Hi People,

YOE 5.5,
Skills - Java 8, springboot, hibernate, microservices
Got one offer from a startup company 24 LPA fixed (Remote opp. Which is giving me "WLB" anxiety already being a startup)
Publicis sapient 22 LPA
IRIS 20 LPA

Is it ok to ask for a counter offer in these 2 companies ?

Which one should be a best fit in terms of growth, WLB ?

Can anyone shed some light on the comp for an SC at FTI in the corporate finance / restructuring group? Recruiter reached out, but I'm at 125 base seems unclear if they can match

TLDR: Getting over your ex of 2.5 years ghosting you after they said they wanted to reconnect.

I was dating someone for about 2.5 years and then we broke up because of COVID and the long distance was making it too difficult to continue. The break up must’ve been like a 4-5 minute FaceTime because I was very distraught. After we broke up, she started seeing someone else but I was heartbroken and it’s taken me over a year to really get over everything and process those feelings. (Cont.)

My employer is going on a hiring blitz and is offering new hires of the same position a higher salary than I currently have, is this normal or should I demand a raise?

I’m graduating in a year. Will be working as a consultant in Chicago. Want to begin real estate investing. Thinking of house hacking. what’s the best way to start REI after graduating?

Not liking the fact it gets dark by 4PM

Feeling lost in my career (10 yoe, 9 in consulting). Anyone feel this before and how did you get through it (career coach, books, etc)?

If you receive an RFE on the I485 while it has been pending for 180 days, does your new company attorney respond to the RFE? Assuming you switched companies after it has been pending for 180 days. Anyone experienced anything similar?

When your old 100+ person agency has a BLM message on their website but only employed one black person while you worked there.

What is the highest paying type of insurance defense?

Does anyone have experience with NYC’s cottage laws as they pertain to homemade food businesses (i.e., baked goods)? I’m looking hear your experience with it, and whether it’s overly restrictive to the point that it wasn’t worth the effort for a side hustle.

Is the Austin side of Chicago really that unsafe ?

Hi Fishes,

Recently, my appraisal cycle got completed. So whenever a recruiter asks about CTC, will I need to add the Gratuity and Insurance and then tell the Total number.

In my company Total CTC = CTC + Gratuity + Insurance.

Please let me know in comments !

Hi folks, I have an offer from Persistent for Java developer and they're offering me 7.5 LPA for Senior Software Engineer role.. Is this the right scale in Persistent ?
My experience is 3 years

Has anyone actually found love at work? My best friend started at a new company 6 months ago and she just took an offer somewhere else because she and her senior manager fell for each other. After 6 months she knew it was worth leaving her job for! I've been working at the same place for three years and I went on one date with a guy who didn't even work with me he just worked in the building. What am I doing wrong.

Anyone in to younger guys?

Have you ever traded flowers? I only trade 1 kind- your tulips for mine... You down? ;)

Anyone in SF/ San Jose? f25

Is this an active bowl..Or have the 30s fishes turned 40s already?

Real talk ... if someone is over 35 and hasn’t been married before, do you automatically assume there is something wrong with them?

Who here is willing to turn on networking for the next 2 hours?? People want to see their options in this bowl! You can then quietly go back into the shadows.

Weezer fans, give me a 👍

Any F in nyc wanna hang out this weekend? 30 M here.

Anybody else struggling with the fact that nearly all their friends are coupled up?
Not in an envious way. Just... Damn, this sh*t can leave you very alone.

Any houston folks here?

Where do professionals 30+ meet people these days besides dating apps?!

Bored on a Sunday night, any female fish feel like chatting

Welcome to the 30s and 40s singles bowl! Here’s to hoping the posts in this bowl are a bit more mature. Relying on the honor system here, try not to lie about your age.

Rewatching Brokeback Mountain, which came out 15 years ago (hard to believe that). Anyway, it's still an outstanding, devastating film (and love story) that I think if had been released 10 years later would have easily won best picture and best actor for Heath Ledger.

41F, just found/joined this bowl and the bowl picture is cracking me up 🤣🤣🤣

Anyone here 40s never married, no kids?

Need advice. Very Shy guy and girl, met a while back for a side hustle both like each other a LOT, relationship has progressed in other areas but not in the physical realm, primarily because neither officially asked the other out. Guy is a very rough around edges, asked for a date by saying ‘anytime you need breakfast or lunch, let me know’. I am an independent gal and didn’t like the way it came across. I really want to take this forward but am out of ideas on how to make a date happen.

Having serious Monday blues! Who wants to talk and help? 35M in Chicago
