Leveraging his network? he probably worked with people throughout his 25 years that are now at other companies

Build a good LinkedIn profile, leverage his network and yours, and come up with a system to track and follow up on opportunities.

My step in laws are TERRIBLE. Not directly to me but family dynamic is stressful. They parent their youngest kid with pills and ignoring him, so that he does inappropriate things around me with zero correction (walking in on me, insulting me). They are all half siblings (4 boys 30-11) so they all don’t care including my partner. FIL also verbally abuses MIL in front of us. Yet they all want to please him constantly. It’s just bad.

Food was good though.

Hi all, just found out I’m expecting a little one but I’m nervous about staying in public as I don’t think it’ll be beneficial once the kiddo is born with the late nights of busy season and stresses of the job. Is it worth it to look in industry? If so, would they get angry that I’ll basically go in maternity leave in 9 months? Also, if public is better- why? I just don’t see benefits of being in public anymore. Also, I’ve been a senior auditor for 1 busy season if that helps. Helpppp.

Used to be an M&A consultant at a Big 4 making 200k annually. I quit my job to start my startup, but that is proving to be a very slow process as I was a solo founder and had to learn to code and build my app. 2 years after starting my startup, my husband and I moved to LCOL country and I got a job as a developer (making less than 100K). I know the job not permanent and I want to get back to my startup soon but now I am pregnant and worried if I’ll ever be able to hit a $200k goal again.

Let’s talk benefits for layoffs… Someone I know is likely going to have their role eliminated and word on the street is that the holding companies are offering fair severance, but only one month of health benefits. Does this seem out of line? Twitter and Meta seem to be offering more, but maybe because those are big shakeups? Discuss…

First time Dad and my 15 month old keeps running up the stairs at my in-laws place and they keep encouraging it. Stairs are almost 10 inches high with nothing underneath and I’m worried that he might slip and fall in between the stairs. My FIL is a bit of a know-it-all and keeps insisting it’s safe and I don’t agree. What do I do? Don’t want to fight the entire house full of people about this and kid enjoys it too much and cries a lot if I/we prevent him from climbing

Been trying for 2 years, started the fertility doctor tests, then lost coverage. Just got it back and did a “reset” appointment at fertility clinic, only to find out I’m pregnant. The irony!

So a week ago, I asked on this bowl why my application was showing under "Business Review" even though I hadn't had a single interview or call from Citi, today, they sent me an automated email saying thanks for interviewing but the role is no longer available? Has Citi confused me with someone else? So weird! And no way to contact anyone in the HR team....so maybe I'm just going to stop applying to Citi because clearly they are promoting internally and just opening up these jobs as a show 🤷‍♀️
