Happy Halloween, my fellow Tech Pros! I love this Holiday, anyone come up with a creative costume to wear at work?

During my job search, I am getting a lot of recruiters asking for me to answer right to represent emails. These particular recruiters follow a same pattern and seem unprofessional. Shall I be aware and not sign these right to represents? Are they a scam? Or is it a cultural thing… can someone advise me, I’m based in the USA

Got ibm offer but it's a different location from my city and they said its banking project so have to report to office soon. Any options to get role / project in my city itself without losing this offer ?

As holidays come around, the family has upped their questions about when we are having kids and why we haven’t yet.

Need to leave but no idea what I want to do

One of my senior managers is a boomerang and told me she was laid off when she was 7 months pregnant about 10 years ago. I think she was a senior or manager. She was in a specific group and everybody was laid off. It wasn’t performance based.

For people who live alone, how are you staying motivated? I’ve been feeling more depressed lately and really need some advice to get through this whole wfh thing

I’m not a sports guy, so I don’t care that sports are back.
If you do watch sports, how is it? Does it bring back any sense of normalcy?

Recommendations between 4K vs. 1440p for a 27” or 32” monitor? Not concerned about gaming so either should be fine at 60hz. Is there a discernible difference at the 27” size if I’m sitting 2-3ft away?

My SO plans to have dinner with 3 friends at an outdoor restaurant. This upsets me, since I haven’t been in a restaurant or met anyone else without a mask since March, and I thought we weren’t going to dine with people we didn’t live with. Am I being unreasonable?

Has anyone here tested positive for covid-19? What was your experience, symptoms, etc.? And if you are willing to share, what’s your age, gender, and do you have any pre-existing health conditions? I’ve seen tons of data, but just want to hear about different experiences now too from people that have had it.

I’m totally empathetic to people that miss offices and traveling. I understand your reasons why, I truly do.

For me personally, after non-stop weekly travel for 4 straight years, not traveling has made me realize how much I enjoy being home. Spending time with family, sleeping in your own bed, consistent exercise schedule, etc.

I for one hope consulting becomes more of a hybrid travel model (i.e. travel 1-2x per month or as needed). Else it won’t be for me.

Anyways, just some thoughts.
