Going through IVF in biglaw (think crazy hours). For anyone who went through this, how did you navigate all the hormones changes, shots and doctor appointments with a heavy workload? Worried that I’m taking so much time off and will have to take more time for the transfer itself during an extremely busy period.

Recommendation sought for a nice red coloured dress for the holiday season and parties! (Already got my stiletto) TIA!

Hey CGI folks, from where can I see current year holiday list for 2021 in India?

Are ya’ll getting holiday gifts for your judge & JA and if so, what are you getting for them? The culture of my court is definitely a gift-giving one, and I really like my JA and my judge so I want to get both of them something small (like a plant, but not a plant lol).

What holiday party did you get?
Anyone living close to an office, got a holiday party with food and drinks, and the venue started open for them until around midnight. Our remote workers got a one hour party w a DJ and trivia that let you win gift cards. Yeah it was nice to win a gift card but I found it lame in comparison to hanging out with my team in real life.

This is my first holiday season in Charlotte, is the tree lighting festival worth attending? Does anyone know what to expect?

Attending a company holiday party where they're doing a white elephant gift exchange. I barely know anyone except through emails and IMs given that most of us WFH. Fun but office appropriate gift ideas $30 or under?

Currently interviewing with Humana wondering how many vacation/pto days they give in total? I currently get 28 days and trying to compare

Anyone taking time off to spend time with family this week? I have the rest of the week off, and I'm heading to my mother's house tomorrow to help get things started. What's your favorite Black holiday tradition? Our family takes a shot together before we have Thanksgiving dinner 🤣.

Just had a look at some start-ups that are hiring and a lot of them offer unlimited vacation days... think this is a good practice?

What’s been your most impressive/successful salary negotiation when you’ve received an offer? Did you manage to get way more PTO or other perks?

Hi, I’m new to Fishbowl. Working as a senior HR consultant doing some benchmarking for clients. Looking for trends in PTO policies specifically in the staffing industry. Welcome your feedback and responses.

Since we're headed towards cold weather and the holiday season, let's talk about how we can take care of ourselves during the fall/winter and beyond. For example, I'm buying a sun lamp because it's about to be 50 degrees and raining for 6 months 🤦🏻‍♀️.

Anyone else lose power from the storm?
If yes, are you using PTO?

I'm 6 months old at D! Planning early promotion next year.. counselor and pm both are backing me.. I need to go to India for at least 4 weeks in Dec ... most probably would be rolling off from current project by then .. would this vacation hurt my promotion chances coz of utilization etc?

How much stock do you put on benefits? I have two offers with stark differences in benefits. Job 1: role I want, but benefit sucks (2 weeks paternity leave, 20% coinsurance). Job 2: role is okay but higher level and great benefits (16 weeks paternity, 0% coinsurance, 5 more days of vacation). Total comp is the same though. I wonder if I should just focus on role but Job 2 is a large company, so I can move around after 2-3 years I’d expect. Thoughts?

Leaving the firm next week. My team keep giving me additional work to complete. I moments away from just charging next week to vacation and just chilling.

Starting a new job next month, and considering taking two days off for kids’ spring break next month. Not sure whether it’s appropriate to request time off for a new job (I would’ve preferred not to take any time off for first three months). I may just be able to just ask for a single Friday off (so 1 day rather than 2 days).

Any thoughts on whether I should proceed with the request? I just came from big law and want to make sure I’m not making a bad impression on my colleagues.

How do I ask for a role change? I currently work as a designer for a company and when I have down time I work on social media for the company. Social media doesn’t seem to be a huge focus at the moment but there is a lot of potential in the industry. How do I go about asking to run social media full time instead?

For Big City moms (NYC, Chicago, SF): what is your favorite city strollers? I am considering buying vista uppababy (or bugaboo cruz) as primary and a yoyo (or mountain buggy nano) as the light, foldable for traveling. Didn’t hear people having good experience with mockingbird; but would love survey this group

Looking for job opportunity in Poltury or Aquaculture for kolkata West Bengal

Any update about company present WFH policy for their Gurgaon location?

Any firms that use CCH make sure your invoices are being checked carefully. We just reviewed ours and were over-billed the last 2 years. We were supposed to have discounts and the math wasn’t even correct across for the amount times the discount to the amount billed. The worst part is our rep then gave a bullshit story of how the list price was incorrect on the invoice but the amount billed was correct.

Happy to refer for KPMG SG if anyone's interested!

Hey fishes, let jio people know about this bowl

A production I worked on is $250k in the hole and owes a bunch of crew members money including myself. Looks like they just missed a big deadline to keep from going belly up. What should we do?

Any suggestions for production companies in AZ or FL that can handle 70- 85k budgets? Would love to package post too if possible.

15 years in, and that call to the other two bidding companies never gets easier. Especially on a Friday. To all the Directors, EPs, and reps in here - thank you for what you do.

Is Visa a stingy company?

Singaporean here. Got retrenched recently and am seeking a new job in Singapore-- looking at content, copywriting, paid media, digital marketing, communications roles. Ok to post here I hope?

Anyone mind sharing their salary before and after completing an MBA? I understand every case is unique. Just trying to see what the ROI is in the short term.

I’m a top producing salesperson at a mattress company generating about 400k GM a year. Total compensation is around 75K a year. I was curious if this is in line with the industry?
