What’s your favorite WFH footwear? Any recommended brands for a chilly home office?

I am looking for the post made by the junior associate with the voicemail from the female partner on a Friday night telling her how stupid she is. I didn’t bookmark the voicemail and I wanted to show it to a colleague to show her there are worse bosses than ours. Lol. It was circulating a couple of months ago. I believe it was a New York firm.

Is anyone hiring for Operations Analyst, Sales Analyst or other similar entry level Analyst positions currently ? Remote would be awesome but I’d be happy with hybrid or non remote roles in the DMV area.

5th September is my last working day at Infosys. Yoe=4+ yrs
Tech= aws devops
I hold an offer of 18LPA from KPMG with joining date of 7th September. (Wfh)
I applied at Workday on 15th May and went through 7 technical rounds of interview and received a verbal offer letter of 21LPA (hybrid)
Now apparently their technical panel "forgot" about the interview and wants to have a discussion again as 8th technical interview. HR says their joining date will be 19th September.

Feeling like it's only a matter of time before I have to tell the new marketing dept head that the snazzy jargon just makes him sound like a tryhard and alienates our customer base

If buy the partners you work with regularly a holiday gift, how much do you spend? Usually I get baked goods or food items which you can’t tell the actual amount spent on. This year, though, I’d like to support local restaurants by encouraging people to order takeout—hence, giving gift cards.

How much is appropriate for a restaurant gift card from an associate to a partner?

Looking for referrals for a Technical Sales Executive position that is Remote (USA), possibly in the industrial sector. Last year I made $109k at AT&T so I'm hoping to at least stay in the same ball park but want a change. I have lots of experience selling IT/telecom, but I also have a Mechanical Engineering background so I'm a good fit for a wide range of technical sales. I have been thinking a role in the industrial sector with a longer sales cycle may be a good fit, can travel up to 25%

Is anyone’s wfh office chair getting less “springy” over time? Mine just doesn’t have the same umph it had before, constantly lowering throughout the day.

How is CITCO?

Interviewed Wednesday for an ATS role. Got positive feedback from the interviewers but haven’t heard from the recruiter. How long does it usually take to hear if you’re moving forward? Do you get a verbal first and then contract or no verbal? (I emailed the recruiter Friday asking for a timeline)

Would anyone be willing to share their resume? I’d love to see how people with 10+ years experience are framing up what they do in strategy.

Hey all, having issues with interviewing this year. I’ve been passed over every opportunity I really want and I’m unsure how to regroup and move forward. I’m really trying to break into method development roles and I haven’t had the opportunity to do so with my analytical experience. A lot of my HPLC and LCMS experience is with already established methods. Any tips?

Which is the best consultancy or agents for Canada PR ?

Curious. What's everyone's all in tax rate at year end (first and second years). Thanks. Looking for a percentage.

Has anyone received a job offer after being initially ghosted by recruiter? How long did you not hear from them? Feeling down after not hearing anything for 2 weeks after a round of seemingly promising interviews.

Is it bad to be over-utilized? I just did the math and I could charge zero hours this week and take a 3 week vacation after and still be 100% utilized? Is that abnormal?

What are the expectations in deals in terms of working (around the clock/during PTO) ? Is it true that culture is very aggressive at Pwc?

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day!!

Anyone hiring those who have been out of work for a year? I took time off to tend to personal matters, but I am now looking to get back into the workforce again. My previous experience includes time at B4 audit up to senior level and then transitioned to manager in industry. Senior/manager roles are preferred.

I don’t mind audit. However, I’d prefer it not to be at a B4, as I am looking for some semblance of a work life balance.

DM me if you have something above, thanks.

I’m currently working in a DEI role but have some interest in switching to Employee Relations. Anyone in ER that can share pros/cons of the field?

A friend of mine from a top tier consulting firm was counseled out. Do you consider it ethical that his career counselor is intentially spreading the information to his colleagues and to other consultants from other companies in the project? What can he do about it? Specially that he considers the potential layoff is purely based on the current situation (chargeability was low) and not on his performance (they said that his contribution to BD during his bench time was low)?

