If you’ve been laid off, how upfront are you about it in interviews? Better to let them know right away or further into the process?

Laid off! 🤕

I need to leave human capital consulting. Are there any interview coaches out there who can help me identify my transferable skills to find a job in a talent CoE?

Anyone been asked to sign an NDA for a case study during the interview process? If so, did you make any revisions to it? Or is there anything I should be aware of?

Does every start up/tech co. have an assessment as part of their interview process? Getting rejected from every job once I get to this part and I’m feeling very discouraged about my exit prospects...

I've got a consultant role (rank 42) in GDS DnA team. Any reviews? I've heard they have some client interview post joining, is it true? Also, when would I get the laptop - before joining or on the day of joining? And do they offer any sort of welcome kit or any reimbursements for any tech purchases?

Appreciate the help.

Hi everyone,
Got a call from xoriant for aws big data engineer, what all rounds would be there to prepare

Deferred admit here as well! (HBS and Wharton). If you are thinking about applying I highly recommend it. It won’t hurt your chances in the future and you have so much more time to study in college!!

Just graduated from law school in 2021 and finishing up a one year clerkship. When applying for a new position, would I be considered "entry-level" or a "lateral"?

Anyone have stories of reconnecting with your high school sweetheart (HSS) over a decade later? Was there still a spark? What ultimately happened?
I just got back from flying out of state to reconnect with mine. Now I’m even more confused on where we stand. By the way... I’m in the midst of a divorce and trying to find a job anywhere else but my home state. So I reached out to my HSS and applied for jobs near him. I stayed with him while I interviewed for jobs in nearby towns....

I was laid off a few weeks ago (🥲) and it made me realize I want to pivot into freelance for a bit and live abroad. I’ve done a bit of part time freelance, mostly social media content creation, but I’m so all over the place with what I should do to get started! How to pitch, who to reach out to, all those logistics. Any freelancers here with expert tips for beginners? 🙏😅

Looking for some advice here. Experienced sales person, with a goal of moving into tech. I’ve had a number of interviews in the last week and into this week/next. (Just started applying). Anyway, I’ve also went through an interview process with a great company in my current field. They’re going to make an offer and it’s going to be a good raise over my current position. But, I just don’t feel compelled, I truly want to move industries. It feels weird to turn down a great offer for the unknown

I had an interview (5th round) with senior director from US last week. After that I have not heard anything from Oracle. How long does it usually take to get response?

Hello everyone,
My company is getting merged with Citrix.
I have 6+ years of experience into data analysis & I work on a BI tool Spotfire.
My current Fixed is 12.50LPA + 10% variable.
My manager and I feel I'm highly underpaid but cannot do anything about it due to the merger.
Layoff is not a concern for me, I want to understand the impact of the merger on my financial career.
Should I stay or look for another job?
Also want to know the market standards for my role and yoe.
Thank you!

Would like some advice from partners. I was in financial services doing accounting, tax, technology and implementation for hedge funds through my career. I’m looking to settle on a specialty now. Is there anything specific you would advise for someone like me that’s not too far off from what I currently have on my resume? I’m looking for good upside that’s really a good career for the long haul. Thank you in advance!!

Juneteenth is just around the corner. This is the first year I get the day off as a company holiday -- not sure if my company is having any programs or events. How about yours? And if not, are you doing anything on your own to recognize/celebrate this day?

Who else here thinks that this world is messed up? A driver from my company got into a car crash because a guy in a SUV tried to rear-end him... fortunately the driver is fine

Top companies including FAANG calling 2020,2021 passouts to their base location and now firing is so sad .
I always wonder what these 2-3 year experience guys can contribute that they are called to the base location.

Is WLB related with CTC ? Do we have to sacrifice our WLB for success ?

What is your experience ? Please share 🙏

Mine - It comes down to senior management (client management) who believe in this not bcz it makes sense but more of as a religious zeal and the propogate the same across their team to justify their toxic control over their team's life.

Any job openings right now for Python developer at Tata Elxsi?

Products I worked on previously were sold to a new company. I am a good fit because of my experience. However, I specifically left the previous company because I disagreed with the strategic direction they were taking with the products and didn't leave on the best terms with some of those involved. I've been told that the leadership is all new people, but, some might still be there.

Hi! 2019 grad and started working in-house at a large org. Learning a lot, my area is finance and corporate. Curious to know if there are any folks here who moved to a big law firm from an in-house position (very early on in their career). Was it easy? Did you like it? Very happy in my current position - I def have great work life balance, but feel need more than that. Thanks in advance.

The partner I work with wants me to dictate everything for the secretary to type. I feel that I am better at typing and more productive typing my work out. I have never dictated anything in my life and don’t think I would be very efficient or effective at it, I also hate the sound of my own voice. He keeps trying to push me into dictating but I want to type my stuff out, I do not think I am that slow at typing my work etc and I am getting assigned tasks done so I do not see a difference.

Put all your money in crypto. It’s done going down.

What day did you get laid off? I feel like layoffs always happen on a Tuesday.

My boss told me I shouldn't be helping my direct reports when they struggle and should let them crash and burn instead 🚩🥴

I’m a black AD, does anybody have advice on how to deal with a hostile / potentially racist work environment?

I don't need my laptop to work. I'd say 70% of my time is not using the computer to do production, but the creative process, thought and planning that happens before that. Pen & Paper = cool new tech.

“We will remain open because it’s the right thing to do for our clients.”

What about your employees and their families?

What’s your agency’s hook?

I’m starting a new offering from the ground floor - no existing social clients or work. I’ll be walking into meetings with clients who know me from other agencies, where our hook was “we’re fan-first marketers” or “we are the most premium creative shop in our industry”.

I’m working on my new hook, but would love to hear yours.

I just started a new job and would like to take a week off at the end of the summer for a vacation to visit family. My husband is a teacher so the summer is the only time we can take a full week off this year (other than December, which we already have off). And my vacation time here does not roll over, so if I don’t use my time, it gets wasted. Is it too early to ask for a week off in 2 months?

Curious to learn more about opportunities at consulting firms taking a stab at digital agencies (ala Heat). Any advice on where to look?
