I have a close friend who graduated with a 2.5 GPA from a no name brand school.. he’s looking for entry level Business Analyst, Financial Analyst, PM or business related rotation programs and having a real hard time. He had a major life event during college that impacted his GPA. I don’t believe GPA correlates much with being a great employee especially since most of the learning is on the job.

Is he kind of screwed because of his GPA? 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

Any advice or success stories would be appreciated!

Hi fishes, I need some guidance.

I am currently into the SAP Security domain and I absolutely do not have any interest in it. I am planning to shift to development and have started on some courses on my own.

My question is, is there any future prospects in SAP UI5 and Fiori? Since my background is in SAP, I assume it will make a domain switch easier.

Or should I move into the JS-React path since there seems to be a lot of demand? But my worry is about my lack of actual work experience

4th year V20 corp associate looking to switch into litigation and don’t mind starting over as first/second year at a V50. I know it’s an unusual switch and would appreciate any thoughts/advice/predictions re success of switching. For context I went to a decent law school and got decent grades (great 1L mediocre 2/3L).

Will getting a low tier rating also affect your career when you are switching companies?

How would you handle not getting a lunch break when you are a salaried employee treating patients for 40 hours a week? I don’t get documentation time either, but all notes are to be completed the same day. Some of us have reached out to HR and we’re told to discuss it with the regional director, but the regional director says we’d have to come in early or leave late to block out a lunch break. My commute is an hour each way, so I’d prefer not to make my day any longer. Advice?

Bad part of being laid off: many many interviews (and of course lack of job). Silver lining: no more virtual company happy hours! I do not miss the pressure to participate.

QA lead -10yrs exp... Longing for a change.. Plz DM me so that I can share resume

Hey team! So I was laid off from my SDR position about a week ago. A couple months back, I had an offer for a BDR position that I ended up turning down but I really liked and connected with the manager. Is it worth it to reach out? I applied to other positions in the same company. What about reaching out to previous co workers at a different company? Not sure how to navigate this… please help. Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.

Any paralegals used Upwork or similar sites for side work/freelance work? Just wondering if it's worth the time investment. All feedback is appreciated!

We were not trying to conceive. And I was drinking alcohol like twice a week.

Help me understand if my baby will be fine or not.

Misled on Maternity Leave Policy. I found out I only get 4 weeks pay for maternity leave (STD +“sick days”). I will take 12 weeks but wont get paid for 8 weeks. I work for a US, west coast based company in the tech/VC industry. Their website claims to offer “paid parental leave and other progressive benefits for parents”. I didn’t find out until after I was hired their pay was only 8 weeks but since I have been at the company less than 12 months, I don’t qualify for their policy. Is this unfair?

Spectra vs Mandela pump in style? I work from home and will continue to do so. Insurance covers both full price!

I work at a consulting firm advising clients on operating models, business design and change management based in London. I would like to move to Australia or the US from September 2023.

Anyone here have experience pivoting to self-employment? I’m specifically eyeballing commercial photography post-covid.

I randomly applied for a job opening with a smaller tech company. Within five days, I got an offer that pays 62% more than my current salary! A part of me is exhilarated, but a part of me feels like I tricked them all. I didn’t lie during the interview, but I definitely played up some of my accomplishments. I also spent extensive hours prepping for the interviews and planned stories that made simple projects seem very elaborate and complex.
How common is this feeling after a job offer?

I’m looking to pivot from law to Human Resources. I have a JD but never was in a firm that did much employment law. Since I don’t have much hands on HR experience, I’d really appreciate any advice or specific jobs to look out for. Thanks!

I need a change so badly I’m on the verge of tears almost every day. I’ve invested so much preparing for this career. I know I have so much talent that’s not being utilized. I feel stifled and stuck. I don’t need the health insurance but I’m terrified of giving up financial security. Any suggestions in NH for a sp ed with a MS in ed tech integration and a CAGS in Ed leadership. I am driven by identifying systems and creative problem solving and also have a background in art & design.

Hi guys and gals.
What do you put to get noticed or an interview when they ask you to leave a message to the hiring. Aka
"Let the company know about your interest working there"

Thanks all

I’m in the process of interviewing for an HR consulting role that seems to be more of an outsourcing role..

Is this already a red flag or could it potentially be an opportunity for growth?
What clarifying questions should I ask?

(I’m a new consultant, trying to break into the field)

So I say this with complete humility and an understanding that this is a fortunate-ish situation to be in. I’m in a position where I am tied to nothing, I have no children, spouse, or house. My job, which I’ve loved until some recent significant leadership changes, is sucking the life out of me and I think it may be time for a change. Because I am able to “pick up and go” I’m open to opportunities and locations. I’ve never worked with a recruiter but was hoping I could get some recommendations!

I’m seriously contemplating taking a software development boot camp. For those who hire new software developers, does it make you stand out if you get your certificate from a university instead of a coding academy (like coding dojo or something)? I noticed the universities are a bit more expensive but is it worth the price to have a university on your resume or does it not really matter?

New to Fishbowl, currently working on a career pivot! I graduated in May with my MBA and have experience as a Director of Operations as well as recruiting and HR experience. I am looking to move more into Change/Project Management or Director of People Operations roles.

Feeing a little defeated over here. Thank you!

Hi Everyone, Started my career in government 5 years ago working in an operational role, then focussed on HR for 3 years working my way up to a middle manager role in HR as a business partner and completed my Level 7 CIPD.
