Hi! Sharing this bowl in a few threads to gain some interest.

Anyone around the Philly area want to be friends? Recently got laid off, and don’t have any friends around the area so yeah🙃

Curious what tools/exercises other designers use when pressure testing new concepts. We jumped immediately into testing mid-fidelity wireframes with users and it feels premature imo.

Any books/blogs/sites you recommend for some overarching theories on best ux practices?

I understand a CofC is triggered in an equity deal, but is that also triggered in an asset deal (along with assignment, obviously)?

Is there a specific reason why Siegfried does pre-employment drug testing? I've never seen a professional services firm do this and weed is already legal in my state

Recent grads - what was your major and what kind of work are you doing now? Also what was your starting salary?

So I’m in industry from big 4, and a colleague with same yoe comes from MBB. High paying tech firm. I think I work harder and produce quality content at speed, but they can hold executive conversations that tend to impress senior stakeholders.

Big 4 produces work horses and MBB produces leaders. Also they could be a work horse too since I don’t have full visibility.

Anyone have similar experiences or do I just suck at executive stakeholder management?

I have joined Nagarro almost a year now as a senior architect. However, I see lot of issues here. The company is great so far as employee friendliness is concerned. It may be rated as the top most company in that regard and that is why attrition is well within control. However, there are issues:

1. Project Allocation - allocated to projects without fitment with the role or skills. No internal job portal

2. Lots of seniors in bench for long time

3. No way to give company feedback

Has anyone been through a job search with a Bar issue hanging over them? I’m being terminated at year’s end and the Bar still has not resolved discipline over a misdemeanor offense from which I just got completed diversion and expungement. Isn’t this just a total disqualifier for new work until I have a resolution?

Hi fishes, I am looking for an opportunity in Siebel admin/ Siebel upgrade. Currently working as a Sr Analyst. Any leads would be helpful.

I get asked all the time to consult for certain clients on the marketplace pertaining to my area of expertise at my current job. Is it unethical to take these paid calls even if I remain anonymous and do not disclose any confidential information?

Can someone explain the Marriott status process to me? I am one year away from hitting life time status but doesn’t look like I am going to hit the 75 nights this year to keep titanium. (Cont. below)

Hey fishes, given that half the corporate world believes that there is an upcoming recession in 2023, how worried are you guys about job safety?

Hi everyone! Thank you for indulging me in this idea. I’m planning to send out a survey tomorrow to see what/when/where is the best time to do a meet up. I’m shooting for mid-March. V excited!

Anyone else think you're better off going to a restaurant than a grocery store? Went out for dinner the other night and there wasn't a soul in the place. No waiting either. e10 DT gets a thumbs up

Anyone interested in getting together for an outdoor patio/rooftop dinner (with all proper safety protocols) in the next couple of weeks?

Ciao! I am interested in creating a supper club in LA where people can meet and interact through the love for food. Interested? More info on IG as raguandmosh

Anyone else avoiding dining out now because of the virus?

Hi everyone! Let's get together for a meal and a Meetup!

Spouse made reservations for my birthday at n/Naka that will probably be cancelled due to the LA County news about extending stay-at-home 😭😷

With things as they are, anybody have favorite delivery or pick-up spots for dinners? Cooking is fun but starting to get repetitive!

Hi!

Today I read the op-ed in LA Weekly by the Preux and Proper owner, Josh Kopel. When this group started, it was a dream of mine to meet you while enjoying a drink or a meal and build a community of people who enjoy the city and wanted to explore its food. It’s surreal to think that we have been in lockdown for this long. I know many restaurants may be struggling and if you have a favorite, a local gem, please share with us.

Best Viet/pho spots? I had found my own gem before moving from SF Bay area, but now need a new watering hole. Only place I have been is Little Sister. Very good but not sure pho is their specialty

Attended a few Disco Dining events last year. They’re sporadic but interesting.

😭 tonight was supposed to be reservations at n/naka for my birthday 😭

The Burrow in DTLA makes a stellar sandwich. One of the few places I've seen that imports jamon iberico. Very cool lounge, tucked away in a basement with no cell service, to enjoy a drink in peace at.

Hi everyone! Gonna send our first meet up invite later tonight. I’m finalizing arrangements with the restaurant. Stay tuned!

Anyone know of K bbq “happy hours” or other cheap but good bbq options in Ktown +/- 1 neighborhood? They have them in The Bay but want to find one here.
