Thoughts on Peter Cooper Village in NYC as a 25M? I value social proximity, sunlight/greenery/space a bit as a baseline, and commute last. I’m leaning towards Murray Hill for the central location, shorter commute, and higher proportion of mid 20s folks but roommate wants PCV/stuy. My issue with PCV/stuy is that the commute is doubled at 30min and I don’t wanna be around a bunch of undergrads in east village all day

Does anyone here browse YouTube videos for tips on running your practice? New legal software to try? Nuances in argumentation, deposition or trial skills, etc? IF so, how do you search for content? Do you have favorite channels you recommend (even if they happen to be yours)? We are thinking of starting a YouTube channel giving practical advice for practicing lawyers. We want to be value-added - and there is not too much competition in our state. Thanks for your thoughts!!

I’m posting this here instead of my usual Big Law bowl because I’m guessing there are people here who will understand. I just need to vent. I am married to a wonderful man who has a young son. My husband is the kindest, most patient and supportive man I’ve ever met other than my dear late grandfather. He is saintly. But the chaos that surrounds him hurts me. I am the primary breadwinner and far out earn my husband and my stepson’s bio mom. I have always put pressure on myself to succeed (Cont.)

Have you seen an upswing in same sex dissolution matters in your area? If so are you in metropolitan or suburban location?

Would you strongly advise against going in-house right after a state court clerkship? (No law firm experience in law school either). I don’t know if I want to become an in-house forever. Would it be difficult to get a law firm job at a later time?

I have a business idea in the VR/AR space utilizing AI. However, I lack skill sets to evaluate viability or to create an MVP. Neither do I have a network to tap into.

My plan is taking classes to deepen my knowledge while joining and actively participating in communities to find collaborators.

Does this approach make sense or do you recommend other approaches? If it makes sense, do you have any recommendations for classes or communities?

Look forward to hearing your experiences and wisdom!

Raukten covers Rocket Man. Smh. I feel bad for Elton John.

Very niche post, but any other ATL people who are fans of the band Nothing But Thieves? Dying to go see them when they are on tour in the US in the next few months and need a buddy to travel to one of their concerts!!

I'm in finance/tech FPA, looking to go back to the defense industry for a 25% increase in TC. But wanted to see if I should leverage the new salary with current company to see if they'll match.

Background: got a promotion at current company that didn't come with sufficient increase . After stating my case I was told it would be evaluated next October, which is what prompted the initial job search.

Current TC 103K [88/15], offer 125k base [+discretionary bonus].

This is my first job in a large corporate company, and I’m trying to gauge how long it normally takes to move from entry level to another internal position in the insurance industry. I have been applying internally for a year now and I am wondering if this is normal or if my company is just slow? I am a top performer, with great metrics, and I have some wonderful connections I’ve made who support me. I just can’t seem to move up. How long did it take you to move up? How many tries did it take?

Has anyone in the US moved plants successfully across the country? I will be using professional movers for my move from IL to WA this fall.

Hi Sharks, I don't have any friends in Tech Mahindra. Need to confirm one thing. I am holding offer from TechM and HR told whatever total variable pay we mention in offer letter, we pay the same on Monthly basis in salary.
Is it true?
Kindly confirm.
Also please let me know how's TechM for SAP functional consultant profile?

I recently joined Capgemini at 13.5 LPA along with 1 lakh as joining bonus. It was a jump from 6.5 and I have 4 YOE with 2 yrs in React JS
Two questions that's been bothering me -

Did I settle for less as I can see people taking even bigger jumps with less experience?

My joining date was 15 September, so am I eligible for upcoming appraisal as the annual review is due by October 14 and I have just joined a project?

Please share your insights as I have looked for advice everywhere else.

So I have a meeting with a company tomorrow to get their official offer to be a BDR. It’s a tech company in PA, relatively LCOL area, their revenue is around $3-5 million a year. I have about a years experience. Any idea what I should expect? I know there’s a base and obviously bonus + commission but I don’t know the split %.

I'm looking to improve my communication skills to navigate a very political environment better (i.e. I need to be more diplomatic). Any books recommendarions are appreciated 💁🏼‍♀️

Someone reached out to me on LinkedIn about becoming an author on the side. Has anyone heard about such a thing?!? The person said she’s worked with 800 consultants writing their books and marketing it for them.

What book have you read that was helpful for your career and/or that you would recommend? Could be a technical book, management, etc. For me, it’s a book I read a few years ago: The Phoenix Project. I never thought I would read and like a novel about DevOps but I recommend it to all my managers.

When people ask: what is the "so what" from this chart? I say to myself - nothing it's just a chart !

Poll: What dress code do you follow at your home office?

Happy to refer 🐠 to Accenture! DM if you are interested.

Any book recommendations for philosophy, psychology, and business? Or any book you read last year changed your values? Going to fly international, gonna read it on flight. 😍

My manager basically gave me an unlimited budget to get whatever certifications I want. My career profile is similar to a Solution Architect- what should I get? I am thinking about Okta (I do some SAML work), Domo, ITIL, Six Sigma, Certified Scrum Product Owner, Six Sigma, anything else? I have AWS Cloud Practitioner already. I am hoping to pivot to Product Management or Data Science.

Im white, im a dude, im catholic, raised middle class, born in the USA, from NY, went to private HS and graduated from a small liberal arts college with a 3.7 in finance. CHANCES AT WHARTON/COLUMBIA??

Does anyone have the AWS Cloud Practitioner certificate and does it hold any value? I’m non-tech looking to get some certificates under my belt to be more marketable in my job search

Looking for book recommendations on strategy/strategic thinking. Something along the lines of Contagious but open to any options. Thanks in advance!

Do any of the top consulting firms hire into the Engagement Manager level after an M7 (if they had manager experience elsewhere)? I know MBB probably doesn’t but what about other tier 2 firms after that - and asking for US or Canada

If I need Friday 4-5pm to go to a doctor's appointment, do I need to set a meeting invite to my manager in order not to be fired?

Anyone have any recommendations for personal trainers in Houston? On maternity leave and looking to get back in shape.

Has anyone used the service of 'Safe Auto Trucking' Company in order to ship their car (within US)? what's been your exp?

Went through an Accenture and passed the behavioral interview. Got a call from the recruiter saying the MD doesn’t think I have enough experience so they’re gonna stop the interview. Is this common?

Are there any good movies or novels that show skill development - like follow through? Self-management? Money management? I read a lot of self help books so I know a lot of the theory, and books peppered with examples help, but I feel like most 1 paragraph examples don’t five justice to how hard it may be to change a behavior.

What are the BCG ring fences and how is each one? Can you join any of them or are you required to do the one closest to your home office
