Happy Wonderul Sunday! I have so so so much work to do and feeling a little overwhelmed. I feel like it’s the final push to end the year strong and set my set up for a great year next year.

Plus I am fully booked for every weekend for the next two months. Big things too- traveling, birthdays, etc.


Starting to feel a little intimidated and wondering if i can do it all. Any advice? What do you do when you feel like this?

I feel under qualified at work but I also don’t know how much of it is in my head or in reality. I head a team and they seem to be happy… but I’m also personally not satisfied what we’re delivering is enough… so I have this weird mixed feeling of the stuff we’re doing not really being that stretching, but at the same time I feel out of my depth. I really don’t know what to do and whether to hold on in the hope I’ll learn something or go back to a lower grade and a more comfortable life.

Thinking about transitioning from advertising (10 years as a copywriter) into public relations. Has anyone in this bowl done that? What types of roles should I be looking for?

I am project manager in clinical research industry (CRO). After earning PhD, I gave up my science dream to take a more stable job. After slowly climbing the ladders, I feel like I finally got a seat at the table. Half the days I like the hustle, but now I miss being creative. I want to take more brainstorming, decision making responsibilities but I don’t see that in the career path for PM. Career path usually goes like this- Sr PM, Director, Sr Director, and so on. But all do same work.

Hi Fish,

I am currently working in non tech as an analyst. I have learnt SQL AND Data warehousing concepts. I am thinking of switching to any data related role Data Analyst/Data engineer. Appreciate your views/thoughts on this.
Should I have to learn some more to switch or should take up any real time projects to start a career in the above mentioned fields.
Overall experience: 3y
CCTC: 4.2 LPA

THANK YOU

Heard frm a friend at pwc that in consulting they have per diems. Is it for all practitioners and practice? Seems tight on budget.

When do you think associates are usually let go in small practice groups that are currently being overwhelmed with work? Is it when it starts to slows down or when they already have a candidate to replace you? Just trying to figure out how long I have after annoying a partner 😂.

Views on carbon black as a product?

Any thoughts on McCann Health NY, and Red flags? Do they have a good structured/balanced workflow and team per department for things to be balanced out for each member, and good work-life balance? Anything to consider when applying there?

If anyone is looking for referrals at Servicetitan, hit me up.

Colleague has put in his resignation. They are offering him whatever he wants to stay including 4days a week work from home. He’s not bluffing and plans to leave. However, at this same time I was asked to begin working as a supervisor for the engineering team and I would get a promotion at the beginning of the year. I have been supervising and managing our team of 6 for months with no extra pay or bonuses. I was told yesterday that raises will be light this year. Yet today they spare nothing.

Any Amazon counsel or other FAANG attorneys willing to share how their comp review has worked? I’m really happy with my offer(lower base, really high signing bonus and decent RSUs) and was told their would be yearly comp reviews but wondering how that plays out the first few years...

Anyone here counsel for a parent company with a lot of subsidiaries but the parent company’s legal department is really really small? I’m wondering if a small legal department for a large company is more of a pro or con? On one hand I suspect it’s less organized, on the other it might be a great leadership opportunity. Any insight? Thanks!

Need to move to another location, and breaking of the apartment rent agreement is so outrageously expensive. What’s the best way to find someone to sublease /signs the lease in my place in Chi cont

Completely off topic
I don't have any friends.. sometimes i feel very lonely.. i don't have anyone to share my thoughts or feeling.. there is this void.. trying to pickup things to distract myself but it's not helping much... Seeking your inputs!! Sorry for this off topic question.

Looking for new team members! @covelle_company Boston Real Estate Team.

Anyone else bummed to see so many clients getting outbid? So many awesome people who deserve the house of their dreams that just can't get anywhere with today's market. It's rough.

Is it possible to buy a house and sell it for a higher price?

How long did it take after getting your license to actually start making money?

As a realtor, how do I find better commissions? The office I work in has only offered me low-tier listings, and they bring zero to none commission. I want to change that but don't know where to start. Any advice?

I am sick of being a realtor! I've been trying for 5 years and have only sold 3 houses. Where I'm from (small Southern town) nobody is buying. Most people's families already own homes and it's just a bummer to see all these nice houses deteriorating over time.

Best resoures for realtors just starting out in their career?

I am a construction project manager and have managed very high end 40,000 + custom estate projects. I am looking to do residential development projects as well but need a finance partner. If anyone is interested in partnering for projects please contact me. Projects would be self-performed without the need for a GC and various soft costs.

Is flipping houses worthwhile? I like decorating and renovating, so I'm thinking that maybe I could go into this and try my luck.

Why is there a culture of young realtors only? As a 40 year old realtor, I am far from retiring! As long as properties exist, I'll be here

My home had some water damage last year (water heater was leaking), so I had to do some repairs and took care of most of the work myself. If I refi, will my home have to pass an inspection?

Realtor fishes, let's play a game: I share some details of some listings that we have available at my office and you let me know if we should keep them in our portfolio or make room for better properties.

How did you get into real estate?

I'm from Baltimore, and lately, we have had a crazy buying spree, I mean I have sold the same property 2 times in less than 2 weeks, and the person who bought it immediately put it on the market and made an average of $25k in less than 5 days. Many reports show that investing in Baltimore and Philadelphia is the future, I don't doubt it. What is the fastest you have ever resold a property?

My friend bought a nice condominium and his agent assured him that it had a garage. AFTER he signed the papers and moved in, the neighbors told him that the unit does not come with a garage. Can he sue the agent? He feels ripped off.

Why are properties in NYC so damn expensive? At this point should I just move elsewhere?

Have efforts to increase diversity in real estate careers been successful, or do you think there is still a long way to go?

I'm trying to build a website for my real estate company but I've never done this before! Can anyone share some resources that will help out with the design and all?

Masks at open houses?

With flu season (and COVID season?) just around the corner, I’m thinking of asking buyers to mask up at showings. Good idea or am I going overboard?

I put in a lot of effort to show my client properties that fit their requirements, but they ended up working with a different agent just because they wandered across an open house. I'm so frustrated right now. Has anyone else experienced this?
