I’ve worked in account management since I graduated college and am now 27. I like what I do, and believe I am good at it but it’s no longer something I really have a passion for.

I’d love to find an internal role that isn’t client facing. Any suggested roles to look into from former account folks?

I was thinking ops but I started a role at a new company this year and their ops teams seems to do wildly different work than my last company so im not too sure.

Hi Fishes,
Does JP Morgan match the offer to retain employees, and if yes do they do it immediately before the NP ends or do they revise it in next appraisal cycle.

CSM or PSM? And the best study resources please!

Wish I could post in this bowl. But I work in an office where literally NO ONE talks. Like I might as well be at home by myself. In my pajamas. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Comcast folks - what's up with the SkyTV PM roles they are trying to fill? Seems to be many of them. I had HR reach out me almost a week ago. I responded with my availability and since then, radio silence.

How do you maintain a healthy relationship with your luxury fashion items? How do you feel watching Youtubers show off their luxury bag collections? I find it off-putting because I don’t even want to have that many luxury bags—I’d take them for granted. Do you feel influenced by others in the professional setting, or maybe even under the pressure to look good among peers in high earning industries? If not, what drives you to make a purchase for yourself? Would love to hear your thoughts

Tad off topic, but how about those Minecraft folks 😅

To those not familiar, the less professional part of the web has been abuzz with controversy over probability in a videogame, complete with statistical analyses pretending to be written up as papers. The gist is that a speedrunner (someone who tries to beat a game as fast as possible) got extremely lucky or cheated. The whole fiasco has unfolded into multiple freelance gigs and rebuttals. Pretty entertaining read, do recommend looking it up.

Big law specialist with an offer to be the CFO and GC of a 250M AUM hedge fund. All in comp would probably be ~$300k, so about $100k less than where I would be in big law (including bonus). Potential to get involved in the business side, but most likely more of a back office role (I would also be the only legal hire - main goal would be cutting outside legal cost and streamlining processes). Does this sound like an attractive offer? What exit options would I have?

Is USDC going complete remote?? Any news or update

Am I getting played if my MD is saying I can switch projects (been here 2y) but it’ll take 12-18 months for it to be the “right time”. Do I trust them or just find a new job to put my career first? Seems like if it wasn’t BS they’d help me faster. I doubt they put clients on hold for 12-18 months…

Not ready to go back to work after such a great weekend 😭

Looking for tips! I got staffed on a PMO Support engagement for the next few months. I am not contributing or controlling any deliverables as it’s a whole different group managing that. To prevent utilization impact, I thought it wouldn’t be that bad but here I am doing admin work. Any ideas to keep my head cool while I look for other opportunity to roll off within the firm or outside the firm?

My wife brought me flowers because we argued about something she was wrong about and now wondering why I didn’t care much about the flowers. What I am supposed to do with this🤷‍♂️? I usually give her flowers because she cares about it and likes it. She knows I don’t care much about them. Does your wife gives you something knowing that you’re not going to care about it?

Is there any reason someone who can shouldn't do this?

HIPAA expert: do I have the right to share my dental CT scan with other dental offices? My current dental office says they can’t export/share my CT scan since the file is too large and their machine “isn’t set up to burn CD or share file via USB”. Is that BS? Never heard of this and don’t want to pay for another CT scan at my new dental office

Fellow Fishes -

How did you all deal with failure in your career. I was ambitious and smart. I was in IBM and considered to be one of the best of my class. I was fired and haven’t really found my way.

I don’t know what to do anymore. 3 years after the fact, I am still at an entry level position. I hate myself for letting things get this bad but I don’t know how to get out of this perpetual cycle. I tried working my ass off but have not been able to shake off that unfortunate past.

Arg1: 50% population stand, 100% sit. So stfu and leave it down.
Arg2: Gender equality. Equal rights. Leave it as you find it or use it as you need it..

What compels you? Erhh.. Go...?
