Hi All,

I have received offer letter from CTS, they have given link to start BGV and pre-onboarding process. It requires to provide Employer/Supervisor/HR details.

Since I have 90 days of notice period. Can you please help me should I begin the process now or can I wait for my DOJ.

I'm waiting for other offers as well and then decide. But not sure, by that time CTS will hold the offer letter or not if I don't start the BGV and pre-onboarding process.

Thanks in advance.

This might be philosophical but wanted to understand if we should get satisfied and be happy with what we have or keep striving for more?

Reason I am asking this is - I earn close to 1.5 lakhs every month and if someone had told me this during my college days I would have taken it eyes closed thinking this is more than enough. But today, I am not able to be satisfied and I don't want this to become an affliction so thought to share with others here and get to know the general sentiments.

I had a panel interview two weeks ago. I sent the recruiter a status check email last Friday and haven't heard back. I'm really interested in this company and still see the role posted on their site. I'd like to send another email today (to the hiring mgr and recruiter) reiterating my interest along with a list of references. Thoughts on sending the references without them asking? I don't do well with panel interviews and I'm hoping they look past that and check my references.

Who here has pitched an idea only to be told that it's a dumb one but then you see a commercial and it's your idea?

I have a theory - Whoever reported the pic thread was just jealous

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious? Millennials like us always assume we’re about to get fired - I actually have been laid off in a meeting with that title. But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.

Anyone who has started up a side hustle whilst working in consulting - is it generally a good idea to let your employer know or will they make your life difficult/try to push you out if they know?

(Context - I need the extra income to have a shot at affording grad school, I work for a small boutique, job contract was ambiguous on the issue. Side hustle is selling stuff I make as a hobby on Amazon)

Thanks!

Anyone have an idea on the type of questions the HR team at a new job will ask your references? I have 2 YOE.

@guys, is it weird if a girl you don’t know DMs you and says she came across your profile on Hinge/thinks you’re cute? Is that creepy?

Context: I swiped right on a guy but he hasn’t matched with me so not sure if he X me out or just hasn’t checked the app (it’s been 2 days)

Deeply afraid of being married to someone like the girl in sex/life on Netflix

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 😂.

How many matters is typical for one associate to handle (BL lit)? I know it is group-specific, but just trying to get a general idea. I’m a 2nd year and I am the only associate staffed on about 30 cases-meaning I keep track of all deadlines, do all day to day assignments, keep on top of following up with client/OC, and all research/drafting. Partners handle deps/court but that is about it. Is this a normal case load to be responsible for as a jr? I being dramatic by thinking this is too much?

I’m pretty passive when I’m disrespected by creative but I think it sets a bad example for my team. If any of my reports were spoken to the way I was I’d raise hell...how set example?

What is the process to book the hotel for quarantine in Toronto upon landing? How much will it cost?

Many of college alumni are already working with cognizant. Even mailed them what part of education is blacklisted but they are not replying.should I still expect offer letter from them?
