Westchester NY to Stamford CT - where can I get a job in PR there? Been in the agency world for a decade and want to loose my commute to the city.

Do you feel like less priveleged folks at your company get more opportunities?

I got into marketing because I thought it would be an opportunity to make good money in a field where I could still exercise my creativity, but I’ve found it to be extremely stifling and bogged down by bureaucracy. Does it ever get better?

Hi fishes
Can anyone from Infosys comment on avg hike per year?
Role - lead consultant JL6
What is the max they can offer for this position as per your knowledge?

Anyone who has started up a side hustle whilst working in consulting - is it generally a good idea to let your employer know or will they make your life difficult/try to push you out if they know?

(Context - I need the extra income to have a shot at affording grad school, I work for a small boutique, job contract was ambiguous on the issue. Side hustle is selling stuff I make as a hobby on Amazon)

Thanks!

A colleague just "shamed me" about the size of my engagement ring. My fiance is a wonderful, hardworking guy who bought me a beautiful ring. I'd take a great guy over a large ring any day.
