Cue random “Freelancer” popping by to say, “I made $400K last year and am on track to do the same again.”

Even though every heavily-awarded NYC freelancer I know can’t land a FT role or barely so much as a 1 week gig earning a mere fraction of what their normal rate should be.

I’m also not heavily awarded

Just started a new job with a 30k raise, but I think that’s more of a reflection of how underpaid I was at my prior job

Applied to 48 jobs this week = nothing.

I’ve had a few people from various depts on my team leave and land new gigs. So it is possible. However, I’m not sure how long they were looking.

Hi Fishes,
My total experience is 5 in QA, I attended Deloitte interview. First round was technical and it went quite well, they asked lot of theory questions. I answered few and quite I was not sure of answers. She gave feedback like my communication and confidence level is good and project wise I'm having good knowledge and coming to concept wise it's not upto the mark for experience. So my query is will they call me for next round?I really wanna get selected since Deloitte is mydream company

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.

I’m an in-house designer. My company decided to offer social media marketing packages to our clients. Today they asked me to take full ownership of that outside social media marketing on top of my current job duties.

I expressed a need for a promotion or raise to compensate for the major increase in responsibility, a responsibility that is not currently in my description.

They pushed back.
