What are your hobbies outside of work? I make rap songs that I never upload and do muay thai, but I'm looking for new hobbies that'll make my life more interesting.

I just received a good offer to move from ID to PI. The only thing is the firms main offices are in other cities in my state. In order to bring me on, they offered to create my office at their current office space in my city (currently only used to meet clients) and hire a paralegal to be with me. This is obviously super accommodating. My question is what do you think about me working by myself? A great way to avoid toxic office BS or kind of lonely? WWYD?

PWC RevCycle group - thoughts?

Litecoin is stable AF lately

I feel like I’m in a vicious cycle. I think people in my practice group don’t like working with me, and that when I make mistakes they are held against me where I’m not given room to grow. My whole group talks badly about the associates who are still learning/make mistakes, so I know that these mistakes I’m making are being said about me too. Partners in my group make an effort to get to know other associates but not me. Anxiety is causing my happiness and work product to slip. What do I do?

I have never come across as rude as tcs onboarding team HR. . Tata Consultancy They are literally incapable of handling of a crowd of 100 people and. I am surprised how they are planning to onboarding avg of 200 people on single day. They take individual's questions and start answering with statement like can't you understand I am not here for this purpose with very rude tone and in a crowd of more than 200 people. . Tata should take care of these type of HRs

Asking for general inquiry: Can in the long term the economy and retirement system as is set up survive. Growth and retirement in the US is heavily influenced by an growing population. By all estimates, well peak at a global population around 2050 and then start slowly declining. Without growth in population how will the market and the economy realistically grow?

agency vs in-house? young creative who has agency experience already and is now mid-level looking into making the switch.

I’ve been at my agency for almost 3 years now and recently got promoted from junior level to mid-level. I discovered copywring my senior year of college and got hired right after I graduated. I’ve learned a lot from my job and think I’ve improved as a copywriter, but I often feel like I’m struggling to keep my head above water. I want to keep improving my skills and work on some more exciting projects. I’m considering doing an online portfolio school like Adhouse, but wondering (cont.)
