The worst imaginable thing happened today. Someone tried to start multiple conversations with me in the quiet room of the library. Thank you all for your support during this difficult time.

Did anyone hate wedding planning? I’m constantly considering cancelling the wedding cuz I honestly can’t believe how much drama it’s causing with all family members.......

How many different projects would you show in your book? I’m redoing my portfolio and find it so hard to know what should make the cut...

What’s the highest total compensation you’ve seen or heard of for a UX Designer?

I’m specifically asking about recurring employee pay, and not onetime stock sales from exit events at startups.

Just wondering if any Junior designers feel the same but I work as the only graphic designer in a small digital marketing agency and lately there isn't any new projects and work coming in at least in my "department". No one is really touching base on anything but I'm still getting paid a salary ($42k/y). I worry that they may just cut me off any time soon since I feel I haven't been contributing as much as I want despite reaching out for any new requests. Thought?

Any suggestions for how to find a fully remote customer support job?

Looking to leave my AAE role (almost 2 year YOE) to move into consulting. Anyone here made the leap? Any advice?

Hi fishes,

Need some guidance, I am looking for a job in Product Management(currently working as a Middleware Integration developer) at IBM with 5 years of work ex.

Due to the length of my notice period (90 days) I decided to resign first and then look for jobs. Did I do the right thing? Also it has been 10 days since i resigned and have got no calls.

My background is in tech transactional. I joined a cybersecurity SaaS startup at the end of last year and now also handle more generalist matters in addition to all things commercial-related. I have a number of books on contracts that I’ve found super helpful over the years (The Tech Contracts Handbook, A Manual of Style for Contract Drafting, Sign Here, etc.). Can anyone recommend books they’ve found helpful for L&E matters, privacy matters, product matters, or marketing/advertising matters?

One of my big hang-ups with biden tax plan is raising corporate tax across the board. Why raise taxes on businesses when we've just found out how fragile it is to be able to run a small business?Why not at least propose some kind of progressive corporate tax structure if you want to raise taxes on corps?

I am about to transition from being a junior partner at a large law firm (my practice has focused on private equity M&A) to Deputy General Counsel at a large-ish Pubco. I am already giving myself a crash course in public securities and corporate governance from my firm’s training materials and my cap markets partners, but I also wanted to poll the audience for other suggestions on how to become as prepared as possible for my new role please. Thanks in advance!

I’ll share a few charts this evening on the major indexes and sectors. Today could prove to be a fairly significant day as the we saw a number of tends from late October break down and the technicals don’t necessarily point to a quick snap back.

Any administrators looking to move facilities or jobs? My company is hiring administrators, if you live in NJ or even close to and want to know more please dm me.

Hi 🐟 s , looking for .net developer opportunities with 7.5years experience.

Hi friends,
Any idea about the SAP hybris commerce vacancy in SAP?
I want referral if there is any vacancy.

A few extravert friends texted me over the weekend, panicking about WFH mandates and being socially isolated. I do not share their pain! Nice of them to care, though ❤️

Anyone else frustrated with how people conflate introversion with social anxiety? I’m introverted but not socially anxious. And I know plenty of socially anxious extroverts.

Ways to overcome fear of public speaking? At times I stutter when I introduce myself and am sick of it

When I get mild anxiety during a conversation I press my thumb agains one of my other fingers and it helps me relax a bit. Does anybody else do this? 😭

It takes me time to warm up & connect to new people, esp. in casual settings. Anyone any strategies how to deal with that? I see I am missing out on good and deeper connections.

Never thought I’d say this, but virtual happy hours are WAY worse than hanging out with your team in a bar. At least in person you can circulate.

Good jobs for introverts? So over consulting.

Oh, the beauty of the solo Sunday brunch ☺️🍳

I have a love-hate relationship with DU.

I got feedback from my manager telling me that I should always have an opinion, which is very hard in group settings, esp. when people are talking about a topic unrelated to my module. Any thoughts ?

Does anyone else have “email social anxiety”? Not with writing emails that have to do with content/work I did, but when I’m “just checking in” and doing vaguely unsaid social things I’ve never understood well.
I feel super awkward and read too into things, it takes me 30+ min for a simple friendly email to a manager or above and I get worked up about it.

34 and noticing that all my friends are friends of convenience - ppl from work, friends of friends, or ppl I’ve met randomly. How do I cultivate more deliberate friendships based on shared interests?

Best headphones for air travel?

My Bose QuietControl 30’s fell apart this week. In the market for a replacement. What do my fellow introverts recommend for blocking noise on airplanes?

I hate giving presentations. Any tips for feeling (or at least looking) comfortable and confident?

Any tips for how to make internal networking feel more natural? I know face time without a specific client need is important, but I can't find a way to make it feel authentic.
