How could I get some experience strictly remote? I am w-2 working as an accountant in healthcare, have passed the bar and am working on my CPA license (studying starts at 3 am, then work FT). I would like to eventually hang a shingle as a tax lawyer, but need experience. TIA!

Hey Fishes, What is the salary band range for a DevOps Engineer with 2 years of experience?

Hi all -
Sorry for the long rant, but could use advice or just encouragement.

Got laid off for the first time in my career 3 weeks ago. I have 10 years of PM experience (mostly ecommerce & experimentation). I was fortunate in the past to have had recruiters scout me directly so this is the first time in over a decade that I am applying to everything that I’m qualified for, mostly qualified for, and way over qualified for with zero leads. Only 3 interviews thus far that didn’t go forward.

Hi Sharks,

I am done with the L1 round this Monday (26th Sep) and got a response next day over email with the Subject line "Interview Feedback for L1 Interview", in the email it was mentioned that we will get in touch with you shortly.

How much time will it take any ideas?

Hi, all! I am an emerging UX designer and I would love some tips and ideas for polishing up my resume and portfolio so I can get my first real job. What advice can you give a junior designer to stand out from the crowd?

To those in leadership, no PBB is what it is, but to blame it on COVID-19 is just a slap in the face...2-3 weeks of working from home doesn’t kill the fiscal year when we’re 9 months in....

Is offer match a good idea?

Has anyone else had both markers dry out during a CPA exam? It's happened to me both times I've taken it.

What skills lead to success in M&A?

Another good senior gave notice today 🥲 don’t blame her one bit and wish her best of luck - I just wish our firm would’ve treated people better so that people at least don’t leave during busy season (we are filing in 3 weeks). Now I am seeing a lot of people leave during even busy season.. and I would’ve too if I had an offer

I hate to see good people go because of money. Why don't the firms just pay them more? It's almost impossible to find new replacement managers and so it would be worth it to pay up.

I’ve seen a lot of recruiters recently trying to hire for advisory consulting firms that claim they do the work that Big 4 can’t because of independence issues. Does anyone think these types of firms are sustainable or will big 4 find a way around the independence restrictions and take this work back?

Is it career suicide to leave before senior? Would I be able to come back?

I keep seeing people say this is the new normal. But it really isn't, this is a temporary normal.

Anyone else fantasizing of quitting right before busy season?

Considering an EY FSO Advisory Senior Consultant position in LA/SF offices. Anyone have any idea of salary ranges for such a role? I'm thinking in the 110k range.

Thanks in advance for the feedback.

I feel like I need a career coach because I am considering switching jobs but I don’t know where to go or where to start. I feel really overwhelmed and don’t know what I’m qualified for. And then always worried another job could be worse than the one I’m in now. Am I the only one like this? Where do you start? I can look at job postings and all but idk what I want to do long term. Especially with WFH I feel like there’s absolutely no networking or anyone to talk to outside of my team

So mentally unprepared for this busy season. When i turn on my laptop i can barely bring myself to go through the motions 😔, and I’m the in-charge on a large engagement 🙃.
