Straight talk (division of TracFone)
Nothing but a den of useless lists and thieves. Common place trash. Promised a refund dating back 12/30/2024. And then again 01/07/2025... Always told wait 7-10 business days. Correct me if I am wrong... But 7-10 business would have ended....oh about the 21st. And here at 27th... No check to be found. What a useless company. Anybody and I mean anybody that uses them... Expect nothing... In fact expect less than nothing. They can't transfer a call (sure right)

Due to politics in team against me, I was given C band for my performance and now I am ineligible for DCA 202. Any suggestions on how to increase salary within tcs or I will have to wait for next cycle?

Have SIL's coming in mid Aug and I live in San Diego and I am in search of nice contemporary patio furniture. (Siblings In Laws)

PM with 7 yrs experience with implementing DC migrations, cyber security and storage solutions. Looking to switch to inbound marketing or product management that has work life balance. Hiring in BOS?

I have 200k in HYS. Currently have 1k in BTC. Id like to start DCA to diversify my investments. How do you recommend this? Should I buy a bunch outright and then start investing 5-10% of each paycheck?

Moving to NC from Chicago. Wife is starting work at Brenner’s Children Wake Forest Hospital in Winston. Any recommendations for areas between CLT and Winston? Closer to Winston would be better since she will commute more frequently than I. Thanks!

Pros:

- fairly decent place to work (from someone who worked with the Vancouver and San Jose offices). never met a blue badger (permanent employee) who had awful things to say.

- Ashley Goodall (their SVP, Methods & Intelligence) co-authored a brilliant book on leadership and people management called “Nine Lies About Work” that makes me believe they can be an awesome place to work

Cons:

- red badgers had low morale since they’re contract workers and can be terminated at any time

Has anyone changed your project after being selected in Jan. DCA?

I see blogs saying I can use 75k round trip delta points to fly JFK-London but whenever I try to book w points on the app it’s 60k one way and 200 dollars. Am I doing it wrong? Should I book on site?

I have been working in SEA region last 4 years. I feel burned out. I have 10yoe, I have try to move to other country but I pretty much suck in LeetCode. I want to take some time off to unwind, finish some personal business, and really prepare for interviews. I would like to hear from you. Should I quit to my current manager(5th so far) or wait after mid year performance review, when a new boss will take over my team? I'm thinking on giving them 2 months notice period. By contract is 1.

Thanks

Hey everyone. I'm joining JPMC next week and was wondering do they provide a budget to purchase your own laptop/equipment. My manager said they don't provide laptops and that I can use my own. My laptop isn't the best so I would want to buy a new one.

Went for a pre-employment drug test yesterday. They never asked me if I was on any medications. I had to ask them and was told "oh yeah, just put any you may think make a difference in this text box." I put Xanax, Flexeril, and gabapentin. All of which are prescribed and used as directed. Now I'm terrified that I should have put ALL my meds, to including my psych meds. I've been sober over 12 years and never touched drugs (just booze) but I'm having a full blown panic attack.

Can we do a mass petition to Sushma Swaraj to give external ministry clearance on GEP? Lot of us are stuck with the clearance after successful police verification in India. C'mon people!

Asking for advice- I’ve realized consulting is not the path for me long term and have had plans to quit. I’m currently staffed on a project alone and feel lost as I don’t have much experience in this line of work. Deadline is approaching and I have voiced my concerns to finish in time. Manager is still reviewing my work and the turnaround time to make revisions and finish phase 2 work seems unlikely within a few days. Is it unreasonable to ask for another resource to help finish?

I'm non US citizen and thinking of moving back to EU. My plan is getting remote opportunities across the world and work as a freelancer. My speciality is Data analytics and BI (Qlikview, Tableau). 1) How likely I can get a gig from the US? 2) if a job looking for a remote 2-3 months contract do they care what country I'm in? 3) how can I compete Indian rates as I'm in Europe 60-70$ per hour as a BI consultant is a good rate but I see online rates as low 10$😫?

Coming from ACN, senior analyst, 3yrs total experience so far & wanting to get into the data analytics/BI work.

What are my chances of finding a role with another company that'll let me work in BI/data analytics and build up my skill at the same time? Been thinking of leaving ACN.

Tech company lay offs….are they soon to be inevitable?!

There is lots of companies really taking a hit in the tech space. Is this something that people are nervous about? Many seem to still be having a hiring push but with the button falling (IMO this is still just start we have a long way to go to bottom out) will that halt and layoffs ensue? And if so, which depts do you think will get hit the hardest?

I had an interview yesterday for an AM position for a start up. The salary is 30k more than what I’m making now and it seems like the culture is much better than my current company. I prepped for days… I bombed it. The interviewer repeated two questions because I wasn’t answering them in a way they wanted. Can I just say that was a humbling experience🙃
