Was reached out to by a recruiter for Meta for a manager in media gig. Can anyone provide insight for the company? Good, bad, and ugly? Is there really no work life balance at Meta?

That’s just weak minded garbage. It’s bullshit thinking like this that makes it possible for these evil billionaires to enslave us all and burn the world.

They laid off 5% and publicly labeled them all as low performers, so there’s that

From what I hear the pay is good, probably sucks to work there but likely a very good stepping stone if you’re looking to move vendor-side

Hi!
I really need help. Please refer me. Anything in inside sales or operations.

I am a Reliability Maintenance 3P contractor for Amazon. I graduated with my Bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering on June 2022. I’ve been working with Amazon for a year, but there’s a lack of prospective EE positions within the company. The job postings I see are either less or barely above my current salary. I’m not sure if staying longer is beneficial for my future career as an Electrical engineer. I plan on getting my FE license within the next 6 months. Any suggestions will be appreciated

Stern is way more than a finance school. Given its location, do you want to spend your 2 years in a rural area or heart of Manhattan? Location is almost everything for business school. (I have a friend in Cornell that frequently travels about 5 hours to NYC for events.)

I read a lot of posts here about difficult bosses, difficult clients, difficult partners, terrible briefs and terrible agencies. All that might be true. But it’s getting old. What I’d be interested in hearing about are the stories of how people have overcome the challenges. How did you sell that big idea? How did you fix a relationship? The world is not going to get easier. So maybe we can help each other get better at dealing with it. Who had a win recently? How did you do it?

Anybody have any tips on how to go about the relocation conversation? I’m looking to move out of the city with our main office to a city with a much smaller office. With post-covid office culture I can’t imagine it’s that big of an ask.
