how do y’all feel about logging onto zoom? https://www.instagram.com/p/CJnShDKA0F5/?igshid=5e27u1lbm6ax

I’ve worked at places that all have different holiday policies. EA has at minimum a nice 10 day shutdown from Christmas Eve through New Years. It’s great to know that there will be no slack messages or an exploded inbox to come back to while away. I’ve been at other studios that only give you Christmas Eve & Day and New Years Eve & Day and then the rest is up to you to request for PTO and this is obviously the suck.

Wonder what it’s like for you?

People who switched firms, what differences stood out to you? For me I went from PwC to Deloitte and now realize how good I had it with Google suite VS Skype and Outlook.

Anyone looking to do a case prep this weekend via Skype / phone?

Hi everyone,
I have an upcoming Product Manager interview with BCGDV. HR told me it would be a 45 minutes Zoom call with a Product Director. I’ve heard there’s no case interviews, but they’re pretty vague about what the interview is like. Can anyone share their BCGDV recruiting experience and how I can better prepare for it? Thank you so much!

What are the zoom happy hours for work like? I have one today that I don’t want to attend but feel like I have to

Do our managers have access to our Slack conversations?

Why the heck do Recruiters and Hiring managers do such a poor job keeping applicants informed to the status. I had my time wasted with an opportunity for a fortune 100 position for 3 1/2 months. Phone Screens, Zoom Interview with hiring manager, Face to face with hiring manager. (Then asked for professional references) , impromptu Zoom meet with other leader who was completely disengaged. Then boom... six weeks of silence vague texts from hiring manager they were still going thru the process..

Has anyone seen any unique places to find UX portfolios or post jobs other than the usual suspects?
Some UX Slack channels were doing well for a while but I definitely don’t see as much traction there. Meetups obviously came and went. Even the portfolio sites like Dribbble and Behance don’t seem that same.

Anyone else getting conflicting messages on whether it is permissible to use Zoom with federal agencies? Some are insisting on using it (MSPB), some are saying absolutely can't use it (DHS, USDA).

On vacation and hallucinating the Slack ping sound anytime it gets quiet.

Teaching Autistic Support via Zoom is so difficult. The behaviors are way worse and there is next to nothing I can do to help my students parents.

Zoom (huge chunk, currently at loss)- sell or hold?

All my office has done about C19 is check everyone has Slack on their computer, just in case things get worse. Should I worry? Or is this normal for the UK right now?

Has anyone tried nootropics like Thesis? How was your experience?

Hello all, I’m planning for a career switch. As I’m currently in Finance sector and planning to quit my job and to start my career in IT Hardware companies like: HP, Dell and Lenovo etc.. Before taking this jump I want to know how is the career growth in IT Hardware, how is the promotion structure in such companies. I personally don’t like my present job as it doesn’t relate any part of my interest.

Is it a bad idea to only get jobs through temp agencies? I just feel like they’re not keeping me bc I’m too expensive but telling me it’s my performance.

What are the most likely or common ways people are "coached out"? Is it generally a vague process or do they straight up tell you?

What’s the proper etiquette for telling your team that you’ll be switching service lines?

Looking for opinions on Manning & Kass, Ellrod, Ramirez, Trester in Southern California.

Worried because of my salary at my current company I am pricing myself out of opportunities to move into a rep agency that could eventually give me the opportunity to buy into it. I’m currently almost topping out on my salary at current company with no opportunity to progress. Can make good money for a while here, but new challenge is interesting to me. Struggling accepting I may have to cut my salary 10k-20k in order to do that…

Considering a move from a B4 to the West Monroe deals practice. Any insights from people working there or who worked there?

Any newly FL licensed attorneys looking to learn/practice family law?

Great idea! 👏

The EA/Admin profession used to be a gateway for many people to get their foot in the door and grow into different career paths. For most organizations this is no longer the case. Do you see EA’s/Admins growing into different roles within your orgs? If so, what paths are taken? What steps are taken to get there? What I’d like to learn is whether our profession still has the capability to be a doorway or if others are seeing the same things I am; limited opportunities for development.

I have a governmental entity client in Texas that wants to offer 6 weeks of paid parental leave for all employees, even those who aren’t eligible for FMLA. After the paid 6 weeks, the employee can choose to continue paid leave using any accrued personal leave.

Texas does not have a paid parental leave statute.

If paid leave above what is required is offered for parents, do we also have to provide the same benefit to other employees that are eligible for unpaid leave?

at what age in the industry did you start to feel that your age became a factor?

merry christmas and happy holidays everyone!

what’s ya’lls thought on mark read’s comment, “The average age of someone who works at WPP is under 30 - they don’t hark back to the 1980s, luckily” ?

How have you experienced ageism as a creative?

What’s the best advice you were given as a Junior?

Hi everyone, I made this bowl to have an open discussion about ageism, share stories and see where we can make a change. That said, what did you expect when you joined this bowl? I’m 24 and just coming in to the industry, so the more I know the better an ally I can be.

A little nervous as I get more into my career. How many years in the industry is typical of a creative before they age out?
