I was laid off during Deloitte‘s mass layoff in July of last year. I have worked as an independent contractor since and projects haven’t been consistent at the client I’m working for. I’m looking to get back into a big firm and was seeing if anyone would be able to refer me or help get my foot in the door. I was a business analyst for 1.5 years at Deloitte and have several years of additional experience which I’d be more than happy to share.
Does anyone know avg salary of TPM at Amazon?

Good news - I’ve made several really good friends after 27 (I’m 36). Sources below:
(1) Rec sports teams (if you’re not into sports, you can join cornhole leagues, trivia leagues, etc)
(2) Business school
(3) Friends through partner
(4) Mom friends - son is 1, so I’m getting there
Plenty of time and occasion in life to meet new friends!
if only i can get into business school 😭
So true. The pandemic definitely exacerbated the fact that I feel like I’m losing friends far more rapidly than I make them. I put myself out there too - I do extracurriculars, and try to proactively reach out to people. As a more naturally shy person, though, the closest friends I’ve ever made were when I was in forced close proximity all the time - school, in person work, etc. With WFH and a lot of other in-person stuff dwindling, it’s so much harder ):
This is why I’m grateful for finding my wife.
Lost all my friends from college, high school etc because everyone gets busy with their own life. Wife and I are pretty much best friends and it gets better with each passing day.
Same I’m 28 it’s hard making true friends as an adult. You need to accept that you might just be alone and that’s okay!
Go do things by yourself and you’ll meet people that do the same things you love to do. Best way to find people of similar interests.
I did this with music. Went to shows by myself, and then just met a lot of people at the venues.

Now think how difficult is now for those 13-18yo kids, just discovering social life under this pandemic.
Really worried about their mental health
Bumble BFF has been good to me! V dating like lol but you’re start as acquaintances and now I can consider one or two people actual friends!!!
Guys, focus on finding a partner who is your true friend. Make that a big part of your life
That’s what I want but thats EVEN HARDER. It’s tough out here 😪
I'm 28 and recently relocated to a new city! Making genuine friends is hard but I feel like to meet people you have to put yourself out there!
Yes I highly suggest engaging in some type of activity — taking dance classes, cooking classes, language classes, rec sports (kickball, cornhole), bumble also has an app for platonic friendships, joining meetup groups.

Yeah at 28 has made me treasure my 6-7 super close friends even though we are all over the country.
Younger brother and sister recently moved to my city which has helped me and my fiancée.

Yerp. Thankfully I’ve got a group of 8 guys from the neighborhood I grew up in that I’m super close with and see every few weeks. Need to see my college buddies more often though.

After a point in time many, including me, stop looking for friends and start enjoying me-time.
I am almost entirely focused on my family and myself with maybe once a month connect with friends. So much better this way.
Most of the real friends I have are in different parts of the world now and we connect virtually when we remember each other.
