I'd believe it...

What does it mean if there’s a NEP at the firm who’s been there for a long time (20+ years), but never got promoted to EP? Never held leadership roles too. Does it usually mean EPs does not like the NEP enough to get promoted?

The NEP has a book of business, though no idea how much it brings in.

What types of questions/polls/posts do you want to see/discuss?

Ive been practicing in TX for 2-3 years at a big law firm doing mostly bankruptcy work (and some trial) and looking to clerk at a bankruptcy court in SDNY/DDE/EDVA (I am well aware of how great the SDTX judges are but I am set on leaving Texas). Anyone familiar with how many apps these judges normally get or what makes candidates stand out? Are these judges generally not interested in someone who has practiced in a different market?

We are trying to change plan. What you’ll think about Aetna EPO, heard it pays 100% for IVF? Currently on BCBS not much benefits if we would want to skip IUI and jump to IVF. Any suggestions here would be helpful. Thank you.

How are you doing? Do you have any date to return to the office?

Thoughts on McCann Paris?

I’m feeling stagnant in my career and looking for ways to grow. I was considering obtaining a PMP certification and wondering how impactful this is. Is this certification well recognized?

Is this an aggressive position? Would you use final regulations effective for tax year beggining Dec 16, 2020 to support a deduction for calendar tax year 2020? Proposed regulations didn't include this exception. More details below.

Do you feel like turnover has now diminished after this busy season or will it kick up again as we approach the next one?

At this point, I'm wondering if most firms have hired enough people or they are still on the lookout due to shortage.

What are some useful tools that you use to assist you in your management?

I need a magic spell to make employers stop asking community managers to design, manage ads and create strategies. As you read, a CM is in charge of your COMMUNITY. They're should not be doing the work of 4 people.

What questions should I ask a candidate during an interview for a community manager job?

Does anyone here know anyone who has left their CM role? What was the next step in their career?

Moderators/managers for virtual communities actually have a pretty difficult job because the rules for posting have to be interpreted, there are very few hard and fast absolutes in this profession

When you’re discussing the company on community pages like reddit, do you use your own name or the company name?

I’ve been thinking about starting a blog for community managers. What topics would you like to see covered?

If you had to choose between Discord and Reddit as your main community hub, which one would you pick and why?

It’s amazing the power that asking easy-to-answer questions can have on a community. It’s a great way to get nervous users more comfortable with engaging.

I love watching users go from lurkers to enthusiastic active participants. What do you find the most rewarding part of being a community manager?

I have a bit of experience doing social media management with online businesses but I’d like to try out working with local businesses in my area. What are some good strategies for doing cold outreach, and what kind of services would you offer to entice them to work with you?

What is the best way to get early adopters participating in the community before officially launching it? We want it to look like a lively place before new folks pop in.

I’ve started a new job and though they have a community, it has been stagnant for a long time. Would you face the change directly with a “we’re back!” style post, or just increase the activity without acknowledging the absence?

We’re looking to implement incentives to encourage community engagement. We’re going to test both material incentives (product) and good ol’ fashion recognition. Which one do you think will do better?

Talking about the impact of covid on family life is big in our community, but politics is strictly prohibited. Just the mention of covid when certain members are around and it turns to politics. Time to ban covid talk completely?

Is there a need for freelance community managers?

I was rejected from a job because I don’t have a big online presence. Why does work have to be my hobby, too? Is this normal?

Wanted to share a recent win in case this would work for anyone else in the bowl -- We started a “share some music” channel in the community and it’s amazing how a non-related topic can encourage participation.

I'm looking for a good podcast that discusses community management or examples of successful communities. Any suggestions??
