How do you handle the “May we contact your supervisor” question? I’ve never had an unsupportive supervisor when job searching, but this time I’ve only been with the company for two years and I do think my supervisor would be very upset if she found out I was looking. At the very least, she can’t really speak to my experience in the jobs I’m applying to, since I’m using my experience in the job I had before this one (7 years) to go back to that field. TIA!

Just finished the first year, thinking about leaving consulting for greener pastures. Any tips on how to start the job search?

Full Loop at Meta is scheduled. I’m interested but I don’t feel like I know enough about the role. What questions did you ask or do you wish you would have asked your interviewers?

Question my fellow Fish Bowlers♥️ I had a phone screen interview. The young lady stated to watch out for the email, attached will be the link for virtual interview w/ manager on Monday @10am but NEVER received an email. Should I email the recruiting analyst and advise I never received the email invite? Thank you all in advance.

Had a final round at BCG last Friday. After the interviews they said that the would release results today. Then I got an email today saying they will only give the results on the next Friday. What could have happened?? I also know some people how interviewed on the same day as mine and got a rejection email today.

Anyone had good multiple offers and had one the hiring managers pressure you into taking the offer after asking for additional time to think about it?

Hi everyone! I come from Big law and have an interview at a federal court (dream job) and will be meeting two federal judges. Any tips for a successful interview? I’ve worked previously at a lower court. Any qualities / skills I should put forward? Many thanks

I’m 40 and recently transitioned to UX/Product Design. I completed a bootcamp, continue to improve my skills. I network, have coffee chats, attend virtual events, iterated my portfolio and resume. Everyone that I’ve spoken too so far say that I’m doing everything right and that my non-traditional background is an advantage. So why am I still unemployed? The few interviews that I have had, feedback has been I don’t have enough experience. I’m at a loss!

I recently had an interview with a very promising pre-IPO company in the AI/ML space for a SE leadership position. The interview feedback was better than I expected, but with a twist. They have already given the offer to someone else, but they still want to bring me on board and they asked me what I would like to do. I am in the process of gathering more info, but it is tempting to ask about pivoting into product management. What would you do in this situation?

Hi Fishies, Is there anyone who recently got interviewed with Gartner for Java Developer position need to know interview experience and questions , Thanks in Advance

I applied in UST as a Java Dev, 5+ YoE. During the Managerial Round I was interviewed for a project looking for people with exp in modernization Legacy apps. The allocation will be as a Tester but I'll be working as a developer. I'm terribly confused with the Managerial round, any suggestions?

Any recommendations for recruiters? NY RR second year. I prefer to stay in NY.

Had 2nd round with HM but noticed the job posting was pulled 2 days ago. Getting the vibe they’re planning to fill it internally. Any other telltale signs that’s the case?

Waiting to hear from Novartis on a job I interviewed for 2 weeks ago. They emailed me a Conflict of Interest Form to sign last week, which got me thinking an offer was coming but I'm still waiting. Thoughts on whether this form means anything? I daydream about quitting my current toxic job :/

I am interviewing for an agency and they haven't extended any offers but want me to provide them with all sorts of documents. Is this sus or am I just overtly wary?

I’m looking to apply to LEK soon and haven’t updated my resume since undergrad. I’m struggling on how to fit my ZS experience into just a few bullets and would greatly appreciate some tips. Would any one be willing to DM a resume that they used to lateral to LEK?

Is this legal?
My partner and I are moving out of our condo building in NYC at month end, and the building management (not our landlord) has communicated to us that, on top of the 1K non-refundable fee and 1K security deposit to move out (stated in lease), they are also issuing a $1,250 "sanitization fee" for the public areas (hallways/elevators), since we happen to be moving out during COVID19. We feel this is taking advantage of tenants during this time and may not be legal. Any advice helps!

Visiting some banks in NYC January 7-11 for tours and on site info sessions (my university’s finance career trek for aspiring wall st’ers) and would love to meet with some of you for coffee/chats

Question! I just moved(transferred) to another team of my company and received new title, graphic & creative services. I was a senior graphic designer at the previous team. What do you think about my new title? I know that title is not a big thing but why I feel like my title is downgraded here… Good thing is my jobs here at my current team are what I really wanted to do. This is amazing. I love my new team and people here! Super healthy working environment! But just curious about the title.

Any TIPS on “how to not give up on finding a job”. After many final rounds and ZERO offers, I’m on the edge. It’s a horrid feeling to endure and to end it seems.

Has anyone faced a situation like me that HR not responding for call or email and not giving right information when asked and no clear salary discussion from Wipro.
I see a lot of discrepancies with letter of intent from Wipro..
Like joining location is different, salary was given too less than expected Salary...
I've not accepted or rejected the letter of intent but I've emailed the HR asking to make changes in the letter to resend... Is everyone facing the same situation ??

Could a position as an Office Coordinator be the same as Administrative assistant or could be considered as a higher role?

Happy Wednesday everyone. I'm so excited, I have a recruiter call scheduled with @Meta for Administrative Partner position. I've been in my current employer role for 19 years and I'm nervous as heck. I haven't had to do an interview in so long. Can someone please tell me what to expect with the recruiter call? I'm assuming it will be mostly about the role, my skills and background? Do they ask salary expectations? I have no idea what to say for the salary question. Feedback appreciated. Thanks

Looking for another remote position

I’m being promoted from administrative assistant I to II. I currently make $25/hr and they haven’t given me a number yet. Not sure what I should ask for ?

Hi- I’m an hourly AA, been on the role for 6 months now and it’s my first AA job. I did not get a raise when I took the job because it was technically a demotion ( I was a team leader at a contact center). I assist two VPs and now they want to add a third because they’re looking for the “ 3:1 ratio “. Should I ask for a raise? Is this normal? I know another AA that handles 3+ people but idk if she’s hourly or salary. Any thoughts?

Anyone have ideas for jobs that are a mix between administration and clinical work? I went to school for community health and have a lot of manager/patient coordinator experience under my belt, but I'm also a volunteer EMT and would like to start using those skills in my next job that I'm searching for.

Most titles I've found interesting are along the "medical assistants" role, but don't fit the bill cause I don't have an MA license

Anybody have to take time off for long-covid? How has your HR handled it? I feel like any info I have gotten on FMLA and disability is because I’ve brought it up and have had to follow up multiple times.

I need help. Anyone have information of being an advanced medical support assistant for veterans affairs? I got offered a job in the SF valley .

The pay seems pretty decent& also have the pension plan. Been here about 2 years no issues.

How do you manage your money?

I only bring in a little over $2,600 a month. After paying all my expenses, I get to put away $500 a month in savings but don’t have much wiggle room for anything else, including going out money.

I’m very privileged to have a significant inheritance and zero debt of any kind. I really wonder how my peers who have student loans, car payments, and even children manage to pay their bills and live so comfortably. Please share if this is you!

Fishers, any tip to apply and ace for a role that you have zero experience? I have more than 10 years of experience as EA and want to move to OM/admin manager role however most companies only hire those with minimal 3-5 years of experiences.

Wondering what the salary is for this position throughout different firms. Anyone willing to share?
