Life can throw random ball curves when we are trying to progress and lately I just been hearing “If it’s meant to be then it will be” and that’s been putting me at ease lately as a reminder.

Have you been told anything lately that’s been helping you get through Life Adversities?

Hi,
If Sign-on/Joining bonus is mentioned and the timeframe is such that “we will pay you after reasonable period of time”.
Anyone having idea when can we receive such bonus ?
I am assuming it would be 3 months after joining.
Thanks

Is it a sign I should change careers if I've spent 6 years in the same position with no growth and can't seem to find another similar position?

I really struggled with depression during my PhD program. Did anyone else experience this and how did you minimize the damage?

What’s the typically S&O FAANG salary? Associate 3-4YOE

Hi I am new manager and I am happy to find this group. Recently I hire new person and he looks totally weird. He is asking how many meetings does he need to attend everyday. Or he has to finish his training during a week but he postpone everything to weekend. Because he is from another city I couldn’t push him to be at the office, but I feel like he has side job and he didn’t tell us. I am not sure how I need to manage this situation. They should report if they have second job.

Any salaried workers figure up their *actual* hourly rate? Oooof what a mistake that was🥴

New to Toronto, moved to the west end of town/ just past - in Etobicoke. I celebrate my 40th a few days after NYE/NYD - would love some recommendations on moderately priced but nice ambiance restaurants for myself + husband, and my extended family. Everyone is scattered throughout (Hamilton, Barrie, Lyle, Newmarket, North York). Don’t want anything too fancy but don’t really know where or what is good and not downtown.


Any recommendations? (Open to GTA of course).

How’s the culture at PayPal? Specifically in infosec

I have an idea for a live session. What if we have people recommend their favorite brands. We purchase them and then discuss? It could be like a book club but for liquor. At the close of each session we can select the next top 3 recommendations and so on and so forth? 🥃

My gf and I are moving in together and she is looking to sublet her room (Master bedroom in a corner unit 3B2B) in Waterline Square from late May through mid August. Any one interested?

Any recommendations for industries and roles where you are required to travel for periods of time across USA or internationally? For example, I worked at a trade show company (before CoVID event industry layoffs) and loved the balance of office & show travel. I have a bachelors in marketing but have mostly field sales/sponsorship/event coordination experience as well as wine/spirits industry experience (3yrs). Google search results “travel blog” or teach English are not helpful. Thank you :)

Anyone have case prep advice? I’ve gotten pretty good at standard industry and case topics (profitability/ market entry) but struggling on niche industry and problem topics

If you were new to the industry (me) what questions would you ask senior management and senior associates if you got the chance? I feel like all my questions are super basic and stupid.

To you, what makes a good manager? What makes a bad manager?

Good Morning!

In our line of business, do you think it’s more about who you know than what you know or a combination?

I want to apply at Big 4 as an Senior Accountant, is it really very secure position? or is it a bad time to start a new job?

It’s Hump Day & Time is flying 🤯 What are some of things you do or say to yourself to keep you motivated to just keep going?

I’ll start… Waking up in gratitude for the simple things I appreciate in life because life is short and I’ve joined some hip hop dance classes recently to switch up the ways I workout which have been fun

Why did y'all choose to be in finance? I asked myself this question and honestly can't come to a viable conclusion that justifies my WLB and deteriorating mental health

Why do they call it a "market accident." Just be honest about the impending crash and don't mince words. Things are going to be a disaster either way.

Good Morning Friends! It’s 2 days before Thanksgiving 🦃 y’all started cooking already?

Happy Monday Friends! Mental check in: How we feeling after the weekend?

Hiii Friends… this question is for myself so Does any one know If it’s challenging to get on with Deloitte in one of their consultant investment management roles? I would love to get into consulting and wondering if it’s out of my league

Good Morning Friends!

Time is just going and I did not realize Christmas 🎄 is literally next weekend and I haven’t put up my tree. Y’all think it’s too late? 🤦🏽‍♀️🫠

Anyone feel as if it’s hard to stay with a company when you’re the only one of color? (&young) I’ve work for 3 companies in past 5 years and have yet to make meaningful colleague relationships. I just do not relate to the conversation and just find it hard to picture myself being a long-term employee. I’ve had better relationships when working at wal-mart when I was in college. I feel it takes away some of the joy of having to go to work.

Do y'all check the box on applications where it asks if you're Black or African American? I didn't and I swear I went to this interview today and I could tell the woman didn't think I was Black before she met me lmao. Eyebrows hit her hairline but I'll give it to her she kept it professional. Do you think we're less likely to get the position if we check the box? Or more likely with all these new "diversity initiatives"?

Are there side jobs that internal auditors can do to make some extra money? Are we allowed to do contract work if we are full time employees?

Good Morning Friends!

How intense is Year End for you? If stressful, how do you maintain your stress levels?

Hi, I’m fairly new to corporate America with only several years of experience in financial services. I’m a Black female having difficulty navigating a white, male dominated field. Can someone share advice on navigating the office politics while being a POC? My question is specifically about asking tough questions to senior management. Is there specific “etiquette” to follow?
