Scary to think about the impact of our work. I’ve done projects that have led to layoffs, but this is next level...

How is eBay doing in this market? Any expected layoffs? I have a SDE iffer with Global shipping team in eBay and considering making a move.
Thanks!

What has anyone heard about the layoffs at Gunderson? Was the NY office affected?

Tired of this constant grind and constant layoff situation in NYC. Thinking of making the move to LA. Any thoughts? Yay or nay?

My company announced future layoffs planned for late September. I’m a Designer with 5 years of professional experience, not including 3 years of doing internships while obtaining my BFA in Graphic Design. Please let me know of any leads! Ideally I’m looking for a full-time, remote/hybrid role based in Los Angeles, CA.

The marketing department is always the first to get hit during layoffs. Do you have a backup plan in case you lose your job?

This may not suite everyone here and I am not trying to spook anyone here ,but I just wanted to know how is everyone coping up with the layoff stuff that is going around. Though my current organization hasn't announced anything yet ,the writing is on the wall for it

I am depressed 24*7 for the past 4 months. I am trying to divert my thoughts but I wanted to understand what you guys are doing.

Is it safe to join CISCO? I have heard the layoffs happens there yearly.

Anyone thinks groups like FDD will see any layoffs in the next few months?

Laid off in July 2020 and have a standing offer to join a company I'm not crazy about. Is it better to take the role, continue search on side, but be faced with external companies asking why I'm looking to leave so soon? Or, decline and keep searching?

I've noticed an uptick in jobs since the new year and no issues getting interviews. Financially, UC ran out and stressing a bit on tapping savings but still in a decent position.

I am seeking new employment, I was recently laid off due to lack of work. I would very much appreciate any leads. I have a Bs in Construction Management and over 15 years experience with Revit and AutoCAD and 7 years of plumbing design. I have solid references and impeccable work ethic. I truly enjoy what I do. Working remotely the last three years has become a way of my life and supports our current situation well, therefore I am seeking a similar role but will consider other opportunities.

Is it a red flag as a candidate to ask if a company offers maternity leave? I was recently laid off, so I wasn't expecting to lose my job. We're planning on trying for a baby in the next year or so, so it's really important to me that my next job offers paid maternity leave.

The issue is that it's so rarely advertised on company web sites, but ultimately better maternity leave would sway my decision for a job. Is there a way to ask this tactfully? Or without raising red flags?

Laid off in May and now applying for a new full time role w previous employer. I’ve also been approached by someone in a related team at same company for a contract role through at least next May. The hitch is I’m 4 mo pregnant, due in late Feb. I feel like I’ll need to disclose this for the contract role but I don’t want to potentially jeopardize the FT opportunity. What would you do? So far I’ve just said I’d be interested in considering the contract if the FT position doesn’t work out.

Hi everyone, offering referrals to anyone who’s been laid off. Certain groups are slowing hiring but still happy to refer anyone who needs it.

Most likely getting fired, tips on how to find a job ASAP? I made a pretty big mistake that required supplemental filings with government offices to fix (missed some items when reviewing/comparing long lists of things across 20-30 years). It’s fixable and the client isn’t really getting hurt by this (worst case signing gets delayed), but my anxiety is telling me to prepare for the worst. Can I ask for extra time at the firm to find a new job (so I wasn’t “fired”)? Or should I go for severance?

Hi, I currently work for an MNC and have received an offer from Hexaware in sep with joining date in dec last. What is the situation in SFDC domain in Hexaware currently with respect to projects and layoffs. My current company is best in terms of job security but due to the pay hike I have planned to shift as the current payscale is on the lowest in industry. Please provide your inputs on job security and work life balance in Hexaware

Have you been fired before even starting your new job?

I signed for a new job two months ago and will start next month (3 mo notice period in Europe). They were very keen on getting me on-board ASAP before signing but since I signed the contract it has been silent from the new employee. I've emailed them with questions as I'll be re-locating to NL and it takes them 1-2 weeks to reply. Given all that's going on in the world, I'm worried they might fire me before I even start.

Just got laid off :(. I am in Health IT advisory. Would anyone help out with a referral to you awesome firm?

