I have to put my fear aside and give OE a try, otherwise I’ll be stuck in this cycle for the rest of my life. I think doing this for a year will make a significant difference in my life. Thoughts from others?

For those of you working from home, do you know whether your coworkers will be throwing a baby shower for you? I feel like without being visibly pregnant to most people (since we are not in the office), I feel like I’m going to miss out on having one which is kind of a bummer since I’ve always gotten gifts for others.

I am trying to practice a version of intuitive/mindful eating - honoring my body’s hunger cues and not sticking to a timeline or plan as to what and when to eat. But tbh years of “dieting” has screwed over my ability to recognize hunger cues. I suddenly realize my hunger after not eating for 10+ hours and then I’m ravenous and would just eat anything. Anyone dealt with this have any recommendations? TIA

Hi fishes,
Want some feedback for Employees Assistant Program (EAP) by Capgemini which provides facilities to connect with Therapist.
Actually I am going through some tough times(going through a divorce), want to connect to EAP to discuss my mental health issues.
I had connected once and they say that the conversations are strictly confidential.
Just wanted to know do they really keeps stuff confidential or can they inform my Manager regarding the personal conversations.

Getting over heartbreak and having a full time job is torture lol. My boyfriend and I just broke up after almost a year of being together. It was such a beautiful relationship but ultimately he just didn’t love me. I love him so much. My mind knows that I deserve reciprocal love and I’m worthy, but I feel physically ill. My body hurts, my stomach is in knots, my head hurts. How is it that I have to mend a broken heart but also meet my billable hours lmao

Any idea if someone had take covesheild vaccine in India . Can they take boaster Moderna shot here

Originally from Italy, I've been out to anyone at my former jobs in Europe without ever worrying about the reactions of my coworkers. Now I'm Asia and just started a new job, but one of my colleagues (also an expat) made a very weird statement about gay people having more chances of developing cancers (?!?!?), so I feel a bit skeptical about talking about my private life... The problem is that anybody else seems to be so welcoming and open-minded, except for this one guy. Any advices?

I am struggling to spend the time to study for the PHR. I have everything I need, but I feel exhausted from the work week every weekend. I’m looking to take it in August.. help? What do I do?

Think I’m going to get the J&J vaccine. Has anyone had anything weird happen to them since doing this one or heard of anything weird? I have had COVID already and have antibodies but feel like the walls are closing in on me here.

Did you/would you get booster during pregnancy?

Hi, anyone ever try using a ovulation test as a positive result for pregnancy test? I had an LH surge couple of weeks back and for the past few days my breasts are tender and I am having some taste aversions like yesterday yoghurt tasted like mud. Since my cycle is irregular I took another ovulation test today morning and it came back positive. This is my first time going through this and I am confused as to what is going on. Can I take a pregnancy test middle of the day?

Hi fishes,
I'm 22 and planning to take a life insurance. I'm comparing all policies and max life seems attractive as it has good claim settlement ratio and less premiums. But there is no office near our area. My worry is that if there is a need to claim in future, it can be done all online by my nominee? Is it recommended to take policy online in any platform(like policybazaar)?
Other options I'm considering are SBI life, HDFC life which offices are available in my locality.
Please guide

Hi fishes,
What Package can i ask to L&T for Data Engineer with 3 years experience. Having 12.5 offer in hand.

Your response is highly appreciated.

3/23 Thread (General):

Do you have a mentor? I’m in the autumn of my career and I’ve had a  modicum of success in production and it’s time to give back.

Does anyone know of a coworking spaces that focus on creatives and/or marketing companies? All the ones I know of like technexus, wework and 1871 in Chicago are tech company focused.

Is it wrong that I’m just not into PE/VC? It seems to be the most desirable exit for most people that I work with. The work seems like it’s not a good fit for me but it feels crazy to pass up trying to get that amount of money when there really isn’t a realistic alternative to that amount of wealth (and I do want that amount of wealth).

What skills must one build upon to pivot from Investment team at a PortCo of a mega fund (>$300 Bn), to investment team at a PE?

Would genuinely appreciate some advise as I start this new role at the PortCo from next month. TIA 🙏

Has anyone at a mega fund like KKR or Apollo experienced coinvesting and actually being able to put money into a deal?

Tomorrow I have an interview with the partner of a fundraising and M&A boutique for tech startups, who’s also an active VC. Any tips? Although I’m currently at a B4, I have some corp dev experience at a tech unicorn. Thanks.

Anyone working at Foresite Capital? Would be keen to learn about the company a bit more!

Do you still write thank you emails after interviews? A lot of the roles I interview for these days are coordinated by recruiters so I don’t see the interviewers emails

Dubai 🐠 what are your favourite things to do in the region?

Is the pace and WLB a lot different between T1 and T2 firms in the middle east?

Anyone OE who is a people leader in both? I currently manage 1 person and interviewing for J2 but would have a team of 4ish analysts. Any advice?

How did the interview process go when they asked "why do you want to leave your current position"?

Anyone willing to explain the basic steps of getting a J2 as a consultant or contractor? Do I need an LLC first? Do I do paperwork then find clients or wait till I have clients first?

Has anyone taken STD/parental leave at both Js?

Currently an HR Generalist looking for a second remote job. Does anyone know of any opportunities? I’m currently freelancing as well.

This concept fascinates me & since I saw it on Reddit, I wanted to bring it here. Tell me what your experience has been like :)

Anybody working in consulting and OE?

Anyone willing to share what assets they're investing in with the extra money from being overemployed?

Ok, I’m in. What are the salaries of some of the jobs you guys are doing, and the daily demands (hours and typical time of day you need to be “online”)? Are we talking working 2 90k jobs or the second job is a $35k data entry side gig?

The first rule of overemployment is dont talk about overemployment to anyone outside your house. :). Second: always protect the main job. Third: As the main job always has the priority, the Second and third jobs must preferably be contract gigs with not too many meetings everyday. Remember: another day, another dollar.

Anyone in consulting and doing OE? Using bench time for J2+ seems like a good opportunity in this environment, considering it wouldn’t look out of place to remain on the bench for quite a while

How do you handle if both j1 and j2 offer health insurance or 401k? Do you decline if they’re the through the same provider?

Chatter about a recession have anyone considering obtaining an additional job?

Did you change anything on your resume when you have 2 FT jobs?

I wish I was overemployed. Searching for gigs, but nothing yet. Any tips on how to get one or more extra jobs?

Could I pull off asking my manager from J1 for approval of freelancing on the side? It’s quite common anyway for designers I think. And then my j2 can be “freelance” even though it’s full time?

Does j2 background check decline you if they see you’re still employed with j1?

How do you go about your LinkedIn profile after having gotten (or in the works of getting) job2? Do you add an end date to your current job?… do you deactivate your LinkedIn? 😅… how do y’all go about it?

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?

Currently have J1 as current employer used The work one for my BC. I looked at Equifax/ The work one to see if J2 uses that service, fortunately they don’t.
Question - if J2 runs a BC for J1 and Finds out I am still employed isn’t that a red flag?
