Hello anyone reading this! I wanted to ask for any realistic, recommended job positions from someone with more knowledge and experience. I am graduating this December with my BBA and am ready to leave the job I’m in now. I’ve been applying for a range of positions I qualify for and nothing so far, which I expected. I have 3 years of experience in management operations but also have 6 years of experience with child care, is that why I may be getting rejected? Maybe I’m overthinking my resume? 😅

Which would you pick:

Range Rover Classic (c. 1992)

OR

Hummer H1 (c. 2003)

Are you a female?

Looks like some bonus numbers are coming out for bankers, would appreciate any insights!

Anyone have a ticket for Meduza at district this Saturday and not going anymore? It’s $57 now with fees and that’s too much. Might as well buy the VIP which is $80 w fees but that is probably a huge scam so guess I’m not going

For those who have done reverse engineering, what is the most intriguing object you've worked with?

12 years experience as a software developer. How much package should I expect from a MNC company in Toronto, Ontario, Canada?

Pros/cons of having both a manager and senior manager on a job?

Small firm (my boss, me, & a paralegal). After a hearing I did not handle, boss intended to seek review of the ruling in its entirety. What was communicated to me by paralegal was to seek review of a portion.

Seeking review is now time-barred. Boss is not upset, but this is 1 case & 1 problem. There are other cases & other stories.

How do I talk to my boss about being more present (boss is never in office, has “too many” emails, never answers his phone) without being seen as insubordinate?

How much CTC to expect for Team Lead and Solution Architect position in @EPAM (YOE: 12+, Skills: .NET)?

I have a sneaky suspicion a lot of these interesting links from ‘Art Director’ is one person...or an impressive Art Director Collective - either way, these are great - thank you.

I recently got offer from ey gds for 23 lpa, currently having 7 years of experience, good to join at this package or should negotiate with HR?

I’m currently interviewing for an AS role which would be a bit of a pay cut, but I’ll get to learn a lot so I’m interested. Any tips on how to approach the negotiation convo if/when that comes, besides asking to at least meet me halfway re:salary? They already provide unlimited PTO and free health benefits(which is nice).

I promise you, whatever you have to tell me as I sit down with my lunch is not as important as eating my lunch.

Pretty over agency life, best brands to go client-side?

Any agencies that have a good reputation, but suck when you actually work there? Wonder why that happens?

Dumb question.. what’s the proper etiquette for when you get a job through a recruiter who reached out to you first? A simple thank you email, a Starbucks gift card, etc?

Today my boss told me I need to work on showing my frustration directly to people. She mentioned a meeting THREE weeks ago where, during a meeting, I said one single thing that showed I was unhappy with not being included in a particular meeting (for a project I was leading), and my tone made it clear I was unhappy about it. She said the person I “called out” didn’t even bring it up to her; it was what she “noticed.” Cont’d...

Is it normal for every single call (client or internal) everyone dials in from their desks at an open format office? Everyone avoids takings calls together/conference rooms like the plague.

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .

Nice Ronald McDonald spot, Subway. Enjoy your cease and desist letter tomorrow morning!

Hi fellow fishies - loaded question but does anyone know of any agencies (ideally in NYC) that are open to visa sponsorship? I have a good friend and former coworker who is a KICKA$$ account lead and is struggling to find a new role (needle in a haystack for sponsorship... ugh). Current place is beyond toxic. Any info/advice appreciated! Thank you 😊

Anyone have a recommendation for books or resources on upping my sales game? Open to in person class, online class, books, etc!

“have fun with this brief” they say before telling you the client is pretty conservative and needs to have safer options.

i know we don’t always work on stuff we’re thrilled about but i’ve never dreaded reviews for a client before until now
