Is it normal that I find weekdays more interesting than weekends ? I am living with my parents and all of my college/high-school friends are not living in the same town. I just find myself being idle at weekends, it is really boring! Also due to wfh I can't get to meet new people to hang out.

Feel that. I was in your situation but recently moved back to my city. Got a little better but honestly not going in everyday removes a huge social component of day to day life

It’s not that fun traveling 80% of the time and going into a random office for 10 hours a day either. Consulting ain’t that glamorous

Why cant you meet new people over the weekends?
If you are tied to living with your parents in a city where you have few friends, you will need to make an effort to meet new people. Use your weekends for that instead of being idle and not even trying.

Damn! Ok.. the problem is something else then. Why would you approach a table full of people like that!! Gosh!
There are other ways to meet people. Try friends of friends, dates, join a club or a group fitness class/any class, meetup (the app). Any socially acceptable situation where its ok to approach people and introduce yourself.

Why do people ask questions with obvious answers on this app… go do the things you need to do to improve your life

What seems obvious to you is not obvious to everyone. It is a basic human need to talk and share. Even if it is obvious. Holidays are tough on some people. It would be nice to show some kindness to other people if you are in a good place yourself.

I was contacted by an Amazon recruiter for a remote Sr. Program Manager role. I took and passed the assessment and was moved to the hiring manager round which was scheduled for tomorrow.

The recruiter will let me know if any remote roles come up but in the mean time, does anyone have any remote Amazon roles that they’d refer me to?

Hi everyone. I’m new here but I think I’ll get a lot of really good feedback. I work in government procurement.

It is really hurting morale and, personally, making me look for something different. What is everyone’s experience with old school management? Thank you!

I wanted to spread a little positivity this Friday afternoon. I just started a new job after casually interviewing for several months at the start of the year to do a little research on the marketing job market, and then seriously interviewing/searching since May. After coming close with several other jobs but something always going wrong (low ball pay, role put on hold, etc.) I finally got THE job. I’m excited about it, I’m paid well, and fully remote. So don’t settle, and don’t give up! ✨
