Hi everyone! 👋

I recently created a Numerator Employees Bowl to bring together current and future Numerator employees.

If you’re at Numerator (or joining soon), please join! We can discuss onboarding, work culture, projects, tech stack, interview experiences, career growth, and help each other with any questions.

Join here: https://link.fishbowlapp.com/dOZO/ttmx9tn1

Looking forward to building a helpful Numerator community! 🚀

I feel like gay men especially are constantly discriminated against in the workplace. I have been turned down for a promotion, yet again, in favor of a married heterosexual with kids. This has been the story of my career. Have superior experience - stellar reviews - people fighting to get on to my team because our team is great and I treat everyone well. This is so frustrating. Again and again, it’s a culture of parents helping other parents. No gays in upper level mgmt in our office.

Been welding for my company for 13+ yrs and I think it’s time for a change. The culture has completely changed and became toxic. My dream is to go independent do mobile/rig welding and repair then potentially have my own shop/store front. I have all the equipment and truck setup to start but don’t know where or how. I am certified to pipeline (API 1104) code in dual processes (GMAW, SMAW) as well as an AWS CWI and a CPWI. Any advice/input is greatly appreciated!!

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am. I was barely functioning and feel like I truly messed up in my answers because I couldn’t not think clearly. I have another with the head of the division next week again at 6am (pre determined before this interview). It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?

Just graduated with a MS degree focusing on finance. How do I find a job in this market?
Been talking to people and had multiple referrals, still no calls for interview.
What am I doing wrong?

Cold applied for an awesome role, had an interview with hiring manager, recruiter, and given a pretty hefty assignment that I’m really proud of nailing. They followed up with an email asking for 4-5 days that I am available for a full day of interviews. Gave them 4-5 days, started planning for how I’d get those days off work during insane times at current job, and now not a single word from them to confirm a date. Been over a week now. Sad. Pretty jaded. What can I do? Already followed up

Question my fellow Fish Bowlers♥️ I had a phone screen interview. The young lady stated to watch out for the email, attached will be the link for virtual interview w/ manager on Monday @10am but NEVER received an email. Should I email the recruiting analyst and advise I never received the email invite? Thank you all in advance.

What would you do if you didn’t need money? I have a fair amount coming one day and don’t actually need to work to live a good life (middle / upper-middle class). I work because of this vague notion of “ambition” and because everyone I grew up around is highly competitive and hard driving. I just feel unhappy so often and am wondering what this is all leading to. Scared I’m wasting my life being unhappy / in turmoil cause it’s what my culture wants me to do.

I saw some job postings on LinkedIn for Vedder Price. Does anyone have insight regarding the firm and culture

Y’all I want to thank you for the tax discussion/questions we have in this bowl. I've been applying it to my job and it's helping. 😄 Of course, everything should be taken with a grain of salt.

Hi I have asked to be an advisor for a startup. Its in its very early stage pre pre-seed. Its looking like weekly strategy calls and possibly some executional work as well. Like building out a sales process and/or training sales and marketing team members (this might be 1-3hr a week of work).

They are offering 1.5-3.5%. — I am wondering if that’s enough.

In addition to this the founder mentioned that he would like me to consider becoming a co-founder.
