What does micromanaging look like to you? How do you build trust but not go ape shit when it seems like you’re being micromanaged? For context, I’m not new and I’m learning the ropes of a new firm.

The people being micromanaged do not make a move without prior approval and team efficiency tanks.

I agree with E1, I was micro managed at my previous job and finding it difficult at times because I’m waiting on instructions. It’s like “oh yeah, I will be told what to do”.
This attitude of mine is wrong and I’m slowly learning to get out of it. Being micro managed is the worst

How to build trust--> proactively come to me with an outline/plan for your work and when I ask questions about how you'll handle some risk elements, provide a thoughtful response. The goal is not to pick you apart in the questioning--it's for us to jointly solve things that may impact your ability to finish and our team's effort to be successful.

If there is no plan, then I'll let you know I need one and ask what date is reasonable. If on that date, the plan is half-assed or worse, not ready and/or your attitude communicates that you fail to see why explaining your approach to me in advance is needed, then you are going to get my plan and you are going to get daily check-ins and you are going to do things on my schedule.

Hi All... URGENTLY NEED some suggestions.

I've got a job offer in australia for 120$ Aud. Pay is good but they reached out to me via LinkedIn now all interviews done. If i accept the offer they will start my visa process. But I couldn't find the company in Google or Glassdoor reviews. It's a new startup kind of consultancy with 10-15 PPL. I can only see few linkedin posts for that company.

Is it advisable to proceed? They're not asking any money from me they are sponsoring for visa. Is it safe

I've been interviewing with some companies, and now I have to decide between JPMorgan Chase and Globant.

Globant is more innovative, and has remote work. I will enter to work with a Sillicon Valley startup based in San Francisco. The tech stack is React, Nextjs, AWS, and a serverless architecture.

JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?

Hello anyone reading this! I wanted to ask for any realistic, recommended job positions from someone with more knowledge and experience.

I have 3 years of experience in management operations but also have 6 years of experience with child care, is that why I may be getting rejected? Maybe I’m overthinking my resume? 😅

Anyone hiring those who have been out of work for a year? I took time off to tend to personal matters, but I am now looking to get back into the workforce again.

I don’t mind audit. However, I’d prefer it not to be at a B4, as I am looking for some semblance of a work life balance.

DM me if you have something above, thanks.

In general (not only during Pandemic) - If you are a fully remote (not due to COVID) worker in a high COL city (lets say NYC/LA/DC/Chicago) and move to a different city/state in the middle of no where (Montana/Puerto Rico/Alaska/Where ever).
Should your employer adjust your income accordingly per your new COL? Aside from state tax/laws/etc... Will your employer have any issues with your move?
