I had been applying to Amazon for remote EA positions for well over a year without one invitation to interview until a couple of weeks ago, I was contacted by an Amazon recruiter to interview for an on-site EA position.

How many of you are considering a shift away from London post-pandemic? Will remote working make it easier to do consulting jobs that are currently London based from outside the city? Will our firms and clients encourage this trend, or block it? The answers will depend on your individual context but I’m interested in how others are thinking about their own situations

Hi any update on TCS 2025 model or how will it be .

Interviewing for Deloitte GPS. Was at another firm (commercial) then in banking. They’re talking Spec Master. I like the specialist track. Is $135k too much to ask? Would be lateral but that’s okay.

Hi Fishes,

I have one query.
What's the role of Basic Salary in our CTC structure?

Is there any advantage if it's higher or vice versa.?

I was asked to review and sign off on work papers I am not comfortable with and didn’t work on. If the work papers are not in good shape then to remove signatures before archiving. What should I do?

How many times has an interviewer no-showed and the recruiter profusely apologizing on their behalf?
Happened to me with Mindtree recruiter, for an IoT leadership position where the interviewing VP chose to no show twice… after which I thanked the recruiter that I was impressed by their book of busi-ness and that it was intimidating to be thinking about the prospect of working for Mindtree… as I’m too incapable for those performance standards… 😂😂

Like me, you have dated a million times and yet can’t seem to get it right. If you have ever wondered, whether in silence or out loud, “what’s wrong with me?”, this book is for you. I’ve heard a million times that communication is the key to a successful relationship. However, nobody taught me what effective communication is. How many conversations have I had in my head that lead to a conclusion without ever involving the other party? Countless! If this resonates, this book is for you.

Does anyone filed green card with Deloitte consulting before? How long it takes from start to 140 approve?

Are you really a CEO if you don’t have a board of directors? Wouldn’t you just be the President? I see so many startups with people calling themselves CEO of their 5 person company.

I currently work in risk assurance and have a strong background in data analytics. I’m not really sure what my options are looking forward or where to look. Any ideas?

This question might anger some, but not meant to be provoking. Does anyone else feel that half the jobs in tech (scrum master, project manager, product manager, etc.) are more hindering than helpful? I feel like productivity would sky rocket if we didn’t have 10+ hours a week added of admin work/agile ceremonies/status meetings, and you just let developers and analysts do their job. Why are we spending hours learning how to estimate story points (for example) rather than improving production?

Can you counteroffer the VA? Is that even a thing? I’m curious to know how this works.

Anyone else struggling? My wife is pregnant with morning sickness and we have a toddler so I am basically doing everything In between working. Feel like I’m about to break.

Guy i was talking to for months: i kept making it clear i dont want a casual hookup (we’re both in our 30s so we’re mature enough)- he said “same here and here is why this is not a hookup for me either” multiple times.1st met up in apt. Had fun but no hookup. 2nd time we hooked up (both tested for antibodies) because we both just wanted to out of immense loneliness and cant go out on a date. Texting reduced suddenly(from daily to none). I was still nice about it, asked if he wants to not talk &.

Does anyone have any tips or recs to wean off of daily ambien use? I have severe insomnia to the point that I will not fall asleep at all if I don’t take ambien — sometimes even so I struggle with sleep. I have no luck with melatonin and “sleep hygiene” exercises don’t cut it either. Feel at a loss because I can’t lose productivity at work if I don’t sleep at all during the prior night. Any help is much appreciated!

Confused if parents want schools to reopen or not? I read so many posts here about how difficult it is to work full time and manage kids’ at-home schooling (I can’t even imagine!) so would assume that means parents want to reopen, but at the same time keep seeing a ton of backlash from parents in states who are pushing to reopen due to safety reasons. What’s the general consensus?

Dog moms and dads: My dog has always had anxiety, but it’s gotten a lot worse lately because people around me like fireworks. If I bring her into my bedroom, even if it’s quiet outside, she starts panicking. Anyone found any soothing remedies for your pup? The thunder jacket doesn’t really help.
