I would take 6 months off — relocate and marry the love of my life, travel with him, pursue two of my business goals that I’m too poor to finance right now, and spend the rest of my time doing philanthropic work around the world with a focus on food insecurity and clean water.

I have been applying to different roles at Slalom for the past couple of months now after visiting them at a job fair. I even had a recruiter reach out to me and ask to send in my resume and apply online yet I haven't gotten any word back from the company or even a confirmation email. Reason in particular.

I was selected in TCS in May 2022. Had accepted the offer but didn't complete further process(BGV and all). Now I am getting innumerous numbers of calls daily from TCS to attend the interview. So I attended one yesterday and got selected as well.Now they're asking me to complete profile on TCS ibegin portal. But it is saying duplicate profile found(due to PAN no.) as I had already accepted offer few months back from some different email id. And my profile is still there in the system. What should I do?

Will party city be the next pump? It relatively fits the profile. Short interest is low but could rise if people surge in. PRTY

Job opportunity wid EY Associate Consultant (analyst) role for HSBC client at 7.5LPA. I read there are joining bonuses and perks at joining. Appeared for interview via post grad placement channel. 6YOE total in Banking sector. Is it decent compensation or should be more? Should i proactively seek better terms before offer is made they are looking for immediate to asap joiners so shouldn't that give me some advantage in seeking a new offer? Growth rates financial and positional? Thanks.

If someone could help - I had a series of interviews for a senior position at Microsoft. I emailed to the recruiter today, the usual thank you blah blah. I got a reply back saying she gets positive feedbacks from all of my interviewers and will update me on Friday. Does it mean an offer is likely? I hate this situation the waiting and the anxiety. It’s no good for my blood pressure.

God help me. I’ve had sex in the office before- with a man and a woman (I am a woman), but that was in my 20s. I thought I was past that. But there’s this super hot guy in the office, and I learned we had mutual friends. You can cut the tension with a knife between us. We had lunch last week and he kept inviting me to more things. We have these wellness rooms in our building- a lockable, private room with a recliner, sink, table and microwave. He brought it up in conversation and smirked.

So I've been talking with a guy I used to be in the military with years ago. I'm the type of person that jokes with people. He gets offended if I joke around with him. He says it's offensive.
