For those WFH employees I would love to hear your schedule. I have to log a minimum of a 40 hour work week (1 hour for lunch is not included) so I want to know how you spend your work days so you can also do the personal stuff that matters to you.

HI Fishes!

I have been offered an associate position in the Stock Research team with Acuity Knowledge Partners. I was wondering how would be the work culture and WLB, and what'd be the future scope for this role?

Thank You.

Hello all,
Which company between techm cerium systems and synapse design and excelmax technology is good in terms of
1. Good projects
2. Work life balance
3. Onsite opportunities
4. Work from home option

Would you leave for another offer if it was only a financial benefit? (15% salary bump and 10% higher performance bonus per year). Been wanting to move, but everything but pay is better at my current company. Team, benefits, WLB all better for me now. But I’m scared that if I don’t take it, I won’t get a monetary increase like this again, or any other offers lol. (I’m in HR at a consulting firm and the role would be another HR role at another consulting firm)

Good morning! Are there any companies that will provide training for certification for wfh nurses? Example: hedis, oasis, coding or case manager.

This general strike talk has really got me re-evaluating my whole career. I can’t complain about compensation, I’m paid well, I have benefits, and I have a roof over my head. But the work life balance and unsustainable productivity expectations that have been created by agencies that won’t say no to clients needs to change. We place/create ads to turn millionaires into billionaires while we’re treated terribly. Something’s gotta give. I don’t know a single person who isn’t burnt out right now

I'm watching the film "The Disruptors" and just crying (hellooooo emotional regulation issues). But it's so validating and frustrating at the same time. I've had a terrible several months at work, and I am relating so hard to the struggles even of the school kids in this. Like my boss is the teacher throwing me into the hallway because they are tired of me. It's also comforting to see who has excelled at their passion with it, even if I can't quite find mine and feel like I'm failing.

I was recently hired by my dream agency. I get creative freedom, flexible hours, and I can work from home if I feel like it. Always keep looking for better opportunities, you never know when one might show up!

So Barclays Whippany apparently had a two week wfh rotation to reduce the employees in the office but they ended up taking it back and telling everyone to come in as normal... major yikes

Any fully remote biglaw firms in NYC?

What are the odds that I’ll be allowed to WFH after completing my FLDP (the undergraduate kind, not the MBA kind)? I know people always say you’re more valuable to the company after you finish these programs but do I have enough leverage to do this (and not get fired, haha)?

Hi Sharks,

Kindly provide your suggestions about Siemens for Senior SAP functional consultant Role.

How's work culture, WLB, job security, Hikes etc

Does Siemens have good projects for SAP profile?
Like HANA Implementation-Rollout-Support

Do you present slides better (to senior stakeholders) on or off stimulants? If off, how do you manage your schedule so you can present articulately and concisely?

I am looking into a Product Manager role at M&T Bank. Does anyone know the salary range or can tell me about the work/life balance?

Thoughts on BerlinRosen? What is work-life balance/hours like? Have heard some negative reviews from the real estate group but looking at the tech practice.

How would an MS in Operation research program from Cornell Tech help enter Analytical consulting? I already have an MBA.

Can someone refer my profile

When it is not an urgent or time bound task, I tend to not finish tasks but my mind wanders to some other tasks. How do you stay on task ? Would love to hear your suggestions. Thank you!

What is the salary bracket in Accenture Strategy and Consulting-Capability Network for a Level 9 Consultant role?

This is sooooooooooo damn addictive .... I dont like what it is doing to me ....I need to stop checking the prices! I’m calling 1800-gambler.

Anyone in Boston?

Hi any Citicorp recent joiners who went through virtual onboarding and sessions? I have just got mails to fill out forms and then attend session. Haven't received identity card, laptop or any other details... Any idea how the process works? My doj is next week...

Business consulting - EY. I finished interviews and it seems the team liked me. The recruiter said they are discussing with regional leadership for approval and would give me an update by last week; still no update. Can I consider this as a rejection? Lol

Don't you just love when someone one row over in an open office plan decides to take a loud, hour long phone call at their desk 😑

Any recommendations on schools that offer PhD studies as part time while one still works full-time? What's the tuition fee and years of study?

