When building your resume, as a big 4 M, what’s the best way to describe ‘an action I took that led to the success of the project / specific result’?

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.

Really confused as to whether to incorporate my NY- based makeup startup as an LLC or an S-corp? Not based in NYC if that matters and no revenue yet. Should I be looking into Delaware at all (specifically a Delaware C-Corp) if I do plan on raising capital at some point down the line?

Thanks in advance !!

I started out as a graphic designer. Worked for about 4yrs in different roles. Then i started a digital design role for 2 yrs and then made my transition into ux. i have been in a ux role for 5 years. But i want to steer my career towards something more creative. Like in 5-10 years I wouldn’t want to be a specialist or a ux director. I d like to be an art director or creative director. I love branding & marketing but also product. Would love something that allows me to do both?

Random Friday question: In your time as a consultant, how many client email addresses have you had?

Had this question pop up a lot recently - discussed here many times before, but want to see if we can quantify the discussion a bit. Let’s assume the vaccine is at 70% shots in arms by 4th of July (‘21), and 80-85% by Labor Day. In 2022, are we back to 3/4/5, or do you think parts of the remote culture will stick going forward?

I’m exhausted 😓

Krispy Kreme’s recently gave out 1 free donut to any American that was willing to get a vaccine. That day they had a 300% increase in vaccinations. Of those 60% had previously said they’d never get the vaccine. A free donut changed their mind. America is super interesting... 🤦🏾‍♂️

How frequently does a manger give you feedback on materials, and you schedule a meeting to "clarify" the feedback, and then it turns out you don't need to make changes? Or you need to make changes that are not at all what the feedback said?

Not trying to do this but just curious: if one was counseled out from a firm, would they have any luck applying to that same firm in a few months or years? At the same role or a more senior role?

Car question: is it common/easy to extend a lease? Mine is up next month and I don’t want to get into a new lease when I’m wfh for the foreseeable future. Not sure if dealers would consider this favorable for them, or if I have any leverage to renegotiate price. Or is this is even an option.

So I have two jobs I’m in the running for at the same company. Position A offered basically the same comp that I’m making now, and I’m still waiting on the results for Position B. Position A would like an answer by tomorrow AM (I was told today, I asked for more time and they said no). Would you guys ever take a job at the pursuit of trying to switch internally in the company?

It’s always been a company that I’ve wanted to work at but making the same that I’m making now is what is stopping me

Does anyone become more jaded towards their company / being in consulting by being on this app / seeing what is posted in their company bowl? I feel like this is the place to talk about things we typically wouldn’t talk about in the larger workplace setting (which is great, don’t get me wrong), but can’t help but feel that this app definitely helps me see the ugly side (more so than the nice side) of consulting.
