My biggest fear happened. Today during a Zoom meeting, I triple checked I'm on mute and off camera, but it turned out that my laptop froze, and my teammate DM'd me. They can hear me watching World Cup.

I’m interviewing for BCG and had a principal reach out to me for a zoom chat. Is this normal for principals to reach out or is this a positive sign?

At what point do you disconnect from Slack? Do you feel guilty if you take the night off completely?

Heads up. The Bar just emailed out invitations for two free online CLEs in the first week of may. I've been doing these Zoom courses as they are offered and it's going to significantly reduce my end of the year stress.

Mac or HP or Dell: I prefer Mac notebooks. However it seems there might be limitations with the use of Skype or other applications based on materials I have seen. What do you all recommend is the best laptop for working at Deloitte?

The short: Would anyone be up for starting regular virtual co-working sessions? I’m thinking 2-3 rounds of [5 mins to set intentions : 45 mins of work : 10 min break]. The long: One technique I’ve found to stay focused is “body doubling,” i.e., having another person present while you’re working. I’ve had some success replicating this over Zoom/Google Meet. Everyone works on their own thing and stays muted during work blocks, but videos stay on. It reminds me of studying in the library vs at home

Hi! Anyone successfully use Zoom or Teams to record interviews that will get spliced with other footage? Any best practices or pitfalls to avoid?

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

Is Integration Engineer position at Zoom worth joining coming from Software Engineer position?

Hi! Can someone recommend a source for learning how do simple, fun music lessons on Zoom? I teach first grade and use music for my transitions. I would also like to play songs for them with my guitar, but am concerned it won’t sound good on zoom (the guitar, not my voice, which is bad, we established that long ago)

So you are interested in collaborating? I have been teaching Avid since 2006-ish. Any suggestions on how to transition to distance learning on Microsoft Teams? How does that look in Avid?

IBM started to drop the mail for join Slack etc. and the mail for laptop request for new hire .

What if I don't join on the last day or deny to join on last day ? Because still need to decide between two offers .

When is it either allowed or seen as OK to start using FTO? I recently started here and while I’m not looking to slack off and take time off, I just want to know how it works. (Plus, I don’t want to not use something that I can or should use.) Elementary stuff, I know. But I’ve freelanced my whole career until now. Thanks

Has anyone gone through the Breeze Airways panel to interview? Can you give me some insight? Is it a panel of several interviewers asking me questions OR several candidates being interviewed at the same time? It's being held on Microsoft teams but they have been very vague about the specifics. @breeze airways

We have motion sensor lights in my office and the sensor is far from my desk. Consequently, if I'm on a long WebEx, the lights go out and it's embarrassing. The building won't change the sensor. Anyone find a solution for this (aside from standing up and moving, which would be very awkward)? I can't rearrange my office.

I’ve worked at places that all have different holiday policies. EA has at minimum a nice 10 day shutdown from Christmas Eve through New Years. It’s great to know that there will be no slack messages or an exploded inbox to come back to while away. I’ve been at other studios that only give you Christmas Eve & Day and New Years Eve & Day and then the rest is up to you to request for PTO and this is obviously the suck.

Wonder what it’s like for you?

Hi All,
I got an offer from a different vendor to join morgan stanley. I leveraged to offer to directly join morgan stanley. Will this cause an issue? Can the vendor complain about me? I have not joined the vendor. I had only given interview with morgan for 2 different profiles.

Does HCL give any joining bonus to immediate joiners?

What is the pay for power bi analyst at infosys and what are the interview questions usually asked ?

Hearing a lot about a recession happening at EOY. I am currently at Dell and have only been there for 7 months amd hate it. Had final interviews with Meta and Amazon this week. Would it be smart to move to either of these companies knowing a recession is coming?

Anyone make an expat move from nyc to Hong Kong?

If so, what package should I ask for?

Any book recommendations on excel modeling for real world business applications?

Situation: got an offer from firm X; highly likely to get a better offer from firm Y but official offer would take a couple of more weeks in best case scenario. However, firm X’s offer validity about to run out. Would you: (1) accept X’s offer now but rescind later if Y converts (2) ask X for additional time to decide (they’re “prestigious” and may not offer additional time...) (3) Play straight, decline X and hope Y converts (4) any other creative ideas ...???

DeWalt vs Milwaukee tools?

Hi all, I have just been made redundant and I’m actively looking for work within the recruitment space. I’m looking for an embedding in-house / in-house remote role. I am based in the UK but I am open to other countries too. If you know any companies actively recruiting, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me on here or on LinkedIn (Favour Adefila)

My current life situation has really brought my self esteem down and this quarantine makes it even worse. How do you lift yourself up when you feel low? I feel like I really want some validation that I’m attractive from someone but have never ever felt the need for it my whole life

I’m a closeted no book reader. I’ve maybe read 5 books over the last 10 years… My teams over the years are always talking about all the books they read and providing recommendations, but luckily people tend to be more interested in sharing what they read rather than listening so I’ve made it this far. I’m worried I’ll be discovered one day

I’m irritated ALL the time and it’s ruining my relationship. What’s wrong with me? lol should I just start smoking weed or get on an anti depressant?

Happy Sunday! Just curious: What’s a relationship dealbreaker for you?

Am I the only one who’s bothered and slightly worried about the EV trend. The imminent death of ICE is kinda sad. I saw a Porsche 964 EV conversion video the other day, fast car sure but no soul 😔🥲

No offense, but I’ve never heard a sea shanty that didn’t go hard as hell

30F here and have no BFF type girl friends. Anyone else?

No desire to work today. Anyone else in the same boat?

Buzz Chat is a mindset

Starting a new job on Monday and can’t wait to update my LinkedIn. Love getting comments to wish me well on my new role. Can’t wait for my old co workers to see and react where I’m going 😈

Hello fam! Hope you’ll are enjoying your Sunday!

I faked my resume I mean my contracting firm did and I didn’t have choice and I got the job. Now my client wants to offer me a full time position. I kind of feel like they trust me with the work I’m doing and also considering my past experiences to offer me a full time and moreover it’s only been 3 months.

I know it’s a little unusual but what do you guys think/suggest me to do in this situation?!

Friday evenings lost their mojo during WFH!

Ruth's Chris is garbage food at exorbitant prices. Like what did I just pay for? 🤡 Lol

Grinder is so much more convenient for hookups. Anything similar for straight men?

How did you get good at golf? How long did it take

Noticing that a lot of women I’ve dated have had physically or emotionally abusive fathers....if I had to guess about 20%?

Is this out of line statistically or am I doing something to attract this? Not complaining btw (except for 1, they’ve all been great and happened to confide this information)

Should you gift your GF who has kids but not with you something for Mother’s Day? 👀 if yes what’s a good gift that’s not over involved ? (Not flowers or chocolates 🙄).

M 🐠 here. I work in finance and my job is so technical and intense I'm attracted to women who are airheady and ditsy

Not sure if this is a good thing

How does one deal with a manager who always thinks negative of people and never has anything nice to say about anyone? When I first met her she was really cool. Promoted me,and then became a completely different person.
