Great initiative! Happy to join this bowl and connect with other bros and sis from the motherland. I’m from Benin, 28 living in Chicago. Been in the US for 11 years.

I asked for a raise in April 2022 after three years with my company. Positive feedback since day one. Learned I was making less than peers at other asset managers in NYC with less experience (14 years). Latest conversation was with HR about how they calculate salaries. I’ve been asked to provide examples how my role has changed since I started to justify the increase. Is this normal? Or is this just their way of denying my request?

Hello All - I struggle with time management. I take medication but I have no idea whether a task will take 40 mins or 4 hours. Because of this, I over commit and under deliver. Also, having been on the receiving end of criticism, over time I have developed a perfectionist streak. I won't turn it in if it is good enough. How do you break out of this habit?

Any resources to help the brain structure tasks and make better estimates? Much appreciated, thanks!

Hi fishies,

I am a digital marketing professional with 4 years of experience. I was really frustrated in my current job due to extreme level of micro management and no growth career wise, so I have resigned on 3rd October. Tomorrow, after a meeting with ceo I will get to know how many days of NP I have to serve.
It would be really helpful if I could get referral from you guys.

I am ready to take remote jobs & even relocate to Bangalore or Pune.

Thank you!