Who has done FSBO? Thinking of doing it for 2 of my houses that I’m selling in the spring time.

Hi Fishes,
I am a consultant with 4 YOE ( ZS + IQVIA) and 16 CTC, was thinking of switching to a product based company like lilly or something. Which are some good companies with decent wlb and good pay?

While you switching company what you expect the most from new company?

Anyone used bloom app for self CBT therapy? Is it good?

I’m currently signed on a contract for my first house for new construction that has gas heating. I have not lived in a house with this before and this entire time have been battling the anxiety of it even with detector. The house, location, and price is all everything I could dream of. Any advice on what to do in this situation?

I’m so worried I’ll get laid off. Last week I was slammed, but this week is slow, and I’m just so anxious...

How do you let a director know it’s really not professional to keep re-scheduling the meeting? This is the 4th time a new time is proposed. And it’s one of my pet peeves.

Hi, received a job offer (accepted) with about 20K increase, 30% bonus and some stock option. Controller position at a startup company. My current company countered with 30% increase, 25% bonus and stock option (already being traded) not a controller title but darn close. Kinda torn as I believe i would have more growth at my current company.

Does anyone feel like they don’t want to go back to normal? On the one hand, absolutely I want to. I miss seeing friends, dressing up, going out, and traveling for work. On the other hand I have saved so much money over the past year, spent a lot more time with family than I would have ever been able to, and actually rested and been able to focus on my wellness (started therapy and treatment for a chronic condition.)

Does receiving a ‘Does Not Meet Expectations’ on year-end review with no other next steps - In this environment - basically mean I’m on the chopping block? Should I start job hunting?

I’m totally empathetic to people that miss offices and traveling. I understand your reasons why, I truly do.

For me personally, after non-stop weekly travel for 4 straight years, not traveling has made me realize how much I enjoy being home. Spending time with family, sleeping in your own bed, consistent exercise schedule, etc.

I for one hope consulting becomes more of a hybrid travel model (i.e. travel 1-2x per month or as needed). Else it won’t be for me.

Anyways, just some thoughts.

Thoughts on pneumatic vs. electric standing desks? Does extra weight make pneumatic desks any more difficult to operate?

Good morning! I work in Medicare sales and I’m just getting tired of sales because I have to change these elderly people on their insurance very frequently, and it’s frustrating most of the time. I eventually want to be a Christian counselor and I just stared school but that’ll take awhile to get where I want to be. I just want to be happy right now without taking a major pay cut leaving sales. I’m making 80k now, I don’t need to keep making that but a decent amount while still helping people. 🙏

I’m not a sports guy, so I don’t care that sports are back.
If you do watch sports, how is it? Does it bring back any sense of normalcy?

I've had a whoop for the past 8 months and since the last firmware update it simply doesn't actively synch and it's basically junk. I switched from my old apple watch 3 because I wanted the active heart rate monitoring to help my doctor with my blood pressure and it worked amazingly well. Considering the whoop 4 is seriously backordered, what does everyone think of the Apple watch 7 coming out?

I just tested positive for COVID-19. Ask me anything you want. Anything. I’m a beacon of knowledge now and essentially a virologist l, epidemiologist, and family physician rolled into one. The power I wield over all you plebeians and proletariat is insurmountable to even the most worthy foe. Ask me my symptoms. Go ahead.

I gotta say, quarantine sucks but it made me realize I can cook my own damn steaks instead of dropping $$ for them at restaurants. All most of them do is salt and cook it. Would rather make a quick and cheap version of red wine reduction and happily eat my favorite meal.

For those with spouses or family members who feel differently about COVID, what do you do? My husband and I have been on the same page up until now with the Delta variant.

I have a phone screen with American Express. Does anyone know how many days of PTO is allotted?

You take 3 days of vacation, when you get back how many emails are in your inbox?

Asking because I genuinely want to know if what I see is common.

Any non-fiction book recommendations? I normally don’t like NF but recently read Bad Blood by John Carreyrou and loved the style/pace. Any similar recs?

To take advantage of the next big economic downturn, should I set up a Robinhood or Charles Schwab account?

Any good office chair recommendations for ~$100-150?
