Sorry for the dumb question but will doing an at home workout program (Sydney Cummings) with 8-lb weights do anything for me? Female.

1) no dumb questions here!

2) it depends on where you’re starting from. some weight is always better no than no weight. can mix in circuits, plyo, single sided to make things harder

Agree with others but also maybe get another set of weights slightly heavier like 12 lbs? I do Sydney Cummings workouts too and having a light/medium pair and heavy pair works great

Yeah I think I should definitely do that haha. Have you seen any progress following her workouts?

Depends on how strong you are before you start! Once it gets too easy, you’ll know

I love Sydney! She saved me at the beginning of covid when I couldn't go to bootcamp classes. If you're doing upper body exercises try doing them on your knees. You'll find that bicep curls, shoulder presses and other upper body exercises are more challenging.

I was offered a Solutions Architect role with a packaging company. When discussing details with the recruiter, she specified that the salary was $60k…I was shocked to hear that number.

I gave her my target salary as $100-120k (I have 3 years experience in IT, 1 in IT Procurement, now a PM). She said the highest they would likely be able to go is $85k, but she would have to speak with the hiring managers.

I still think $85 is too low for the role. What do you think is a fair salary?

Hi, I cleared all the rounds in mindtree as per the information from mindtree recruitment team. But my current status in their portal is "Parked"(Earlier it was "Shortlisted"). When I called and asked them they mentioned I've cleared all the rounds and my offer has sent for approval and once they get the approval then they will inform me or send me an offer

May I know how long does it take to get offer from mindtree once all rounds are cleared. I'm bit concerned becuz it's more than 17 days now

I’m not sure if this happens to you, I’m constantly intimidated and feel judged by white men and women and/or people born in the US for having a strong foreign accent in the US. Nobody says that to my face, but I can see it in people’s actions. This has severely affected my confidence and I focus more on the way I pronounce some words rather than the content. How do I battle this situation? Would definitely like both perspectives.
