Seriously just go to your EDs/MDs and ask them if they need help with anything they're working on. In my experience people like just being asked if they need help.

Anyone on the Ops side of PE, and looking to help with a referral? I’d love to talk more!

I’m from the Account side but I’m looking to switch things up in my career and move over to Project Management. At my current agency the role I have been holding doesn’t seem to have that type of transition opportunity. Due to that lack of flexibility I have been searching for hybrid or remote options. The idea presented itself a few months ago when I was recruited by an agency slightly larger than my own. I made to the top three but was not selected for the position. Any leads advice welcomed!

People with yards, how often do you take your dog(s) on walks?

We have 2 older dogs (7-8yo) and about to move from our apartment to a townhouse with space for them outside. In the apt, we’d do 3 walks a day - 2 long (1-1.5mi) and 1 bathroom break before bed. I’m wondering what to expect with the shift to yard life. TIA!

Not sure if this is the right place to post, but I feel like I wasted 20 years of work life- as if I’m back to sq 1. Married with baby, super under pressure (by myself and the bills) to provide for my family. Looking for more payment security - not knowing when the next paycheck comes in kills me. Apparently I got so many skills etc., but I don’t believe in myself rn. Looking for a friend or someone who was in this kind of situation and got out of it. Of course, looking also for a safe haven/job
