Is it reasonable to ask for three weeks before joining a new company? I was thinking a two week notice and a week vacation to take a breath. What do you think ?

I'll start - How much do benefits factor into your job search and deciding on an offer? For me, the vacation is critical, and it reflects the extent of the agency's culture of trust.

Attending a company holiday party where they're doing a white elephant gift exchange. I barely know anyone except through emails and IMs given that most of us WFH. Fun but office appropriate gift ideas $30 or under?

Does anyone know the exact holiday dates that we will have in the last week of December? Has anyone received any email communication regarding this?

Hi All,

How long do ppl in the US generally take leaves in December for vacation?
Only last couple of weeks or the entire month?

Considering a move to NTT Data in a healthcare consulting role. Mixed reviews in the bowls. Major concerns are bench policy, staff aug roles, 2 week PTO, and high turnover due to job dissatisfaction. Recruiter and mgr had great things to say around growth and opportunity, which doesn’t align with feedback from the bowls or Glassdoor.
Understanding things have changed there in the last few months, I need un-biased advice from fellow fish who have recently joined or can speak to recent changes

startup Gig Alert: I am looking for a brand designer to join our startup team at Lifelines (truly a startup and we’re not in stores yet). We’re a product company set for revolutionizing how people approach sensorial wellness and I’m looking for someone with holistic experience in branding / art direction with a clear, bold visual style. Around 5 years of experience preferred. But work and personality trump years in experience. Always remote+unlimited PTO. Send me books / portfolios.

How much should I charge a friend to watch 4 dogs at their home over Christmas weekend (2 nights)? The dogs don't have any special needs or medications. I've dog sat for other people in the past but always for free. I also have had dogs of my own for most of my life. I want to start charging people for my services but also want to be reasonable since this is a friend and don't plan to charge a holiday fee. We live in St. Louis. Would $40 per day/night be reasonable?

Have an offer from AWS for IT Audit work but just found out that their benifits suck specially the PTO. I know the work life at aws is not all that great but the PTO is really throwing me off.

🎄How do you plan to recharge over the holiday? Are you taking time off? Do you plan to reset or rest at all before the New Year?

As a trans I struggled during this time of the year. My obligation to discuss how hedonist this whole Valentine’s Day is and how it celebrates disproportionately cisgender relationships without ANY regard of that impact on the non cis or transitioning or RE transitioning people. It’s important the feelings of those who are not sure of their gender status into consideration when planning group activity. Especially for students who have not decided to reveal..

Expats from the US or elsewhere outside Australia/NZ, how do you navigate the holiday season? Do you fly home, or fly people out to you? If you stay in Australia how do the seasonal holiday celebrations differ from back home? Trying to decide what to do, first year living in Sydney.

Burnt out at agency and tired of politics. Can going freelance or on contract get you paid well or better? Don’t care about benefits much. But would love to make enough to take a couple weeks off for vacation without pay.

If you were in a private company assistant controller position being offered $10k more to switch over to public and much better PTO days and fully remote as opposed to an in office position that I’m currently at in a Real estate growing company. Would u do the switch back to public (left public just recently)?

How often do you take proper vacation? And for how long? Do you plan it out throughout the year? Do you always include kids?

Although summer vacation is about over for some of us, what do you do as summer jobs (to get by when school is out)?

Hi,

Anyone can see Sept month payslip?

Honest question, if you had approximately 100k to invest right now, whether it be stocks or real estate or crypto - what would you say is the best idea? Timing is also part of the equation.

I’m starting to think there is a very dark side to marketing. My whole job is basically manipulating people into spending money, often money they can’t afford. I’m really starting to question my career.

Forks are literally just bad spoons. There is no conceivable world where I’d pick forks over spoons. Spoons can do everything forks can and forks can do nothing spoons can. Even the hybrid spork shows this clear advantage where forks are made to be more like spoons. Like … ok there’s spaghetti big deal I’ll just scoop it up with my spoon. Steak? Oh no I have to scoop up the steak with my spoon. Try eating soup with a fork. Exactly.

In an ideal world we'd extend SAH orders until levels of COVID are significantly decreased and we have a better control.

Why do women bosses seem to give the hardest time to women about work boundaries?! I get it, you may have had to pave a rough way up, where leaving to pick up your kids at 5 was taboo to say. I can’t work at 6pm gf, even if my husband picks the kids up I need to go have dinner with them. Bye ✌🏽

Are there women here that have a significantly larger income than their male partner/ spouse? My husband used to make a little more money 10 years ago when we first met (when we were both making under 60k). Then I started climbing a fast track career ladder and now make a total comp of close to 300k and he is still under 80k... (which is totally fine with me btw). But I have noticed that this has caused a lot of serious issues for our relationship. any advice?

For those who have onboarded remotely, have you found it difficult to connect with and embody your new company’s culture? Culture is important to me and a big part of it was being with your coworkers and having meaningless chit chat

Hello!! I’m starting a new job on February 1st and will also be going through the remote onboarding. I finally got the official “pass” from my background check yesterday. My biggest issue was just dealing with the company giving the check. They kept asking for the same info several times which was frustrating. So glad that process is over!!

I would love to hear what other people have to say about onboarding remotely because I will be going through the process myself in a few weeks. of course I will share my experience as I’m going through it!

Can anyone give me a few recommendations for remote job searches I've exhausted LinkedIn and indeed and really need a career change

Truth be told I have never been through onboarding via remote. It’s a bit of a struggle. It’s taking forever to get access to certain resources and my assigned mentor is always underwater. How is everyone dealing with this? My manager seems hard to please in our first couple 1:1s.

Left PA and started industry remotely. Haven’t been in the office. Met my team one time. Tips are to always be on video for even the smallest of calls. Take a ridiculous amount of notes. In downtime, go through your notes and come up with questions by reperforming old work. Set up recurring question sessions with your team so you know what to do next time. Set up performance meetings even monthly because it’s hard to get a gauge on your performance

Should one add their personal technology that are currently used for remote work on their resume? Seems most companies will provide the hardware and software needed. However, it’s unclear if the employer will provide this through Teamviewer/VPN connection or will send an actual computer. Along with this, would it be pertinent to add your internet capability (speed, fios/cable/satellite/dsl)?

I have been applying for a Customer Service / Client Relations remote position for the longest time and I haven’t receive any offers. What is happening 😔😔😔

How’s your remote onboarding experience? Any tips/suggestions? Appreciate any inputs :)
