Want to move back into freelance - is there a marketplace or placement agency? I really hate LinkedIn. I haven’t had to network since well before Covid and it’s a whole new world.

obligatory post: how will COVID impact human capital? The types of work we do, factors in making a healthy organization, etc.

How was work from home in Deloitte before COVID?

Business practice: "can you guys build a model that overlays where Coronavirus is going to break out with client sites"

Any way we can support the covid 19 crisis in India? Any orgs that take foreign donations?

Did you get an increment during covid year?

I have a CoPR but no PR cards and currently in US. Can I travel to Canada via road? Are borders closed for PR holders due to covid?

Anyone taken the GD test after having covid recently? I have my test in 10 days and I'm currently recovering from covid.

Is it possible to sell and transfer my bike to the buyer without physical RC? I have a copy from DigiLocker.

Background story: it was a newly purchased second hand bike, before receiving the RC COVID started and I returned to my hometown. So never received it and I’m sure the RTO is not going to handover me the RC easily.

Saw this in another bowl so thought I’d do one here 😅

I am SCM analyst. Covid seems to have impacted the SCM industry a lot. Share if you’re comfortable and give a little background of your career journey / advice if you’ve been in the industry for 5+ years

With the whole COVID situation, is the IELTS validty for 2 years still stringent? I have not gottent the ITA yet, due to limited draws and relatively higher cutoff. Are they giving extensions or anything?

Need info on SAP Job titles/levels at Microsoft, Out of Desperation during Covid I joined Deloitte as a Consultant (one level above an entry level Analyst) with 5 YOE. Microsoft is offering me a position of Software Engineer. I don’t want to make the same mistake as I did when I joined deloitte but the next level Software Engineer 2 requires 8 YOE so a little confused here on what job title matches my YOE and skillset

Anyone have with recent experience interviewing/hiring with FP? Most of what I found online is from pre-covid but it sounds like things might have changed a bit.

Is anyone changing their retirement plans based on COVID-19 realities and the future of work.

I have a job offer in Australia and the company is offering to apply for a TSS visa for me. But they can't give me any idea on timeline. I've heard anything from a month to 9 months. Has anyone here gone through this and knows how long it would take during Covid times?

Masks at open houses?

With flu season (and COVID season?) just around the corner, I’m thinking of asking buyers to mask up at showings. Good idea or am I going overboard?

Say I had a “friend” who gained 15 Covid lbs but is still on dating apps with old pics. Is that considered catfishing? She’s not overweight, but not fit anymore. Still good looking...she suspects. Is it best to update the pics? Or get on a BBW dating app? Definite fear of rejection at meeting. Thank God I’m asking for a friend because this shits embarrassing to type.

It’s been two weeks since my final interview and no update. Does anyone know if all jobs were cancelled or postponed due to COVID this month of June

Got an interview for a SOX revenue analyst position at a public company any tips?

Accenture fish willing to refer?

My boss in my creative agency threatened to fire me because I, a male, came into work with my nails painted.

Hi Guys
I have 6.5+ YoE in production support working for Barclays Bank IB portfolio. Can I get any referrals for BNY. Skill set Autosys, Unix scripting, SQL, Jira, Agile methodology, ITRS, Nolio, User & Application support, adept at incident, change and problem management areas.

I made an offer to a candidate today. It feels really good to make that phone call and hear the other person being happy.

Finally, closure. I now understand the "not creative enough" feedback from McKinsey.

I know, too soon! Tasteless, Smug, Self Gratification, False Self Conciliation..... Haha

Seriously, shout out to all the great people at Mck having to suffer from the stupid actions of a few. It will blow by soon. Keep your heads up!

Hi Fishes,
Need 11 likes for DM. Pls help me out & thanks in advance.

I’m an MS Management Student graduating in June 2023. I applied to over 40 positions within the Big 4/MBB and even with extensive networking, I haven’t heard back from any really. I have an offer from a pretty well-known but less prestigious Consulting Firm, but I’m wondering what my chances even are of going Big 4/MBB if I’m not a campus hire. Will they even consider me for an experienced hire a year or two down the road if they showed no interest this time? Any advice welcome!

Best hotel in Phoenix? Prefer Marriott but open to others if it’s a great spot.

Is Deloitte USI specifically in Oracle Cloud Technology, Is it doing layoffs? Level Senior Consultant

YOE:1
I have just started my journey in Salesforce and I have started working on Salesforce Vlocity. Order management to be specific. I wanted to know what are the opportunities and what kind of job market is there in Salesforce/Vlocity.

Also is it good for learning to start off with Vlocity/Order Management right off cause it is a bit confusing for me.

Some guidance would be useful

How long does it take to hear back for additional FDD interviews after you had your first interview (with just one person)? Assuming they are going to line up more interviews.

Pretty sad, No one is responding here in this bowl 🙂

How Continuum BA is different than BOA India Entity in terms of Work/Pay/WLB ? Is CBA Service based like Big4 or Captive.

Please give some insights.

Anyone going to church every week in NYC?

Anyone else hear hints of Hayley Kiyoko in I Forgot That You Existed?

Anyone celebrating 4/20 in West La?

Hedge fund or VC route?

How is CBA Bangalore in terms of Work Culture and Work Life Balance ? Is company expecting to work from office?

How does the referral system work? Should I apply from the website and then ask for a referral or is there a chance to ask for an employee to refer internally? Would the latter option be considered ahead of the first option?

Anyone looking for a good accountant for freelancers? (I have one.)

1099 or w-2 ? I have been given the option though the company prefers w-2. It’s a day rate booking couple of months or more (no end date). I already have 1099 from similar company this year and am leaning towards 1099, but I don’t want to be difficult. I do take home office deduction and they are not supplying any equipment. Suggestions?

A former studio I worked for submitted some my work for consideration for an award, but I’m mis-attributed in the awards credits for something I didn’t do. What should I do?

Does your freelance rate fluctuate? What factors affect it; length of assignment, size of agency, remote v. on-site, etc?

Is there a list of agencies and clients that don’t pay on time or at all? If not, can we start one here?

Dear Recruiters,

Please keep reaching out. It’s great. But please also tell your bosses that your job and mine are both made easier when you’re empowered to discuss basics like hourly commitment and rate with me.

Hate to be this guy, but I don’t have time to send my resume, portfolio, experience, availability, and hourly rate to your boss, only to find out that the role is 40 hrs a week when I barely have 10 to give. That’s what LinkedIn/my website is for.

Friendly reminder folks- don’t work for Havas Health and You. They cut the freelancers hourly rates, again and made it so there’s no OT. The resource manager at HOV said if I couldn’t swing $80 an hour as an HCP copywriter, she’d have to find someone else. Good luck 👍🏻

Freelancing for the first time next week. What are some of the less obvious benefits? Also, are you treated differently in agency settings/company culture?

Has anyone had a client (agency) just not pay? If so, what steps did you take to get them to do it? They were already late before COVID and now they’re just not responding. Any recos?

Trying to avoid paying an accountant, can I actually write off home office space/mileage if I was just permalancing for 3 months last year? Shouldn’t the 7 months of W2 take care of this 1099 shit?

Pharma CD here. What’s a normal rate I should ask for? Never done FL before.
