Love the WLB. Culture is standard corporate.

Feel free to DM me and ask all the questions!
My hours are flexible- I usually don’t have meetings Mondays or fridays. Usually start meetings at 11am and end around 4pm (most of my coworkers are PT I am CT). Many people work remotely from vacation spots- one coworker worked from hawaii for a month. Vacation time is eh- it’s the only thing that could really be better. It’s 10 days in addition to a few bank holidays. Nice thing though is 10 wellness days that can be used as vacation depending on your manager

WLB is amazing. I’ve actually had to work the trailing week at 45 and it feels like the last time I worked so hard was over a year ago

We are mostly in a hiring freeze but to your point no fking clue why we keep reqs open just to put candidates in purgatory.

Culture is pretty old, people tend to go there to basically retire. Which also speaks to wlb, it is extremely chill.

Blind is a better app to look at tech focused stuff

… culture is a bit more formal though I think

Formal than???

Definitely more informal than big 4. Probably more formal than google.

Culture is one of the best. So is WLB

I started a new job, and moved to a new city about 7 months ago. Honestly, I’m not happy. I like my company’s culture, but not what we do. I tried to stay a float , but just can’t. I’m in a place of leadership, and they have me in a lot of projects I have no interest in. Current salary is 75k and I have a contract offer(aligned with my passion) for $50hourly(roughly 100k). I’m prepared to sublet and move back home, but I’ll lose benefits. What would you do in my position?

I would like some advice here. I currently work as an HRBP for a large company and have been with this company for over 2 years. The current company culture is not great, and I’ve been looking for outside opportunities.
I was offered a role at a smaller company that just announced it is being acquired by a large company, however they agreed that they will be operating independently.
Would it be incredibly stupid to start a new HR job at a company currently going through an acquisition?

We have done the math and I know we can afford much more but he doesn’t want to buy more than a 400K home. I’m almost positive we can afford 500K and be more than ok. But then he starts to talk about how much kids cost and how we will be house poor and we won’t be able to afford kids. 🤔 Am I insane??
