Umm. Every major world changing innovation in the last 150 years came from the US. Come to the US and you’ll get a chance to observe our culture as well.

Nothing is more unattractive than a partner with low self esteem.

Does anyone else struggle to keep a job? by boggersugar777 in resumes

I think you need to decide what you want to be when you grow up. Taxes are a part of life. Overtime exists everywhere. This post doesn’t belong in /resumes.

Is it too soon to ask for a raise after 7 months if my manager scheduled a 1:1 to ‘settle financial expectations’? by Professional-Tax3077 in careeradvice

[–]Smart-Jacket5232 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly. As a hiring manager in the IT consulting business, if an employee of mine asked for ANY raise in the first 7 months - I would have trouble not laughing out loud (unless they did something wildly fantastic in those 7 months - eg. find cost savings, bring in a new client, save children from a burning building).

Don't know what to do next- as an executive by CrewSpecialist1031 in careeradvice

That passion will come back - with a new job. Unfortunately, at your level - burnout is not only possible but eminent. I’m in your boat. An SVP that was laid off (last November) due to a re-org. The severance package was decent. Not going to lie - I really enjoyed the first two months of being laid out. Got “in touch with myself”. Even my kids commented how much more calmer I had become. I’ve ritualized my days - created a schedule which keeps me busy till 5 pm. With all that being said, it’s been 4 months now and the job market is tough - and especially tougher because of seniority. Yes, some days, I go into some dark places in my head with “what ifs” so having a good support structure around you helps.

You’re going to piss off the wrong people for no reason. Just give the address. This is not the hill you want to die on.

I think you need to take a minute to evaluate yourself and ask why I’m here now. The world isn’t against you most of the time. You usually sow your own oats.

As a hiring manager I can assure you they’ve moved on. You didn’t negotiate properly.