Hello ladies, got an interview and feel unsure (just been laid off unfortunately, perhaps i am stressing and overthinking) but would love some help for my task. I have to prepare an integrated marketing plan to generate sales qualified opportunities.
What are the main things I must not forget to mention?

I'm having a difficult time finding gigs that like my design work and my advertising background. I'm told I have too much design or not the right aesthetic they're looking for...

What the hell do you get male coworkers for office holiday gifts? They're fine guys and we have a great team but I wouldn't say I know them well enough to pick out individual relevant gifts for each of them. I was thinking like 5ths of whiskey & some chocolate? Or homemade cookies or something? Please give me some good ideas

What’s everyone doing this weekend 🤨

Best advice you received for building relationships with leadership/gaining supporters after a lateral move?

Does anyone have an insurance agent (home and auto) or accountant (personal filings) who they would recommend in the DFW area?

Spending Christmas with boyfriends fam for the second time. I feel really alone, and I’m not sure whether to tell him or if I’m being needy. He’s mostly hanging out with his male cousins and brothers, drinking and playing beer games. I’m on the couch with the moms and a few of his girl cousins, however they’re all just napping or on their phones. Not sure if this is normal or if I should say something. Help?

Any book recommendations for working moms? I’m a first time mom & I’d love to hear perspectives from other moms on how they balance home and career.

I am currently debating on applying for a Senior Pharmacy Claims Professional role at Humana. I have been with the company over 10 years. Any thoughts on what to expect for a wage/salary? Also, would this role be equivalent to a Team Lead role?

How do you get over dating a guy that’s shorter than you

Me & my roommate had a great outdoor area (terrace of about 200/300 square feet) in Brooklyn. However, it’s all stone pavers & I’m trying to figure out the best way to add some green/plants plus add additional privacy between the common & private space. Selfishly, my window looks out to all the air conditioning units so hoping for something with a little height.

Any recs for plants (either aesthetic or practical), planters, outdoor furniture that isn’t stupid expensive & won’t immediately die?

Anyone in Amsterdam? I need your advice! I really want to move there. I’m in NYC now but ready for a new adventure - I have a decent book and work for big IPG agency - please share any/all advice or names of shops i should look up!

Currently I have an offer on my hand and my current employer has nominated me for H1B

Is it good to stay in the company or resign as I have a better offer in hand

How long does it take for you to complete 1 chapter of a Becker book?

What is your take home pay each month and how much of it do you spend each month (i.e. what’s your monthly budget)? I take home around $22,000 and spend around $13,000 and I keep thinking that’s an insanely high budget for a single person 🤷🏼‍♀️

How’s tonal for working out?

Just finished an interview in which the interviewer showed no emotion throughout, was condescending, and then complimented me on my AC unit before we got off the call.

Happy Friday!

Anyone willing to refer me to a strategy/MC/tech position at EY, D, KPMG or Accenture?

Any consultants have hooked up with flight attendants? how and when??

Hoping I can leverage the collective intelligence of this community. I’m drafting a plan on a page using a flowchart style visual. The plan is depicting completion of a document which is going through multiple rounds of review. After each round of review, the document will be revised. How do I show the review > revision > review > revision cycle in a simple manner?

All these posts about $$$ concerns. I worked a decade in non-profit marketing, making 70k as associate director.

I’m now a new analyst at Accenture making 82k and feel like a king having very minimal responsibility and making more $.

If you’re making over $100k you have it better than the majority of the US, let alone the rest of the world.

Anyone know any external fellowship/scholarship an international (African) student can apply for, to pursue a Masters degree in education. School said they have provided max funding. Will be grateful.

Are online Masters degrees any good? Do they carry any weight relative to conventional Masters from Ivy plus? So something along the lines of Harvard Extension school (Psychology degree), or Columbia Master of Social work…

Books you would recommend for consulting or personal development?

What to do if you estimated your time and committed to two projects, not really thinking that there are three you are working on. Go back and re estimate to the stakeholders or just play it out?

Any idea what the WLB is like @ QuantumBlack?

Just watched Maid on Netflix and thought “Damn, people are slaving away for pennies while I’m making six figures for sitting on my butt.”
Our world is crazy.
