Is it usual to only be able to start at a big company on only certain days? I previously joined a Big4 who only permitted starting on the first week of each month (I hope to start my next job before end of month)

Not uncommon. HR has specific onboarding they usually do in one session with all new joiners.

Glad you are moving up in the world !

Very common. Economies of scale. It’s easy to onboard everyone at the same time rather than every week. Then they can better schedule events and coordinate. A mid pay period starter is frustrating for payroll .. and you might not get your laptop timely

Just made a career pivot and accepted a job with Progressive in sales. I’ve heard more good things than bad about the company. I turned down Liberty and Allstate so I’m hoping I made the right choice. Curious if anyone works there can offer their opinion about what it’s like working for Progressive.

Losing motivation and drive as time goes on , and I’m only 27 . Nothing I’m passionate about and money just seems like it’s ever enough ($160k total comp) . I was lucky enough to be making that much at McK while solving social problems within education , Econ dev , and public health

However , social good isn’t pleasing my soul neither is the income . I’ve switched jobs to healthcare where I’m impacting people’s physical and mental health . Still no passion / drive

I feel lost / bored :(
