I'm currently working at a trucking company, and so far, it's challenging but enjoyable. I was employed at a tech firm but got laid off due to circumstances not in my control. Now I help implement software for use by truckers to optimize their routes.

It's the good offer that made me choose the job. I was working below my pay grade in my previous work. My current company offered a very good compensation package that I cannot resist. Besides, I love what I do right now.

I started working in FedEx Dubai for a long period of time. I started from the lowest position and climbed up the ladder. When my family moved to another country I brough my skills and experience with me to easily land on a good job.

The offer was so good to be true. I accepted it and I'm glad I did. I enjoy what I do so I think that's more than enough.

The salary and good reviews about their culture. My previous company was the most toxic company I've ever worked for. I believe the good reviews made me choose the job.

Is it worth going back into a dumpster fire w/ no leadership to gain experience?

Transactional associate. Lateraled 6 months ago and one of the biggest pain points has been my new firm’s inclination to “hop on a call”, which of course requires every single stakeholder to join. The end result being every call has 25 people on it and nothing actually gets done because no one wants to ask a question that could come off as silly. It’s destroying my ability to get anything done during the day. It’s a complete performance and it drives me nuts.
