I’m a rebellious teenager trapped in a 30-year old woman’s body

For people who post links to news first - how do you do it? I send stuff to people and they're like oh saw that, and it was two hours ago...

Looking for a couple of very strong social strategists with agency experience. Open to remote working. Hit me up if you’re interested!

Has anyone pivoted to a fed gov job in the intelligence space? Such as a civilian intelligence specialist, etc. would be curious to hear your path! Thanks.

Hey everyone. Do you have a good work-life balance in your job?

Can you change your 401k contribution amount specifically for bonuses, in the fidelity 401k? You can do this for Schwab 401k but not seeing an option for fidelity

Con’s of pto - coming back to the office with 50+ emails 😅

How do you get used to someone looking over your shoulder and watch you design? It makes me so nervous

Hi CTS Sharks ,

How much time does it take to become manager from SA in CTS in general if person join as SA at 8 year experience.

Wondering for anyone who got their CFF (Ceritified Financial Forensics) designation. Was it difficult? How long does it take to study for using the review course? Is the exam mainly multiple choice or short answer and how difficult? Any guidance or tips would help please. I already have my CFE but just want to know if CFF is worth it

Endless anxiety and refreshing the candidate portal waiting on score release for my last test.

Any ideas on planning a quarterly retreat for a startup? Specifically for strategy day and culture. Never planned a quarterly retreat before and is not to sure what it entails. I’ve been told agendas for retreats are very subjective to company but would like some general ideas if anyone has any!

How long have you been coaching, and what are some tips and tricks you care to share?!

Anyone know of a sort of speeddating site for London creatives looking for a partner? Kinda sick of seeing most job alerts going up as "looking for creative team".

currently debating if i should work on the hill or accept an IB role. i feel like working on the hill is invaluable experience that could get me into IB but maybe i’m wrong? Which opportunity gives me best resume experience?

Hi..
What is the hierarchy structure - Senior Software Engineer, Senior Specialist, Consultant, Senior Consultant? Are they all in E2 band?

Is anyone else noticing a big shift in their hiring right now? Our job postings have been suddenly receiving unprecedented amounts of volume recently. I’m curious about what you all are experiencing within your roles and your thoughts on the current state of the market at the moment.

I just watched Netflix's "How it Ends".

I am so blown away by the last like 20 mins of the movie. Like someone clearly edited most of the script up to that point then decided "eh the rest is probably good enough for no one to qc"

I’m so grumpy about new campus hires. Sometimes I’m judgmental (your hobby is “working on your golf swing,” really?). Sometimes I’m just exhausted by the worried earnestness. Sometimes I’m amazed that they seem to have zero useful skills, yet they’ll be making 150k easily in the not too distant future.

Having a sad night 🥲

Surface Pressure from Encanto hits me harder than anything has in a really long time…

“Pressure like a drip, drip, drip that'll never stop”

Every night for like the past month I’ve been getting incredibly emotional about adulthood. I miss the lack of responsibility, the simplicity of life, friends were always around, and less pressure to be successful.

I’m 3 years out of college now so it’s not like I just started doing this stuff, but I am feeling the exact same feeling as I did when I first started work and just wanted to be back in college. I know I just need to grow up and accept that’s how life is but it’s incredibly upsetting

Every week, I scroll through Facebook and click the “X” button to hide all the ads just to screw up their ML model. Sometimes I win. Sometimes they win. 😅

What do consultants do? I see Consultant titles pop up on here all the time and wonder what do y’all do? What are you consulting on? Seems interesting but i I googled and am still confused.

Do you text your SO when you’re out drinking/partying? Do you expect them to text you?

I miss the Friday evening post. :-(

What are your biggest red flags when dating someone new?

Will I ever get over my poverty mindset?

I grew up very poor. I get extreme anxiety and shame when I spend money above $20. Deep down I feel like I should scrounge and save every penny. I use bath towels that are 10 years old and threadbare cause I can't bring myself to buy a "luxury item" despite making oodles of money and have a ton saved and invested.

Anyone else get over this?

What’s a pet peeve of yours that a coworker or client does? Mine is that my coworker says “ya know” after literally every sentence they say

I've been almost 3 years in my previous company and never have I ever tasted any raise from them. I got transferred to different accounts and LOB it was so exhausting and finally when I decided to leave and send my resignation my Supervisor be like "you know you should be thankful of your job" To be honest the job was very stressful and supervisor at some point is somehow toxic but thankful I get to take my leave.

I dont understand why there is such a labor shortage. Especially with corporate private sphere jobs that tend to pay well.

If you work at McDonald's and the government will pay you more to not work, I get it. But not higher caliber jobs.

What was your worst day at work like?
I’ll go first: I had a long night, didn’t charge my phone, phone died and I woke up 5 hours past my usual alarm… missed two important meetings, I was supposed to lead one of them 🥸

I just watched Netflix's "How it Ends".

I am so blown away by the last like 20 mins of the movie. Like someone clearly edited most of the script up to that point then decided "eh the rest is probably good enough for no one to qc"

Took PM robitussin instead of DM 🤦 mad tired right now..😴

What’s the most dangerous/ reckless thing you’ve done for some ‘action’? Drop your best story 🍿

….. I exclusively use cap locks to capitalize words instead of shift

I think I may have made a huge mistake today. My skip level director sent out an email about something and asked us for feedback. I sent back a note and provided some. One of the things I said was that our job satisfaction might be improved if we could do more of X kind of work instead of Y kind of work that we do so much of in our group. The next thing I know, I get a ping from his EA to set up time for me to chat with him and my director tomorrow. I am getting in trouble tomorrow, right?
