Any ecommerce managers here willing to chat about your job for my university project? Hey there! I have a project for my communications class, and part of it is to choose a role I’m interested in and interview a couple of people who hold that role. I’ve developed an interest in ecommerce so I’m hoping to talk to an ecommerce manager (via message). It’d mostly be questions about your day to day, your work struggles, etc. If you’re…

LPT: If given the flexibility, start a new job at the end of the month and leave a job at the beginning of the month. When applying for new jobs typically employers look at the length you were at your old job. If you were at a job from January 31, 2018 – September 1, 2018, you were effectively at your job 7 months, but on your resume and future applications you typically just put the month (e.g. January 2018 – September 2018). This will look like you were in fa…

LPTR: How do you handle anxiety and stress in this job market? I grew up in a family where money was always a reason for stress and fights. I’ve clearly been affected by it and have worked all my life solely focused on money. I am currently between jobs and while I know the markets are horrible and I have a safety nest that will last me a few months – I’ve lost all the will to do anything. I’m constantly in…

Am I crazy to quit my job to travel? I have the opportunity to live with a family member in Thailand for about a year or two. I just graduated college in May and I have worked at my current job for a few months. I have a good amount of savings and I am considering leaving in January. I spent a month there after I graduated and absolutely loved it. Has anyone done this and regrette…

Do I leave my toxic job, even though they offered significantly more money? Context: My supervisor recently left, and I was given many of their daily tasks. I did not receive any change in job title or pay rate for taking on this increased responsibility; I was just asked to do these things. Previously, I was refused a raise twice, so, naturally I started looking around for a new job after they added more to my overflow…

Part time nanny or quit job after maternity leave? Household income is 187k with my husband bringing up 120k of that with a yearly $5k + bonus as a senior software dev in the midwest suburbs. Only debt is a car payment ($500/ month at 0% interest) and that will be paid off next year, $5k left. $50k in savings for house, 10k emergency fund. A whopping 55% of my income funnels into my Roth/401k. …

Should I avoid a job that pays into a state pension instead of Social Security? I changed careers about a year ago to get into IT. My current position is entry level with low pay, even compared to the industry standard. I interviewed and got an offer for about 10k more from a public library. My current employer is in the process of making changes to the IT team and I have been told that the restructuring will lead to an inc…

Quitting job to provide family support. How can I replace some income without an active job? Need to quit my job to provide urgent full-time care for a very sick family member. What are some ways I can create passive income (apart from using HYSA). Can invest up to 300K. Also are there any government benefits I can utilize during this time off?

LPT request: How to Mentally Keep Going with Job Seeking How do you cope with the constant battering of self-worth? Laying it all out in a formal setting again & again, and they just say no. No, get out of here, no – and don’t let the door hit you on the way out? What do you do, hey? Where does the motivation come from to do it all again? Tired, man. submitted by /u/VeganEgon

LPT request: negotiated job offer and am I being ghosted now? I was offered a job and I negotiated the terms of the base salary last Monday. I have sent an email on Friday and called this Tuesday for an update. Unfortunately, I have not heard back from the HR. Im this waiting period of not hearing back from them is driving me crazy.

This comes usually the last two days of my work week (Friday and Saturday). I’ve been exploring taking on anoth…

LPT : A.I. won’t take your job; the person who understands A.I. better than you will. I’ve heard many people say that A.I. is so detrimental that it will destroy the future and that’s why I’ve been distancing myself from any A.I. tools. However, the reality is that understanding A.I. gives you an edge in many fields. In the end, consider comparing yourself to people who refused to use machines during the industrial revolution. …

My special child is really behind at school and want to concentrate on him so he can catch up. …

LPT: If your given name sounds low-class it might be holding you back in a job search context. Consider changing it for job applications Context: Am named after a brand. It’s not even a name, and its ridiculous. I go by my middle name which is a regular & respectable man‘s name. It also has a weird spelling but I choose to spell it the more traditional way for extra brownie points. Don‘t underestimate how much the companies you’re applying to might judge a ‘lower class‘ name and …
