Accepted a l5 consultant level offer from Google recently. This was 1 level down from the other position I started interviewing for before it went on hold. I do feel a bit down leveled and a compromise on comp as I didn't have competing offers from other fang.
I see another role open, probably at l6 for lead consultant, same location (austin)Austin. Is it OK to go back to recruiter and ask for this role/position? Google
Looking for a Ad operate role.any leads please

Can you hate the vote and not the person?
In this instance absolutely not.
I guess I’m in the minority here. I lean left but do not subscribe to this cancel culture that a lot of the left subscribes to. My mom voted for Trump and my boss is a staunch Trump supporter, but they are some of the best people I know. A person’s politics should not equate to a person’s character. Politics, like most things in life, is highly subjective and encompasses a wide spectrum of ideas and values.
Just do your job. Or did I miss the part where it’s live in partner. Or work partner?
Dealbreaker
Deal breaker. This election was deeper than politics
As someone who is also fairly progressive but with right and far right family members, it’s always grayer than it seems.
Can you talk to them and find out why? Crazy but statistically almost 1 out of 2 voters voted for Trump.
KPMG - I think people in the USA confuse communism with socialism. Genuine democratic socialism has a lot of positive traits. Do some research on healthcare and education in Dem Soc countries and then decide if the overpriced $hit show we have here is better or not. Societies that thrive tend to adapt and adopt. Nothing wrong with taking elements of other peoples ideas and incorporating them with your own.

Weird. I know someone who called off their wedding four years ago.
Every politician in America would tell you to dump them and never speak to them again. We’re all much easier to control when we’re all just jumping to the conclusion that those who disagree with us are monsters and the “enemy.” It’s getting very 1984 out there and we dont even realize it.
Trump is a pretty crap human being, but not every person who votes for a crappy politician is doing it for malicious reasons.
You obviously care about this person, so why don’t you ask them about it? Why figure out whats driving them to vote like that? You might change their mind, you might understand them a little better and who knows, you might save yourself a whole lot of heartbreak.
Retweet to what most other things people already said! But also: I *cannot* imagine not knowing who my partner voted for until after the election. Whether they just didn’t tell you or if they straight lied about it, either way I’d be pissed. I’ve always been politically engaged, so I may have more extreme feelings than others, but I would also never get into a relationship with someone that didn’t share the same values. anyway, I’m sorry. I’m sure you feel wronged or like your trust was violated
I found out a few months later that my ex bf voted Leave in Brexit. It wasn't a deal breaker - he's English and I'm Canadian, we were both living in Canada - I wasn't familiar with the details and just knew the larger, basic story about Brexit. Still thought leaving was the wrong call and it'd screw things up for a lot of people.
When I pressed my ex on why he'd voted Leave, he'd given some half hearted answer about fisherman... he had no idea really. But tended to lean conservative when he started to feel indignant about... whatever. The kind of guy who's life is fine but not really as good as they'd hoped, but only cause they'd put zero effort into making anything of it despite having plenty of opportunity and privilege (middle class family, uni degree, good health, etc). Man didn't even brush his teeth and got mad he had to pay for a dentist. 😒
Anyway, it didn't end our relationship but I lost some respect for him that day. We broke up later for myriad reasons, but that stuck with me. Could see him voting conservative "for the party" if he were American.
As a POC, it's not "just politics" for me anymore. Racism is systemic. If you vote for an administration/party/candidate that openly oppresses me and my people, I can't suck your dick.
SC3 - the issue you mention has been going on for years. If the democratic admin is so great to minorities, why did the Obama and Biden admin not do anything about it?
When you read “partner” and think, “Since when do PMs have partners??” Lol. But yikes, I’m sorry to hear that.
Haha, 10 year relationship, not married.
This would be a big deal for me. A vote for Trump means that racism, homophobia, transphobia, and mysogeny are not deal-breakers. Trump has a terrible record on human rights, not least of which is locking children in cages and losing their parents. I personally could not stay in that relationship.
I think my issue is having a partner who supports a man that condones rape culture, all lives matter, anti-abortion, anti-women rights, anti-climate change and COVID is a hoax - a vote for him would say too much about what you believe aligns with your values and people who thinks thga is okay, aren’t okay.
I agree that this is a massive deal. It's not a "blood is thicker than water" situation like with a parent, this is someone that you're actively choosing to be with. Have a serious conversation, they may be to see differently or maybe haven't fully considered the implications behind supporting Trump. If not... well if it were me, that would be a deal breaker.
Yeahh this is kind of my take as well, but I'm also not the one in a ten year relationship. I'm not even a Democrat and I'd still consider this a dealbreaker, not because I'd necessarily think they're a bad person, but because I'd be concerned that our values don't align..
That and I also don't want to pass on stupid genes...
Your partner voted for someone who puts babies in cages (babies who are taken care of other children in cages). That is all you need to know.
Yes it’s a terrible policy, but you’re playing semantics here. Any logical person understands this started under Obama, Biden himself apologized for it in one of the debates.
I’m from the South, so I’m having a lot of these conversations right now, and I think it should start with one question:
Do they support the Republican party or do they support Trump?
Depending on the answer, the following conversation is very different.
Wow, imagine people having different opinions!
If you voted for Trump this time around you don’t have any excuse. Don’t be apologetic or hide, just wallow in plain sight and depreciate in your own morally bankrupt self filth. The rest of us will avoid you.
Deal breaker. You really don't want two stupid people in the household.
Damn. Why?
Of what?
I would dump them in a heart beat. No excuses to vote for someone who didn't try to contain COVID-19, stripped away LGBTQ+ protections, emboldens racists + domestic terrorists, and so much more awful stuff just because they don't like government regulation.
