Is anyone in industry hiring? Sounds like most places are on a hiring freeze.

There are a fair amount of companies still hiring. It’s definitely bad out there, but forums such as these are not truly indicative of what the market is really like out there. Hiring has slowed, but there are still positions to be filled.

They said they can discharge us to rehab or home (home is apparently against medical advice now). How can I leave this place and go to the hospital of our choice? Ask for discharge and transportation home and then from there call 911 and ask to be taken to requested hospital?🙏🏻

Leaving B4 after a year to purse a careering in banking. I make low 50s in my current role (A2). We haven’t received comp adjustments yet, but I’m assuming we won’t due to COVID. My new role will be paying me 80. It is roughly a 46% raise. I am hoping I do not short change myself in the long run, however it sounds like there is a lot of room for growth (one of the biggest banks in the US). Anyone think I made a mistake not staying until senior? 40+% raise seems rare.
