Feeling awful and exhausted physically and mentally. But day 1 starts today.

Overhiring and project Hunting.

Are you doing same(project Hunting)? 😂

Hi everyone,
So I have had my offer from AWS come in. L6 non technical (demand generation team manager)
Do I negotiate the salary? How do I know what I can negotiate - can the RSU be negotiated?

New to the area. Any recommendations for pet hospitals/clinics in Westchester County? Just for regular visits.

So absolutely over these "looking for advice!" Fishbowl posts where people just want to hear their own opinions repeated back and nothing else.

Any companies that are hiring ppl with no experience?

I have to fill out a background check form for a position and it asks if I've ever been discharged from a job. Does getting "the talk" --i.e. being told your future isn't at the firm as a senior associate--count as being discharged? Any thoughts are much appreciated!

Let’s move out of NYC SF together lol . Maybe try LA ?

What are exits for tech transfer? Have an opportunity, but idk if I want to work for university commercialization offices for the rest of my life

Bankers who stayed past associate level, why?

I have a family member who is having a hard time finding an entry level data analyst role. He knows Python, SQL, and is AWS certified. Anyone know anyone or willing to refer him?

Yoe-11.5
Current CTC -17.8
I have got an offer of 24.5 and designation AVP. I got what I asked.

Did I asked less?? Can I re-negotiate the offer? I don't have any other offer right now.

What are the benefit differences between an equity partner and a non-equity partner (e.g. managing director)?

Best way to get an interview as experienced hire at other big 4

How it's like to work in Johns Hopkins Hospital ED as RN?

Anyone find it cute when your co-workers get excited about establishing a "war room"?

Does anyone in here know a fair bit about champagne? I have a friend who absolutely loves it. I want to get her something special

Amy’s recs for best hot pot in Manhattan? Thanks!

Latinx - help! We used this term in our diversity spotlight discussing Hispanic Heritage Month. One individual said that in English a group of Latinos would just be Latins to be gender neutral. I understand the word is controversial but is “Latins” grammatically correct? I assume we should just say Latin Americans, but trying to understand if Latins is also accurate.

Got an opportunity for devops cloud engineer. So will i work on their legacy cloud platform or do they use other competitors platform too?

Sober and Vegan a year and 4 months now. Feeling great and more creative than ever

I’ve slowly started drinking less and less. And the less I’m drinking the more I realize just how much of my time revolved around alcohol. From going to get it, to drinking it to fighting hangovers. Now I realize I need something to fill all that time with. Especially now that I’m not spending all day saturday and sunday deathly hungover. I go for walks and run errands…but in a shock to me…there’s still a lot of time left. How did you start spending your time once you stopped drinking?

I’m beefing up my LinkedIn profile and was like, “Ugh. It’s SO NOT FAIR that I can’t add my time doing service and working w sponsees in AA under Volunteers Experience!”#nohumility #willkeepcomingbac

4 years today. #grateful #keepcomingback

Secretly glad October is coming to a close. I have two friends doing "Sober October" and I love them but it's insufferable. They keep saying things like "Ugh this is so hard, I don't know how you ...

4 years sober today. So much to reflect on, not least of which how important it is to “get comfortable getting uncomfortable”. In my experience, it’s truly the only way forward.

Sending strength to you all 🖤

are you open about your sobriety with colleagues?

Hi! I had no idea this bowl existed until an Account Director at work told me about it today!!! I always thought I was the only sober one in this industry! Im so glad that there are more of you. 😅💓

Moving to SF Bay Area after 33 years in LA. Have built a solid NA framily and fellowship. I know I need to get connected to a new area of meetings right away, but antsy about the whole process.

One year this week. Grateful for lots, including this bowl.

Hey! Heading to LA later this week for work. Will be with the team most of the time but hoping to sneak out to a late night or early morning meeting. Any recs? Staying in DTLA. Thanks! ❤️

Any meetings for ad people in la? I find no one really understands how we work in normal aa meetings. They find it suspect when I’m at work till 10pm every night for 3 weeks.

I can’t handle the networking thing sober.... I’ve been sober 4 years and I still find it incredibly difficult... also a young professional

I have 4 years on Saturday and will be in LA! Any meeting reccos near Korea town?

More than halfway through a 90 in 90 and I’m so grateful for NY AA and that there are so many meetings! Also 90 in 90 is actually kinda great

Anyone read Quit Like a Women, by Holly Whitaker? Reading now and it’s making me consider extending dry January to 6 months, maybe a yr, or ever again...curious to hear if anyone else has read.

Today we had an agency talent show. Last year I MC’d it while slamming whiskeys between acts. I got great reviews for my on the fly wit. This year I was asked to do it again... (cont.)

Just interviewed for a job. Saw an old work friend in the lobby, and he shot me a message after we said hi, saying it’d be great to work in the same building again, "plus this new one has a bar.” 😣
