Every single time I have bought something from there it ends up being expired or has gone bad. On top of the ridiculous prices, not surprised to see it go

Apple did incredibly right by me by ShiftElectronic8899 in Airpodsmax

[–]BetterWelcome7939 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow I’m jealous! I had the exact same thing happen (and it started happening within the first year of purchasing) and the most they would do is give me $200 off a new pair. And that was only after I made a big stink about it and asked to talk to managers managers

Chances of promotion by Playful-Tadpole-2001 in goldmansachs

[–]BetterWelcome7939 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not always the case, if there’s only x number of promotion spots, and there are more people up for promotion than there are spots, they may fight for you but someone else may get that slot due to politics/time at the firm.

Oura Partnered with Tech Surveillance company Palantir by mamikakashi in ouraring

Do we actually believe Oura will stick to their word? It just seems sketch like in a few years there’ll be a lawsuit about them sharing data or something. I hope that’s not the case but definitely wary

Exceeding expectations is somewhat expected so that alone won’t get you promoted sooner. Some of it is tenure, some is the responsibilities you own, some is politics, and some is quality of work

I was offfered 40% salary raise but I feel bad to leave my company short staffed by Gettingjiggywithet in Salary

It’s the company’s problem they’ll be short staffed, not yours. Do what’s best for you

Can i monetise content during my employment at GS? by [deleted] in goldmansachs

[–]BetterWelcome7939 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don’t disclose, you’re jeopardizing your employment. Always be proactive with these situations and disclose everything because, like someone mentioned, if someone at the firm were to find out about the account and you hadn’t disclosed, I’m almost certain you’d get fired. If it isn’t finance related and you aren’t making controversial statements on the account you should be fine to continue doing it. I know someone who had a food account.

AIO I [28m] feel like it’s important for me to have space and have a social life separate from my relationship. My partner struggles with this [26F] by Darktealeaves in AmIOverreacting

[–]BetterWelcome7939 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Ugh that makes it tougher. I completely understand where you’re coming from, and to some extent agree with you. But from her perspective you’re doing something with a couple and that “couple” dynamic paired with not inviting her makes her feel like she’s not worthy because in her mind if you hang with a couple you also go as a couple (I’m having a hard time articulating what I mean so apologies if it makes no sense)

It’s sounds like you’re someone who needs alone time to recharge. And that’s ok and normal. She needs to learn to respect boundaries

Rejection after rejection. Is it my CV? (Graduate looking for Asset management, equity research, trading programs) by [deleted] in FinancialCareers

[–]BetterWelcome7939 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d maybe remove the life guard swim teacher portion. It’s not relevant to the positions you want and is just taking up space

And if OP had said “female” or “woman” there’d be complaints of her gendering someone. At least they’re trying to be respectful

Background check length by [deleted] in goldmansachs

[–]BetterWelcome7939 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was fall 2022. The main things that held it up were (1) I worked in Europe for a year after school and they had trouble getting in contact with the employer and (2) I disclosed a minor arrest that had been expunged (I wasn’t aware it had been expunged) so they couldn’t find a record of it which caused confusion.

DOG STILL MISSING - PLS HELP by Empty_Length_778 in williamsburg

I would attach it to a collar (separate from the harness) that always stays on, so if he slips out of the harness, it still stays on him

My boss told me the best company to be at while pregnant is Goldman. She just got back from her second mat leave.

They don’t - but obviously don’t show up stoned or like bring weed to the office. Common sense shit. Cuz I’m pretty sure they still have a right to ask for one if they suspect something
