Getting married in the Caribbean end of February. Going absolutely nuts with the range of my RSVP emails. Young people “can’t wait, so excited!!!!”, old people “too afraid to travel”. If it were in January I’d prob postpone, but I kinda feel like end of Feb might be ok? And who’s to say if I move it there won’t be another variant. FWIW planning to require rapid tests, the country requires vaccines everywhere, etc but people are either v comfortable or not at all. 😑 no q, just commiserating

Anyone feel like they regret being in consulting? I’m a serious introvert who wishes instead of going to school for business, I did something more technical and ended up as a developer. It could be isolation making things worse, but I’ve come to realize I really hate talking/facilitating due to social anxiety lol. But I feel it’s too late to do anything about it (I’m 27).

As a Data Scientist, I only considered PM as a post-MBA (about to join HSW this fall) career path. But I wonder if I’m limiting my options prematurely?

My profile is ~7 years in a few FAANGs and decacorns as a product analyst / data scientist / ml engineer. Worked with both engineers and business folks for a while.

I lost the passion I had for my job almost a year ago.
My company hired people with same or less experience than I do, but are paying them 30% more than me...
When I requested a raise, they said I'd get 15% for my "hard work"... Come to find a week later that everyone in the company got a 10% raise, even people who just got in or are awful performers, that means my real increase due to my "hard work" is only 5%.

Market offers are around 20% more but haven't been able to pass the interviews.

Can some one tell me how will Capgemini pay variable pay amount? Is it quarterly once or Yearly once?

I'm interviewing for Sr Product Design positions & each interview is 30 minutes to share 2 case studies. With only 12 min/case study (I eat up some time introducing myself & setting up the work), does anyone have advice on what to make sure I show? It's so hard to hit all the points they I'm trying to hit: problem definition through user research, wireframes, design exploration, usability tests, prototypes, final designs, red lines, engineering handoff, KPIs. Any advice or examples?

I got a huge TC raise and looking for a new car. I am deciding between:
- Porsche 911 base
- Porsche 718 Cayman/Boxter
- Tesla Model S
- Taycan base or 4S

I’ve driven a Tesla for a year or more and feel like I know what I’m getting into. I am single, 29, and have the cash to buy any one of these, but looking for the right value/car ratio.

Thoughts?
