Is this a thing? People write cover letters?

Not sure if people care for it but it’s a common field you have to fill when applying for jobs

You don’t write cover letters.

Had a job I was applying to... couldn’t upload without it. Despise them, so redundant 🤔

I recently started a new sales position, and I know I’m making a lower commission rate than my male counterparts. Could be that I’m new, and they decided to lower it and not because I’m a female. My direct manager is trying to adjust it because we were both told 1% and when my commission started I was at .8%. Any advice would help, I never signed anything that had a commission rate on it. But I’m pretty sure our base as a company has always been 1%.

Hi Everyone,
Any suggestions on networking in the private finance sector?
I recently transitioned from public to private sector finance to be more well-rounded and I’m having a hard time connecting with people in the space. I work for a fund admin in the digital asset space for HF & PE/VC firms and I noticed how much “bro culture” seems to impact the industry. Networking is hard enough working from home but I know how important it is to make those connections.

Morning folks. Has anyone done an assessment of the CRMs out there and the best kinds? I have some information but there seems to be so many out there. Love to hear what folks are using. Or recommendations. Thank you!!

You ever just sit in a team meeting and realize you don’t relate to anyone in your job anymore. The small talk, the corny jokes all seem uninteresting and you just want to get your money and go home.

And don’t say look for another job because I’ve been actively looking for a year now 🥲

In the midwest, talking to a small agency. If I take a FT role and possibly move in a few months, wondering if they’d be open to me staying on remotely. Everything’s been remote for them for a while anyway and will likely continue to be. Any thoughts on how to approach this scenario? Want to do right, but don’t want to be overly precautious either.
