Ppl who got married in COVID with itty bitty or zoom ceremonies — how did you make it feel... “big” enough? Not in attendees or $ spent, but life significance. (Cont’d)

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?

I am moving to Bangalore the next weekend, by 17th July. Seems there is a slight increase in covid cases, would it be better to come now or should I ask my manager to come to office after some weeks once everything seems fine?

Anyone else want to see the Zoom servers utilization superimposed on top of the COVID infection rate? Assuming they are eerily similar.

I have a job offer in Australia and the company is offering to apply for a TSS visa for me. But they can't give me any idea on timeline. I've heard anything from a month to 9 months. Has anyone here gone through this and knows how long it would take during Covid times?

I tutor ESL after school and recently switched over to Zoom. Students are stating that they are unable to annotate. I’ve read that this is common for Chromebook users. Does anyone know of a way to bypass this and/or any video/picture tutorials? Otherwise, it looks like we’ll just have to add an additional open tab with a google share doc. Many thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide.

So...
What to do? What to do?

Came back to school in August with a cruise ship still sitting on my stage. We walked away from Anything Goes the day after the sitzprobe because of the quarantine. Still taking the wind out of my sails.

We are here now, but not able to stage shows. Logic says, "Do a radio show!" Just not sure I want to subject the kids to the emptiness of that performance style given the Zoom life they've been living. The production of it could be fun though.

Thoughts?

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 .

Coronavirus and health: has your alcohol consumption gone up during the pandemic? This pandemic had encouraged me to quit for good now.

I feel like working from home has been the death of my dating life. I used to at least go on 4 dates a month, and I was casually seeing a guy for a while. Post covid, I love my work-life balance but I'm never out. I can't meet people sitting at my desk, and I have no local coworkers to pull me out of the house for happy hour.

Has anyone seen any unique places to find UX portfolios or post jobs other than the usual suspects?
Some UX Slack channels were doing well for a while but I definitely don’t see as much traction there. Meetups obviously came and went. Even the portfolio sites like Dribbble and Behance don’t seem that same.

How’s everyone feeling about the rising coronavirus cases?

Sick of people saying don't wear a mask. Wear a mask people, if you have one. The CDC says only wear them when you are sick. But isn't that the tricky part of Covid19? That you can be asymptomatic?

Absolutely. Businesses can be ethical by treating people the way they’d want to be treated. 3 ways Airbnb can do this: Aggressively fight fraudulent listers, let Airbnb members control their data (allow data requests/permissioning/deletion from any state or country), and oh - make it easy for people to get their money back if their travel was affected by covid-19. How not to be ethical: marketing ethics vs living them.

Any news from anyone, especially during covid?

Does your company have a Asian professional group? Since we are still in covid mode. What are you doing for the professional development classes / events. So we have done, Ask the recruiter, fireside chats w executive mgmt, events w Naaap and ascend. With everyone still working from home ppl are not engaged and it is harder for networking.
Let me know what other thing ppl are doing to drive engagement ?

Hi folks! If I quit this week, will I still get my bonus? (My LWD will be around September 26-27)

Which CC is better for sign-up bonus - Citi Premier 80K points or Chase Aer Lingus/Iberia 100K Avios points?

I churn somewhat regularly and am under 5/24 by 1. I think Citi's points are more valuable but maybe I should knock out another Chase card before I'm at 5/24 again, even though Avios isn't as versatile?

I feel like such a failure. I know about imposter syndrome and I know everyone feels like a failure. But I suspect in my case I truly am. I feel like I am just not good enough. I have tried to do...

A colleague told me today that Google separates Product Manager and Product Owner as two separate roles. I believe that one PM role is preferred in the industry and most modern software companies, especially FAANG companies, only have PMs. Just curious what others have experienced and if I'm correct in my assumption.

Is it possible to transition from antitrust litigation to general litigation?

What is 2nd round for In an Interview ? What do they ask ?

If an otherwise good interview the interviewer says: “I think you have great experience that will help you wherever you go”. Should I be reading into this?

How high does L6 range typically go for Sr Program Manager roles? I am currently at ~250k TC and the position they were interviewing me for hand a max range of 200k TC. Is >300k TC possible?

This might sound silly but if the job is still posted after you've done your loop, is that an indication the team is still looking? It's day 2 after my loop so excuse my anxiety.

Hey everyone! I have a 30 minute interview with a Amazon recruiter on Monday for a Technical Recruiter position. Does anyone know what I should expect?

I’m relocating to the Charlotte area soon and looking for a new leadership role (hybrid/remote/onsite). I have over 12 years of experience in corporate management around Supply Chain, Asset Protection, and Project Management. Thank you for your recommendations and referrals in advance 😊

Let's commiserate.

What's the worst agency team and why?

Why, can someone tell me why, it is so hard to find a home with an exterior-venting range hood?! Like we’re just out here boiling chicken and pasta or what?! They don’t make homes for people that cook??

Christmas gift ideas for a mentor (female, over 50) within $50? Thanks in advance.

I have a phone screen with American Express. Does anyone know how many days of PTO is allotted?

Do you think if a person moves to Texas from the west coast or New York, then that person is being admired to by Texans, because everything is so much more upscale, trendy and classy there?

Looking for a home office chair…I need something really ergonomic/comfortable but given the visibility of the office in the house the wife wants something stylish. She keeps calling all my ideas ‘gamer chairs’ even though they’re definitely not. Anyone have any chairs they really like that may be worth looking at? I feel like I’ve looked everywhere (Steelcase, Herman Miller, humanscale, Haworth, xchair, etc).

For all of the negativity out there I thought it would be nice to see some of the amazing things happening around us: (I’m in the US so that’s where my examples are from.)

Anyone here make a huge career change in their late 20s or 30s? Thinking of making one and wanted to hear your stories.

I want to work for The Walt Disney Company corporate offices. Anywhere. I don't care where there's an office. I want to work for that company. I don't know how to drive in rain or snow, but if they have an office in places that snow, I WILL MAKE THE SACRIFICE 🤣

But I still have questions though 🤔 -

What is the culture like?
What are the work hours?
Does Disney pay for relocation for new hires like some of the FAANG companies do?

I find it disturbing that people all of a sudden think remote work = 1/2 work 1/2 care for children

Spent the pandemic working on myself, got sober, focused on working out, left the music industry and started a career where I can make money and have a steady work schedule. Maybe this isn’t everyone’s version of “growing up” but that’s what this was for me. Now that I’m vaxed and seeing my friends, it’s clear we have little left in common, and honestly a lot of the things they do straight up embarrasses me. I don’t want to lose these long term friends. Has anyone else been in this situation?

What social media platforms are you using? General age would be helpful too.

So absolutely over these "looking for advice!" Fishbowl posts where people just want to hear their own opinions repeated back and nothing else.

When will this be over?

Most staff/sr assoc would make 80% of salary for the next 4 months if fired & yet firms are considering pay cuts.

Like at this point just fire me idk what kool aid some of you are drinking

Someone works at or with PwC Experience Center?

I’m struggling to believe the first case of this only made it here in late Jan with how open our borders are with China. It’d be interesting to test the whole US pop and see just how many of us had it

💡 Did you know: a pro se litigant has a fool for a client.

All clients need to explain conference call etiquette when WFH to their employees. So far I’ve heard people washing dishes, talking to their spouse and kids, making lunch, and playing with pets...
