What are other people's weekend hours like? Mine are starting to get ridiculous

New in my market and just got review feedback that said “this region (the South) is more passive aggressive, we don’t do well with people (I.e. you, from up north) who shoot straight. You’ll also do..

How to broach taking time during the day for Ramadan for myself as a junior consultant - on a COVID related engagement so I’m reluctant if it’ll be received well...
Also how much time is okay to ask for?

Throughout my career, I have worked at both “traditional” and “digital” shops. My current agency would fall under traditional but also offers digital services. Our process, roles and skillsets seem way outdated but I wasn’t sure if it was just my opinion or if this is just how it works. For example, we have no CTO or tech leads. Our digital producers feel more like project managers than actual producers. Account Management is just traditional, no real digital knowledge. Feels layered and dated.

Trying to open an account on TreasuryDirect to buy i bonds, and I am required to get an authorized certifying officer to sign a form to complete the process to open an account. Anyone know what that is? I went to my bank and asked, they don’t think they can sign it 🧐

I am in the process of finishing up my MBA but considering also getting my SPHR or PHR cert. Is it even worth it or a waste of time and money?

I see two crowds these days. One thinks housing market will crash. The other thinks housing market will soar.

The contrarian in me makes me think this is a decent indication that housing market will stagnate (or increase minimally) for a few years.

As a general rules, I feel like the majority cannot foresee a crash/surge coming. The prevalence of such expectations would hamper the pre-conditions necessary for such a dramatic change.

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day!!

Has anyone left an integrative MBB role for a more technical data science role? Has that helped increase the comp/wlb ratio?

Feeling like I’ve been “bait-and-switched”…

I’ve been interviewing at an agency with the intention of filling a Director role. Recruitment reached out soon after my last meet-and-greet interview (about 6 to 7 people total) to tell me the team thinks I would be best suited for an Associate Director role with a fast follow of a Director promotion.

Recruitment can’t tell me what feedback is creating this gap but also won’t stop mentioning the positive praise and feedback the team had for me.

Can I still get a job if I struck out of recruiting this year but got a balling review and a third year?

Is a 2hr commute to work viable?Maybe not every day of the week.

Opinions on headshots? Should I get one?

To the people that dump loads of $$$ on mobile or computer games as a way to chill after a crazy day, why do you do it? I am thinking there has to be better way to cope.

Have you ever cried for joy at work ? A promotion, a deal, something that you worked towards relentlessly, and it all finally falls in place and you break down briefly with sheer joy?
