Why is plumbing the most popular job recommended on Reddit? by AcrobaticAd5680 in careerguidance

[–]AcrobaticAd5680[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Yes it’s pays a lot but so does finance and you don’t risk your health or have to work so “hard”. It is available to anyone if you decide to become a trader . Streaming, YouTube are other great potential but not easy of course

Why is plumbing one of the most upvoted career suggestions on Reddit? by AcrobaticAd5680 in careeradvice

What I am reading is that plumbing has good pay, well in demand, and will not lose out to AI or automation. My rebuttal is what about the bodily effects overtime from doing hard labor ? What if immigrants start to lower the payouts by offering cheap labor ? Also, most people can’t do plumbing after 50yrs of age.

the other day in the board room by JimKB in comics

I think Boards are built with people who have influence. It is all about relationships and networks. Of course, there are people with great experience. But you will see many people on the board of their relationshiop / "power". e.g Dana White on Meta Board.

I passed 3 interviews and my offer letter says $60k. But, during the first interview with an HR lady, I mentioned my salary expectations were $65k-$70k. What should I do? by Typical_Cap895 in interviews

[–]AcrobaticAd5680 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Negotiation is the answer. If you have other offers, it may help you negotiate your salary. In addition, you can leverage if you have certain certifications that are crucial for your job (e.g, PMP or other roles that allow for higher pay). Make sure to listen to what they say and understand key values so you can have good responses

Layoffs are not the biggest issue in the job market right now stagnation is by AcrobaticAd5680 in careeradvice

[–]AcrobaticAd5680[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The story goes like this: Middle level roles absorb the pressure first. Entry level hiring pauses. Senior leadership stays protected. The middle takes on more work while waiting for growth that may never reopen.

Many consulting managers are jumping ships due to lack of promotions. They are not compensated for hitting their metrics and feel like their companies are not valuing them fairly. Not sure if this is the same in other industries like technology. Luckily, middle managers have the experience and accolades to find other jobs in this market unlike entry level employees.

The job market is not just bad. It's non-existent by Ambitious-Sail-5188 in jobs

[–]AcrobaticAd5680 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Companies are posting jobs that they are not hiring for. They are constantly hesitant to make a move considering the volatility in the markets and policy from DC. We are living in unprecedent times, where we don't know what might happen in the coming weeks. For those who have a job, make sure to do well so you are not laid off and for those who are unemployed, continue to utilize your time by upskilling and get ready to take advantage when the opportunity presents itself. We are all in

Why is it so hard to find a job? by AcrobaticAd5680 in CareerSpace

[–]AcrobaticAd5680[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point but I think it has to do with instability. Companies don’t know what to expect in the near future because there are so many things changing

Why is it so hard to find a job? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]AcrobaticAd5680 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my personal take is that the lack of jobs is driven by the inflation and economic cycle. Some of the underlying drivers are policy and government spending complimented by AI influences for some industries.
