I just bought an Alexa for my grandma's birthday. Her old radio broke and she's been kind of sad because she can't listen to her favorite music anymore while cooking, so I thought this would be a good pick. She'll have her favorite music right there.

Later today my grandpa tells me she's not been asking Alexa for her favorite music, but for her radio stations instead 😭😂

Hi Folks,

Can you please help me with the below queries,

I am working as a contractor for Walmart.

1) In case, they convert me to FTE, can I expect any hike?
2) When are Walmart offices opening?
3) My payroll company mentioned my work location as Bangalore but the project I am assigned to is based out of Chennai, how will that work?
4) What is the expected salary for an SAP Consultant in Walmart with 7 years of experience?

Received an offer at 300k/year and a Google offer at 200k/year.
I wanted Google since I started the whole interview process, but I am now not sure given the salary difference.

The position at Google is more junior and the team is just being formed, which involves more risk. However, I like the team at the other company.

The difference in salary is really considerable to push me to rethink this. Is it worth it? Can you share your experiences of when you accepted a lower job offer and why?

For me, I set 20-30 pg min/night and listen to a different audiobook to/from work. The audiobook thing is new as I've never read >1 at once. Considering 1 chapter/night w/ 3 different books (3 ch/night)... I just want to read them all though not sure - may muddle if one > others.

I just “read” we listened to “The Nowhere Office”. As we are RTOing it really struck home. Highly recommend.
