I used to get lit on LITS (Long Island Iced Tea) ummmm you didn’t use lit correctly. But I’m starting to use the word extra correctly. LOL #facepalm

What podcasts do you listen to?

Listen to "all I need" by prateek kuhad. Best song. On loop here🤗

What is everyone making for the holidays? Need some inspiration for sweet n savory!

Soliciting ideas for a big closing lunch with clients - near or close to bryant park, my first pick was Gabriel Kreuther but they only do Thurs/Fri lunches (ours would be Tues). Ideas for upscale restaurants appropriate for corporate clients? They said “anything but steak” ha.

What's your absolute favorite dinner spot in Chi-town? I'm willing to travel, but I'm moving soon so want to hit all of the greats I haven't been to or didn't know about.

Why is hotstar behind cable TV by about 15-20s?

Please listen to "CO2" by prateek kuhad. You won't regret. Thank me later. Best song I found in a while.

Curious to know has anyone stumbled upon a bar(cocktails, drinks) that has also nailed social accounts so good so that besides their bar offerings people also cant wait to consume their content?

Just watched Humankind on Netflix. Its about editing genes, CRISPR CAS9 and so on. The thought was posed "imaging having the body of a 25 year old with the experience of a 130 year old." This thought is so seductive to me that I would be a test subject.

Cardano on the way back up, thank God 😮‍💨

What’s everyone working on these days? Anything fun?

Men any intel on well made white shirts around $100 that aren’t see through? My maker just made their shirts more transparent and lost my business sadly. TIA!

Been trying to find a new job because $112k just doesn't seem right for 3+ years as an Eng 3. On the east coast wanting to move out to California. Not getting many bites. Do employers ignore applications for people who would need to relocate?

Anyone got insights on IBM Security? Areas of expertise? QoL? Pay, etc.

FIRE Newbie here - wondering how everyone is retiring early (30’s 40’s 50’s) if the majority of your savings are tied up in tax preferential retirement vehicles you can’t really touch for another few decades?

Crushed my final two interviews today. I will hear back sometime next week for a verbal offer for a Tech Solutions Consultant on the xWS team. Leaning towards an L4 but maybe they give L5 if the interview feedback was as good as I thought it went. Any thoughts on how I should negotiate base and equity? Maybe ask for sign on too?

Looking to hire lawyers for my EB1A application. Talked to a few and really enjoyed my conversation with Xu Law Group. They seemed really knowledgeable and know what they are doing. Their reviews are glowingly positive but I don’t have any personal references.

Looking to see if anyone has worked with them or other positive experiences with another immigration law firm. #workvisa #h1b #eb1

I just got engaged on Sunday (!!) and my ring is just a little big. I’m reading online that most jewelers won’t resize a rose gold ring. Has anyone had any issues with this? I could go back to the family jeweler who designed the ring and would do it for free but the ring was designed in Michigan and I live in Chicago. Is it worth it to drive to Michigan to get it taken care of there?

Staff 1 Rating 3, with an 8% hike. Good/bad ?

Love the discussions on here especially w the perspective that anonymity gives us the opportunity to voice extreme positions and polarizing disagreements that may not have been said in normal settings

Anyone here from Monitor Deloitte? Would you be open to a quick chat? I am interested in the consultant role. Please DM if you are available.

Considering taking a position with a small-cap in the US trying to build their legal department. The title is standard “counsel” although the work would be with the senior leadership team and reporting to the GC in Europe. How reasonable is it to ask for a bump in title - Senior counsel or Head of Legal, US? If it matters, I am a 6th year and have been told that I will be expected to hire a junior or paralegal as we build up.

For those at small/medium patent pros boutiques, what is your compensation structure, billing requirements, and salary like?

Does anyone know if Dwell Design in DC is a good company to work for?
