I've been with my agency for over 3+ years. This is the first agency I'm at and I've been without a mentor or an exact career path this whole time. It's been a lot of waiting and promises that things will get better. I've been approached by another agency recently by my previous manager, but working with that person is difficult. Old manager is putting lots on pressure to join them. My gut says no, but I don't see my current agency building my career paths anytime soon.

Start putting feelers out for something new separate from this opportunity. If you’re having doubts about it already, make a better option for yourself elsewhere. You’re worth it.. don’t settle for something different if there are already red flags.

I would recommend listening to your gut. If your previous manager was difficult to work with and has the bad sense to put pressure on you.... their care is self serving and not focused on your happiness. Stay where you are, buy yourself time to find a good opportunity vs. jumping into a potentially ill fitting situation. Good luck!

Some people seem to think that folks will never be comfortable in an office setting again, which if true, means the same people will never be comfortable at a sporting event, museum, concert, etc. I understand that concern at the moment. But, if a vaccine becomes available, how many of you here will be comfortable with a return to “normal” life? Life eventually went back to normal after the Spanish Flu pandemic. Is it foolish to assume that will be the case here?

Hi folks,

Need an advice from you guys. I joined TCS Kolkata as a BPS employee in 2014 and currently I'm in a Finance project working as a Senior Analyst. I have always wanted to be a developer so recently I acquired the knowledge of HTML, CSS, Javascript and Angular. So can I apply for the same in other companies? Or they only want freshers in this segment? As my overall experience is 7+ years but will I be treated as a fresher if I apply for the same?

Hi there! I’ve been working as designer in Toronto for the past 14 years, mostly for marketing/design agencies.

3rd job rejection after I thought it went really well. I had really great interviews & good feedback on my portfolio. When I ask why I didn’t get the position the answer I keep getting is “decided to go with someone with more experience”. Which is so frustrating, bc it’s just not as constructive as I’d like. Feels like I’ll never land a new job 😞. With that said, this defeated spirit could use some positivity. Share something that makes you smile! (A story, pet, drawing, memory, joke, etc)
