What’s your worst interview story? I’ll go first 🙃

Sat on 2 interviews back to back today, and essentially violently threw up in between(flu), and had to get right back on with the next person with vomit on the ends of my hair.

Thank god for “touch up my appearance” on Zoom.

Interview for a Data Analytics consultant role and have been told there will be white-boarding exercises. How would you prepare for this? I’m guessing it will mostly be SQL but don’t want to assume.

What kinds of meds are you on to help with ADHD?

Does anyone’s face freeze up when you start talking during a presentation? Idk if it’s my anxiety acting up physically or not. Mentally I dont feel that nervous, but my body tenses up physically.

Has anyone here tested positive for covid-19? What was your experience, symptoms, etc.? And if you are willing to share, what’s your age, gender, and do you have any pre-existing health conditions? I’ve seen tons of data, but just want to hear about different experiences now too from people that have had it.

Question for the married 🐠- Have you ever gone to couples therapy? If so, how did it work out for you? Did it help and do you now live your life happily ever after? Or did it just delay the inevitable and you are no longer in a relationship with your significant other? I’ve seen so many people go to therapy only to end up breaking up shortly afterwards and dropping some serious $$$

The short: Would anyone be up for starting regular virtual co-working sessions? I’m thinking 2-3 rounds of [5 mins to set intentions : 45 mins of work : 10 min break]. The long: One technique I’ve found to stay focused is “body doubling,” i.e., having another person present while you’re working. I’ve had some success replicating this over Zoom/Google Meet. Everyone works on their own thing and stays muted during work blocks, but videos stay on. It reminds me of studying in the library vs at home

Might be a stretch but thought it might be worth mentioning.

How much do Pharmacy Assistants get in Ontario?

How do you cope when your employer rapidly descends into chaos from the top down? Today is my 2yr anniversary with this company. In the past 6mos, they have repeatedly changed directions / goals, pushing out several supportive and productive managers in favor of a single chauvinist overlord who makes HR violations daily and does no actual work. HR denies every complaint made against him and he retaliates to the point of firing people. Very hostile. How do I survive until I find my next gig?

Hi Fishes,

Can someone elaborate on the designations/grades/bands in Infosys Consulting? Is Business Consultant a designation or a role? Also, how frequent are onsite opportunities in the unit?

Does anyone think it’s weird that my firm is bending over backwards to try to keep a first year staff from leaving the firm after she was rated a 2 this year. But now she’s trying to leave and they keep trying to push her to stay saying she can be a partner in 8-9 years and laying it all out in detail. The issue is they laid off other staff (all but her) so maybe that’s it? Find it very odd.

Is it normal to negotiate for a bigger severance package if it happens within the first year? Because Meta may have something for me but TBH I'm nervous about their hiring freeze news.

Is it safe to join PWC india at this point of time. Are we expecting any layoffs?

Anyone dealt with age discrimination at work or thought they were fired because of it? I have a strong hunch I was let go because I'm older than most of the team and they're trying to get a "fresh perspective." To me it just sounds like they're firing anyone over 50.

Are any firms out there that are hiring full-time/remotely? Let's start a list

Open to a new role more focused in the tech industry. Have nearly 5 years working in a top 5 Canadian bank. I currently manage a commercial banking portfolio of roughly $100 million in annual commercial lending clients. Have experience selling and managing c-suite etc. Looking for a remote opportunity.

So, I haven't received an offer yet but they have already run a background check and sent me both a conditional U5 approval and a FINRA info request. Can I assume that an offer will be soon to follow?

Is it just me or have you also noticed that during the endless back to back zoom/teams meetings, people drift away and not take down action points?

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?

I made an announcement during our team meeting that I'll be taking another job offer. My petty boss said, "Well now that we have a little more budget, the rest of you will be getting raises!"
