When I was in boot camp for the Coast Guard, there were a lot of people who had been held back for six months or more; is this really common? Or maybe just at that location?

Hi Team,

Few days back I had a post stating that I would be joining one of the consultancy by end of this month, my question was will my joining date be impacted due to the current tech layoff. Is there a way that the new employer can monitor the post and take necessary action?

Hello folks,
I have an offer in hand by value labs and Accenture and I’m more leaning towards valuelabs. However, I’ve seen a lot of comment online which were made in 2022 and before as well that the job security is an issue in value labs and they will fire a chunk without any prior notice.
Is it true?
I would really appreciate if anyone can shed some on light on this.

Confession: I strongly think Bowl Leader is the coolest person on this fish app. Seriously.

This bowl used to be quite toxic, so much so that there were a couple of splinter confession bowls. There's now some relative sanity here, and some credit goes to BL's leadership.

BL, check your venmo when you see this 🥵

What are/were your goals in getting your MBA? Career change or moving up? Are you straight out of undergrad? Or have you been in the workforce for years and are now going back to school? Curious to hear about your experience.

I broke up with my EX mainly because the relationship with my child and her was not the best, it sucks but I have to look out for my child, So far I am able to do the things I can do now. It is not the I am not Hoeing around but the simply fact that I can hang out with friends and go watch my son play baseball is a great feeling now. I feel at peace now, in somewhat of pain because of the breakup but I am at peace now.

I want to take a career break from now till December this year for personal and mental health related reasons. Would this be perceived as a career gap to recruiter when I come back to workforce in 2023? Would it be hard to explain?

Random, but valid/persistent thought.

After 2 years of a pandemic and working independently for many years, I am not feeling interviews AT ALL. There are points in the interview where I want to just say "Look! Either hire me or don't".

How can I get over this feeling? I'm over the whole "stand in the line of fire to prove how good I am" bs. Any recommendations for getting over this or possible industries to pivot into to avoid bs interview processes and ghosting?

What comp can we expect to target after 2 YOE? I’m not miserable in consulting but don’t think I get paid enough. With my promotion in a month, I’ll be hitting 100k and I want to only leave if I can get 110k or more (going for strategy, PM, and a few startup roles). Is that realistic? whens the best time to leave for max comp in the long term?

Hi Fishes

What would be the in hand monthly salary of 12lpa?
Thanks in advance.

I feel like this was my destiny, like being part of the military was written for me. Does anyone else feel the same?

There is a certain air of respect you get when you become a military professional. As long as you earn that respect, of course. But I like it, it feels good!

Curious...what did you find to be the most challenging part of bootcamp?

How different are the physical requirements for men vs women? I'm thinking of the Navy specifically but would welcome insights from any branch of the military, thanks

Do you think the military industry is sexist? I met more women in the air force than in other companies and none of them is a very high rank

In many ways, I feel the same as before I enrolled. I don't understand how because I've lived so many things since then, but at the core, I feel like it hasn't affected me. It's weird. Am I missing something?

Can one become financially stable after being discharged from the military?

I always have faith that everything will make sense, and we will move into a better era. Sometimes it's challenging to maintain that faith, but it's always there.

What is the most realistically portrayed military story in a movie you’ve seen?

Ever since the Ukrainian invasion, I can't sleep well. Anyone else feeling this way?

As a Black woman in the military, how did you learn to deal with the policing of your hair?

Am I the only one who fears a third world war is among us? I've been studying the circumstances that led to WW1 and WW2, and let me tell you, we're not as far as they were. I hope the better judgment of people avoids such a catastrophic outcome.

Do military personnel in other countries receive more benefits than we do in America?

My cousin is in great shape physically and I know he could get through that part of basic training/boot camp but don't know if he could handle all the yelling because of past trauma he's been through. Thoughts / advice?

The feeling of avoiding mines buried on the gorund is one I carry at all times, and I remember the fear and the anxiety at every step. I still feel like this today, like every decision I make will lead to disaster.

Getting disability rated…I retire next year and seeing the doc for all my issues. They’re listed in Genesis under my active issues. Does that automatically count for when I retire or do I need to get appointments addressing these issues again after meeting with the VA?

Many movies romanticize the sacrifice of one soldier and leave them as a hero, but I have always thought that I hate that. Why would someone need to lose his life to be a hero? I believe the mere fact that we put our life at risk in service is enough to be a hero
