How are quant hedge funds doing in this environment? Better than average or worse based on risk they take. Curious about AQR and Point 72 and then of course in the UK: MAN group. Anyone have insights?

My friend is at a smaller fund but they are up bigly.

Smaller funds I hear too some of them have been killing it- but curious what the bigger funds are handling it

Hi! My I-140 petition was submitted without the immigration team ever sharing with me to review.

I have no trust to the immigration tram and am afraid they are hiding something from me 😩😩😩

How do you answer the question about yourself in i-944 where you can indicate "self" and it asks you if you live with said individual "self", and if this individual is filing for an immigration benefit with you or has in the past (again it's weird because you're talking about yourself.. ).

I had my PHR back in early 2000, then made a career change to a paramedic (I know, right). I called SHRM and they said I'm eligible to test again even though I only currently have 1.5 yrs of HR.

I purchased the online study guide and it seems that HR has gone in a completely different direction - more operations related than employee relations etc.

Did anyone find this online training to be helpful? I test in July, so any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks - lauren

Does having dinner with colleague with the opposite gender = having a date in the workplace? I was reading some news about Bill Gates and found it is being implied this way.

I am not interested in Bill Gate’s story - this is a general question about what is appropriate in workplace. It’s common to have working lunch with colleagues (sometime two people with opposite genders in a small team) in consulting (especially pre-COVID), but it looks like “dinner” has quite a different meaning?
