I just got an offer and they are doing my background verification. I haven’t declared search since I m on h1b and will wait until h1b transfer is complete. However, this new company is asking me to provide mckinsey details to verify employment as part of background check. I think they will contact the HR. Is that ok? Should I declare search? What should I do?

Hey beautiful people,
I’m 27Y and work in tech. Unfortunately my carpal tunnel is getting worst slowly. I’m worry that I still have like 45 years more to be retired and can’t stop working because I have a f* mortgage to pay 😭 I have a super ergonomic workstation, but I know my hand needs a long rest, and I can’t do it… Does anyone relate? What do you recommend?

I interviewed for KPMG on 11/15 for a Senior role and the HR emailed me on 11/16 that everyone liked me but they think I should be hired as an Experienced Associate. I had a call with the HR on 11/17 wherein we discussed about my salary expectations and the HR said he will get back in a day. It’s been more than 10 days and multiple follow ups but still no response. I don’t think I was rude while talking to the HR, I just told my current salary and asked for min. that no. Did i miss the chance ?

Is anyone concerned the push for sexual equality in pay without accordant leveling of parental leave is gonna backfire?

Here’s a hypothetical:

A company has 2 candidates, aged 25-30, equal in every respect save one’s a man the other’s a woman. Maybe the woman is a slightly better candidate overall. They’d have equal comp.

Company considers the woman a riskier bet due to possibility she’ll take maternity leave — and considers the man less risky for his ineligibility to take as much leave. 🤷

Anyone who works for Encompass/ Enhabit home health-PRN willing to share their hourly pay?

Where are my fellow less-advanced islanders? I feel like I play a lot (~1hr/day) but wow reading what everyone else is doing I realize I’m slow in comparison!

Island is open: L4L4L 😮

Bottom half of my island is a hot mess but the upper half is inspired by the attractions at the Golden gate park!
