I work in accounting for an insurance brokerage firm. I put in my 2 weeks notice today and was told by my manager that they may ask me to not work the next 2 weeks (with pay) since I’m going to a competitor. Has anyone ever experienced this? Is this the norm?

Blue shield of CA fired 375 people. Any other insurance companies having massive layoffs?

How tough is it to break into a FAANG PM role at mid-level if you have less prestigious experience? I have 10+ YOE in product, but some was at a tiny meh startup that fizzled out, some was in the digital wing of a large old healthcare org, and though my current role is GPM at a “name brand” tech company, it’s on the smaller side. Went to a good-but-not-Ivy school. What qualifications and experience are FAANG companies looking for when hiring mid-level PMs? Can I break in at mid-level from here?

Looking to reduce electricity bill, 5 line phone bills and car insurance. Any suggestions for what companies I can use or how much usually are the charges for everyone here?

I have a manager that does not seem to understand mental illnesses, disorders, etc. He thinks I am making excuses rather than trying to explain things (I have diagnosed ADHD, anxiety, and depression) and I’m trying to take ownership for issues but also help him understand what I am describing better as well. We are sitting down for a conversation later this week. Any advice on how to gently educate or help with his understanding of neurodivergence and other mental health considerations?

Has anyone made the jump from Health IT (think Cerner/Epic/Meditech implementation in hospitals) to Management Consulting? Curious to hear how you made the jump and how you found the transition.

I feel like so much of the media discussion about people NOT going back to work is centered on POC. I have white coworkers just as frustrated. Is this just another example of how POC are having the authentic conversation no one else is willing to have?

My turnips never go up past 88 - are they trying to push me to go to other islands or what? Also, I’m the secondary on this game. Can I even do that?

I’m having job conversations with MLB and would love to get some insight on the culture, salary growth, professional growth, etc.

I started a job with a tutoring company. I had to go in for training at 2pm one day. They never told me how long I would work until I got there. Turns out I had to work until 7:30. 5 and a half hours of training. My previous experience with the same company (diff franchise) only required 1 hour of training. Anyways at the end of my shift, they said I don’t get paid for that day. They didn’t guarantee pay the next day, either. I left and said it was illegal. Was I right?

Anyone know rough salary ranges for Fortune 100 media company as an Associate Counsel/Counsel position. Spoke to a recruiter and they said the range for Associate Counsel was 110K base. Isn't this way below market for someone with a few years experience?

I’ve always avoided annuities but think this one from NY Life is interesting. It’s called a Variable Investment Fund and you can add an Investment Preservation Rider for a fee. The IPR guarantees your investment return will at least be the cash you put in.

Typical portfolio returns about 7.5% after all fees. The commission fee is 2%.

So you are attenuating some upside and paying a pretty hefty fee, but you are insuring agains the downside.

Thoughts?

Moving in about 3 weeks. Thoughts / recommendations on removal firms etc? We have maybe 2 vans of stuff to take 30 blocks on Manhattan.

Consultants - need advice on how to get the "inside scoop" of a project (D, BAH, ACN etc). Knowing that satisfaction working for fed contracts in these firms are highly dependent on project and team. I've been searching around, no one seems to be asking lol (like hey interviewing for position for XXX project, what is it like?). So need advice on how to get the intel before making a project switch?

I️ was working on proposal coordination for a non profit before and then I got an offer to work in Tech. I️ miss proposals tbh but every time I️ interview for a proposal coordination role for a gov contract I️ blow it because the proposals are different from what I️ worked on in the past. Any advice on how to get past this so they give me a chance to learn?
