I really hate having stand ups everyday. Why can’t we post the update to our story on slack?!?!?!

Our district voted on returning back to school with students in the classroom and some staying at home. We now have to teach students in the room and on Zoom at the same time. I’m not complaining but does anyone have any tips on the best and most effective way to get this done?

Anyone that can invite me to some Slack groups for UI/UX designers and software developers for my learning?

Just realized I hadn’t had an in-person interview since 2019. I’ve done multiple zoom interviews and was onboarded remote in 2020. About to see a real person today! Wish me luck.

How are you teaching middle or high school chorus in the fully virtual realm? I’m looking for new ideas and techniques. I hate that my choirs can only sing on Zoom with everyone muted...that’s the opposite of choral singing :-(

Tips for helping kids stay on task during zoom? Our little class (9 kids) has been doing zoom circle times twice a week but I noticed they are really distracted. Also every meeting a kid leave...

I love teaching art but am having to teach remotely to 1150 kids, k - 5. Have about 54 amazing elementary art teachers in my district that share SO much! I could retire (34 yrs), but just don’t want to because I love what I do! Feeling like my students aren’t getting what they should because I am struggling with Zoom, Microsoft, safe YouTube, bitmoji, embedding, downloads, editing, etc. Anyone else feeling this way?

This years Google year review video will probably have a bill withers song as background music, have some Inspirational Kobe quote at the end, lots of zoom screens. What else am I missing?

Can anyone provide insight into customer success at Slack? I see a roles that might be a good fit but don’t want to just be a customer service rep.

For those who have gone through Mck First Round/Final Round - could you talk about how the interview took place? I am a bit worried as it might be hard to connect with the interviewer when the process is not in-person. Did you have a phone call or a Zoom call with video, and did it feel awkward? Thanks for your help!

Has anyone seen any unique places to find UX portfolios or post jobs other than the usual suspects?
Some UX Slack channels were doing well for a while but I definitely don’t see as much traction there. Meetups obviously came and went. Even the portfolio sites like Dribbble and Behance don’t seem that same.

Hey! Are there any art directors willing to chat over zoom? I’m a recent grad and I need some advice about jump starting !

IEP, 504, and those without internet will return in-person next week while rest of students remain remote. Regular Ed teachers may have students (mild Learning Disabled kiddos) in their room while teaching. They are saying it’s a liability issue if they have one student in the room with them, even though teaching other via Zoom. Thoughts? Anyone else experiencing this?

When is it either allowed or seen as OK to start using FTO? I recently started here and while I’m not looking to slack off and take time off, I just want to know how it works. (Plus, I don’t want to not use something that I can or should use.) Elementary stuff, I know. But I’ve freelanced my whole career until now. Thanks

Hey! Joining the firm next month. Some stupid questions:
What type of laptop they give you? any BYOD option? Mac option?
What tools do the use? do they use office 365 and teams or other?
Cheers!

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.

What is up with greedy landlords/management raising rent by absurd amounts?? Just got my lease renewal and the rent hike is $1400 per month. Why does NYC not do more to protect us from this kind of predatory behavior?

That guy who posted the backpacks post got ratio’d in to oblivion and deleted his post.

Glad to see cool heads prevail

When are rating going to be out for KGS. Any update anyone

How often do you all review your rates? I’m 6 months into partnership and my rate is the same as it was two years ago when I started at this firm as a 4th year (currently had a license just over 6 years and the 5.5 I’ve been in practice are all domestic relations)

Any ENTP here?

INFP-A Mediator. Hilarious because I abandoned a career in diplomacy for financial reasons 20 years ago!

Anyone working in spain??

If we join in September, are we eligible for coming appraisal / year end review?

Hi! I have 9yoe in startup, hyper growth environments. I have a strong customer Quality Assurance process improvement background. I want to shift into becoming more of an IC vs people manager. With that in mind, what steps would get me there? Should I consider a PMP or Lean Six Sigma certification? Any other ideas? I feel so stuck and need a change. Thank you!

I feel like there are more people engaging on professional networking platforms (like this one) right now. I'm wondering what will happen when all goes back to normal. Do you think people will still stay this connected?

I just turned in my dates for a google interview for software engineer manager, does any one have any advice on any of the 5 interviews and how long the process normally takes? and would any one like to give a refferal? Thank you so much!

Happy Monday afternoon to everyone except to those recruiters who ghost job seekers 👻

Tips/concepts to know for Google Data Center Technician interview? I’m coming from help desk so I’m not super well versed in hardware/networking

How am I supposed to deal with priorities changing daily and constantly having new tickets added to an already planned sprint? Is this normal?

Is it a bad idea to leave tech and try something else if I want to go back to tech eventually? For context I have the opportunity to move to London and pivot into a new field for me but the job is at an agency. I know I’d want to eventually go back to tech but paranoid it’ll be more difficult - thoughts?

Hey y'all, kind of a two part question:
1. I enjoy the people management more than individual contributor stuff. What career paths do you see in our industry for people who are managing support engineering teams?
2. What certifications are valued today? Seems like being a AWS Cloud Practitioner is a good general one, but are there others that stand out?

Hi all! Looking for some advice please!
I am looking to stir my career into a Project Management role. I have some work experience in managing IT Projects but don't have the title. Is working towards a PMP Certificate worth investing time and money in worth it or should I just apply for a PM role?
Thank you in advance!

I have been interviewing for a new job but I keep hearing about layoffs and a recession coming. Is now a bad time to switch jobs?

Started at a big firm in July with high hopes- in the career path I wanted and I would be joining with other new grads.
After onboarding, it’s as if my team forgets about us every day. The training is non existent, there doesn’t seem to be any initiative to invest in new hires, my manager scolds me for not knowing enough yet gives no direction. I don’t want to waste time (colleagues mentioned it doesn’t get much better from here). Do I embrace the suck or look for other opportunities?

Hey Agency Owners, how did you started your journey from freelancer to agency owner?

Got rejected from one of my desired tech companies, it's agitating but at least they didn't ghost me.
