How do you keep pushing? After rejection after rejection I feel like being jobless is the only thing I think about. I feel like giving up, but that's not an option either. How can I beat this? I know this will be easier with a positive attitude but I just can't right now.

What is the most amount of times you have Applied to one specific company? It could be different job titles and different states but how many times have you applied to the same company? Sodexo , levy, compass group, Hyatt Hilton Marriott have Applied to all those 30 or 40 times over the past three years. Talk about insanity. I stopped applying six months ago I’m no longer wasting my time with people like this!

As a relatively new investor (and young - 23), I’m struggling to determine when to sell positions to potentially enter other positions with more room for growth.

I’ve bought solid companies at a low basis and have watched them grow (+30% minimum)...but also would like enter new opportunities that also have large rooms for growth.

For ex: JPM @92 or AAPL @45 (post split)

My EOY review is coming up. Here I plan to lobby for a promotion/raise (been at company for 1.5 yrs). Some backstory: During my hiring process I was told by my now boss and VP they were also going to hire a senior engineer to help me along. They never hired such senior engineer because I have over performed and do more than they thought I could (have been told this in 2 performance reviews). Thus, is it fair to ask for a raise and promotion to Senior engineer?

“Can we make the drizzle a little more luscious?”

My issue is less with the fact that the word “luscious” is pretty binary. The drizzle is either luscious or it isn’t. My issue is the “a little more” part. So, it’s luscious right now. We want it MORE luscious—but definitely not a lot more, just a little. Otherwise it would be TOO luscious. Can’t have that.

Translation: "I know it's not my place to say (and everyone knows it) and we'll really have to work hard to get this done (and everyone knows it). But I want to be on record as being against it before there's any whiff of complication or controversy—and before the client has an opportunity to be for or against anything."

Ah... teamwork.

My boss had a meeting with me 3pm Friday about some new tasks, no deadline given. I’m the only one staffed on this project.

Today, he suddenly comes back to me on a Monday expecting it to be done and ready to go since they’re the ones who are apparently “ready to send it off”.

My messenger also consistently pings ALL weekend. Nothing related to the project though. Ended up muting it to enjoy my time with my family.

… um… boundaries? Deadlines maybe??

Our company bought another and there was a integration in-person meeting last week. Many folks were invited to go. I was not. I lead analytics/reporting team.
Now, my team and I are getting projects stemming from this conference. I was not invited so didn't get to speak on what we can do. Now reporting is needed and data is not available.
First in-person meeting after 2+ years. Would have enjoyed facetime with peers. How do I share my frustrations with my manager who didn't invite me?
