How much of your PTO do you use? My company allows you to buy or sell one week but you have to select this during open enrollment. Between Spring break, summer vacation, winter holidays, and family events, I usually use my three weeks, but am thinking of buying an additional week for next year. Is there any reason to not take off another week?

Hello, I have an interview this week with Riot Games for an L&D specialist role. Anyone have any tips or work at Riot Games?

Please suggest any good sources to prepare for data engineer interviews in GCP, Python, SQL, Pyspark. I have worked only in a few tools in GCP and done basic coding in pyspark and above average in SQL, but need to be prepared to handle all questions to grab some offer. YouTube has lot of resources but confused on which one to start with. I have an interview this Tuesday in another 2 days.

Does anyone have any beta test email templates? I'm looking to invite some users to my app and looking for some guidance.

Thanks

Destiny 2 anyone?

Anybody playing no mans sky? I’ve started playing since the origins update and I can’t stop.

I have been talking to a recruiter for a little over a month about a position. I let her know out the gate that I really wasn’t looking to change jobs, but she just kept wanting to continuing the conversation. I didn’t have 2 interviews with the hiring coming and they know that I am not really looking to make a switch. They are now working on an offer letter and I know they’re going to offer me more money. I’m having my annual review this week. Any advice on how to handle a) job offer b) review?

Is there a polite/gentle way to talk to your boyfriend about the fact that he has gained a lot of weight in the past year and needs more physical activity in his life?

I am not a very shallow person — he was already on the heavier side when we met. But when I look at photos from just a year ago, it’s clear he’s put on a lot of weight. I am worried about his health. I don’t want to overstep or make him feel insecure. Just wondering if anyone else has ever been here.

Oil price falls below zero (for like a second), some mouthbreather on Twitter: “does this mean we get paid to fill up at the gas station?” 🤦‍♀️

The guy who shot Parkland got life in prison… deserved, in my opinion. Do you think this is sufficient justice?

Are hiring trends at Google, specifically at GCP, similar to other tech companies? Should I expect slowdown near the holidays and things pick up again early next year? For context, I'm considering a non-tech role such as BD, Partnership management, S&O etc.

I am currently working in advertising with experience on fintech & CPG. I would like to work in tech marketing, specifically Google’s APMM program.
I’ve been studying some PM/PMM books/podcasts/videos, attending Google events, and want to keep learning more to try to prepare myself as much as I can.
What resources helped you get into product marketing/Google?
Has anyone here moved from advertising to tech?
Would love to hear from a marketer about their experience getting into Google.
Thank you

In my organization, most with my role are commission based. I make a set salary due to the firm I work for as an account manager/ coordinator for clients… I coordinate their enrollments, working with each groups HR department as to benefits and payroll purposes, and schedule our benefit counselors accordingly.

Is there anyone from Canada here? I’m looking for some information on working out of the country, but selling insurance.

Has anyone successfully moved out of claims into underwriting? I have been doing worker’s compensation claims for about 9 years now as an adjuster. I would really like to get into underwriting but have not had any success so far. What are some other roles I can transition to?

I work as a worker’s compensation adjuster and I cannot seem to get the hand of loss of time. Been in the same role for a year. Any piece of advise? I have made several improvements but it feels like I’m dragging it out. Last question is how do you manage claims that you have not handle for months and you’re too scared to do anything.

What’s the deal with these start-ups not hiring people with actual insurance experience?

I’ve been working for my State Farm agency as a team member for 2 years. I am licensed in property and casualty as well as life and health, but only make $13 an hour. I technically can make bonuses but I’m not supposed to dig into a sale and I have to send it to a sales rep (I am service and retention mostly). My boss also has me running a retired agents office until a new one is chosen (its an hour away with no pay increase or mileage pay). Also, no benefits! Should I start job searching?
