Not legal-related but: thoughts on A Jazzman’s Blues? I loved it. Been a while since a movie has stayed on my mind long after it ended, like this one has. Shocking Tyler Perry wrote it. “Paper Airplanes” is a hauntingly beautiful song.

Weekends - what are the best sources / instas / emails that list cool, unique, events or things to do in NYC before they sell out...! Less like Time Out, more like Skint, but price isn’t critical.

Someone came in and ordered 60 bacon double cheeseburgers… my crew thought I was kidding. 😅

Favorite halal restaurant in Boston? Help a Muslim brother out 😅

What are your favorite restaurants/activities that are a quick drive from the city?

I have taken couple of days off to relax and I am planning to spend most of my time making my island prettier 🤣 It feels so good to play AC on a Monday morning!

Time to party, bring in the booze, because we already got the peanuts.

Where are my fellow less-advanced islanders? I feel like I play a lot (~1hr/day) but wow reading what everyone else is doing I realize I’m slow in comparison!

Best time to consume protein powder/shake ?

So I feel like I want to keep eating something all day. Even though I'm full and not really hungry. It's the thing of chewing I guess. What to do to combat this?

Curious to know has anyone stumbled upon a bar(cocktails, drinks) that has also nailed social accounts so good so that besides their bar offerings people also cant wait to consume their content?

Could anybody help with a reference for Siemens pls

In 0-10 scale, How would you rate NIQ in terms WLB?

Looking to move to SG from US for personal reasons. Does anyone have a headhunter that they’d recommend? Experience in consulting and HF. Thanks

Currently working with DUSI as RFA Manager. Got an opportunity for SM at Pwc sdc. Don't know much about the SDC. Can anyone pls help?

Any insights to why the price is dropping now??

Do tech companies like FAANG hire strategy consultants? Starting at an MBB/T2 next year and curious if tech companies leverage consultants as much as other industries. Part of me wonders if they are in such high growth right now that consultants can’t add as much value, thus maybe a smaller presence. Thoughts?

Hi everyone, a question to the tech industry at large.

Why are people so hesitant to hire disabled candidates?

I am a visually impaired practitioner in South Africa, with 7 years of experience, and as soon as recruiters or business owners hear/read that I'm disabled, the conversation gets awkward and I never hear from them again.

Are there any books or other resources that mid levels/seniors/counsel/partners on here have found helpful for the project management / managing junior attorney aspects of your job?

I am not finding a lot of stuff written for lawyers specifically , but there is a lot directed at “managers” in business generally that I imagine could be applicable.

Stealth layoffs at CWT confirmed.

What’s your hourly rate for web development and where are you located? If you’re able to share, I’d really appreciate it. My agency is trying to figure out how to strike a balance in quoting website projects. We’re based in New Orleans and are not looking to gather comp set data. We just need some validation.

Hi everyone! Has anyone used Redbubble / society 6 for selling their designs? Do you have a clear preference for one or the other? Thanks in advance! 😁

Hello, Please refer me for any open positions for a tableau developer role. Having overall and relevant experience of 7 years 3 months

Given all the recent buzz about expected large raises around the big 4, I’d like to level set on the average salary for a 4th/5th year female senior manager in federal tax ( credits & methods group) in the Midwest - Chicago/Minneapolis/Detroit market. Anyone willing to share a range if they work in a similar area of tax / similar level? I recognize all groups vary greatly in salary expectations, so looking for input specific to my area. Current expectations set at 140-160k. Reasonable?

Do you feel like turnover has now diminished after this busy season or will it kick up again as we approach the next one?

At this point, I'm wondering if most firms have hired enough people or they are still on the lookout due to shortage.

what is the best way to move in-house from an agency SEO role? are there specific recruiters or strategies to find the roles that anyone has used?

How do you make small talk with people you don’t really have much in common with? Working with a few people in the team and feel like there’s a wall between us I can’t break 😞

Ideas for a night in alone? Feeling Chinese take out to start it right

It takes me time to warm up & connect to new people, esp. in casual settings. Anyone any strategies how to deal with that? I see I am missing out on good and deeper connections.

What do you do to be aware what peers and others outside your circle are up to?

Anyone else struggle with lots of team events/dinners during the week? I love my team but need me time at night to be my best self. 1 night out is my max. Thoughts on explaining it to team?

34 and noticing that all my friends are friends of convenience - ppl from work, friends of friends, or ppl I’ve met randomly. How do I cultivate more deliberate friendships based on shared interests?

My SO will put me on the spot sometimes (he is an extrovert) and say just talk to me (it will just be us two). He generally talks a lot and me so much. The second he says that my mind goes blank and for the life of me I can't remember anything to talk about. It's like stage fright. Is this normal? Anyone else experience this?

Hello fellow introverts! How is 2022 treating you all so far? I am eagerly seeking for an exit out of consulting :)

Does anyone else feel like once you’re known as the quiet person, it’s hard to change your clients’ or teams’ minds? How do you start off a new project not being the quiet one?

Ways to overcome fear of public speaking? At times I stutter when I introduce myself and am sick of it

I have a love-hate relationship with DU.

A few extravert friends texted me over the weekend, panicking about WFH mandates and being socially isolated. I do not share their pain! Nice of them to care, though ❤️

Good jobs for introverts? So over consulting.

Does anyone else have “email social anxiety”? Not with writing emails that have to do with content/work I did, but when I’m “just checking in” and doing vaguely unsaid social things I’ve never understood well.
I feel super awkward and read too into things, it takes me 30+ min for a simple friendly email to a manager or above and I get worked up about it.

How do I get more involved in team room conversations? Any practical tips? I have good comebacks in my head just have trouble voicing them

Mother and sister are getting cabin fever. Father is being a bit irrational. I'm just going with whatever keeps them calm so I can retreat back to my room and be an introvert in peace. Anyone else?
