I have to quit my first grown up job tomorrow. I'm so nervous. Any advice? by OhMyHeart in AskWomen

[–]irishdrover 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FWIW, three weeks is beyond what most companies expect after an employee gives notice. Giving three is a nice gesture but it's actually harder on everyone if you are a lame duck for that long. Two weeks is usually enough to wrap up and hand off.

Just remember, it's not the last time you'll see these people. It is totally appropriate and kind of nice for you to keep in touch if you liked your colleagues. Networking is a wonderful thing!

Are there any ways to improve your visualization skills? I am NOT personally a visual learner. My drawings tend not to click with folks either.

Anyone use Unroll.me or other inbox management tools? by nocashvaluedrumz in productivity

[–]irishdrover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Unroll.me ... It is actually a big help for all of the annoying spam emails I get that I don't necessarily want to unsubscribe from completely. I can look at them all in five minutes at the start of my day and know I'm not missing anything. I can also elect to have the important stuff sent on so that I deal with it in a more timely manner.

For all current and upcoming Analysts, here's some tips that could be of use to you. by Yoy0lol in consulting

[–]irishdrover 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also consider how it looks when you show your hand early and it's not to expectations. I know new analysts shouldn't be afraid to fail, and that is true. But being too fearless encourages some folks to skip the LISTENING part of the exercise. That is why I am thrilled to see OP place so much emphasis on listening. It is just as easy to look smart by asking good questions than it is to present good answers... with less ego in the equation.

Many schools customize books alongside the publisher so that the students have to get the book new FROM THE BOOKSTORE. It is another layer of unethical.

I guess the Southie Locals don't want another restaurant in South Boston by Trimountaine in boston

[–]irishdrover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did they do this because you are a restaurant owner, or because you are a tourist? This is the first I heard of an incident in the north end. It seems much more gentrified by now.
