The anti-Semitic post (or at least the one hating Sabbath observers). Can’t link it since it got removed. Hysteria ensued.

like

Someone basically painted it as a weekly PTO / vacation that sabbath observers get, which non-Sabbath observers should also get. Shifts the burden to everyone else and is unfair. OP clearly didn’t know anything about what it really means and what you all deal with.

Am an Engineer I currently with 2 YOE
after graduate from two different jobs.
Currently getting Master of Science in
Project Management and looking to
get the PM certificate after
graduation. Any advice/suggestions
on what kind of jobs will most likely fit
me? I wanted to get this Master mainly
for career advancement and hopefully
get into some sort of manager/
director roles eventually. Getting this
master also because I have no prior
related experience so this can be
good start for PM roles.

All my six-figure salary consultant friends are ranting about how poor they feel right now because their IRAs/portfolios are down. Think the people in this industry need to take time to volunteer or engage with some tougher parts of town and understand that by virtue of even having investment accounts, that they’re more financially safe than at least 50% of America. Sad to see

Anyone else just sitting around waiting for the ax to drop? I'm a soon to be 2nd year corporate associate who has seen work completely dry up. My utilization held pretty steady around 50% immediately after shutdown, but August was below 15 billables with no appreciable work in the pipeline. Aside from letting people know I'm available and doing pro-bono/CLE, it's starting to feel like a serious "covidcation" leading to termination.

Any leads for good contract doc review attorneys/companies?

I don't know who needs to hear this, but I have a few former classmates and colleagues sweating over lateral interviews. Take a deep breath and relax.

First, doing these interviews does not define you as a person.

Second, take it one day at a time; if they are moving forward, they see something in you.

Third, remember that the people interviewing you are human beings. Connect with them, be personable.

Is it okay that I’ve been a slow junior as we’re hours away from closing? I’m trying to be proactive and available to cross things off the list but I’m SLOW: takes me long enough that they do it themselves (even though this wasn’t an issue earlier in the deal) and even on quick tasks or emails, they respond to it before I can click send. There’s also so much about closing that I don’t understand and I feel like I’m bothering the higher-ups on the team whenever I ask. *end anxiety post*
