I’ve noticed a lot of retail jobs are seasonal contracts lately. Do many of those actually turn into permanent roles?

I truly hope so! There are so many dedicated folks in this industry, I hope they can offer something more than seasonal work for those who actually want to work in the industry

Me too, it’s a shame for some people!

Depends on the location, timing, and people dynamic. For example, I need year round people currently, but am only getting college kids who want to work for 3 weeks this summer. I think timing is big! If you’re looking for non seasonal, I’d start looking in August when everyone is losing seasonal.

Some people can’t afford to stop job searching because of seasonal though. Just filter them out I guess!

Hi, anyone ever try using a ovulation test as a positive result for pregnancy test? I had an LH surge couple of weeks back and for the past few days my breasts are tender and I am having some taste aversions like yesterday yoghurt tasted like mud. Since my cycle is irregular I took another ovulation test today morning and it came back positive. This is my first time going through this and I am confused as to what is going on. Can I take a pregnancy test middle of the day?

Do tech companies in Canada give out RSUs or equivalent?

I was Listening to a podcast today about people in US tech getting rich from 50k to 100k of annual RSUs in the US that vest over 3 to 5 years then making millions when the company exits.

Wondering if there are similar opportunities in Canada or is it less common to receive a decent amount of equity here?

I’m a 9th year in a mostly litigation-based practice group at a one-tier partnership firm. My group’s billable hours have been low the last few years, so making partner will be nearly impossible, and a counsel position is not viable long-term in my group. What’s the best option here if partnership is the ultimate goal? Try to get a NEP/counsel position at another firm, which is likely difficult in my market, or offer to take a class cut by a few years?
