Hi Folks,

Does as anybody help on how much time CitusTech takes to announce results after an interview of an experienced candidate??

Not exactly excel related, but any recommendations for learning the basics of SAP, navigating the system, and how to run reports from it?

Newbie 401k question: if I put in the yearly max of 19500 in my 401k…does the employer contribution go on to of that? 2) if I move jobs does my old 401k amount have to be moved over?

My sister died one month ago and I’ve been really struggling both at work and personally. My work was very supportive at me taking time off, but I’m having difficulty adjusting back. I just feel so empty and sad all the time and I feel like I have to fake being professional and together. Does anyone have any advice about losing a loved one? She was my only sister, so I feel that I need to be strong and take care of my parents.

Hello!! I’m starting a new job on February 1st and will also be going through the remote onboarding. I finally got the official “pass” from my background check yesterday. My biggest issue was just dealing with the company giving the check. They kept asking for the same info several times which was frustrating. So glad that process is over!!

What do you put on internal time when you are not booked? (You are watching YouTube videos or shopping online)

Yesterday I and my friends were discussing office matters and there was a question. I thought i will ask it here as I felt it is a matter of an individual's experience.
The question is my friend has a scenario. Which is in his current company the joining date was on 2nd August 2019 but the previous organisation's lwd was 5th of August 2019. Will this overlap cause problem during the next switch?
If yes, how can he overcome this?

Anyone have wayfair coupon codes? I get their postcards but hastily placed in trash and now have to buy some new furnitire.

Hi, I'm an Asian student studying advertising. What has your experience been like as an Asian working in advertising agencies?

I’m proud of you everyone!!

I’ve been searching for a bilingual Chinese writer for some time now to partner with. At this point it feels like finding a unicorn. Anyone here worked with a conceptual writer not a translator?

Whatttt'sssss good my dooooods

I've been seeing a lot of ADCOLOR posts on linkedin, and some of the people who are liking and reposting it are some of the same people who were blatantly racist and rude to me when I worked with them. I wish there was something I could say/do about it, but it's literally making my blood boil seeing them like posts about "uplifting" and "supporting" BIPOC, only because I know that once they get off their screens and they're the meanest people

Can we talk about the rise of hate crimes in AAPI community? My heart is heavy as we celebrate Lunar New Year this year.

We all heard about black history month. Will a yellow history month be cool or offensive?

New CEO/CCO is Asian. Feeling empowered

Honestly don’t think advertising is good for Asians - I’ve met very few if any especially in strategy.

Hi everyone! New to Fishbowl and working remotely in Portland area, if anyone wants to connect!

Any male Asians , feel that they have been passed up for a role because they are Asian ? Feels like the Asian man dating effect spills over into corporate culture . Or am I alone n over thinking it?

Hello from Portlandia- I'm new to the bowl + just wanted to connect ;)

I just became co-chair of our the Asian group at our holding company. Need your help with ideas to help improve our program I was thinking mentorship, events and speakers focused on industry topics. If you had an Asian focused group in D&I, what would you be interested in?

Are our minds, as asians, just wired differently?

When your team director calls you out for liking crazy rich Asians, and says, “I didn’t call on you because you’re Asian....” in front of my entire team of 70 people.
