When my job is to handle all the corporations issues does it ever get hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel? Like that this business will survive? It will get its next round of funding? This litigation won’t wipe us out… something’s I just become very pessimistic about the future of the company.

Curious about what kind of hobbies other engineers have, personally I love knitting in my free time

I started a full time in-house design job that pays extremely well. I barely have to work at all. This makes me very confused since I kept hearing stories of people working 60+ hr weeks as designers at ad agencies. I am not complaining, but I have this creeping irrational feeling that I’ll get fired for not working even though there’s nothing for me to do. Should i be making up projects or asking for more work? Or just chill out? I just feel very confused. Are a lot of full time jobs like this?

I got a decent deal on a small 1 bed in a luxury building (hell’s kitc). Should I do a 12 month lease or 24m?

Got the rent negotiated to under 3k + free amenities for a year (gym, pool, etc.). I’m afraid rent will atleast go back to the original price (+5%) and then some. The building has some sort of rent control but that’s predicted to go away in less than 1 year as per the lease. The legal rent limit is way higher.

Would love some perspective on renewal experience after 1 year. TIA.

Does anyone know what a Territory Sales Leader at Chubb makes?

What are the weirdest reasons you have heard for people being laid-off? I have heard someone getting laid off because they missed submitting their time-sheets for 3 times in a year.

Any book recommendations? Preferably shorter < 300

Dumb question - if we were to donate money to support Ukrainian military, how would it help them? Like who would buy weapons and how to give it to them while there’s a war going on. I would guess to bring things to western border and they would come grab but that seems risky still

For the GMAT Verbal, if you're a native speaker and proficient in grammar/writing. How do you improve your score? Simply practice? Or focus on re-learning formal grammar? i.e. Clauses, etc.

The legend got it right “Don’t trust HR to be useful.”

Divorced consultants, how much of your marriage not working out had to do with our tough travel schedules and spending a lot of time away? If not for this reason, why didn’t your marriage work out?

My SO has ~100K sitting in a savings account. She’s a student so very low income. Does it make more sense to start a 401K + IRA and invest it in chunks of 25K? Or max out this years retirement and then just throw the rest in an ETF?

ACN 🐟: how do I make changes to my direct deposit? They changed myrequests completely

Has anyone actually received their reimbursement for filing taxes in multiple states? I got told that it would process with payroll last Friday but I don’t see it in my bank.

Travel reimbursement…what’s the rule of thumb for when a client is considered out of town? Mileage, distance etc?

Losing motivation and drive as time goes on , and I’m only 27 . Nothing I’m passionate about and money just seems like it’s ever enough ($160k total comp) . I was lucky enough to be making that much at McK while solving social problems within education , Econ dev , and public health

However , social good isn’t pleasing my soul neither is the income . I’ve switched jobs to healthcare where I’m impacting people’s physical and mental health . Still no passion / drive

I feel lost / bored :(

Assuming this causes a recession like in 2008, and many people get laid off, how long to take to find another similar paying job? I’m currently a strat manager in FS. Scared for job.

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise. Not all the time or even most of the time compared to better candidates with specific experience for the role but gives you this wildcard shot at a vast array of opportunities.

AA delayed a flight 7 hours on Saturday before cancelling it and giving us no help, monetary or otherwise, in finding lodging. Rebooked Sunday for a very early flight, got home 24 hours late.
