I get way too much of a thrill out of finding the perfect emoji to react with on Slack. Am I this boring of a person that that’s what I find fun?

IBM started to drop the mail for join Slack etc. and the mail for laptop request for new hire .

What if I don't join on the last day or deny to join on last day ? Because still need to decide between two offers .

What’s the dress code for zoom interviews? So far, I’ve definitely been dressed more formally than my interviewers but could be because they were tech companies

Mac or HP or Dell: I prefer Mac notebooks. However it seems there might be limitations with the use of Skype or other applications based on materials I have seen. What do you all recommend is the best laptop for working at Deloitte?

Hi Dance Teachers! What have been your favorite “get to know you activities” over zoom on the first few days of school?

If [said company] asks to put you "on hold" for the month of December...but you found a better offer, do you:
-have to follow through with said gig
-communicate this with them if they haven't followed up yet (but added you to new slack channels)

(asking because I no longer wish to work with them) Thanks for the advice.

Zoom meetings have been fantastic. I can highly recommend my home group SOS. 7:30 daily. Great way to get grounded as you start your day.

Today shit blew up so much on my two gigs all I could hear for hours was the constant barrage of pinging noises from outlook, gmail, slack and teams. Like some kind of hellish tech sounding symphony. I will probably go to sleep tonight with pings, clicks, chimes and whooshes echoing in my head into the void. Seriously y’all how do we not lose our fucking minds?

Researching the job mkt & pay for nursing: It is so easy to set up a first interview esp. as a nurse. Set up a zoom meeting, in the zoom meeting ask abt job details and ask for the salary range. They will give it to you, and in my case it was the same range for both of the companies. (Hospice oncall nurse here👋). Then you fit in somewhere on that continuum based on education & experience—that where the negotiation comes in—they will make a case to place you as low as possible on the scale.

How are you developing client relationships when in-person networking is out?

I'm used to hanging out with my clients frequently, grabbing coffee, stopping by the office, etc. Zoom/Hangouts meetings just feel really awkward and it's difficult switching from business development which was 90% IRL to nearly all online... Especially when I run a 1-person shop.

How about y'all?

Hi music teachers! How are you surviving? I’ve been teaching band and choir for a long time, but distance learning and Zoom has me stumped. I’m lucky to have a job, I realize. What are some things you’re doing in your virtual classrooms that your music students enjoy?

Generally curious how many companies offer phone reimbursement? My last gig did not but the current one does. Legally it seems, all employers are required to do so if we use our phone in literally any capacity (video call, slack, teams, emails etc). How prevalent is the issue of not reimbursing phone dues?

I’m interviewing for BCG and had a principal reach out to me for a zoom chat. Is this normal for principals to reach out or is this a positive sign?

Almost 4 weeks in and my status is still wrong. It was correct for the first ~1 day and then bumped down a level. Shouldn’t be hard as all my nights last year were SPG. This is ridiculous.

Looking to purchase a birth year watch (1987) am eyeing a Rolex Datejust ref: 16234 (fluted white gold bezel, Julianne bracelet)

Any leads on reputable vintage Rolex dealers in nyc?

My supervisor is looking for an interesting idea for future professional days. Any suggestions based on personal experience? I’m sick of articulation because they can’t find anything relevant for PE

Hi all,
I graduated during Covid with a double major in business administration and business management with a minor in marketing and magically ended up in sales because I needed a job. I’m about to take a data analytics course to make an attempt to break into that field. I’m currently looking for a mentor to help guide me during this time. Also, if anyone is willing to look over my resume and give me tips on how to make it more presentable for recruiters in DA that would be very helpful. Thanks

I Recently told company A verbally I will accept their offer if they match a job offer I have from Company B and they did. When I informed Company B that I will not be accepting their offer they gave me a sweet counteroffer that i’m seriously considering, What should I say to Company A?

Wow, so no more free lunches…what a joke

Thoughts on AdEx ?

I’m hoping this bowl can commiserate with my disappointment that ESPN is airing collegiate football instead of today’s quali...

How does below compare with regional comp for big4? Considering the salary progression and 1/2-bed flats in London being ~£400-500k I can’t see how it’s feasible to ever own a place until SM grades by which point most will be in early/mid-30s...

How is the cigna company guys in terms of work life balance?

Interviewing for an SE position and have my final demo in a few weeks. Any trailhead modules I should check out to get more prepared/confident? Thank you in advance!

What kind of questions does a role alignment interview for a Finance+Ops role at tech company entail ? Is it just a fancy name for evaluating prior experience and the behavioral stuff ? Or is there some framework being tested?

How is Will Smith in both Suicide Squad (DC Comics) and Avengers (Marvel)? Were there zero other candidates for the role? Posting this as it will oddly keep me up tonight. Confessing I'm confused.

A jr team working on social part of a campaign, which I oversaw as well, just claimed credits on their social channels for my spots, which they didn’t concept, write, or produce... 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

What’s the craziest thing you’ve done at a work party?

Do you like movies about gladiators?

Got a personal email from HR asking to evaluate our executive team’s performance. Thinking this is a no win situation.

I spend every free second i have at work searching for jobs or scrolling through fishbowl.

I don’t get paid to write advertising. I get paid to sit through meetings like these. Kill me.

Pretty tickled when creatives beta test their LinkedIn jokes on here.

Leo has the best corporate Christmas party in Chicago.....there I said it

I want to leave but I’m stuck in a lease signed in January. Everyone I know is moving home to work remotely and save money. I’ve never felt more stuck.

Anyone else feel being a creative director is just not all it was cracked up to be?

My anxiety makes me good at my job. My incessant checking, and double checking, and analyzing has earned me praise, trust, and early promotions. Sometimes I wonder, if I were to take medication to give myself some relief, and to stop the panic attacks, would I be less productive? And then I wonder, do I value my own health so little? But I’m so validated by my performance...sad isn’t it? Hope I’m not alone.

I think Alexa is my best friend.

My AD isn’t good at conceptualization and isn’t helping me come up with ideas. (Maybe bc they went from GD to AD). How do I convince them their job involves more than graphic design and mock ups?

got excited about dental work today because it meant I got to spend an hour away from work during the day. is that super depressing?

Unpopular opinion: I support my lgbtqia+ brothers and sisters and Pride month, but nobody’s changing their company logo for black history month. Just happened to be job searching & saw all the 🌈logos

Got way too drunk at a work event last night. Please tell me horror stories to make me feel better 🙇🏽

I absolutely HATE third party recruiters. They continuously waste my time, always slice my rate in half, and have never have solidified a project for me — PLEASE GO AWAY!

ahhhh.. I feel better now 💆🏻‍♂️

Despite all the cool super bowl spots that have aired, and will air, Nike/wK is going drop a tribute spot for the mamba. And it will be Bigger than Kap’s Spot.

Breakfast food is so much better and energizing at lunch (11:30 - 12:30) than it is early in the morning.
