Pinterest, agreed. I'm not getting married anytime soon (not engaged and don't intend to for another few years), but I still have a Pinterest to alleviate the pressure of making impulsive decisions when the time comes.

Pinterest. Find common themes of what you like. Straps, silhouettes, color, lace/beading. There are many pictures that show best silhouettes for your body type

I found a little recycled dress boutique near me who gave me advice on best dresses for my size/shape and just let me try on a million- most useful for me

I tackled it by going to a store with big selection and tried on all different silhouettes. I was dead set on a style before I went, but after trying more on, I changed my mind completely. After that, go on Pinterest and search for the few things you liked! Don’t forget to consider venue, weather, and time of day when picking!

What body shape are you? Focus on looking at styles that flatter your figure. Then go into stores and try on a bunch of styles they have.

All of those Pinterest charts don’t describe my body shape. I’m athletically built (broad shoulders, did gymnastics for a decade), but have a bit of a belly now :/ have such a hard time finding things that don’t make me look like a box or look fat

I would also recommend flipping through wedding magazines and looking up celebrities who have a similar body shape. Serena Williams has an athletic body and is not thin. She looked amazing.

Is anyone familiar with ESOPs?

Background: I worked at a company from July 2017-May 2015; they instituted a ESOP in late 2007. I need to confirm this part: payout begins 5 years after you leave (for me, that would have been May 2020). I am looking to go back as a part-time contractor (20 hours a week) from Sept 1-December 17, 2021.

Will this impact my ESOP payout if I go back as a temp/contractor?

Curious what everyone’s been seeing from the latest Google algo update? I’ve been noticing smaller, niche sites start to show up more in high value SERPs. My hypothesis was that over the pandemic Google over-showed the large sites like NYTimes, Forbes, CNET, TomsGuide, etc in high value categories to make sure users were getting info from well-trusted sources. Now they’re scaling back and giving the little sites some love. Thoughts???

Would love some insight, and also would need some help adjusting my resume to fit the tech landscape.

Thanks in advance!

In my office we have a very small number of black people. I don’t know the exact numbers but it doesn’t seem like more than 10. All of them I know >3 are on a personal improvement plan for very basic reasons. One faced blatant racism and was placed off the project. Therefore it was harder for this person to find a new project. How to investigate if this is correlates with microagressions and discrimination towards black people? Any ideas? How to convince non POC that this is a problem?
