I wrote a story I was really proud of... good sources, solid reporting, the whole thing. But my editor tore it apart when it ran. Said I got the angle wrong, questioned my sources, and even said I missed the real story. It got to me because I put so much into it. Now I'm wondering if I'm any good at this. How do you handle criticism that feels personal?

Anyone else worry about talking to a therapist if they have a security clearance? It just doesn’t feel private if the govt can interview them

I've been a government attorney for nearly three years now and have worked in the same office/division since I passed the bar. I've yet to receive a promotion other than two cost of living increases (in sum, a pay increase of 6k over 3 years). I know this is meager, but I'm mostly ok with it, I just want to see some recognition. On the other hand, it's hard for me to imagine negotiating because (given my inexperience), I don't feel I'd be able to do better anywhere else. Any advice?

Hello,
Is there any vacancy for Dynamics 365 crm/ power platform developers with 4 YOE?
What should be the expected salary range?

Good morning everyone! I am currently working as an Occupational Therapist at a Level 1 center but am looking to pivot into the clinical research field. Can anyone give any insight into transitioning from bedside to clinic research? Everytime I look online there seems to be certificate programs that may or may not be a scam/waste of money. Would appreciate any thoughts, insight, personal experience, referral., etc.!

Thank you!

Has anyone been in a position where they racked up 5-6k in amex expenses because they were late submitting things on time? Did u have to eventually pay it off? Did the firm hold your neck?

Are the 70s coming back? Just saw a woman in a black, flair leg jumpsuit and some hideous platform shoes... yikes🙄

Conflicted 2nd Year Associate here. I generally like my firm but obviously hate the practice of law (biglaw). I've been offered a fairly generous comp package to take a non-attorney compliance role with a FAANG company. While there is a modest base pay cut, the total comp (sign on + annual bonus + options) beats where I'm at now and probably will be better than Cravath-scale (including bonus) through at least Year 4. Since I know I'll bail for in-house anyway, should I go now or wait?

My dream is to move to a super low cost state, buy a beautiful farm house on a big piece of land and work remotely from there. How do I do this? I am a 3rd year associate in big law.

I left an investment bank to join a private equity firm about a month ago. I am now working on a deal that I previously worked on when I was on the sellside (I literally made the entire CIM). Any tips on how to handle this? Is it fine to tell my current firm everything I know about the company?

Will join USI Anyone from this group on 27th June??

Advice for someone moving to SF for an entry level job? I want to start off strong but realistically I'll be spending nearly half my income on rent.

Joining a group that specializes in incident response. Any recommendations on things I can do this summer to prepare on fundamentals/certs?

Can someone refer of SAP BASIS profile for HP please?

YOE: 6.4

Wow! What a day! What type of company starts layoffs right before the holidays? Lost my job this morning and I am stressed out. Is there any chance of finding a new job before the holidays? I'm doubting it.

I’m finding that traditional news becoming obsolete is leading to management taking their frustrations out on staff. The result is a mass exodus in the industry, at least in my area. Are you experiencing the same?

Freelance writers, especially new ones, how do you find stories to cold pitch?

Are there any good conservative sources out there that you think people haven't heard enough about? I'm not against liberal viewpoints or anything. I just think they seem more vocal than the conservatives and I would like to find a balance

Are the reports of the US running out of diesel in the next few weeks accurate? And if so, how will we transport food or anything else from one state to another???

Hello, I wanted to mention that I work as a sports commentator, specifically about soccer. I used to be one of the main journalists for Spanish media, but since I moved to Miami I feel the general passion for soccer is very different 🥲 The energy and commitment are not even close to what I felt in Spain, where some businesses would close if the match was too important. I hope this nostalgia goes away soon.

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?

Any photojournalists around? How did you start getting consistent work as a freelancer?

What’s the appropriate pay for a Video Prodcuer/ editor (for web) in London? I think I’m being underpaid. I have a BA(Hons) in Film & TV and a MA in Television Journalism. I’ve been working at the same company for 4 years and was promoted 3 years ago. I was told to ‘prove myself’ when I asked about the compensation, then the pandemic put a stop to any raises. I asked again a bit more than a year ago and they gave me a little bump because some left. I’m currently at £31k. The company keeps hiring

On the news, there was a report that "stress" causes negative health effects. Um. OK. Don't people feel "stress" just by being alive? Like, what would be the control group that you could measure the results against? I don't know why, but it always makes me wonder

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 😭😂

It's an exhausting time to be working in this industry, to say the least. How do you prevent taking your work home with you?

Any advice from fellow women in this industry? How did you overcome gender biases?

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.

The future of the TV industry is not looking too bright, what is the best way to adapt to the rise in popularity of other types of media?

I haven't had a good week, but I'm sure this community can make it better :)

… any suggestions on courses (self-directed or more formal) to learn SEO?

I’ve been an editor for a number of years, but always pulled and pushed to handle other crises that show up daily, and learning by doing doesn’t appear to work in the world today.

Thanks for any guidance offered.

Is there anything you would change about the career path you took in the industry?

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.
