Recently moved to the US on a TN and am trying to navigate the SSN application. Do I need one to get paid? Also do I need to be here for a certain amount of time before applying? Getting some mixed messages online and am having a hard time getting ahold of anyone by phone.

I am looking for an early exit (less than 2 YOE) and I have no idea how to modify my college resume to a consultant resume. Can a Good Samaritan offer tips ? Or share an anonymised sample ?🙏🏼🙏🏼

I am a senior at a top 50 regional firm and have been here for a year. Prior to this was 2 years at a smaller firm. I am interviewing in industry and have not landed a gig yet. I am wondering if it is because industry folks are not familiar with my firm. I am thinking about making a switch to a top 10 PA firm and sticking it out until manager and then reevaluating a move to industry. If my ultimate goal is to move to industry, would you suggest moving to a larger PA firm for brand recognition?

Has anyone bought/ done the HRCI Certificate in Diversity and Inclusion in HR Management? I already have my PHR, but I’m looking to gain more knowledge/skills and beef up my resume. Is it worth doing? The course is $239 and you get 12 Recert credits with it.

Hello everyone,

I wanted to know how long does Course5i take to release an offer, I cleared all rounds last friday and was going to get an offer from HR early this week (by Monday evening or Tuesday) but didn’t get any offer till now.

I loved the role and I am still excited to join the organisation so mailed a follow up to the HR yesterday but did not get any response till now. I do not want to follow up for the next 1-2 days since I feel it would be too pushy from my end.

Would any biglaw recruiters/HR be willing to give advice on a resume/CV? Undergrad senior looking for an entry paralegal role at an NYC biglaw firm, I would really appreciate any insight. Thanks!

on the way to an interview this morning eating a sandwich. I walked past a homeless man who had a stray cat perched on his lap. He asked for a bite of sandwich to feed them both as they hadn’t eaten in days. I gave the whole sandwich over and headed off to the interview. As I got to the interview room there was a large executive chair facing away from me. The chair turned and on top was a mirror. When looking in the mirror I could see the cat. I am the cat. Truly inspirational when you work hard

I need some advice. I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Healthcare Administration with 20 plus years working in different Healthcare roles. I am working as a PBM Claim Specialist.

Any resume writer referrals? I’m trying to make the jump into project management. I have 13YOE managing cross-departmental projects and people, and I’d like to shed the general EA work of calendars/travel/expenses. But recruiters just see my most recent role is EA and that’s all they want to talk to me about. I’m hoping a better written resume will help target algorithms to get my resume viewed for other roles.

Is it worth it to go back to school for a better track to a FAANG company? The division I’m currently in seems like there are no good opportunities, and I have the funds available to finish my undergraduate full time (Canada). I applied to Amazon before for a highly senior position and made it to final interview so I think I would have a better chance for a new grad type role.

I’m looking for a classic Rolex, so thinking of a DJ or OP (lighter dial so white/silver). I have an Omega AT (navy dial) and second guessing since the styling looks very similar. Any thoughts?

I have 10 years of experience. Mostly in Unix, C++ and Visual C++ and MS SQL. I developed interest in cloud computing as like many others and was able to clear AWS Cloud Practitioner, AWS Solution Architect Associate and Professional, AWS Security. Along with these I was able to clear 8 Azure certifications as well: 3 fundamentals, Azure Security, Azure Developer, Azure DevOps and Azure Architect.
Now my main question, can I try to switch on Cloud Architect or some other similar cloud roles?

10 years sales experience selling eyewear to eye doctors. If I were to transition to tech would I have to start as a BDM? I think that would be a pay cut for me. Thanks

Hi all- My SO is currently at a Big4 & was initially preparing for S&O roles at GCP but given the high number of ex MBB consultants hired, they believe its just more competition to get the offer & to eventually get promoted over time.

Instead, they have decided to pursue program manager or cloud consultant roles, which they feel might have a lower barrier to entry from an assessment standpoint. Not sure if the bowl agrees but would like to get your thoughts, thanks!

Canada PR vs USA H1B visa. I am on H1B in USA with a good job and I have a Canada PR which I thought of using to get more stability in life but as I am running out of time on Canada PR it’s making me anxious if I should stay in the USA or move to Canada. Can someone share their experience if faced the similar issue?

“have fun with this brief” they say before telling you the client is pretty conservative and needs to have safer options.

i know we don’t always work on stuff we’re thrilled about but i’ve never dreaded reviews for a client before until now

When you're on a date and you say what you do...what are the reactions?

No finesse in this McGregor / Merryweather fight promo ... this is the Trump-dashian sht show of premier fighting events. Class and taste have taken a major hit in the age of the interwebs.

Is it weird to connect with a client on LinkedIn? 🤔

How long can you go without having anything to do before you get laid off?

Serious post.. I've been feeling really depressed lately but am apprehensive of going to a psychiatrist because I would prefer to stay off meds. Have any of you battled depression without medicating?

Is anyone expecting agency layoffs at the moment?

I just got into reading books, any suggestions to start with? Which could help to increase media/marketing knowledge.

So at 72andSunny they told us we weren't making ads but rather "art for commerce". It's a nice thought ... until you buy a ticket to the wrong weekend at Cannes !! 😡 anyone else have this problem?

I said this in a reply to a comment but, Marcel is making Publicis Groupe into a network of freelancers....
