I'd take an automated system over the dummys at MetLife. I explained exactly what I was looking for and kept getting bounced back and forth between several departments. I laced into some chick probably 3 days on the job and then 2 minutes later I'm at the right place.

WHAT?!?!? My biggest win was getting the direct number (non published) for the voice-activated directory for a large employer. Call, Say a name, Rings directly to their desk (bypassed the assistants)" No Thanks" *click* redial say a namerings directly to their desk. Hell I talked to the CEO and CFO of a Fortune 500 company on a cold-call. Of course I'm sure they wondered how it happened, because after two weeks, the C-suite could no longer be reached.

My company was just acquired by a private equity firm. We’ve been around for 25+ years and have been a public company.

I recognize there can be positives and negatives to this type of acquisition, but I’m curious if anyone has any tips, feedback, personal experiences, etc. they can share?

I received a job offer for a PM position with a base of $125K and a 10% bonus, fully remote and ok benefits. The parental leave is pretty bad, just FMLA and STD/LTD so the most I’d get is 60% of my salary for 12 weeks. I’ve cancelled most of my interviews except for one where the pay is $135K, 20% bonus, hybrid schedule, good benefits and 16 weeks fully paid parental leave. I’d like to start my family in a year or two - is it better to take the remote gig or the hybrid role with full paid leave?
