you developing client relationships when in-person networking is out?

I'm used to hanging out with my clients frequently, grabbing coffee, stopping by the office, etc. Zoom/Hangouts meetings just feel really awkward and it's difficult switching from business development which was 90% IRL to nearly all online... Especially when I run a 1-person shop.

How about y'all?

Hi music teachers! How are you surviving? I’ve been teaching band and choir for a long time, but distance learning and Zoom has me stumped. I’m lucky to have a job, I realize. What are some things you’re doing in your virtual classrooms that your music students enjoy?

Generally curious how many companies offer phone reimbursement? My last gig did not but the current one does. Legally it seems, all employers are required to do so if we use our phone in literally any capacity (video call, slack, teams, emails etc). How prevalent is the issue of not reimbursing phone dues?

I’m interviewing for BCG and had a principal reach out to me for a zoom chat. Is this normal for principals to reach out or is this a positive sign?

Has anyone gone through the Breeze Airways panel to interview? Can you give me some insight? Is it a panel of several interviewers asking me questions OR several candidates being interviewed at the same time? It's being held on Microsoft teams but they have been very vague about the specifics. @breeze airways

Teaching Autistic Support via Zoom is so difficult. The behaviors are way worse and there is next to nothing I can do to help my students parents.

What website can you use to play simple games over zoom (Chinese checkers, chess, checkers)?

Currently looking for an outside sales position in Massachusetts.

I have 7 years experience in sales. But I am relocating from North Carolina to Massachusetts.

Would anyone happen to know any great companies hiring?

A majority of my experience is in the logistics and logistics technology side of sales. I’ve been working remotely doing over the phone/ zoom demo sales. But I would love the opportunity to service my clients in person!

Anyone here who moved from India to Singapore in a VC/PE firm or FANG (business roles) in the last year with new EP issued (not an internal transfer)?

How long does it takes to get the offer letter post HR discussion ? My HR discussion is done 1 week ago and current status is offer approval.

If you leave the firm, how do you transfer your work number to a personal plan?

I would like to hear from any UX Program Managers who are willing to share their experience.

How difficult is it to juggle a remote role with a hybrid role?

My current role is hybrid with at least two days a week in office. However, with the potential economic downturn, I'm considering holding on to the role to supplement my income.

I'm new to the overemployed movement, so I'm evaluating the feasibility of holding onto the hybrid role and the remote position.

How to refer someone for a role at JPMC?
Not general refferal, but for a specific role?

Any other sober folks in the sales world who can give me some advice? Really struggling to keep up with the office culture when happy hour is impossible for me. 1.5 years sober and want to stay that way.

Hey all! Need a couple book recs for an upcoming beach trip.

Looking for a great non-fiction, relating to travel or world history (not just one moment in time). Could also be about the marketing world or memoirs of a business leader kinda thing.

Fiction wise I also like fantasy, paranormal, and romance. Some fave book series are the Black Gryphon from Mercedes Lackey, Game of Thrones, and From Jamaica Lane series. Similar books?

After a year using my home office setup, especially the 27 inch monitor, how can I ever go back to the traveling life with tiny laptop screen? 😔

Has anyone used RocketBlocks for improving their chart interpretation skills? If so, do you recommend it?

With reference a previous post/comment, which industry would you choose if you are in Atlanta. Wanting to be industry aligned so I can skip or reduce travel. Thank you!

Hi fishes,
After clearing an online test for Medtronic and a technical interview, HR told me to send some documents and also shared some forms to be filled. Does that mean I got the job? :D

How many folks here have gone from data science into ML? And how many folks here have gone from data science into product management, or want to? Would love to hear some views here about career paths for data science people.

How's inflation and cost of living in Texas this year and any predictions moving forward? With the recession looming or already here I'd like to relocate to somewhere cheaper (currently in Seattle), but only if it's going to stay that way.

Just fired my therapist. Feels better than it should

Anyone took personal loan from HDFC !!
What are their interest rates and charges ?
Which bank is best for personal loan considering all charges/ interest rates and all ??

I don’t get paid to write advertising. I get paid to sit through meetings like these. Kill me.

Pretty tickled when creatives beta test their LinkedIn jokes on here.

Leo has the best corporate Christmas party in Chicago.....there I said it

I want to leave but I’m stuck in a lease signed in January. Everyone I know is moving home to work remotely and save money. I’ve never felt more stuck.

Accounts vs Creatives. Which discipline is better (people, salary, ext) ?

Anyone else feel being a creative director is just not all it was cracked up to be?

My anxiety makes me good at my job. My incessant checking, and double checking, and analyzing has earned me praise, trust, and early promotions. Sometimes I wonder, if I were to take medication to give myself some relief, and to stop the panic attacks, would I be less productive? And then I wonder, do I value my own health so little? But I’m so validated by my performance...sad isn’t it? Hope I’m not alone.

Honestly how long have you been seeking a new job and to what extent are you searching... someone give me some hope

I think Alexa is my best friend.

My AD isn’t good at conceptualization and isn’t helping me come up with ideas. (Maybe bc they went from GD to AD). How do I convince them their job involves more than graphic design and mock ups?

got excited about dental work today because it meant I got to spend an hour away from work during the day. is that super depressing?

Unpopular opinion: I support my lgbtqia+ brothers and sisters and Pride month, but nobody’s changing their company logo for black history month. Just happened to be job searching & saw all the 🌈logos

Got way too drunk at a work event last night. Please tell me horror stories to make me feel better 🙇🏽

I absolutely HATE third party recruiters. They continuously waste my time, always slice my rate in half, and have never have solidified a project for me — PLEASE GO AWAY!

ahhhh.. I feel better now 💆🏻‍♂️

Despite all the cool super bowl spots that have aired, and will air, Nike/wK is going drop a tribute spot for the mamba. And it will be Bigger than Kap’s Spot.

Breakfast food is so much better and energizing at lunch (11:30 - 12:30) than it is early in the morning.

I work so much that I don’t have time to wash my hair more then once a week😑

Is the Pee Tape real? And if it comes out, what happens? Nothing, right?

Giving notice tomorrow. Accepted another offer. Nervous to tell my boss because I know I’ll be leaving them screwed but I’m miserable. Love my team. The client is stupid and the work is soul crushingly uncreative. But still feel guilty :(

Everyone is jumping ship and I want to join but this is my first job and haven’t even hit a year here
