Hi everyone, I'm a Mechanical Engineer based in Clearwater, Florida, with 1.5 years of experience in the dishwasher manufacturing industry. I focus on product development and design, and currently earn around $70K. Excited to connect with fellow engineers, share knowledge, and keep growing in the field!

Planning to resign, will I get my retirals and leave encashment?

Hope everyone in IFS is hanging in during this crazy COVID-19 time.

Any freelance media strategists out there? Help needed for a small/mid-sized BtoB agency.

At an ID firm, but doing 30% ID, and the rest is appellate work + appellate work in a different area of law. Team is amazing—well known people in the legal community. I love appellate work, want to be a state ct appellate judge ultimately. But I’m scared I’m locking myself into ID. What should I do?

An agency I freelance for wants to hire me full-time. They told me for a Sr Copywriter, 100-110k. I countered with 125-150.

I also said I'm interested in a higher-level title - I currently freelance as a Creative Director of Copy elsewhere (they don't have that title at this agency.)

They came back and said yes to the title and to 125, with a 6 month review that could raise it to 145.

Which is good for Sr Copy, but low for CD/ACD level. Don't want to screw myself over. What to say now?

Need suggestions please.

I’m a breast feeding momma trying to find a wfh because pumping at work is too much. So for right now I’m working as a banker looking to work at a fintech company.

Sorry if this is slightly off topic. Do we have any organizations similar to Latinas in Tech? My friend recently got a job through her connections there and I am curious if there is a similar org for desi/brown women. Would love to hear your thoughts!!

Has anyone used RCN internet? If so what were your thoughts? About to move into an apt in LIC and they are offering a deal with RCN for first 6 months but I’ve never heard of RCN.

Do people know if the big 4 are all wfh and onboarding that way as well? Or have they started setting return to office dates?

Being ghosted by someone who I thought was genuine. We were seeing each other for over a month (I know it’s not long), but everything went so well until he just disappeared completely for a few days. It’s not my first time being ghosted, I was ghosted by a guy who I was dating for over a year. I tell myself if I can get over that, I can get over this. But it still hurts so much right now 💔 I could use some extra support today

I will possibly be getting a machinist role through some contacts, and I have no experience in the field and I’m wondering what I could expect to make, when I look up average salaries for a machinist position I see around 65k but that seems too good for my age and experience so I’m wondering what some others in the trade on here are making

Hmm. I’m attracted to engineers..
