How much are you spending on food? My husband and I just tracked our year food spend and we averaged $2500 a month between groceries and eating out. It’s just the two of us and I knew w had some bad habits but I am so disgusted and embarrassed by this. It came out to $1300 groceries and $1200 eating out. We both work from home and love to cook.

I started full time at an agency mid pandemic so have never once worked in the office. I find myself working 50+ hour weeks even from home. Everyone who says "I can't wait to be back at the office" - are they really serious? To tack on commute time and public transit anxiety, wake up at the crack of dawn. Will working from the office somehow decrease the work load and increase productivity? Genuinely curious who wants to go back and why.

UK market is open only for niche skillsets ( Data engineer + analytics). Firms aren't interested in sponsoring rest all skill sets, as they can be filled internally.

Referral works, but the person who is referring you should have enough clout in the organization to present your profile!

To make job referrals easier, I am making a sticky thread where job seekers can post what roles they're looking for and people who have openings in their organisation can post their requirements as well.

This will make it easier to browse through all the available opportunities in a single thread.

Please feel free to post job referral related questions, opportunities, etc under this pinned post.
