Anyone from Amazon willing to refer me? ~3 years in tech implementation and product management

Can't really share this with anyone else, so thank you fellow fish for indulging. 3 years in, finally at a point where I can comfortably work 40 hours a week the last quarter+, and still be a trusted team member and major contributor. Normal tasks and collaborations now take me a fraction of the time compared to my first couple years / others on the team. 6 YOE and my TC has also gone up a lot from low 200s last year to high 200s this year. Hope to keep this optimal mix of WLB & progression 🙏

Hedge fund or VC route?

New to casing and looking to case with people over the next few weeks. DM me if interested!

Anyone have any good advice for getting students to think/respond on their own? So many times when I ask them to write their own thoughts about something and to explain why they hold that opinion, many students get stuck and/or turn to the Internet. And then I find myself repeating, I’m asking for YOUR thoughts about this, not someone else’s. I teach grades 9 & 11.

Anyone looking to do a case prep this weekend via Skype / phone?

Need advice on salary range for a role I'm interested in. Change Management Analyst role in HR at American Express. I have 3.5 years of experience, mostly in the CM space. Is 98K too high/low? (NYC)

Worst part about being unemployed is the pity face everyone makes when you tell them. If I hear one more "don't worry you'll find something soon" I'm going to scream. Trying to be helpful is one thing but pitying me helps no one and makes me uncomfortable.

Current CTC - 5.8LPA

Someone reported me to my manager for being unprofessional because I said " let's shoot for a meeting on Friday". I guess she/he/them etc... didn't like the word shoot.
Why are people so sensitive these days?

Need advice - I've been talking to a Partner contact at a big-4 firm where I REALLY want to work. She sent my info to the managing partner in my city, but I haven't heard anything for about 3 weeks. Been playing it cool because I know these things can take time, BUT, I just got let go from my current firm. I have til 12/15 to find a new job.

Do I tell her my timeline is now a month, or is telling them I'm getting fired going to tank my chances of getting the job?

Hi All, Anyone moved from GBS to CIO BU ?
If yes, what is the advantages and disadvantages for this.

If I decline one FAANG offer for another, Will I get blacklisted at the one I declined??

It’s review season at my agency. I’m struggling with what goals to put down or things I want to learn. Not because I think I’m perfect (ha) but because our job description gets so amorphous as we elevate. I’ve been an Account Director for about 3 years. What are goals that y’all have set or things you’ve looked to learn as you’ve gotten more senior?

First time participating in ESPP this last period. I received a heads up email that Morgan Stanley will get in touch to open a broker account, but not heard from MS themselves. Anyone in a similar situation?

Starting us off with an important tip: Your resume is a marketing document, not an autobiography. It should include relevant jobs, responsibilities, and perhaps most importantly, achievements. Where you can quantify an accomplishment or just talk up a major project you led at work or in an internship, do so. The point is to make the hiring manager think, “Wow, I need to talk to this person! They seem like a good fit!”

I buy things I don’t need and don’t know how to fix it. I always blamed it on “drunk buying” but I’ve been sober for 355 days and it persists. I know I buy things in an effort to fill a void and try to feel something so I buy “things” but it doesn’t help and I know it. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Has anyone come to you for help?

Remember that these people asked Allah first, and Allah gave them your address for you to help them.

My wife of seven years and I went to a talk on Marriage in Islam recently. It was given by Imam Alaa ElSayed. I generally have a low tolerence for mullah/moulvi types, but this man was the real deal.

Just came from a salatul janazah.. 😢 😔 😞

US peeps, what are you doing for thanksgiving?

After I eat sehri, I just want to lay down while my stomach looks like a mountain. Then I become so lazy to get up for fajr. Shaitan is locked up, it feels like I’m the shaitan, don’t wanna get up ...

The older I get and the more I think about raising my own children, I keep thinking how can parents frame religious duties like fasting as something to look forward to. I think volunteering as a family can help install the value of giving back and zakaat. How can one make Ramadan and Eid something to look forward to when holidays like Christmas seem to be purely joyous occasion that one doesn’t have to put in work for like fasting for Ramadan?

I started investing in Vanguard Mutual Funds and and did some research online today and it seems like we can’t do that and it might not be halal. Does anyone have any insights here?

Dang, sorry I meant to comment on the post!

Is knowing how to communicate a compatibility issue or can it be learned?

Anyone in the DC area know if the Friday prayer in Rosslyn (at Arlington Temple) ever came back after the pandemic?

Salaam, unsure if this is the right bowl, but does anyone have any recommendations on books that discuss the history of Pakistan? It’s formation, etc. Thanks

Long post alert; I have been interviewing with a b4 for a senior con role since Mar end. Cleared all the rounds including case study and got strong rating as well as good feedback. Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)
