December layoffs anywhere?
I am currently pursuing a position to be a 401k workplace planning consultant with Fidelity Investments. I would like to connect with someone who has gone through that training and early hiring process to make sure I have a solid understanding of the position. This is specifically for the Raleigh/Durham NC area if possible.

Hi, any folks has experience with the first round of interview at PwC . The candidate needs to answer to a list of questions prompted by a portal HireVue by recording oneself to the camera. I’m apply for a UX designer position, any tips on how I should be prepared for this round of interview? Thank you all.
Which grade is higher 601 or 602 or 603 ?
Im not searching for a new job but an acquaintance reached out about a similar role at a similar energy company.Turns out 2 ppl threw my name in the hat. I looked into it and the position was posted 2 weeks ago.Their director wants to meet.I bet pay is one of the first things to be discussed so that no one’s time is wasted.Am I crazy for not wanting to entertain it for less than 20-25% base pay increase?Is it selfish to ask for more? I’m sure most salary conversations end in negotiation anyways?

Laid off at 58 (earlier in the year) and decided to retire.
Curious as to when you were planning to retire? I’m definitely hoping to be retired well before I’m 65.

I know a dude who turned 81, and just was sort of forced to give an early notice (he is in an executive role - so, 6 months early notice). Not sure whether he’ll retire.
Could have, but that oversight has been fixed. Unburdened by what has been.
I’m sorry you got laid off. Are you ok?
It's ok to take some time off and even come back once you're refreshed. My dad did that!
Hoping you are financially set. Wish you the best!
54 laid off, semi-retired.
59… same, and job hunting. Can’t afford to retire yet.
I got laid. Does that count towards retirement? Asking for a friend.
I’m never going to retire then… 😔
46 and planning to retire at 55.
Will slow down my career at 50.
Enjoy your retirement.
Do you want to retire ?
I knew someone who died in the office a year or so away from retirement
Life is short, take time to enjoy it.
What is retirement age?
When you can afford to live off your pension aka never aka die
You could look at a side gig doing some part-time consulting.
Pick up a contract gig and transition into retirement.
