This is my first job. What are some useful tips you would have liked to know about recognizing your niche or potential clients on social media?

Hows the industry doing in MENA right now? Any worries about a potential crash? Are firms still hiring? Based in the US and everything is tense here with the recent tech layoffs

At this point in the game it doesn't make a difference where you at everybody is getting laid off at one point or another the only thing I say is try to repair yourself for it if it happens to you

Year after year from one company to the next, I dispense tech strategy to a few highly compensated managers in charge of a gaggle of H1B replacement workers. Why do we fight about a stupid border wall

Been away from SF for 8 months. How is SF now?

Going through a closeout. 50-50 profit share allocation, but my business partner has been using the venture money at their personal piggy bank (hence the breakup). My accountants say because we agreed to 50-50 shares, the leftover money has to be divided equally.

They spent $100k in the last month on random "work stuff" but bought a new car, etc. Now I have to pay for it with less equity return!

Just wanted to rant, I'll probably never go into a partnership again.

How do firms calculate how much parental leave to provide, either paid or unpaid. Or do they just pick a number, like “yeah they can get to know their kid in a few weeks and I couldn’t possibly have that attorney out for 12 weeks?” I’m at a small firm, no FMLA or state requirement. We get four weeks paid and four weeks unpaid. Would like to push for more but not sure how to argue costs side of it.

Hi All,

Can you like my post so that I can use the this platform?

Thanks in advance!!

How is the Jboss Fuse ESB project in Persistent? Any feedback will be helpful.

I have an investment idea. Would be great for banks and investors to speculate, but it involves creating a market for the product. Who should I approach first banks or investors?

What does AlixPartners do? I see quite a few MBB folks exit to AlixPartners. Wondering why is that?

Anyone here who made the exit from Big 4/MBB consulting to a VC? If so, I’d love to hear about how the experience is so far. (Not to mention the WLB and comp!) I’m considering a career change but have no one in my network I can go to for insights. Thx! 🙏🏾

Any insights into the Kroll or CFGI FDD/TAS Manager interview process? Any comp expectations for NYC/HCOL M1?

What are some good websites to use for searching and applying for job postings? I am looking to lateral and have been using LinkedIn and Indeed so far. Any other ideas?

My wife and I are thinking we may do an all inclusive resort in Punta Cana this year for our big vacation, anyone have any experiences to share? Thank you!

My company has grown from 50 to 200, and my impact as an HR leader needs to grow from IC activities (recruiter, hr ops person) to.....hr leader. Any tips on doing that (and doing it well?)

I was rejected from a job because I don’t have a big online presence. Why does work have to be my hobby, too? Is this normal?

Where do you find inspiration for topics to seed the community with?

What prompted you to do a complete community overhaul? Did it pay off?

Looking to create a survey to send out to our customers to get an idea of what kind of content they’d like to see from us. Any suggestions on high-value questions to ask?

If you had to choose between Discord and Reddit as your main community hub, which one would you pick and why?

What is the best way to get early adopters participating in the community before officially launching it? We want it to look like a lively place before new folks pop in.

Moderators/managers for virtual communities actually have a pretty difficult job because the rules for posting have to be interpreted, there are very few hard and fast absolutes in this profession

I’ve been thinking about starting a blog for community managers. What topics would you like to see covered?

Wanted to share a recent win in case this would work for anyone else in the bowl -- We started a “share some music” channel in the community and it’s amazing how a non-related topic can encourage participation.

Does anyone here know anyone who has left their CM role? What was the next step in their career?

Are you an experienced community and social media manager expert with 4 to 5 year of experience.
You can DM.
Let’s make a deal.

Is there a need for freelance community managers?

I need a magic spell to make employers stop asking community managers to design, manage ads and create strategies. As you read, a CM is in charge of your COMMUNITY. They're should not be doing the work of 4 people.

Nobody asked, but here I share the best 5 tools that will ease your job as a community manager:

👉 Canva
👉 Hootsuite
👉 Google Drive
👉 CapCut
👉Qoob Stories

Would you add or change something?

How did you get started in your career as a community manager?

What kind of plans/services do you offer to your clients as a freelancing social media manager?

We’re looking to implement incentives to encourage community engagement. We’re going to test both material incentives (product) and good ol’ fashion recognition. Which one do you think will do better?

What resources would you suggest for learning about A/B testing in a community context?

I have a bit of experience doing social media management with online businesses but I’d like to try out working with local businesses in my area. What are some good strategies for doing cold outreach, and what kind of services would you offer to entice them to work with you?

Am I the only one who gets offers from clients with crazy unrealistic expectations about how fast a page can grow? Like no, sorry, I can’t get you 100,000 new TikTok followers within a month.
