I recently found an opening for a similar role (paid social buying) that is fully remote (major plus) but is at Activision Blizzard. I'm super conflicted- they've been under SO much controversy (100% their fault) but I'm also sick of my current job (no WLB), and have always been interested in this industry. Does anyone know what it's like to work there now?

I’ve heard mixed things. I’m from Orange County where the office is located. I would say it may depend on how culture in a workplace is important to you or not. I have interviewed with a gaming company, Ubisoft, in the past and in that experience was interesting. I could definitely tell it was a place that people played the game and from initial impression were quite introverted. I can’t give much insight into Blizzard though. Best of luck if you decide to proceed!

Ahh thanks so much, I appreciate it! I'm introverted myself - I get along with my coworkers but definitely would prefer to go straight home vs. team activities outside of work hours. Really hoping this works out!

Hey, I am appearing for a pre-sales engineer interview.

I have a liberty to choose any data science related product. I am essentially confused as to what product to choose, and how to structure the presentation. I would highly appreciate tips and suggestions. Thanks

Anyone here familiar with the hiring process of KPMG consulting in Van? Had a partner interview on Nov 21, thought the feedback was positive but haven't heard back yet (no rejection/offer). Is it something normal or the interview just didn't go as well as I thought?

It's an experienced hire for an SC role. I saw the posting is still open atm, and my guess is that the recruiting team is comparing candidates since competition is higher due to recent layoffs.

Thanks in advance!

My role was just eliminated, and I need to replace it quickly. I have a solid lead on a new job but based on the job description I think it’s gonna be a lot less than I was making. I’ve seen people on one of the bowls mention working 2 full time jobs, like in different time zones or countries. Does anyone have any concrete advice on how to start that process? Any guidance is greatly appreciated!
