What are some job opportunities for introverted people who don’t want to talk to people all day? I’m a BA now & I get so anxious and drained before every convo. Would QA testing be a good route? I have some experience in manual software testing but mostly everything else is BA experience. I don’t mind talking to team members or my managers but hate talking to clients and upper management :/

After 10 years on agency side, made a transition to a smaller start-up (non-agency) six months ago. Holy fcuk. Why did I wait so long?!

And, WTF do account teams actually do?! 😂

Has anyone tried the Garden Dog, the plant based hotdog from Portillo’s yet?

Should I continue to contribute to 401k roth or should I move to conventional? I contribute the max. My employer contributes 7.5% as conventional. I’m 38 and in the 24% tax bracket.

Im interviewing for a consultant developer role at a small software implementation company. I have industry experience but not in this type of role. Coming in with a masters in data analytics, what pay should I be asking for?

For those running a business or a team, I’d be curious who you first hired once the admin team was fully staffed. Jr FA? Para -planner? Analyst?

How important is the “about” section on your portfolio? I understand it’s the area where you can show a little bit more than work, but is that something we should give attention?

Test post 😊

is cognizant calling its employess to office in april?

I’ve been a project manager (delivery focused) for 8 years now and have worked across multiple companies / teams as I am a contractor. Lately I’ve been feeling really bored in my roles and not challenged enough. I’ve previously loved what I do but now I feel indifferent towards my role. I’m worried if I look for more senior PM roles I will feel the same. What other options could I explore and has anyone else had a similar experience?

What stocks should I buy today? Any suggestions for good ones

Agency recruiters, how would you rate today’s market for creatives? Is it more of a freelancers’ market or is it tight for everyone at the moment?

I’m quite new to data engineering , have a possible dumb question about data warehousing. I learned a lot initially about schema design to the 3NF but I’ve been reading books on facts and dimensions. Question: is loading data initially into 3NF structure and then afterwards Denormalizing a bad idea?

Hi there, I am currently working in small startup as php developer and I am B.Sc 🎓 graduate. I am confused that shall I need to do my master(MCA) or continue to get industry experience for better promotion and career growth please help me.

Glad someone created this bowl. I feel like I have been through *almost* every possible scenario out there so happy to share and learn from others.

Not exactly a fun choice but I’m trying to decide if I want to pursue an XC90 Recharge, GV80, or a Palisade Calligraphy. I have pros and cons in the comments, but would appreciate any insight here as I’m sure many of you have made a similar decision.

Hello there.
I am a junior front end developer(2+ years) and doing my Masters in Information Systems now. How possible is it to find a remote job at UK?? Living at Greece and working for company at UK. Except freelancing...

When do you tell employers during your job search that you have been laid off?

I feel like there are days where I have control on my anxiety and then other days it just takes over. I’m trying my best to not let it get to me…idk if it’s because of my BC but I’ve been trying to meditate, journal and practice breathing exercises but it’s been tough.

Hi bowlers,

I've been at my job for 1 year, and partner up with a lot of different stakeholders. My manager doesn't give me any support and guidance.

For the last 6 months, some senior stakeholders demand solutions relentlessly and will make rude/sarcastic comments about me in large meetings.

I thought I'd just suck it up and take it in my stride, but it's really impacted me mentally. My manager is friends with them, and I know will not help.
Should I quit or am I thin skinned?

It’s so hard to make friends. I just want to meet chill people..

My biggest fear is that all the energy, effort, caring, fights, struggles, and work I have put into all my life, that I will end up having accomplished nothing or real value and will be alone.

Then I look around and realize im already there.

Just failed on an easy analysis. Can’t deal with having so tight timelines for accurate analysis plus everything else on my plate. How do you deal with failure? I feel like I will never make it

What do you do when you wanna kill your yourself when you wake up each morning and when you sleep each night, I wish I was exaggerating, but I feel like life is rigged against me. I’m a middle class Asian autistic guy, nobody wants to date, my parents are disappointed in me because I only make 90k, I barely have friends, I tried therapy and antidepressants, they didn’t work, what’s the point of life when you feel like an outcast every single day

I was diagnosed with major depression around 4 years ago. Told I’d have to be on antidepressants for 3-5 years. Sometimes I have severe depressive episodes. Recently it’s been impacting my work performance. I’ve also started taking more sick days as a coping mechanism since being at work seems to make it worse, especially granted I’m working with a d*ck of a manager. Always been a high performer (before this period, which really sucks). Really want to quit but don’t have a new job yet.Advice pls

I’m depressed. Nothing unique about my depression - I’m in big law, my career defines me, when I’m not working I can’t find the will to get off the couch, I’m sad or I’m numb…I know I’m the only one that can make a change to my life…I’m on antidepressants. Just extremely unmotivated and paralyzed. Self-help books are not for me, but I am curious - has anyone tried a guided depression/anxiety journal? Any recommendations if so? Or, if you have experienced the same, what steps did you take?

Hey people, I’m looking to get some ergonomic tech for my new job , where they are giving me a MacBook Pro. Does anyone have suggestions for a mouse and an external keyboard? I have a set that I use for my current computer, which is a Lenovo thinkpad, but not sure it will be compatible. I have multiple herniated discs , so trying to be set with my wfh station before starting 🤞 I’m so excited for my role but my neck injury is a huge source of anxiety and discomfort for me

I gave my 2 wks notice yesterday and said I need to take time off to take care of my mental health. Management told me that today is my last day, and that they typically do this when people (cont)

I’ve been living away from fam since 11 and miss all of them all the damn time these days.

How do you find a therapist? I’ve never done this before, and all the acronyms and different licenses are super confusing. What kind of provider should I be searching for?

Those of you in therapy.. how do you fit in your sessions? It’s extremely difficult to find availability right now and I finally found a therapist who has Mondays at noon. I blocked it off on my calendar and then my boss scheduled a meeting for that time 🙄 I don’t really feel comfortable telling her why I have to go to an appointment every other week but I also don’t want her to keep ignoring my blocked off hour!

I just desperately don’t want to feel alone. I feel like I’m surrounded by people (work, gym, mall) but no one knows that I’m here and just want to be acknowledged and listened to.

I am anxious because something big is uncertain and I can’t have any clarity on it until Monday and bad things have happened over and over again in the past year so I think they will happen again.

How I sometimes wish I could cry and just finally be able to let it all out.

Not sure if it’s meds or a subconscious emotional suppression + stigma associated with men crying, but man! It’s been a long time since I cried, and it gets really frustrating at times because I want to cry but just am not able to.

Working with a therapist too but still not able to open up on this front, so to speak.

I am so unhappy and I dont know what to do. It’s difficult to keep pretending to be happy at work and in my relationships

Been through some tough times before, but today’s really breaking me. Have great friends and people around me but I can never see them anymore. Miss my family. Now sitting in the bathroom crying

Unsure if I’m just lazy or depressed. I am so, so burnt out all the time. Evenings? Can barely work up the energy to leave my desk and commute home. Weekends? Just want to stay at home. What is this?
