My colleague put a dartboard 🎯on their desk and plays it during work hours.
At first it was funny, now it’s a full-on thwack-thwack-thwack soundtrack to my day.
Would you like to say something, or would you just let it be their stress relief?

Find a way to coexist. Dartboard, yes. At desk nonstop during the day, probably less appropriate. Help them and your department leadership find a place where it can still be used but not detract from others around them.

Yeah, I think this could work! I need to have that conversation. Have you ever had to go through anything similar in the past?

If I do good work, am well liked, and don't lateral or leave myself, what sort of things might cause me to be shown the door? If the reason is partnership, when do I/those around me start truly deciding whether or not I'm partner track?

Thanks!

I was considering the Makita ($585) or Dewalt ($790) setups since those are my normal go-to brands, but couldn’t stomach the cost.

Highly recommend it!

Hi All, I am currently a Data Analyst with 1 year of experience and pursuing a masters in Computer Science (expected to graduate 5/2023). I am looking to transition into an entry Data Scientist role (preferably remote or Philadelphia, PA). Can someone refer me or let me know who is hiring?

I can provide my resume if needed.

Hi all,
I graduated during Covid with a double major in business administration and business management with a minor in marketing and magically ended up in sales because I needed a job. I’m about to take a data analytics course to make an attempt to break into that field. I’m currently looking for a mentor to help guide me during this time. Also, if anyone is willing to look over my resume and give me tips on how to make it more presentable for recruiters in DA that would be very helpful. Thanks

Appreciate the input in advance.
