I have a friend interested in a position at my firm. Should I reach out to the hiring manager? What should I tell/ask them that would be helpful?

One of my friends just wrote a lovely note to the HM saying nice things about my character and work experience and asking them to speak to me and come to their own conclusion.

Thanks! I think I’ll do this as well.

Depends, do you like your firm? Would you wish it upon your friends? Haha.

That’s fair! I was being funny. Or trying to be anyway. I would do the same even though I want out of mine haha

Send the resume with a blurb about why they would be a good fit. Have the friend write it, then you review and send.

Almost midnight here and I'm cleaning my medicine cabinet so I can reboot having a regular skin-care routine. I'm listening to one of my favorite musicals, "Ragtime", specifically the song "He Wanted to Say". Living 9 time zones away from home out of the US and watching the BLM movement there, unable to do anything concrete about it from here - this song I've listened to countless times, today about brought me to tears.

I really don’t mean this to virtue signal - just wanted to share a moment.

Anyone switch companies and either regret it or are glad they did?

I want to know if it's true or not.

Also please let me know what is the notice period in HashedIn.

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
