Portland, Oregon? Grew up there. Progressive place but v v white. Good, nice people there though. Some are sooo tone deaf but tbh we need more poc out there to change things up

Quite a few POCs have started to move there over the years. But it's hard to keep them there so the multicultural population doesn't increase, just kind of stays small because of the "turnover".

Hello, what questions are usually asked in a tableau developer interview?

KPMG I cleared all the rounds of my interview with KPMG and was asked to provide necessary documents and fill a CAF form a week back and had a HR discussion too. I have requested for about 3Lakhs additional fixed pay since my current CTC has increased and HR said she will get back on this. It's been a week and haven't heard back on the offer letter. How long do you think I should wait. Please wait.

Hi everyone! Anyone has given Data Analyst interview in Walmart? What’s the interview process and skill expectations?

I'm doing everything in my power to not quit without another job lined up, and every interview falls through. I'm overwhelmed by my clients, I've had enough corporate koolaid for a lifetime, I could not care less about what I do, and I've started exhibiting destructive behaviors at work but keep getting told I'm doing great.

If I'm going to be stuck here, clearly my attitude is the main problem. How have you learned to find joy in your job? What makes you feel like you matter here? Why stay?

How do you get out of the burnout cycle? I’ve felt overwhelmed for a while and now I’m in the “can’t function at all” stage.
