Why does every conversation among New Yorkers turn into a conversation about what neighborhood you live in, then inevitably Bklyn vs. Manhattan, then inevitably how great of a deal X person is getting since COVID. Any tips on other convo topics, games etc for NY office zoom happy hours?

Generally curious how many companies offer phone reimbursement? My last gig did not but the current one does.

Do MBA student clubs use Teams or Slack? Do they use just the free tier?

Hi all! I need some advice. I came in at a lower level than I wanted and turns out, I did a shitty deal at negotiating.

Like percentage wise, with the fact that I’m about 7-10K underpaid compared to other people with the current title?

I tutor ESL after school and recently switched over to Zoom. Students are stating that they are unable to annotate. I’ve read that this is common for Chromebook users. Does anyone know of a way to bypass this and/or any video/picture tutorials? Otherwise, it looks like we’ll just have to add an additional open tab with a google share doc. Many thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide.

Sometime I feel like I'm operating at lower capacity than during the height of Covid trying to navigate billables and no childcare/remote school. Anyone else feel this way? Are we just burnt out from all the working nights and weekend in 2020/2021?

Just graduated with Aerospace Engineering degree. I am interviewing for multiple positions at once with different companies. One gave me an offer and they want me to get back to them within 2 days. I still have other interviews scheduled and some for higher paying jobs (around 90k) What should I do?

de Blaiso says we’re on track to hit orange zone of restrictions post Thanksgiving which means no more indoor dining among other things.

The metric they are using is % positivity rate.

My question is this - is this a fair metric and if not what is a better metric to compare if it’s getting worse and we need social controls?
