I work in insurance. I was working for an Allstate agent and was fired the day after my grandmothers funeral for being “unenthusiastic in our morning meeting”. Now I’m having anxiety searching for a job. I don’t think I want to sell anymore yet every single recruiter I interview with says I should, that I have a “salesperson mentality”. I’m burnt out. Has anyone else felt this way? How did handle it? Is there a different career path I can take or am I destined to sell insurance forever?

I was informed today that my employment would be terminated at a tier-2 consulting firm in Toronto. The reasons for my dismissal are unclear and I would like to get legal advice on the termination agreement and severance package that was offered. Has anyone experienced a similar situation and can refer a good employment lawyer?

Is there a risk of accepting a role with Upstart currently? I seen a 7% layoff recently for hourly employees but I would be salaried. I am well aware it’s a risk in tech overall right now but curious on thoughts thanks!

Is severance taxed higher? I got 1 month of pay but seemed to be taxed much higher

FX & Treasury Sales Job at a bank in India

I work at an US bank in a middle office role in India but I’m not liking it much because it’s process oriented. Now I’m getting an offer from an Indian based bank for the Treasury and FX sales role but I’m so confused about the job security and targets. My questions are below:

1) Will I be asked to work for 12 hours?
2) Will I be given targets and if I don’t meet it, will I be fired or something?

Does someone have an idea of the work culture at OYO?
Just wanted to get an idea on the culture and WLB (is it better/worse than ZS) and the job security as they fired a lot of people last year .

Thanks!

I’m a Junior accountant, recent MBA grad in Finance, located in NYC, just got laid off due to a merger. Anybody hiring or know any opening positions?

This job feels like it’s killing me slowly. Physically, spiritually, emotionally. Working to stay positive and opportunistic. Anyone willing to share solutions? I want to be productive and positive.

We need to grow the bowl for this to be effective.

Hi Everyone - I was hoping someone could throw some light on the kind of work trust and safety does. I see a lot of open roles - managers, senior strategists etc. I have a top 20 MBA and about 8 years of big 4 experience in consulting - would this be the right kind of role to get into? Or is it more engineering?

Joining Google in a few weeks and assuming I will be moving to the Bay Area sometime this year. For people who have kids, what do you do about schools? My wife and I are looking to buy a place but most the public schools in the South Bay are rated terribly. It’s good to note we don’t have kids yet but are trying to think longer term. Are schools even considered in the resale value of a house? Thoughts and insights appreciated!

I work on a Mac and excel/sheets can’t handle the size of my data. MS access isn’t available on mac. What do I do 😭

When should I negotiate new equity packages?

I report directly to my Chief Growth Officer and my startup is about to raise our series B. I joined the company 1 month after series A and I was told by my boss that employees get equity based on their future value to the company, not based on their success in the short term. So should I negotiate equity in every round of funding?

I think hospitals would benefit tremendously from hiring designers to help facilitate better space utilization, communication, etc.

Anyone interested in sharing their craftingcases membership if they dont need it/use it anymore? Ive paid for other resources and keep reading about CC now and would love to get access for free or reduced price 🙏🏼

If you get an offer a few days before you have a final interview (or while you're waiting to hear back), is it okay to ask for some time? Or do they expect you to answer right there?

Any thoughts on Analog Folk?

Hi all. I can't help but feel that my current 'Digital Managing Partner' job title is a little too niche when it comes to LinkedIn job/resume keyword relevance, particularly outside of a media agency environment. However, a 'Digital Director' title feels too junior and 'Managing Director' maybe a little more senior. Any logical suggestions please? Thanks

If you got fired today would you have a Bach up plan? What would it be?

In your agency, who owns brand strategy implementation and brand experience across channels (storytelling (communication goals & brand narrative), brand content recommendations, tactic ideation and approach, user experience, etc.)?

The Budweiser commercial was the bravest one of all the SB spots I’ve seen. Standing up for America takes courage when we’re constantly told how horrible America is.

The bond yield curve just inverted. If you don’t have to make any major purchases for the next year, that’s probably a good thing

What do you call different types of systems? I understand “design system” refers to visual design/UI system...but I’ve seen “visual system” and “brand system”. I can extrapolate but curious how others use these in real world application. Thanks!
