What has happened in the past year at the circus? The placement rate went from 99 to 92 in three years. Did they lose faculty? Is it just those particular students didn't take it seriously?

Stats are fake. They only graduate people who they think will get jobs/already have jobs. Else you don’t meet the “requirements” to be considered a graduate. I know people who were told they wouldn’t graduate, then got a job, then all of a sudden they were considered a graduate. Also know someone who they didn’t tell couldn’t graduate until the day of graduation bc his work wasn’t good enough.

Yes, Graduating from the Circus gives you negotiating power you wouldn’t have if you went somewhere else.

Considering the students of Chicago Portfolio School were evicted in the middle of class last fall, I’d say the bar is low but Circus is still top tier.

I hate the question the quality of the school bc I'm sure it's great no doubt but I'm just curious.
-cw considering applying very soon

Just had a compensation discussion with my manager. I work at a big fortune 50 company. I met expectations and got back my compensation review receiving a 3% merit increase.

My boss knows I’m disappointed, and I asked to setup a follow up convo. We talked about inflation being 7.5% and I’m losing purchase power.

Other details:
Started last Jan 2021
Switching to a new role in a few weeks (manager said to talk to my new manager, LOL)
But we only have compensation adjustments once per year

We were going to go on a hike and had a hotel booked for a night. Texted him 5 min before arrival and when i was there to pick him up. He hopped in the shower. I got annoyed that he did that because i communicated beforehand to be ready. He didnt like that and said that he thinks that i think my time is more important than his... he canceled the trip and we are not speaking because of this incident... Am i crazy or something?
