It's 8am and I've already wiped down all the kitchen cabinets with a magic eraser. Now what?

Marriott loyalist here - seems like almost everyone who is salty about the merger were previously SPG folks. True?

Barcelona to Montserrat: should I travel with taxi or train? If taxi, should I get one ahead of time? Any tips? 4 people total so I though taking a car would be cheaper. Driving and bus not an option. Thanks!

Is 3 weeks PTO in industry normal? Not a FANG company. I’d feel more comfortable with 4. 3 seems like I’d burn thru it.

Anyone move to Miami in the last 1-2 years? what’s it like vs where you were before? Do you like it so far? How’s the dating scene if you’re BIPOC?

I did it everyone. Accepted a new job this past week. Salary is 30% higher and if you factor in bonuses between PA and new job, in total it would by like 45% higher than staying at EY. Weird feeling knowing I don’t have a busy season coming up.

Hello fishes,

Can someone please tell how much ctc is decent for a Java full stack developer having 6 yoe and the product companies paying that?

Thanks in advance.

Why do ADs even entertain the possibility of you getting a call for a SS sports watch (for ex: submariner/GMT BLNR) without any purchase history? Stopped into Wempe for the hell of it and the saleswoman talked it up as if it’s even a possibility and whether I would prefer the “green color” lol. Truly don’t understand this when she and I know both know very well that I’ll never be getting a call.

Any other postdocs dealing with the crippling anxiety of disappointing all your mentors/supporters in science by leaving academia? I know it’s my life but….

Do you think it is harder for a doctor or an accountant to get fired?

RSM folks, are you pulling back job postings or continuing to hire?

I work in-house on a media team for a B2B organization and I’m the only person on my team who deeply understands media. Two new hires who I had zero say around hiring have both asked me basic media questions (how programmatic works, media mix and how we work with vendors). My boss has ZERO media experience and is more of a bottle neck than anything else. I’m venting here but I’m wondering if other in-house media folks have experienced this and how do you navigate it?

Work life balance @Nuance Communication ? Is it worth to join ? Please help.

Lateraled to M from a T2 3 months ago, and realize that I don’t actually enjoy consulting anymore (hours + work + hate going into my local office 4 days a week and traveling the other weeks) - is it too soon to look for other opportunities and will companies even consider me since I’ve been here for only a few months?

Hi there,
I’m a bit newer to data science and recently read through a few academic case studies on ethical fairness in ML/modeling. Would love to start a thread to hear some more from data scientist/ML perspective.
The most harmful example I came across was bias in ML for the criminal justice system.

Is anyone currently in a data science/ML position willing to share their thoughts/maybe an example based on experience? Thinking about how to actively prevent this kind of bias in future models

What are your favorite excel macros to make you more efficient at work?

Is anyone else finding it difficult to get a raise this year because of market conditions? I moved from a business analyst role to a management role and didn't get a raise even though I'm taking on significantly more work. The terrible market conditions are what my boss pointed to. Is this happening at other companies also?

Any ideas on books to read? No preference in genre.

We’re at the end of refinancing and my loan officer wants a letter indicating what my federal student loan payments will be after the forbearance is over. My last recalculation happened in 2019, so I gave him that letter but he says it’s too old. The loan verification letter from Fedloan reflects just $0 payments and $0 due, in forbearance until September. Has anyone else run into this and if so, how did you get around it? I could write a letter explaining but not sure what else to do. TIA

Is anyone taking this current situation as an extra push to move out of NYC and live elsewhere? I was just reading an article about how many young families and singles are now moving to other states, not just to the suburbs of the city. Curious how true that may be.

What are the genuine pros & cons of sharing mental health issues at work? I want the honest things being said behind closed doors, not the official party line.

Is anyone familiar with a theory that covid tests are poison? We have a family member that won’t even test because she believes the nasal swap is dangerous and infected with something. She is the only one I’ve heard this theory from and am wondering what she’s talking about.

Just moved out and started shopping for myself and whatnot. If I buy a pack of 3 heads of romaine lettuce in a bag, and inside the bag it’s got small bugs inside, can I return the lettuce?

Just watched “The Spy Who Dumped Me” since it was supposed to be great for people who love “The Heat”, “Mr and Mrs Smith”, and “Spy.” Any similar suggestions for a breezy, believable enough spy movie?

Me: OT would be cool as the only hourly on my team. Extra money wouldn’t hurt.

Manager: Asks me how much OT is required for me to complete project

Me: Ummmmmm I like my 4:30 off time and playing video games soooo…

😂😂😂😂 I get it now

I currently live in NYC and my lease is up in October. I’m thinking about moving my stuff back to my parents (decently close to the city) and finding a studio somewhere with decent weather through January. Any recommendations on short term furnished rentals and any recs on an ideal location? Looking to stay in the US given corona and somewhere where I can run / bike in the colder months.

Just got my second Pfizer dose. Ibuprofen or Tylenol before bed? The person who administered said ibuprofen is good but read from online sources either ibuprofen or Tylenol or good.

Anyone in NY who has UnitedHealthcare and got covid testing and antibody testing via CityMD? Were all expenses covered / free of charge? Thanks!

If you’re not caught up your work and have not been behind for sometime— how would you want your boss to tell you he has higher expectations?

Can you ask for too big of a raise? Is 40% too much if you think that’s what market rates are for people with similar experience?
