Anyone with two full time roles run into the issue of having conflicting meetings? What do you do?

What would you do?
My company contracts a web developer, we have a set amount of hours for the quarter and pay over if more work is needed.
He never gets anything done. Doesn’t answer emails half the time. The one thing he’s done was take out a blurb that threatened our eligibility for patent renewal.
We have another company taking over in January, but I still have some pretty important dev needs until then and I can’t get him to do a thing. I truly try to give him all he needs.

How is EY-Parthenon perceived for life science / pharma work? My understanding is that they do primarily due diligence work, but do people from there have good exits into pharma?

Hi Fishes,

Does anyone have worked at Vivid Economics or know about the company? There's very limited information/reviews about it. I was wondering if anyone could give me some insights, eg. the culture, people, the benefits, etc. Much appreciated!

What is the average earning potential for a CPA?

It makes me intensely uncomfortable when I hear people who should know better misusing the word “myself.” As in “please cc Kate and myself on your email.”

Have you ever been told off by an older attorney of color? We have one Black partner at our firm and in conversation with him this morning he told me I should work on sounding and looking "more professional" and not let my "tone" or "bad attitude" get in the way. I don't think I've ever had a bad attitude at work, and whatever "tone" I'm speaking in it's my normal one. As a Black woman I just feel super weird about it and kind of sad.

Which firms are you guys from?

Do people negotiate salaries when being promoted? Or you get what you get? (Specifically EY-P (M&A) from director to sr. director)

Other than losing out on the bonus, what else happens if you don’t meet your billable target for a year)? A number of associates at my firm miss their target and it doesn’t appear to be an issue.

Recently received an offer for Staff Software Test Engineer for Austin. YOE :11 yrs 150K, 10-20% bonus and 15K sign on and no rsu. Can someone tell me if this is a good offer?

Bain & Co. Assessment tips for an experienced professional?

Looking for a posing coach, anyone have any NYC connections?

Ok so another FAANG has confirmed layoff this week. Amazon joining the layoffs group with 10k layoffs!!

Republicans who voted biden: who are you voting for in January?

Today’s my first day changing my pronouns at work, I am excited and terrified!! If you did the same and feel like sharing, I would love to hear your experience 💫 I am so anxious!

Happy Pride! Wondering: we have an unique POV in life. Have you used your identity to help land you a gig? How so?

How is everyone doing?

Just wanted to say, as a guy in my mid-20’s, cheers to all the 30-40+ y/o LGBTQIA+ folks here—I know we roll our eyes at the performative rainbows on everything now, but you folks made this possible for the rest of us—you fought for acceptance, for our rights, and you made it through the struggle so people my age don’t have the same weight to carry, so we don’t have to be as afraid.
We have a long way to go, and I’ll carry the torch too, but I really think y’all deserve more gratitude. Happy 🏳️‍🌈

Hi fellow 🌈 🐠- Looking for a therapist in Toronto. Can be virtual but would prefer to do sessions in person at some point with the same therapist for continuity. Any recos or resources on where to start the search? Bonus if they are LGBTQ or have experience/specialize within that community.

Hello everyone! What are some things you can think of to help boost LGBT acceptance in the work place?

What do you or are you looking for out of your LGBTQIA+ employee resource group?

Looking to join a running club for LGBTQ folk or other agency folk. Is that a thing? NYC by the way.

How many people come to this bowl and wish there was more happening? Show of hands please.

I’m sure it’s not new to 2022, but I’m feeling more than ever this year how much of “corporate pride” centers around gay men and calls it “lgbtq”. Are gay women, bisexuals, etc. not as palatable for audiences? I’m struggling with this a bit.

Does anybody know what the tolerance + LGBTQ+ culture is like at Home Depot corporate in Atlanta?

Let’s not have pride this year that is all about rainbow colors. Remember those who have lost their lives during the AIDS crisis, and the years they were ignored by the government and couldn’t get healthcare to save their lives. Same as what is happening today - those who are not privileged don’t have equal resources, or even access to healthcare. That’s why equality should matter for everyone. It’s not just a party, it’s to show that we’re still here and we will not give up.
