When theres a recession coming lol

like

My concern is less about difficulty of work and more around moving/arbitrary metrics. I've had jobs where I was top 10% for production and QA, but got a substandard evaluation because my boss really cared about how many people saw me on a video call. Which of course directly impacted my bonus. Even when I pointed out that video calls has zero benefit for the company or client and that I was double the production of my average peer, I was told "too bad."

Another reminder these companies don’t care about us despite us killing it in our jobs. Also, some bosses are beyond incompetent, crazy how much power they have.

Consistency. I’ve done sales. I have made top rank in my region. But nothing compares to a consistent paycheck.

I work strictly commission and wouldn’t have it any other way. I remember starting out, though and the fear of the unknown got me! I have to remember that consistency is key and I love my freedom

It could be better, but it also could be worse especially if you’re just starting out and have to build a book of business/pipeline. It could take months to get a first meager paycheck, and a lot of folks don’t have enough savings to hold them indefinitely until they start earning. Unless there was an assurance for some amount of money coming in (or I had 0 bills and lived with my parents) I wouldn’t take a 100% commission job just because I’m too risk averse and the worst outcome is I make nothing.

Job security. Always hear about sales ppl getting cut. I get there’s a quota expectation but just seems risky. It’s a shame because I think I’d be really good at it.

I was just talking to a younger friend who goes to Cal and It seems like the kids these days hate FAANG or at least Amazon and Facebook are not desired at all. I personally don’t see too many issues working at either Amazon or Facebook because I work at Deloitte where I’m sure we have many questionable clients and worked in financial services before. Curious on whether people are thinking about the ethics of their exit company when deciding to move?

Has anyone ever posted a general marketing position? We have an open position on our marketing team but we are unsure what type of position to offer. We have a wide variety of needs but don’t necessarily need to have this future person have all these skills. For example we need someone with great copywriting skills and also need someone who is great at digital marketing. This person doesn’t necessarily need to have both skills but if they did great, but if only one, great too.

Hi guys,

I switched 20 days back to Optum. I have 7 years of experience working as a full stack Engineer, who is passionate working on both front end and back end on latest technologies. But my project is working only on back end with 10 years old tech stack. There is no front end work at all. What should I do?
I don't like working here at all, but I am not sure whether moving out again in a month will give bad Impression on my resume. Hence please give me advice on this situation
