I’m interviewing for BCG and had a principal reach out to me for a zoom chat. Is this normal for principals to reach out or is this a positive sign?

AIR is hosting our next Straight Talk panel discussions on Monday 3/15 on zoom.

Topic: Producers & Reps: Pain Points & Pleasure Points … where we dive into what works, what doesn’t, what makes the best rep & producer relationship and how can we be better partners for/ with one another.

Seeking freelance or staff producers interested in being a panelist. Kindly DM. Thank you!

Does anyone have Skype for Business installed on their personal device to receive notifications?

Zoom (huge chunk, currently at loss)- sell or hold?

What’s our definition of “ghosting” here? For example, I don’t get mad about getting no response to cold emails. But not hearing back after I physically interview (or Skype) will make me furious.

Just me here hoping that slack never adds the “read” notification on messages.

What website can you use to play simple games over zoom (Chinese checkers, chess, checkers)?

Hi music teachers! How are you surviving? I’ve been teaching band and choir for a long time, but distance learning and Zoom has me stumped. I’m lucky to have a job, I realize. What are some things you’re doing in your virtual classrooms that your music students enjoy?

Has anyone seen any unique places to find UX portfolios or post jobs other than the usual suspects?
Some UX Slack channels were doing well for a while but I definitely don’t see as much traction there. Meetups obviously came and went. Even the portfolio sites like Dribbble and Behance don’t seem that same.

Hi Fishes,

I got offer Letter from infosys 2.5 months back, now when I am trying to decline the offer by sending a mail to HR, it was not getting delivered as HR left the organisation 1 month back, I forwarded mail to feedback team of infosys but still got the mail from onboarding team with joining details and WebEx link, kindly suggest how to proceed in this case.

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

Anyone looking to do a case prep this weekend via Skype / phone?

What is a great way to make mentors during r WFH period? I’m a new college hire and would like to network and form mentorships in the age of zoom/webex

Generally curious how many companies offer phone reimbursement? My last gig did not but the current one does. Legally it seems, all employers are required to do so if we use our phone in literally any capacity (video call, slack, teams, emails etc). How prevalent is the issue of not reimbursing phone dues?

Who wants to learn semiconductor industry or chip shortage?

I like how this app wants us to market ourselves for likes in order to get started on networking!

5YOE+MS+MBA begging for likes!
HELP please! In return I can have a group zoom session on semiconductors

I recently had a specialist partner send me a fairly nasty email after I (a transactional first year) was told to ask them to review something ASAP that had clearly been on my partner’s radar for over a week. Why am I taking the (honestly justified) blame for this? Surely it should be obvious that I’m just the messenger here.

I started interviewing early Oct with a company that reached out via recruiter. The hiring manager was very straight forward with me that I was his top candidate and I was told all other interviews were very positive incl CMO. The recruiter said they'd be making an offer but it's now been three weeks. Anyone else had the process drag on like this? Meanwhile I'm taking other interviews and was offered a promotion at current company, but was very interested in this one. What would you do?

Anyone switched from big 4 tech consulting to big five banks? Would love to know which role you applied for and how, plus how’s the culture and WLB?

Anyone here have knowledge about viasat? Pto, culture, etc?

So whose tryna watch Dvorak later at Grant Park? 🤔 🐠

Been trying to find a new job because $112k just doesn't seem right for 3+ years as an Eng 3. On the east coast wanting to move out to California. Not getting many bites. Do employers ignore applications for people who would need to relocate?

Started at a big firm in July with high hopes- in the career path I wanted and I would be joining with other new grads.
After onboarding, it’s as if my team forgets about us every day. The training is non existent, there doesn’t seem to be any initiative to invest in new hires, my manager scolds me for not knowing enough yet gives no direction. I don’t want to waste time (colleagues mentioned it doesn’t get much better from here). Do I embrace the suck or look for other opportunities?

We have worked hard and invested into our respective professions!! i find it insulting what is being offered as far as compensation!!!

Staff 1 Rating 3, with an 8% hike. Good/bad ?

Hi All,

Can anyone tell me the salary structure in IBM?

Is this true? IBM

Best Regards

Got offered a role at a Middle East office at BCG - haven't accepted yet.
Anyway that I can transfer to a north American office (my current location) before I join? SO can't move to Dubai and while applying they didn't interview me for my current location just for the Dubai one.

I understand this may be a big ask, and I'm happy to interview again if need be.

Accepted an offer with BCG! Looking forward to the transition next month. Will be in BCG Federal. Anyone in this bowl also in federal?

Any book recommendations on excel modeling for real world business applications?
