I know a lot of people will lose their jobs due to this merger. But, is this also the end of CNN?

Hi folks 👋🏻👋🏻

Anyone has blue points to exchange? I have 80 bluepoints. If interested then please let me know.

I want to get out of warehouse work. What's a good-paying job where I don't need a lot of schooling?

Trying to be really understanding about coworkers with no children feeling stressed during the holiday season, but it's hard not to ask if they'd prefer to go home to my sick kid, frustrated spouse and dirty house instead of their empty apartment where they have a flat screen TV and a beer waiting. How do you keep sane?

Any of you in FinTech coverage? Part of TMT or FIG?

Occupational therapists/physical therapists/SLP, what is a good pay per billable hour/pay per unit? Transitioning from a mental health salary of 70k and looking to at least match that, preferably go higher but not sure how to calculate that.

This is a community to commiserate with other unemployed fish, share job opportunities, tips, etc... I hope it makes everyone in this situation feel less alone.

How is coforge to join in terms job security and wlb

Today someone quit and just straight up walked out of the office. Like something you'd see in a movie. My jaw is still open. You ever seen this happen?

I got into UChicago Booth and MIT Sloan. Convince me to ditch Cambridge/Boston for Chicago.

Developer+ senior consultant

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.

Got an offer from a startup for 19.5LPA.
Its base is 15L, and I'll be getting 124800 in-hand.

I have 3.5 yoe in typescript/react/NEXTjs fullstack. Out of which only 10 months are on a full time role, rest of time was freelancing.
I am also an open source contributor for some NEXTjs related tooling.

Is this a good offer?

Found out I prob won't get my dream job ("waitlisted") and literally cried for an hour (I know I am a loser). I guess I didn't realize how much I hate my audit job lol. How have people gotten over rejection?

Sharks and other fishes,
I need some career advice,
In my current company I think the development portion I've been given is kinda simple, I've asked my manager and seniors to level up my work and stuff, *which they did* but I kinda caught up.. now what should I do, should I ask them to level up again or look for better opportunities
Also, I had some Interest in CyberSecurity and I grinded it on my pre-final semester at Uni, should I try on that path as well or should I stick to development?

Is it true that this time of year is the worst time to apply/ try to get jobs? Looking to pivot out of a contract I got after being laid off in August by 2023.

What is the expected salary for project manager in signify- copper lighting

Human interest stories might not be where the money is, but making the switch has saved my sanity after the tragedy I’ve covered the past few years.

Just found out the "roadside assistance" for my Tesla doesn't cover emergency battery recharging. Wish I realized that before it became an issue

I'm a journalist with 5 years of experience in public relations. I got offered a job as a production assistant where I'll have to so tasks related to my experience in PR, but they want to pay me as a junior journalist. Should I accept this?

Are all journalists really pushy and competitive, or are those just the ones that people tend to notice? Do the calmer ones miss out on stories because other reporters get there first?

If you work in PR: what is your salary and how many years of experience do you have?

In August, Joe Biden referred to the "extreme MAGA philosophy" as "semi-fascism."

Do you think Donald Trump or other Republicans can accurately be described as fascists? Do you think journalists should describe them as fascists?

Why does NBC News pay incredibly low wages? There are people with 5+ years of experience and many went to ivy leagues making $20 - $26 an hour as full time employees… What is going on?

Share the best news you've seen today please!!
I haven't had a good week, but I'm sure this community can make it better :)

I just bought an Alexa for my grandma's birthday. Her old radio broke and she's been kind of sad because she can't listen to her favorite music anymore while cooking, so I thought this would be a good pick. She'll have her favorite music right there.

Later today my grandpa tells me she's not been asking Alexa for her favorite music, but for her radio stations instead 😭😂

Just read that Dodge said that their new electric car will be "super loud." Isn't the point of electric cars being quiet so people enjoy them more?

My nephew who's a journalist student told me about the Wag The Dog movie. As a senior journalist, I feel bad about not seeing that gem before. Please don't be like me and watch it if you haven't by now.

The argument that climate change is not man-made has been disproven by science over and over again, yet many people believe that the global crisis is either not real, not of our making, or both, in part because the news media deliberately chooses not to talk about it because it doesn't sell enough.

"Don't Look Up" is as real as it can be.

SO excited about the new iPhone 14! I currently own an 11 Pro Max and never really upgraded because this one was still fine, but I feel like I want something newer. Has anyone purchased the 14 yet?

I’m negotiating my salary, and I’m curious what a reporter/digital editorial lead makes at your company? I have 15+ years of experience in employee communications and TV news, and I live in the Seattle area. I think I’m being shortchanged bc I’m asked to do some of my previous manager’s responsibilities (he was promoted), but I’m paid as a reporter. I report to my director who reports to our SVP, and I’ve worked for this Fortune 20 company for 10 yrs. Any info would be helpful. Thank you!

What is your favorite VICE documentary?

Lebron James has extended his contract for $97.1 million including two mandatory years and an optional third one. Why does someone need so much money in their life?

Insane how many news outlets are out there and how so few of them are objective and unbiased.

Just saw a meme that said “I’m going to turn off the news and put on a serial killer documentary to unwind” and…..ya. Does anyone else do this?

How much should a TV producer be paid a year? I've been working as a digital producer for 2 years now and I've been traveling for the last 4 years, so I'm not sure what would be a fair payment in the US for a TV producer. Any comment will be extremely helpful.

Does anyone here have any experience working as a White House Correspondent?
