I love scrolling on Facebook marketplace to get a good laugh at people trying to sell something they bought 5 years ago for 80% of its value

Selling on Marketplace is insufferable. In my listings I write "Asking if available is an automatic block.". All I do is block people. Very little sold.

Lots of Pelotons on there. I called that 5 years ago.

I can't look at it, every time I see stuff for sale there, I worry people are $$$ desperate and in a bad shape and it makes me worry for my neighbors

Hi Fishes,

Is it norm in Tech Mahindra?

Received an offer letter with joining date of a week from a date of offer release. No discussion about my joining date previously, though they knew my notice period is 2 months. Now, when asked HR about revising offer letter with updated DOJ he says, first give me LWD Letter. How can I resign before I actually get confirmation of DOJ?
Please suggest. Should I resign and wait for them to send me offer?

Is it possible to apply straight (rather than moving laterally in London, waiting a few years then transferring?) interested in MBB views too. (I would have roughly 2.5 YOE by then)

I need help figuring out if I’m being underpaid. I’m working in real estate private equity and I focus on fund models and property valuations. I’m currently at base $80k and 20% bonus. On top of that I have 5 years experience and a masters in finance. I’m good at my job and receive positive reviews from everyone. I feel like I should be compensated better but the company says that’s what they think I’m worth. Any help or insights would be great!

Hello all! I am looking for a job in finance/investments, but I’m having trouble attracting attention from employers.
