Is anyone living in LA and stuck with a RTO mandate to the Bay Area? Wondering how you’re handling.

Did anyone from EY receive a notification TODAY indicating that they were selected in the lottery?

I’ve had radio silence from a small investment bank for about a week now. I’ve completed several rounds of interviews, but last Thursday the firm reposted the job I’ve been interviewing for. On Friday the headhunter said that they’re not sourcing new candidates and it’s probably just LinkedIn automatically refreshing the listing. She said they had a busy week last week but will make a final decision this week - is the delay and radio silence a bad sign or is this typical for experienced hiring?

Hey guys! I'm working on pivoting into ux research (background in product management and an MSc in marketing). Any recommendations for ux research certifications? Something that is well respected and well known and also provides a solid foundation of ux?

Anyone have online courses you’d recommend for learning general product knowledge? I see a few on udemy/Coursera, but just wanted to see recos from the community

UXRs: what products/services do you use the most in the course of your job? Would you recommend them?

Starting up a UX research discipline in my new company and looking to start us on the best footing.

Hey Metafishies! I’m looking for a mentor for pivoting into AR / VR design. I’m a recent grad and Art Director in advertising but I have some translatable skills in UX that have netted me a good amount of student awards - I’m still so early into my career, but I see so much that I want to contribute to in this next advent of human interaction. If anyone has any connections or can chat about this I’d really appreciate it :)

Hello All,
Is Atos better than Concentrix Catalyst ?

I am supposed to join Atos in July.

I was talking with an Asian mentee who told me that he has experienced the following microagression during job interviews: "You speak English soooo well!" Any suggestions about how he can respond?

I have a strong junior book and won a Gold Pencil in the Young Ones recently, but can't seem to find a single job lead anywhere. Anybody know who in LA I should reach out to?

Wondering if anyone can share the approximate timeline after applying to Target Corp. to hearing something from them. Applied 9/1 and on the applicant portal the status still says “in progress.” I got a great internal referral, but I’ve not reached out to the hiring manager. 😬 I know there were a few hundred applicants — what’s a realistic timeline and what could I say to the hiring manager if I reach out to them. Many thanks.

Hiring managers, what do you look for as you’re going through resumes?

Currently at a super conservative defense firm. I do really well but keep getting the criticism that I tend to just do things on my own initiative. I’m just predisposed to being decisive and rather autonomous. Besides being a solo atty, where would this skillset be better suited? Plaintiffs work?

Nothing worse than an analyst who thinks they know everything and can't think big picture - neither can you take direction nor do you understand broader context around said comments

Hi, has anyone tried Rodan & Fields products or has been their consultant?

Anyone ever quit their job without notice? Why did you do it?

How do you get experience when no one will hire you? I wouldn’t mind hanging a shingle but I feel it’d be irresponsible to do so with no experience. Unlike all of my classmates, I never landed an internship/externship in law school - had only one interview. I was a PT law student, came from a CS background, and worked in IT throughout law school. I passed the bar exam on my first try (Oct 2020) and have only had a couple interviews out of the hundreds of applications I sent out. Any suggestions?

Hi, do you know of any opening as a production manager making at least 120K? The environment where I'm currently working is getting more toxic than ever and they are expecting me to fill all the openings with the minimum wage. I've been in the same company for the last 7 years, but with all the pandemic still going on, nobody seems to understand that when you are short staffed is impossible to get the same results as when you are fully staffed. Any help or insights will be greatly appreciated.

Recommendations for tailors on the west side? Considering using nordstrom if all else fails… can anyone vouch for nordstrom?

Your secret $-$$ diner in LA County?

Best place to score moving boxes?

I have a young mentee (Junior at University of Michigan) who is hardworking, ambitious, and a total sweetheart!!
She is looking for a TV/film/production internship for this summer and I was hoping someone could help give her a referral to an internship 🥺 She has been diligently networking and searching for internships for over half a year. I know she will wow everyone she will meet and I can’t think of anyone more deserving than her. I work in healthcare so I wish I could do more to help her!

Will be moving to LA at the start of next year. I make $150k and my boyfriend freelances and averages around $60k. How much should we realistically be paying in rent max?

Any recs for how to learn how to drive in LA? 😅 Would you recommend driving classes?

How is the Torrance area?

Super bummed about the hiking trail and beach closures. What are some good outdoor areas I can go to? Walks around my block are getting boring.

Best areas to live in if have to commute to DTLA two days a week and partner has to travel to Riverside next year? Ideally we don't want to move twice. Hoping to not have longer than 1 hr commute with traffic in either direction. Please be kind I know LA traffic is horrible- I don't need a lecture about how bad it is lol

How many people use the metro and or commuter bus to work? I’m European and lived in NY but I know that public transport is very different here. I’m thinking of speed, safety, reliability, and realistic expectation to use every day - TIA!
