Guys, When you match/accept requests/ start talking to a girl and go MIA is it becoz you have multiple options? Would the world be not better if you just said yes or no and close the convo instead of

Does the Atlanta Office/Team do a fair amount of P&MA Life Sciences work? Or is that kind of P&MA work done exclusively in the San Fran and Boston/NY offices?

I have a friend who was out of town on a client and picked up a tinder date at his hotel. Later that week he runs into his date at his client site. Turns out she is in the AC department at his client.

What’s the best (most promising) industry in ATL (which one you see with the most growth potential, or which ATL seems to have a regional advantage in), for someone in their mid-twenties just beginning their career to focus on/specialize in?

Context: Industry agnostic, but have zero intentions in leaving ATL.

Any *experienced* AE’s here in the cloud/data management/cybersecurity space interested in a new role?

Veeam, Rubrik, Dell, EMC, IT MSP background is a plus

Happy to refer

Just moved to sunny San Diego with my fiancée and don’t have any friends in the city! Anyone open to grabbing a drink in the coming weeks? Currently in North Park

Congrats to W+K on winning Visa creative strategy (thanks AdWeek for the news 👀)! I saw they are leading the account out of PDX office. Anyone in the know if they’ll be hiring not just for the new win but in general?

Honest question - are the birds flying around the DTW atrium released on purpose? Or do they somehow make their way in via opened doors? Been flying DTW for years and love the chirping

Shittiest week ever? Laptop and iPad both break, hotel computer loses 2 hrs of my work for an important deliverable now past due, and found out person I'm dating is only using me because I have money.

Question time! Two part. 1) What dating sites or apps are you on and 2) do you feel like it’s been particularly tough dating in your 30s/40s during COVID, assuming that we probably date (on average) more seriously than 20s peeps? I personally have only been on one date! A zoom one last week.

Hello people of San Diego! Would love to hear how y’all are affording to live here comfortably. Please state your company, position, TC, YOE, and do you have a side hustle? I’ll start - I’m an advisor in Wealth Management with TC of $70k, 3 YOE and no side hustle. Among other things, rent just jumped from $2500 to $3700 for 2 bedroom and areas were looking at. I’d like to “make it” here but if it means switching career to make money I’d like to get an idea to make the right job change.

Moving to ATL in May and looking for an apartment in Buckhead. Budget is $2600/month. Anyone have recommendations? Also looking for new friends in the area, as I’ve never been before. Hit me up!

At work do you ever describe who you’re dating without using gender specific pronouns just to avoid finding out if a co-worker is going to act weird about it? Lol

Hi everyone. It’s promotions season for my team 🙌🏼 and trying to work with HR to field the market for comp rates. Any guidance on senior CSM roles today, comp + bonus at a company size of 60 people? Role is based in San Francisco. Thanks in advance!

I have solid experience in technical program management, any recommendations on companies in San Diego that are looking for program mangers or general technical leadership

Heads up y'all!

The company Poised is hiring for a Lead Product Designer, 100% remote, hq-ed in San Francisco. One of their co-founders reached out to me directly this week, so it's a solid lead 🥳

I'm personally not on the market, but thought I'd share with all the Design Fishies here who may be looking!

Need quick (10-20 min) mid-day exercise recommendations. I don’t need to lose any weight, just really need to get my body moving and would love something that helps build some strength. The only time I can really do it with new baby and work is lunch time so it also can’t be TOO sweaty. Recommendations on videos, guides, etc to help me establish some type of daily exercise routine? TIA!

Freelancers, what’s your rate? Always good to get a gut check.

Would like additional thoughts. 27M soon to be 28. Moved to Chicago from LA ~3 yrs ago. Debating if it’s worth exploring NYC/BOS or if I should go back west. Reasons for wanting to leave Chi due to culture fit. I find it hard to relate to ppl here of all ethnicities. More so, I find it interesting that I’ve been “discriminated” against by Asian Ams out here bc of my tattoos and “Cali Asians are trashy and ghetto”. I don’t think NYC/BOS will have the same issues but wanted more opinions. Thanks!

How does Garmin pay for a senior DevOps engineer position? It’s listed in Boulder CO but they don’t show they pay range (even though that is legally required)

How has teaching changed since you began? Would you change anything? Are you looking to leave the profession and if so why or why not?

Any thoughts on the best certifications to get in order to help move forward? I have considered the CCP from World at Work, but it’s fairly pricey to get by the time you wrap up everything. I was looking at both SHRM-CP and SPHR. Everyone that I have spoken to has the SHRM, but that’s also only looking at individuals in a small geographic footprint and within 3-4 different companies. I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks

Any recommendation for a good set of clubs, perhaps on Amazon. Just starting out. Been hitting the driving range with a used 7 iron for practice.

After I procrastinate I feel so guilty that I don't know what to do or say to the people I've flaked on—even if I only miss the deadline by 5 minutes. How do you bounce back from procrastinating?

Open to advice w/ managing up & recognition:
Report into a leader that rarely responds to my emails. Whether it be approvals or time sensitive information, they are woefully silent & getting time on the cal is impossible.
Last, how do you address seldomly receiving recognition? When there are opps to amplify my contributions they will not & even when someone sends praise they don’t speak to it.

Tech strategy to reduce staff by about 10%. Target date: Unknown. How: Natural attrition + layoffs. There's always a target, just higher this yr, & due to lower attrit, layoffs are 5-10x normal.
