Hi fishes,

If anyone interested in Capgemini Referral, please let me know

Has anyone that’s currently job searching found that agencies/recruiters have been open to remote work? That hasn’t been the case for me as I’ve been interviewing so I I’m wondering if it’s just the people that I’ve spoken to.

What are the rules for a rent stabilized apartment? Rent increased $100 a month. I was expecting $25-50. Want to know before I say something.

Disclaimer: yes I'm lucky and grateful it's only that much...

Can someone at EY refer me for 1040 Profile ?

How do you deal with condescending co-workers? I have been working with an engineer who has been incredibly rude and condescending through email & Slack. He’s not my boss, not even on my team, and he acts like he can tell me what to do. Have any of you dealt with that? What should I do?

I lost faith in relationships after reading guidebooks for pick up artists…every time a guy approaches me, I can’t help but to identify the purpose of their behaviors based on what those guidebooks preach and immediately I feel depleted. It’s feels so much safer to keep people as platonic friends, so I don’t have to worry about being manipulated.

What was you best application of 100k airline miles? Mine? ANA first suite from NRT to IAD, complete with 7 course meal, caviar/champagne course and a lounge that was epic!!

What are you greatest pet peeves with job candidates? I've heard some technical recruiters often get low-effort applications either from candidates who don't fit a job profile or are from a location too infeasible for relocation. I'm wondering what are the recurring issues you've encountered from the recruiting process, or things you wish could be improved.

I’ve started to block recruiters on LinkedIn for the last month. I can’t tell you how many just send out some generic email with a job that has nothing to do with mine. I understand the pressures of recruiting / smile and dial culture but at least be in the ball park. The best is when you speak to them and they go “oh this job requires 7-10 years exp, so you have that?” Just LOOK AT THE RESUME. I’ll probably never work with an agency ever again after the last few months.

Ok, on this dreary day when all we have to entertain us is digital media: what's your favorite movie about/set in New York? I'll watch one of them tonight! I'm a sucker for Annie Hall. What's yours?

SC brings up another point, do you let your team and supervisors know you are in recovery? I have always lived by the adage I may be the only Big Book anyone sees, so I always let my co-workers and management know I'm in recovery. I'm also a DCM so it helps book time off to go to Area Assemblies.

Change my mind: Blanket student loan forgiveness would be borderline immoral.

It’d be a giveaway to the most educated and, generally, most wealthy people in society. Plus unnecessary given that we can give relief to those really struggling by using or expanding existing loan forgiveness and income based repayment programs.