Would you consider buying in Tottenham Hale - 2 beds seem affordable and the commute to central is short. But I have heard it’s a bit of a sh** hole, any opinions?

Failed AUD 68 Q2 after 3 weeks/150 hrs study... passed BEC 78 Q2 with 3 weeks/75hrs... Have until December '19 to pass AUD, REG, and FAR. Took last two months off. New hire. Doable? Tips?

Been practicing a year now. Of 6 attorneys, 4 will be retiring soon, and I was brought in to hopefully take over. I am troubled: first that my partners largely provide me with no guidance. They handed me a client with a large quantity of fairly straightforward casework and have been hands off since. There also hasn’t been any talk of a raise/performance review. How should I ask for guidance/mentor ship? How do I ask for a raise, or should I presume one is coming?

To NYC members: Anyone here planning on sitting for FAR in December or January and would like to join a weekly (or biweekly) study group on the UES?

I guess black lives don’t matter to the protesters that shot David Dorn 😔

Any e-scooter suggestions and the things to consider before getting one?

Aside from NFL / StubHub, any suggestions for getting a good deal on Super Bowl tickets?

I live in DC. After COVID lockdown is over

I am still never going to any of the Smithsonians.

Wow…covid is really over. I live in a rural area where we knew covid was happening but it never really impacted the community or daily life. However when I’d go into the city it was very very obvious there were huge life impacts and fear. I just went into the city for the first time in about 3 months and it’s like covid never happened. It makes me wonder how many other things that have drastically changed (like wfh and hand sanitizer) will go back to normal as people go back to normal.

Any recommendations for office chairs for short people? Think seat hights as low as 15". This wfh setup is killing me and I am having so much trouble finding chairs online that are short enough for me

I’m all about that work from home life. However it is insulting and unprofessional when a colleague who is in the office blows off a scheduled meeting with you when you are virtual as they bumped into another colleague in the office. Anyone else noticing issues like this now that we are in this hybrid mode. How do you address it?

I have a full time remote position and currently interviewing for another remote role that requires some travel for on-site visits (I'm ok with this). I feel like the other company will make me an offer and I'm stuck on what to do. It would be about a 20% increase but I'm sure it will be more stressful, given that it involves internal auditing. I'm not sure about leaving my current company because I was promoted to this role a few months ago but I need more money. Continued in comments

Anyone feel safe flying yet? Mother is insisting I fly instead of renting a car for holidays. I don’t see the point in risking my health.

How is the number next to your fishbowl heart calculated? Mine doesn’t add up to the total reactions.. just curious

I’m building a house and it’s just come in way over budget like over 30%. I stopped putting money into my 401k because ever dollar I have is going into making sure this house closes.

Best headphones that cancel background noise?

So I’m the COO of a medical specialty practice for 5 years now and I’m looking to compare salaries. I’ve worked my butt off to my current role. I have 21 years of orthopedic and podiatry experience. I’m well versed in patient care, medical billing and practice management. I built the practice that I’m at, completely myself, logo, color palettes, forms, vendors, staff, all of it. I have Tons of knowledge and proven experience but no college degree.

Do you go through your SO’s phone? If so how regularly and do they know about it?

Starbucks is so gross. Ordered the world's simplest basic cappuccino and eww.

After 2 years of making great chicory coffee at home, getting Blue Bottle, or using my Nespresso - now I can taste the difference and see how bad Starbucks really is.

Really wish Blue Bottle had taken over the world instead of Starbucks.

There is a surge of scammers sending linkedin requests. All are pretending to have top degree/work experience with job titles that seemed to be copied from some real person and it is very hard to spot them. Is there a way to stop linkedin from advertising me to brand new strangers? (Getting these requests everyday)

I highly recommend the new Star Trek show, Strange New Worlds on Paramount+

It feels like I’m watching a modern TOS or TNG 🥰

Good office chair under ~$250?

Just had a surgery to remove a lesion that had 40% chance of becoming cancer. I had a group text to keep family & friends informed. Nobody from family actually called to check on me. Five friends called to see how I was doing and feeling. Parents are deceased, I’m the youngest sibling (+5 to 8 years older) and the only one anybody keeps in contact with. Time to cut family? They obviously don’t care what’s going on in my life. One sibling never even responded.
