Told my senior manager that my vacation time starts tomorrow. He then scheduled THREE meetings for us tomorrow. Friggin jerk...

Unable to decide to leave my current company. They are actively blocking my growth and I got an offer for a title promotion, but a significant pay cut. The new job offers $100k, 26 days pto, hybrid 2/3 remote, 37.5 hours a week. My current job (7yrs) offers $102k, 42 days pto, office optional 35 hrs a week. With the new job being in CT, the increase in taxes, 3x increase in insurance premium, and travel to and from, I am looking at $700 a month pay cut. Is career advancement worth $700 a month?

What’s your PTO for the first year at a new company?

Advice, please! A former coworker in a different industry wants to talk about opportunities in my organization. We haven't talked in several years, but were friendly when we worked together.

The thing is, based on the quality of his work, I really can't recommend him. What would be a diplomatic way to convey this?

Also, If you think there's a better bowl for this query, please let me know. TIA!

Smaller fish - where do you go to get pants for work? I’m a 29 waist and 28 length, and I can’t seem to find anything.

One of the most frustrating things is having the partner “de-prioritize” your deal. They stop responding to questions, take forever to review things you’ve sent them and act annoyed when you try to follow-up. Does anyone else experience this?

Hey everyone! This bowl is geared towards all those open-mind professionals who love to cut loose when they’re not focusing on their careers. Any fun stories involving colleagues?

I wish I could tell my lead how much i like him.

PS: He's engaged.

Graduated a web dev bootcamp back in 2018. Ended up taking a non coding job and was there for 2 years (contract expired). I now want to get back into coding after a long time off, but not sure where to start and how to go about getting a job in a market saturated with entry level devs. Any advice?

Who likes to travel? Need a travel buddy? Have some PTO to use.

Happy Halloween, my fellow Tech Pros! I love this Holiday, anyone come up with a creative costume to wear at work?

Tips for giving 2 week notice at a firm where you have great relationships with everyone, and it will be entirely unexpected that you are leaving?

Just signed an offer for msft and setting a tentative start date. The manager seems flexible between a 8/1-8/15 start date. I was targeting a 8/15 start date so I could two weeks off and recharge my mental health while keeping my insurance, but the recent slowdowns and news of (very minor) layoffs at msft and other companies like Google have me seconding guessing myself. Any advice on what to do? Start ASAP or take time off and rest - 2 weeks shouldn’t change anything unless Coinbase happened

How would you request a performance review from your partner?

My coworker always takes a super long lunch. How does he have the time to get anything done?

For my US-based HR colleagues:
Are you aware that many countries in Europe have a minimum of 25 PTO + 10 public holidays?
Did you also know you could use those days to travel from country to country for 20$ or less?
Would you ever consider relocating to the EU?

How much an M1 (LoS: audit) makes in San Francisco?
And PTO, bonus?
Thanks!

Hi all,

Can I use my vacation leaves to reduce my notice period?

Thanks in advance!

I’m kind of stuck what to do. The principal at my school is very intimidating, confrontational, and not pleasant to work for. I love teaching but feel like I have to walk on egg shells around him.

I just started on a new team. I am so overwhelmed the team is all new. I feel I have to take on everything. Our strategy guy either hates me or is taking out his anger out on me. I’m so frustrated.

Whelp….came in to the office today to catch up on various projects and instead ended up hyperfixating and spent 4 hours revising a single letter.

Can somebody suggest me decent ladies pg near Ascendas, Taramani?

My confession is that I have seen the medical field change so much over the past 20 years, that it's unrecognizable in both good and bad ways. More people are leaving than staying, and I am worried the quality of care is dwindling. I try not to burden friends and family with some of the things I've seen recently, but the short version is that I'm no longer sure I have faith or trust in it myself.

So I've tested positive for Omichron. Anybody fancy a smooch?

After nearly 20 years in the military serving in T&E and HR roles, I’m considering moving on and have been conducting lots of research into consulting. BS, MA, and SPHR cert - no MBA. I’m looking for suggestions or advise about transitioning. DC Metro area is likely landing spot.

Looks like RSM is forcing people back to office

Probably won't stress over presenting to clients after seeing Mark Zuckerberg's face testifying in front of Congress.

Looking to experiment with mobile gaming and 3d animation. Any suggestions on where to fet started? Languages/frameworks/toolsets?

Not looking to do anything super fancy; just something I have zero experience in and wanted to do a POC in my freetime.

How far can you go in real estate work? I mean I see myself as an agent for many years to come, but I wonder if my job will always be tied to going from house to house and convincing people to buy houses.

Glad to find this group. Coming up on 1 year sober and every day gets better. And easier.

Is this a bad time to transition into a new job? There are open opportunities but is it too risky? Anyone here transitioned during COVID or planning to? Please share your thoughts!

Hi! Rebecca here from NJ! I teach 5th grade math and science.

The thing I'm most looking forward to? That's easy! Not eating catered Indian food for dinner 4 times a week.

Any other firm do "Bank Your Bonus" for new seniors? Or any other tactics to try and retain seniors?

Does anyone know what to expect for Senior tax manager salary PWC vs EY vs Deloitte in the DC area? (10 years of experience)

Motivational quote of the day...

Company called me on Monday to say they want to give me an offer then asked me for what my pay requirement is. They’d already asked me in the initial HR screening and informed me my number was a little over their cap and told me what their cap was. So this time I asked for $1k under the cap. Said they’d send me the offer letter after checking the pay is okay. Haven’t heard from them since lol. What the heck??!

Does anyone else feel mentally drained and generally exhausted when work is slow? I feel like the opposite should be true, but that’s just not how I operate I guess.

This is a new feeling for me. 😂

What do you guys think about the Public Sector?

Unpopular opinion: the worst part of working in public accounting is listening to people who haven’t worked a day outside Big 4 in their lives complain about how much they hate it.

Anyone else feel like public accounting is about deflecting as much responsibility as possible

More layoffs at Deloitte making me wonder if I chose the right firm. #whyohwhyhaveyouforsakenmedaddyD #ithoughtseniorlevelandaboveweresafe

Has anyone taken a US CPA exam after the Canadian CFE? Can you share your experience? Was it as hard as the initial CFE?
