I got 2k for relocation. it helped but after taxes, it didn't cover everything...but it's not unheard of. ask! especially because it costs a lot to get an apt up here. most are full month deposit + first month rent + random fees.

Thanks @google that's what I was looking for!

I got 2k for relocation!

You could definitely ask. But keep expectations low and humble. But say something like “could the company help with relocation expenses at all?”
I’ve seen relatively jr get $5-10k relo.

5k is reasonable depending on if you want a cash lump sum vs. also want them to move your shit/cover temp housing

Hi Folks - Does anyone have insights on the interview structure for consultant level (summer internship) in London?

I studied computer science in school but I didn’t do well due to life coming in the way. I got poor grades but ultimately finished my degree without any internship experience.

After three months of job search, I started for 45K at a construction company as a Jr App Support. After a year I shifted in to QA for 65k and now after a year of QA, I have finally gotten a position as a software engineer for 78K base.

The imposter syndrome is finally gone!

Hang in there, hard work pays off.

Advice requested: When you were a legal intern or a summer, what type of projects did you like best? What was most helpful to you when you received a new assignment? Anything you wish your mentor did/didn’t do? I’m working with my first ever intern and trying to structure projects so they know that the work is important and relevant to the business, and why, and to provide enough background info on the area of law so they don’t spin wheels on the basics. What else should I be doing?

Hi everyone, I am looking for advice on getting to the same company but in a different country. I had an internship at multinational FMCG company in purchasing in country 1 (5 ys ago). I then went studying abroad to country 2 and stayed doing the jobs which came with the visa - sales/accounting/marketing but all for really small companies (20 e-s max). I keep dreaming about getting back to FMCG co but in country 2. Applied directly/chatted to ex coworkers in country 1 - no luck. Any advice?

I’m a designer in the planning/landscape architecture dept. of a CE firm. Extremely frustrated that after 4+ years and multiple asks, I’m not getting the in-field construction experience I’ve asked for. I know that my designs could be better if I could see how things are actually built but I get slapped in the face with “I need you in the office designing/drafting” or “there’s no budget to have you go out” and then sends an intern to inspect instead. I’m 5 yrs out of college. Any advice?

I have applied to many junior and intern positions with no luck. How do I break in to the UX field with an education but no job experience?
