Hey There,
Currently working as Electrical engineer in medical device company. Been applying to few battery and electrical engineering jobs at amazon in seattle and california locations. If anyone could provide referral for the job, that would be very helpful.

Australian 🐟 - how's wlb in Australia? It's a long shot but might be looking at a potential move... Mostly within consulting itself though.
Looking for some general perspective - is it grinding till there's no tomorrow like in consulting in US? :)

Anyone joining accenture with this week? Please dm

For anyone that left consulting to work in product management. How is it? How is the work? Wlb - people - culture .. etc

Be honest, does company name matter. Looking to exit and some nice startups have approached me. They have less than a 100 employees. Pay is double my current pay.

5th year with the company, C3, level 9 going level 8 soon (CD&O), NYC, base 117k - where am i in the pay band? Switching companies, trying to figure out how much to expect/ask

Going from 165 as an ACD to 210 as a CD? Is that about right?

Fresh grad, just started work in the US (~1 month in) but want to move back to Dubai due to personal reasons. Will hitting the 6m mark (1y won’t be possible - immigration) be helpful? (Cont)

Can we start a thread of the most toxic firms? Include firm name, location, and department (if this was a large company).

What is the official notice period of Paypal?

It is in appropriate to ask what the compensation for a position is after a first interview if they want you to go on three more and the interviewers on my first told me that was above their pay grade to tell me?????

Seems kind of ridiculous for a business to want to waste so much time to find out after a handful of interviews that the pay isnt aligned with my needs ......

I can see in biglaw not bringing up knowing damn well if you get an offer itll likely be high, but this is a midsize

Was hired shortly after graduating in mid-May. Any other new hires willing to talk about their experiences joining a company/organization during the pandemic? Most of my friends were either hired for big companies last summer, or have decided to put off job hunting until the market is less messy.

I work for a manager who was an IC for 20 y, and now is making all the classic new manager mistakes. Meanwhile, I left consulting as an EM, so actually have more management experience than him (cont)

Okay hear me out - been wanting to start a side hustle/business/startup for a while now as it’s a cool learning opportunity and I want that kind of passion. just don’t really have any good ideas....how do I brainstorm and come up with meaningful ideas?

I have an offer from PWC India and a top Indian insurance company. How do I choose which is better?@

Sometimes I want to start arguments because I’m bored.

I’m in the middle of moving by myself. I’m job hunting, because I lost my last one. My relationship has basically imploded. I sleep a lot on a fucked up schedule because I’m depressed but I can’t afford help, and I only get it when insomnia gives me a break. I’m so done and over all of this. I have so many heavy regrets. Idk how to carry all of this.

I love my SO. We’ve been together for nearly a decade and are talking marriage. I know being with him though will require living far from my family. I love my family and dread the thought of being far from them. My SO has been transparent about wanting to return to his home country. I don’t want to lose him but I also dread being far from my family. What’s the right call here? Fwiw he’s lived in my home country for about a decade now but has been able to visit his pretty easily (cont)

Beer is now cheaper than gas. Drink more, drive less 🤧

Sometimes when my spouse snores i’l flick them real hard and they will wake up panicked and I’ll say “ are you okay? It was just a dream a bad dream...shhh just sleep” and then they will calm down and fall back asleep with less of a snore 🥴

One of my best friends growing up just passed away. We lost contact with each other a year or two after graduating high school and I recently came to learn he was was battling cancer the past 5 years and ultimately succumbed to the illness. He hid it well from everyone and led a very private life during it all. To make matters worse, he had just turned 25. Seeing pictures of the condition he was in towards the end of his fight broke my heart. I wish I had known so I could’ve been there for him.

Anyone else here just chooses not to eat when too lazy to cook? 😅

When I was hired, I don't recall being informed about my salary being tied to my location. My employment contract also only makes one mention of location, and says "home office" and my state. I was recently told by HR though that if I move, my comp. will be lower. Is this legal? Should I consult a labor lawyer?

In my mind, I don't recall being told this and it's not clear from my employment contract, so I feel like they're breaking our agreement, and it feels unfair.

Thoughts on what to do?

I’m irritated ALL the time and it’s ruining my relationship. What’s wrong with me? lol should I just start smoking weed or get on an anti depressant?

I just want to sleep. . 🥹

Does anyone else get super emotional when ending a trip? I’ve been working remote in a place for quite some time and leave soon. I find myself constantly on the brink of tears. What is wrong with me lol

Inebriated thought...What if rhinos are simply unicorns that let themselves go?

I’ve been single for so long my last ex had time to find someone else, get pregnant, have a baby and now they’re engaged. And I’m sitting here watching Footloose

Having a sad night 🥲

What’s a pet peeve of yours that a coworker or client does? Mine is that my coworker says “ya know” after literally every sentence they say

I was so focused on my career pre pandemic and had a plan to really start dating the summer I turned 27 but then the pandemic happened 😅

I’m hoping my anti-depressants will help give me a kick to start looking for a new job. I honestly don’t have anything else left and I’m still sad.

Mom went back to home country and I’ve been moping around holding back tears all day! Tell me it’s gonna be ok, I miss my mom 😭😭

What work/life event (if any) made you arrive to the conclusion “this is just a job”? How old were you? At what point in your career / How many years of tenure?
How did your attitude towards work and work-life balance change?
Have you ever revisited or regretted your conclusion? Why/why not?

Something has been bothering me for a long time and I want to get it off my chest.

My firm does upward feedback and I asked about 10 of my team to participate so that I could be a better supervisor for them. My results: I got mostly great feedback with constructive points, however along with it I received the meanest, most cold hearted criticism I’ve ever seen (con’t in comments).
