I do civil rights advocacy. I use my policy analysis and conflict management skills most often as I’m navigating a lot of different dynamics among sister organizations and Congress/White House.

like

Payroll registrations, unemployment registration (or choosing to opt out), 1099 or not, UBIT, state solicitation registration, annual filings, private business use or commercial coventures. Skills and competencies I use the most is research and memo writing, as well as communicating with clients in terms they can use to take action. Most pressing legal issues I tend to see are staying exempt and then internal policies and procedures.

like

Immigration and managing staff. Most pressing legal issue is humanitarian evacs like Ukrainians and Afghan refugees.

I do the same, and also supervise the work of other attorney, compliance with funding, court flings, and court appearances, and maintaining stakeholder relationships.

Hi,
Would anyone please suggest which company is better between Tiger Analytics and Pubilicis Sapiens.
Role - Associate Data Engineer
Yoe - 2.5 yes

Any suggestions would be very helpful for me.

Some recruiter in Accenture lined me up for an interview for a role which was not in my skillset ( by saying that this is just an evaluation exercise and they will map me to the right role) and obviously I got rejected. Now I see that I am not eligible to apply the role which I was targeting for the next 6 months. Any idea how can I get this escalated so that the recruiter ( Accenture employee) should at least be careful in future before fooling a noob like me?

My husband and I are just starting our TTC journey starting with Letrozole and timed intercourse. I’m planning my 30th birthday trip to Italy in June. Is it too risky to travel if pregnant during the first trimester (in case I do end up pregnant before June)?

Thoughts on Prime Ocean here?

Reminder to everyone: use your 2021 vacation time. Don’t let it pass you by just because you’re not traveling. Take a long weekend once a month to nap and eat chips in sweat pants all day. We all need to do our part to normalize self care, and sitting at home doing “nothing” is just as worthy of a vacation day as pina coladas on the beach.

Finally leaving my position at a nonprofit in DC and I didn’t think I would be so excited.
