Lottie is really a recruiter on LinkedIn 🙃

15% hike (including stock options) as a consultant for a tech company or Bain&Co at a similar salary?

Tech is an F500 but not a FAANG. The actual hike is around 4% but stocks add a little more. Of course, stocks are just a way to tie me down.

Are high end safaris worth it in migration season? I'm looking for my honeymoon and they look amazing, but really really expensive ($2k/night). Two nights there and that's the cost of a normal trip!

I realize that worth is a relative term. For context, we love seeing wild animals and money is not tight

Talked to a female fellow associate today about the stresses of this job. This woman apparently sleeps on average 3 hours per day and works -unbilled- after hours to show up prepared and impressive for the next day’s work.

Some of her quotes:

"Why not dedicate yourself to your career while you’re young and energetic"

"My dad used to wake me up at 4AM through junior high and high school and make me run on the treadmill so I could get better at soccer. Stop complaining about no sleep".

Hi all! I recently received an internship offer doing data science/statistics with the Peace Corps. I’m extremely interested in the applications of data science and statistics within the public policy and research sects and this would be a good professional opportunity for me. However, I am quite aware of how problematic the Peace Corps is (i.e. white saviorism). Is it better to gain professional experience in a place I don’t support or reject the offer? I’ve struggled with landing other offers.

Any good recommendations on cheap places to park cars at monthly rates? Do people keep them in the city or over in Jersey or LI?

Can some🐠 here like / comment on my post so I can DM? Thank you!!!

Junior Dev presents an issue they’re having. I hint to the fact that it may be framework related (this is a very simple fix). The questions they are asking seem out of context, so I ask if they have done any framework related research generally, as our entire application is built on top of this. They answered no, they have been here for months, and it’s not like this wasn’t in the job description. Am I missing something here? Trying to be helpful but stuff like this is frustrating.

Hey fishes,

I have 5 year experience in .Net stack, just curious which will be better to learn reactjs or vuejs for career growth and future ?

Need suggestion.

My offer letter does not mention the number of paid-time off. How many days a year does a senior consultant get?

Republicans annoy me because Biden is fumbling the bag right now and wrecking everything and republicans decide that RIGHT NOW is the time to die on the hill of a social issue. We have a litany of economic and energy and strategic issues and they decide to just randomly do this for no reason

Hey, I'm currently a QA analyst with 5 YOE. I want to move into a QA automation role. I'm currently taking a python course. Is there anything else that could be helpful for me as I try to transition?

Would spending a couple years in corporate strategy dilute having a T2/MBB on your resume, in terms of MBA chances?

So... warzone 👀?

Recs for gaming chairs? I would use it for work too (long hours working). Thanks!

Just got a Nintendo Switch and it’s a godsend as a frequent traveler. Can play console quality games on the plane and plug in to the TV easy at the hotel Only problem is that it has no games...

Anyone else tuned into RLCS today! Let's go NRG!!!

I prefer RTS turn based games, I like the slow pace and getting up, getting a drink, coming back, do a turn, etc.. Thinking about buying Total War Atilla

Anyone know any firm that does much work in the gaming space? Seems like a really interesting industry to have projects in.

I just want to start a twitch stream and make some side money sitting on my butt playing games.

Mass effect or Halo? Which one to play first?

Another Week Another Hot Take. Handheld games should be different from home console games. I miss playing handheld games that focused on playing with strangers on the streets. Pokemon and racing games were peak when you could walk outside and interact with random over a game.

So Dragonflight, anyone took days off?

Any recommendations for racing sim (F1 22) rig setup for beginners? I’ll be building mine for PS5 (Rig, wheel, pedals, shifter, anything else?)

Bought Oculus go. Every driving/running/flying game I played, I got motion sickness.
