Networking is a huge part of all our lives. I don't understand why (some) people on here hate making small talk with others. It's a small world and you never know who is sitting next to you or driving your ass around. I've met some pretty amazing people by starting a conversation.

Perfect strangers?

Me too but I am terrible at socializing

Wish we could say the same to you

OP, it being already such a huge part of our lives is exactly why a little downtime from it can be a good thing. Some people need time to think and process what's happened during the day - others are introverts who are worn down by constant social interactions without any downtime

Hi folks, I have recently joined Publicis Sapient taking an offer of 14.4 LPA. I have total 4.5 years of experience and my previous CTC was around 3.4 LPA. I had various offers in hand but not one to counter this one and PS is providing me 4x+, so I couldn't negotiate much.

Another thing is I was an immediate joiner as I had left my previous organisation 3 months ago so I couldn't wait to think about this offer.

But now I think it's low, what do you think please let me know and suggest.

I’d like to preface this post with saying I was in a very toxic relationship previously. I went to therapy, healed myself, and now feel I have found someone very healthy. He self reflects, he listens, he’s present, he makes me feel heard (mostly). With all that said, I can’t stop feeling like he’s only giving me the bare minimum. I do a lot of the small things, make sure I’m hitting all his love languages daily, and I keep feeling like he thinks he’s doing everything to keep me happy, but

Do you all think I should put open rates and CTRs on my resume for email marketing? I'm a copywriter (obvs) and trying to show results.

And what would be rates worth bragging about? (I have looked up the average rates but not sure if I should include analytics if it's just above average. Like say 35% for open rates and 4% for CTR.)

4) Everyone says “get an education” but that’s impossible with high costs. Why not make tuition free of charge ?

I want to get my PhD, but all of the programs I want require a full time commitment for the first year. What are my options? Is a sabbatical an option? Or would I have to straight up resign? Utilization notwithstanding (I’m a GPS consultant)…is it possible to go part time? I completed my master’s full time while a full time Deloitte consultant. I know school can be done, but for PhDs they usually want you to also work as a TA. Additionally, I am not interested in online programs.

Is the grass always greener. I’m super happy in my current job. I like my coworkers, I get to do the projects that I want, and I have an all around good support network. I have also built my reputation up enough to the point where I have a lot of flexibility and can control how I work.
But sometimes it bothers me knowing that I could leave and get a significant raise. Reading fishbowl it seems like everyone chases money regardless of how happy they are currently

Hey fish, I need some guidance and advice based on experience. How does one easily transition out of consulting when work is 60+ hours a week?
