Any advice on how to tastefully tell your manager that you no longer want to be a charge nurse anymore? For us being in charge is having full assignment 3p-7p & being responsible for assigning pts , communicating w/ supervisor about various issues, making the assignment for next shift, and a mini report about each pt for the next charge. On the weekends, same responsibilities but 7a-7p. We don't get any additional pay for being in charge and I'm sick of the added responsibility and stress of it.

Any book recommendations on excel modeling for real world business applications?

Hows the industry doing in MENA right now? Any worries about a potential crash? Are firms still hiring? Based in the US and everything is tense here with the recent tech layoffs

I have my second round of interview for consultant role with mastercard data and services. Can anyone here help explain the kind of projects the team does, and also how your interview experiences have been? Thank you!

Is it a good time to join Mastercard Pune? How is the WLB?

Hi All,

I have recently received an offer letter from Finicity - MasterCard company. My job role is the Senior technician support role with Level 8.

I am holding an offer of 12.2LPA having 4.4 yrs of experience in Citrix Administration.
MasterCard is offering me 13.5LPA as fixed pay and 7% as variable pay.

Not ready to negotiate more, should I accept the offer?

What do you when you begin to feel yourself emotionally detaching and spiraling back to a depressive state?

Solo trip to europe for two weeks this august, 27/F, deciding between two options: city and beachside or maybe both! I generally like walkable cities, good food, bespoke wine bars, stay a while in cafe scenes. Aside from London, Paris, Lisbon, (been to these cities already) any recommendations?? Keeping in mind that europe is still easing out of covid restrictions, would like to head somewhere that’s going to be more open. TIA :).

One year this week. Grateful for lots, including this bowl.

What are everyone’s thoughts on Freddie Mac? It’s been a really tough year to be in consulting

Turning 28 and hit $300K NW today. Never formally FIRE’d but want to set out a plan for here onwards. What’s some good material / easy reading to start with?

Currently being recruited for Alvarez & Marsal (Dubai or Riyadh). I’ve checked with my irl network and no one has worked with them before. Anyone here working with or for them who wouldn’t mind answering a few questions related to my proposed function; Strategy & Implementation?

So our CEO asked me and a colleague to give a Start/Stop/Continue Mid-year review of our CIO who’s been our Head of Product for a few months (Our Head of Product left because of him when that guy came in)

We have a lot to say and none of the PMs approves the way he operates.

My concern is that it’s meant to be transparent but if we’re honest and he gets called off, he will figure out it comes from us.

Never been in that situation before, is it better to be completely honest or a bad idea?

Any Bengali female 🐠 in this bowl?

Here’s a cheerful one to end your week:

Was told last week my freelance gig was ending today.

Contacted my network of gatekeepers and one wrote to me on Sunday.

Gmails “nudge” feature does a real good job in reminding who’s ghosting me at the moment.

Flew from London to the US for a two day interview marathon. Had one call with HR two weeks later where I was told they were gathering feedback and would get back to me asap. Never heard back. (contd)

R/GA - they are the worst. Some of the people they have hired over the years makes me wonder if their HR department is smoking crack

Ghosting after on-site interviews is despicable. Recruiting has been a part of my job for years in addition to resourcing & project management, and I would always manage to reply emails.

Greetings, Ghosted! bowl members. As 2019 concludes, people who posted here: please let us know if you ever heard back from your ghosters.

Scale of 1-10, how crazy is it to check-in email the CDs you interviewed with? Unless there’s been a terrible accident I’m pretty sure the recruiter is ghosting me. The not knowing is killing me!

Email response from a resume submission requesting times to chat and that she's " really looking forward to speaking with me." Three email replies later - crickets. I'm so tired of this shit...

D&G - Nicole Gordon
Flaked on 2 calls she set up, blamed time difference since EST & PST are so hard to distinguish then silence, but weeks later reaches out via LinkedIn about the same opportunity

Tfw a recruiter reaches out and asks if you’re around for a chat... Only to never respond to you again after you say yes. Just, why?!

ghosted from FIG :(

I’ve been ghosted again. For the 4th time. In a horrible year of forced freelance/unemployment. And these weren’t just initial stage ghostings but like 5+interviews in. In one case... (continued)

So pretty much everyone... sigh

Had what had to be the best call with a recruiter I’ve ever had — she seemed so excited to pass my work to her teams, received the sweetest follow up email from her, but now it seems like she’s ghosting me. UGHHHHH. Any words of wisdom or advice? Feeling bummed because I was super excited about this opportunity.
