Recently did the virtual interview with the company I applied. During the final interview, one interviewer (manager level) was showing her/his face and I could see the background and everything. In the middle of the interview, I could see interviewer’s spouse was walking around in the background w...Read more
Today we are going to discuss the power and implication of being perceived as attractive and having a genetic lottery. I have firsthand saw the leverage it gives on interview and day to day work. Many will deny the existence of it but subconsciously we all use it. This is why you get nervous to talk...Read more
Potentially shorter career than others, but extremely lucrative Important to invest earnings for a fulfilling early retirement It’s a carousel between companies/teams The newest contract is usually the best, and the existing top performers will always complain, go to a new team, try and get the s...Read more

What is the most professional way to tell my manager I am okay being laid off or being pip fodder if that is what is coming to us? If laid off I'll be happy to travel the world for a year or so until the economy improves. Maybe complete another degree online or something. SDE 2 300k TC
Instead of sticking to professional topics and conversations, I see a lot more arguments, politics, and name calling. I feel like their algorithm also makes sure you see others being promoted or switching jobs, so you feel envious and more engaged in the platform. Devious bastards.. Personally I am...Read more
Probably a dumb question. I'm in Analytics and love coding. Do it a lot for fun because my day job requires more financial modeling and pivot tables. Thanks.
I noticed that "tech"-which I'm going to interpret as shorthand for engineers- is often accused of being responsible for gentrification and the increase in the cost of living of the valley but don't see the same accusations directed at other professionals like attorneys, doctors, or other types of ...Read more
I was recently approached by a recruiter for this position. We have not discussed comp yet, but can anyone speak to what this position is like from a work /wlb perspective? TC: 190 #amazonaws
I’m a data analytics professional in the Bay Area who lost their job due to a shift in focus at a startup. Despite being in the job market for a while, I've struggled to secure a new position.

I believe being under 5’5 is a disability for a male. There are many similarities between shortness and disabilities. 1. Accessibility issues 2. Social Stigma 3.

Trust me it’s hot and attractive any day but it’s also massively distracting when it’s in a professional setting like #workplace Don’t report me if I stare at your 🍑 Edit: Don’t judge me for being male or female. I identify as a door desk!
I've spent _thousands_ of dollars having my resume professionally written & rewritten. None of them have scored more than 1-2 recruiter screens, despite damn near 1k applications submitted. After being out of work for months, there's no money to have a pro re-write it yet again. I'm out of ideas. H...Read more
If author X, co-authored a paper with Y and Y made a name for himself/herself not being very professional would it affect X's academic/professional career?
Anyone work at Thumbtack and worried about layoffs? With the housing industry being negatively impacted in these economic times, I anticipate people arent looking for service professionals either #layoff
If you want to grow in career, being fully remote absolutely sucks. Growth and progress doesn’t happen in isolation. You need to be close to the action and similar minded people for that.

Just made an initial contribution of $10k and plan to save $1000 a month for my 2 kids. That should cover 3 out of 4 years of a college for them. I know some people say colleges will not be around in 10 years, but I’m betting on higher education still being similarly important. I’m more concerned a...Read more
