Anything before 9am and I’m annoyed. If before 8:30am I am irate 😆

I agree with Analyst 1, no meetings before 9am. Definitely nothing before 8am or outside of normal working hours. Not all of us are morning people. Plus it’s nice to get through emails first.

If I start 7:30, please don’t schedule anything until 8:30 or later. Lol

I start at 7, so anything after 9 is acceptable

Before 8am is too early. 8:30 is annoying. 9am is the sweet spot.

I say nothing before 10. We start at 9,so if you send me an invite before 9 I’m highly annoyed. I even blocked my calendar off until 10 so that people would not send an invite 🤣

I say anything before 10 AM is too early. We open at 9, and I think everyone needs around an hour to work through morning tasks before they're ready to sit through a meeting. Any earlier and I feel everyone is antsy and just wanting it to end to get back to work.

I’d say 9:30 for people in the office so they have a minute to settle in…

Definitely depends on your schedule. If you get started at 9, I would say 9 is too early since you’d likely need some time to adjust.

Do none of you work with a global team? If you want a 10 am start to a meeting, Asia-based people need to be on a call until 11 pm.

Google Can anyone @google give me a referral for the APMM position in Singapore? Because there I would have a higher chance of getting selected with a referral I wanted to ask if anyone could help me out with that.

I know this is a lot coming from a stranger, I can show you my career portfolio deck and the resume if you only feel that I am a good fit you can refer me. If you think I am not fit, no hard feelings just feedback would do.

Does it matter if I don’t meet the specific job requirements when transferring H1B? The job posted requires CPA license but I haven’t got it. The employer is still willing to hire me. I know for PERM process, meeting minimum requirements is important but not sure if H1B have such requirement. I heard that for H1B as long as it’s a position requiring bachelors degree and specifically occupation that should be fine. But kinda worried about this.

I think I'm really bad at communication, storytelling, active listening etc. I'm good at 1-1 relationships, but really bad in 1-many scenarios. I just sound stupid often. Feel like I'm surrounded by people who communicate so much better. Has anyone improved their comms skills as they progressed in their careers? Any tips or courses that helped you on the way?

With product design questions, I struggle to identify user groups. Once I do everything starts flowing and I’m confident.

For example, the question “design a podcasting app for truck drivers.” What types of truck drivers can I select so that I can prioritize a user group to focus on and begin identification of pain points and solutions?
