I am looking for a nondegree seeking online MSW program that offers clinical courses to help my background with going for my LICSW. My MSW was not clinical so I need about 100 hours of coursework before I can apply for my LICSW in a few years after I complete supervision. Does anyone know of an addordable option? Thank you!

Hi Fishes please help

HR has provided 2 options -

13.5 fixed + 2 jb (1 in the first month & 1 after 1 year)

14 fixed + 1 jb

Is there any catch, what should I prefer?

DXC or Capgemini or Fidelity Investments. Fidelity has offered highest amongst 3. I am having 11 YOE.

Closing on my first home. Advice for anyone with student loans in administrative forbearance per the Cares act: once your offer is accepted have you student loan servicer put your account back in repayment status.

Accounts in forbearance, even administrative forbearance, are calculated at a higher monthly payment by the underwriter.

My fictitious debt to income ratio was too high for them to approve me, and it took seven days for my loan to be officially back in repayment. So just a heads up.

Those of you who have left a firm, do you still keep in touch with any of your former supervisors, via email, happy hour, or otherwise? How long did you wait to re establish contact? I’m in a small market and worry about perception at my current firm. TIA

What did you think was cool when you were young, but isn't cool now?

When and how do you push back on people senior to you? Fifth year dealing with supersenior associate (11th year) who completely lacks good judgment & common sense. One of those super smart but impractical types. As just one example, he recently called me to tell me to call someone who’s on vacation and ask them to send a calendar invite. I offered to send myself but apparently that wouldn’t work (presumably because it would be efficient & make sense.) At what point (and how) do I Just Say No?

I regret not applying to Harvard. I never thought I’d get into a top school and then got into wharton with a 100k fellowship - which changed my entire perspective. It sucks thinking “what if…”. I just didn’t have the confidence and thought wharton was a reach so why bother with H/S 🙃 hope this inspires someone to just shoot their shot - you never know

What are some alternative more independent options that one can use a school counseling MA degree towards? I am thinking consulting… or research as I am think about perusing my PhD… but in the meantime, let me know your ideas? Thanx

Hi
How is Broadridge Hyderabad in terms of career growth, work life balance and onsite opportunities.

Guys I got three offers. Not to show off. But I feel extremely guilty for the HR for dropping those two offers. Do you also guys feel the same or is it because I'm sensitive.

But there is one pwc HR I attended two rounds. But she doesn't even attend my call now or reply my email. I mean it hardly takes 30 secs to send out an rejection mail or pick up the phone the say I'm not shortlisted. Why should they ignor. I'm not gonna scold her or beat her for that don't they have some basic integrity

Anyone in the market for bags? Looking to sell a Celine Luggage, Celine Belt Bag, Givenchy Antigona and an LV Neverfull. All great for work!

What are some things you can do when you feel like you aren’t fitting in with your team?

Thanks to the robots, there’s just not a lot left to do.

So why do we still have to spend all our waking time playing office?

Are business resource groups at JPM good to join? Curious what “subscribing” to one entails

Had on-site a month ago and recruiter has promised an update several times and not followed through. Anything I can do other than following up once a week? I think I’m the backup candidate but would be helpful to get more clarity

Democrat outrage baiting thing is getting really tired and old. I don’t think I will ever vote D again.

We’re having an Indian wedding on a Sunday with ceremony in the morning, followed by lunch, and then cocktail hour + reception.

Given that the wedding starts early, we will have guests (~30) flying in the day before. What is the expectation in terms of arranging dinner for them? We’re trying to avoid having an additional event Saturday night - any idea on if these guests would need to have food arranged for them by us and what that could look like on a cost effective budget.

I am sick and tired of mental health professionals getting overworked and underpaid. No other profession I am sure is this horrible!!!

Any other Social Workers here working at a major Hospital (Mayo, John Hopkins, Cleveland Clinic, etc)?

Any MSWs successfully broken into the employee wellness/ DEI space at a tech company. Any advice?

Anyone here ever struggled working at a private practice during your first year as a licensed counselor? I work well with the clients but I find it difficult to accept the pay I receive for the amount of work I do and is required. Lately, I realize I haven’t been putting in much effort towards paperwork because of the pay I receive.

Is anyone in any outreach coordinator positions? What is the pay like? I’m seeing $40,000 mark?

How many therapists (and social workers too!) see a therapist themselves? Do you find it helpful?
I think there's this myth that therapists have all their own sh*t figured out, and for me at least I know that's far from true (hopefully it isn't just me). On the contrary, I think we should be leading by example!

Hey there! really need a change in pace from being in higher levels of care, and am wanting to go part-time with my company and private practice, but I want to buy a house in the next year and am worried about finances. Can anyone speak to the hardships or successes or a counseling of practice and/or buying a home shortly after starting one? I feel trapped in my current job because I’m worried the timing isn’t right.

What are some good opportunities for growth as a social worker? I've been in the same role for close to ten years, and while I love it, I know I can branch out a bit and probably even increase my salary. What have you all done?

How many of you have left or are planning to leave therapy, and what did you transition into?

Did you ever have any issues with your family questioning what you do and saying it wasn't a "real job" ? They think being a social worker is fluffy and I should have just become an "actual doctor or psychiatrist"

I am looking for a referral for a remote case management position for Heath First, Humana or Evalance. I have 15 years of experience and I have my LMSW in NY and SC🙏🥰

Might be shifting to a outpatient oncology position from a medical social worker in a hospital setting, any pros/cons major differences?

Recently received my CSW license and have started working as a therapist at an outpatient clinic. Is a starting salary of $64,500 fair? I am supposed to aim for 28 billing hours (get paid if clients show or not) a week with 12 hours of admin time for other tasks. Thanks for any input.

Do you think all these violent and hate filled attacks are because people aren't getting the emotional/mental support they need, whether it's therapy at any age or help they needed but didn't get from a social worker as a child? My coworker is sure this is the case, but I honestly think there's actually something deeper wrong either with how these people are being raised as children, or how the warning signs these people give off are ignored or swept under the rug to save face.

Am I the only social worker/therapist who doesn’t work well with being assigned to do last minute paperwork? I’m a very organized person, both personally and professionally and this has been challenging for me in a professional setting. How would you present this to your supervisor who continues to not understand? Any feedback is appreciated 😊

Hi everyone!

Best advice for a new therapist? Or something you wish you learned at the beginning of your career?

So embarrassed. I literally had one job to do today which was to schedule a client and give and take her paperwork when she came in. Totally called her by the wrong name today AND gave her the wrong paperwork. She was really nice about it but I feel like my boss was disappointed and I'm disappointed in myself. I don't want her to think I won't be able to keep clients straight when I start doing supervised sessions.
