Had anyone here planned a wedding in 3 months or less? Am I crazy? I’m already legally married (small wedding during Covid) but looking to throw a larger celebration of sorts. Originally wanted next spring but my husband and I are wanting to start trying for kids and so I’m leaning this fall or it’ll have to potentially wait until after we have our first kiddo (don’t want to risk a spring date and end up pregnant ha). So is it crazy to think I can plan something for this fall?

In case anyone would like to spare themselves a heart attack stroke and possibly spreading Covid to a large group of people as you run around screaming for help. If you child goes missing and doesn’t respond to you calling her name despite screaming it at the top of your lungs 50 times check under the blankets her room. She could be a very sound sleeper and entirely huddled under the blanket on the floor. Also don’t trust your 12 year old to check under the blanket either before calling 911.

Hi all,
I graduated during Covid with a double major in business administration and business management with a minor in marketing and magically ended up in sales because I needed a job. I’m about to take a data analytics course to make an attempt to break into that field. I’m currently looking for a mentor to help guide me during this time. Also, if anyone is willing to look over my resume and give me tips on how to make it more presentable for recruiters in DA that would be very helpful. Thanks

What was the coolest work related party/ event you have been at, pre/post Covid?

Got a promotion about a year ago, but due to covid they couldn’t give me the momey to go with it. Due to everyone quitting, my workload has just been non stop, nights, weekends, holidays, etc. so I’m asking for another title change, but is it too much to ask for another raise to go with it?

I just got an offer for freelance CD position I know was offered to a buddy at $105k/yr with full bennies — my hourly rate is $125 - curious to see what people think would be a reasonable agreement…
1. Straight hourly (painful to manage on my side)
2. Set weekly hours (16 is manageable) - essentially just a $1k day rate.
3. Something else?

Our Digital marketing team is very small: Myself and the Digital Manager. I’m starting to feel that my manager is handing off projects that should be his responsibility and are projects that he doesn’t want/know how to do. Most are very analytical/reporting base, and frankly I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen him complete a reporting deck for the year that we’ve worked together. I’m starting to wonder what he even works on as he has enough time to have many hallway chats throughout the day.

Could you share any information I should be aware of in-terms of levels, compensation, stocks, etc?

Im attracted only to guys with dry humor. Not the overly talkative kind; just sophisticsted chill level. The kind of guy that can make fun of me all the time (without being mean). My ex was an introvert too and I miss being with someone who liked his alone time as much as I do. Anyone over 30, in NYC and looks like Colin Jost?

Not sure if this has been asked before but what are your billable expectations, what year are you, and what size firm are you at?

I have been lurking on fishbowl for a bit and it seems that my billable expectations at my small firm are too high (1850). I don’t hit them but neither does anyone else including senior associates / partners. Anyways, my boss is using that as an excuse to not give me a raise - so any insight you could provide would be helpful!

Home office preference question. I am getting ready to redo the layout of my home office. One option I'm considering would have my desk facing a wall. I am wondering if anyone with this current setup has any feedback about it. I would face the wall so that I would have a better background for video conferences (am on about half the day) and also my cord situation would be cleaner.
