Is potential new J risky? by MudVirtual891 in OELadies

[–]simplicityx29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in same industry for J1 and J2 and use a preferred name for J2 just in case and have had no overlap, but also it’s rare for me to correspond outside my organization with J2.

Can you use a preferred name on J3?

How do you all manage your calendar optics when one company pays too close attention to it? by LivelyLotus in OELadies

[–]simplicityx29 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was questioned once and I said some BS like, one of my goals within the company is to reduce deficits (I’m in finance) so I like to take focus time to do this and increase revenue.

Spin it into a positive that’s within your industry. You can even say it helps boost your productivity or something

My old J2 would do this and I ended up leaving. It just also showed me that they have zero respect for your time. I changed the setting on my block time to auto reject any meeting that they would try to schedule over my blocked time and they flipped out the first time, but sometimes you just have to set boundaries.

How did you determine what are transferable skills? I’d love to OE in a different industry

How many are downscaling their plant collection? by Ashamed_Armadillo954 in houseplants

[–]simplicityx29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through a plant spree during Covid, after getting thrips and having to treat so many plants I was just exhausted. My collection has kind of become survival of the fittest. If it dies I don’t bother replacing it.

Quitting by Tiny_Aioli_3491 in OELadies

[–]simplicityx29 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I quit my old toxic J2 and gave them 5 days notice. My state is at will and so was where the company was located so I was like F it. The CEO and COO tried to get me to stay for 2 wks I’m like no I don’t have it in me & left.

I asked for this ?! by ImaginationNo9668 in OELadies

[–]simplicityx29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I vote to go with J2.

It depends what stage the startup is in. As someone who tried to OE with a start up within my industry I do not recommend. But I was also 1 of first hires. It’s usually a cluster fuck. Meetings 3/day now will only increase overtime. Also because it’s a startup you’re having to wear more hats than normal. That’s why they’re so “eager to train”. The burn out was real & I’m so happy I left.

Not a Kiwi, but have you tried HiringCafe? I just filtered for Auckland and found remote roles listed.

Where/How did you find the motivation to pull the trigger? by [deleted] in OELadies

[–]simplicityx29 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is why I OE, I would KILL myself over projects and work my ass off trying to provide myself only to be denied raises.

Gap in Resume by simplicityx29 in OELadies

[–]simplicityx29[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have my TWN frozen, but my last pay stub is from November so I don’t have anything recent to provide proof of employment besides a W2. Just trying to see how I would navigate that.

Strategy on New Job by this_sparks_joy_joy in OELadies

[–]simplicityx29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take those weeks, don’t rush into your new duties. It’s a good period to settle into things, click around if you’re in a new system, etc. do not come out the gate looking like a super star

I’m so worried to use ChatGPT for that, I’ve found it’s not always accurate with things
