- How should I approach being underemployed after being unemployed for about 6 months?by /u/griffindore91 on March 8, 2021 at 3:05 pm
I'll try to keep this as brief as possible... Two years ago I accepted an entry-level position after graduating with my MBA (standard MBA, not Ivy League or anything) making around $70k/year which was very good for my state at entry-level. It was a two year "rotational" program where I split time […]
- How to discuss wanting to remain WFH when employer wants us to return to the office?by /u/raintoad on March 8, 2021 at 3:02 pm
My company wants us to return to the office now that things are "getting better". I have never had a better year, both professionally and personally, than this past year being able to work from home. My coworkers are all mostly older than me, and have little to teach or share with me when it comes […]
- Is my job niece?by /u/BelacYoral on March 8, 2021 at 2:50 pm
I enjoy my job but my work basically screwed me out of bonuses for the rest of the year. Which I took an office that had and still has major issues because the bonuses would be worth the extra stress. It's not now. Essentially I'm an Office manager that oversees staff, budgets, client satisfaction, […]
- Should I accept a job overseas at the possibility of cutting off my spouse's career?by /u/Secondary_Location on March 8, 2021 at 2:22 pm
I work in Trade Compliance and over a casual conversation with my boss I talked myself into possibly getting sent overseas. This would be a big resume booster, higher position and almost double my salary. I should know in about 2-3 weeks and I can 100% back out. Visa's are 100% not an issue w/o […]

- Give me an opinion? I love the idea of both these paths/occupations.by /u/intheflowerpatch on March 8, 2021 at 2:16 pm
I'm really fascinated with curation and artifact conservation, and working in museums, but I've also got a talent for visual art and would love to make art (textiles, drawings and painting is what I love most, I'm always getting new ideas for projects and beautiful things to create.) These things […]
- Will jumping/changing career fields hurt me?by /u/Wh00pity_sc00p on March 8, 2021 at 2:01 pm
I’ve been in the restaurant industry for about 9 years. When COVID hit, I ended up losing my job. I was unemployed for about 4 months but I was able to find a job at a hospital as a call center rep. I’ve been at this job for about 8 months now and I want to leave. The only reason I was at the […]

- I've never worked a day in my life at the age of 26. I want to move on in my life, but I don't know where to start. Any advice or opinions on my situation is appreciated. What should I do?by /u/yoimjoe on March 8, 2021 at 1:45 pm
I'll try to keep this short, I hope this doesn't go under the "no sob stories" rule, I don't intent this to be a sob story. It's simply my current situation and I'm looking for advice. I'm turning 26 in a few weeks and I've never worked a day in my life. After graduating in 2013, I did nothing, […]
- Is it still viable to visit potential employers to gain an upper hand in the application process in this day and age?by /u/Jscrubs9 on March 8, 2021 at 1:23 pm
Hi, I’m a student just looking at internships/graduate opportunities and although I think I have a fairly decent application, I shudder to think my chances at work are to be determined by a numerical value at the end of an oddly confusing and unrelated “aptitude” test. I was therefore boding […]
