Lol no. My federal clients lost their shit when I got deployed as a reservist and had to delicately tell them someone else's mission trumped their mission.

In all honesty google is tremendously supportive. There’s a really strong veteran community internally that’s very active and does frequent volunteer work.

Ya in all honesty I thought it was going to be the polar opposite but it’s not at all as political as I thought and is much more welcoming than I had thought as well.

General pulse is meh. Lot of disdain towards sundar, widening gap between leadership and the joes, and in all honesty is in a bit of a flux. Would still recommend it to most, comp and benefits are top notch, but the culture isn’t what it was.

What do you mean by veteran friendly ?

My current company. This is the only company that accepted me after I got out. They have been treating me very well and they respect me a lot.

The state government was great. Everywhere else has been meh.

All of the MBB consulting firms have exceptional veteran recruitment and development programs

Customized training modules for new start vets, $$$ for social events, vets at all levels in the firms (from partners to back office), formal inclusion in DEI programs, perspectives valued by teams, etc.

Am I crazy? I’m considering turning down an offer 3x my current comp in a city I love. I even like the company culture better at the new firm. Downside is the day to day work as they’re different industries. I really can’t see myself doing the work at the new firm long term. I get work is work but this especially leaves me unfulfilled. But feel bad turning down something that on paper seems like a no brainer. Any fishies here have advice/gone thru similar experience? Did you regret it?

Hi Fishes,
My LWD in Wipro (my previous employer) was on 21 Aug, 2021. I was waiting to receive my outstanding due and experience certificate, as part of F&F, ever since. However, I received an email from the offboarding team today stating that my Final Settlement is on on hold due to security concerns (DLP: data leakage). How is this going to play out? And much longer will it take before my F&F process is completed and I get my outstanding due and my experience certificate? Pls advice.

Hello Fam Law attys!

I am in my second year as a attorney, I was a FL paralegal before law school and would eventually like to end up there again. I am in a very small rural area, pretty much only solos, and no FL solos appear to be hiring/expanding at this time.

Do you think experience as a DA or PD would be valuable, with my eye toward a future in FL? Both for the skills gained, and/or as a resume piece?

TY!

Anyone here downshift in life post service?

Feel like I've been going full bore for the past decade and literally have no problem continuing the trend. Like I could just keep marking milestones and grinding or whatever until I die.

Wondering when if anyone else felt similar and decided to pull back and do something more relaxing. What was the catalyst, what are you doing, and are you enjoying it?

I'd considered taking up a 9-5 somewhere but not sure if thatd wear off fast.
