Hi EA Team! I’m interested in hearing from you all, what kind of projects do you take on? In the EA role Besides the basics: of travel, expenses, calendaring, space captain, offsites. I ask bc my boss is offering me an opportunity to start getting more involved in the business he said, and i quote “i want you to be an extension of me” what kinda role is that? I love Ops work, i use to do it at a start up, and being in a global company now i realized how much calendaring is not my favorite lol

I have not been on a project for over 3 months. Since I joined, I have been put in training. The training got extended by a month and now it's close to 4 months since I joined and without a project.

What should I do? People say that I'm lucky to get paid without doing any work, but it is stressing me out. I need the experience. The uncertainty is freaking me out, with rumours of layoffs and the certification program and all.

How do I get into a project? How long do I have to wait more?

Send me a message if you’re interested in learning more!

Hi everyone,

I’m in a pit of a pickle…I’m leading my very first project (case study) with a team of 5. We’re all in different countries and different time zones 😬

What do I need to include on the project plan/roadmap so there’s a clear understanding of what our goals are? How do I get everything to align for success and how do I keep everyone motivated?

Hoping someone can help - I got an email to collect my passport and saw my skilled worker visa has been approved but I have not received any official communication from the UKVI regarding my outcome (although my collection email said that my decision was emailed). How long does this usually take to come through?

Thanks in advance :)

I’m using TurboTax and hoping someone can clarify if what I am doing is correct. I contributed to Roth IRA, but MAGI is above limit so I recharacterized in 2022. For 2021 tax return, I selected Traditional IRA > No to repayment of distribution > No to excess IRA contributions > No to non deductible contributions to IRA…after saying No to all of the questions, it states that I have a penalty. I thought I didn’t have to pay a penalty if I recharacterized? Any help appreciated!

Has anyone tried both online TD ameritrade brokerage and JPMorgan brokerage? If so, can you share some pros and cons of both? I’m currently using TD to buy stocks, but I’m debating if I should just move all my stocks to JPMorgan since my checking and saving are with Chase already. FYI, I don’t do day trade and most of my investments are ETFs and hold for long term.

I read this super interesting article about how big companies like Toyota are investing in social-emotional training for their employees and seeing massive benefits. I actually think this could be a whole separate class for students of all ages. Learning about conflict resolution, growing your own self-regulation skills...it's really important.

Should I go from an SDR in an established member of a competitive market to a TM at a new kid on the block startup. Both companies have very similar products.

What are some things I should be considering before making the jump?

Hello - I’m currently looking for drop box visa slots at any one of the Indian consulates and unfortunately everything says not available. Just curious to know how y’all went about getting a slot?

Also, has anyone used an agent to book their appointment?
