What are some good jobs that allow for part time? It seems like everything in my current industry is full time. But I don’t want to work full time anymore. I don’t need to make a ton of money, I just want something other than retail, or restaurant.

I was thinking of frontend developer roles, engineer or maybe designer roles. My main concern is that I dont want to show my face to clients, as I think I may repulse them and it might hurt my hireablity.

I LOVE math so much, it’s my absolute passion, but it’s unrealistic to think that I could get a job just doing math. I really want to go into engineering, but I’m already 2 years into my BS in math. I do plan on getting a master’s degree so I’m wondering if anyone has suggestions on what fields of engineering (I’m considering biomed and software rn) would be a nice transition. I’m alternatively considering statistics or actuarial math. Idk, I love everything. I’d be content anywhere, just wondering what makes SENSE to do with a BS in math. No, I can’t just switch my major, huge waste of $ that I don’t have.

I recently started a contract role at a tech company. The contract is for 15 weeks so short but I’m hopeful it could turn into a full time role. However I was recently offered a full time role at a fairly prestigious large university. This role is about same pay in terms of total comp but probably doesn’t have as much growth potential. The title is analyst level where as the other is senior manager level. Struggling to make a decision about how to navigate this. Do I use the offer to out pressure on my contract role to move to permanent? Should I just take the permanent role? Really conflicted.

Vent + seeking for advice for my situation:

• regularly being given many tasks outside my job description because the person supposed to be doing it is a junior staff that don’t care and because I’m being labelled as reliable and hardworking (I had real promotions followed by these kind of “quiet promotions” in the past, so it’s not all bad for me). Yet, I got no recognition from boss. Tasks just keep coming and even boss acknowledges I am very “helpful” but just laughs it off. Boss even asked me to supervise that junior person to do the work (i.e. even more work for me, and that junior staff is disengaged, on the phone all day long)

• having to do extra work because the department responsible for it is not doing it well. And boss is not protecting / fighting for me hard enough even though she is aware of this issue.

• extra work & tight deadlines causing overtime; my work quality declined and made some mistakes in my work. Boss’s boss saw the mistakes, reprimanded my boss and thinks poorly of me now even though he’s not aware how overworked I am.

• boss’s second-in-command bad mouthing me to boss (we had a misunderstanding in the past). I don’t know how boss treats these comments but constantly looking over my shoulder is stressing me out.

• being flow under the bus / bad mouthed by colleagues (not my boss) for something that I have only done as instructed/ had informed my boss about.

I’m a shy person and do not social much. Hate official politics (and am not good at it); keep my head down and do the hard work. Now I’m miserable. The only reason I’m not quitting this instant is because of a considerable sum of bonus in a few months (partly because i want the money; partly because I feel like i deserve it after what I’ve done in the past year). But i’m not sure I can bear another half a year till bonus distribution.

Originally, I was even thinking I may ask for a promotion this year-end during performance appraisal, but given the recent developments I have no more hope. 😔

Any tips for surviving the remaining 6 months? 😞

Career Advice Needed: 30F Rebuilding Life After Divorce and Looking for a Better Job

To all the women working now, please give me advice on how to rebuild my career. I'm a 30-year-old woman living in a small town in India. I completed my M.Com in 2017 but didn’t have much exposure to the industry at that time. I started working at a private finance company near my hometown, earning just Rs. 8,000 per month.

During this time, I got married. After marriage, my life took a drastic turn. My husband didn’t like me working, so I had to resign from my job. The marriage was messy and abusive, and my mental and physical health deteriorated. After enduring a year of abuse, I decided to go for a divorce, which was finalized last year.

Now, I’m trying to rebuild my life and land a better-paying job. I am the sole earner in my family and have debts to pay off, which my father had taken he is no more now. Currently, I work as an accountant for a small law firm, but my salary is very low.

I recently learned about data analyst and business analyst positions through Reddit. Can I pursue a career in these fields? Would it provide good opportunities? I have no background in programming, coding, or math, and I was an average student in school.

I don’t have any friends or family to guide me. For years, my family and I have been struggling just to make ends meet. I am open to exploring any courses, not just data analysis, that could help me land a well-paying job in a good company.

I find myself straddling between these two careers. I was initially leaning towards construction management but have come to hear that it is extremely stressful and has a substandard work-life balance. Is this really true? Anyone who is well aware of the two careers, pls recommend which one is better in terms of job availability, work-life balance, stress. (AUS)

Hi

I have been selected for an interview next week with Services Australia. The fascinating part is that the interview will last 20 minutes and consist of a set of questions.

What bothers me is the duration of the interview.

Usually, it lasts half an hour, and there are no set questions.

Is this the new norm for interviews in Australian Public Services?

Cheers

I am concerned that otherwise everything is very good, my work is going on fine in my office, earlier I used to have problem with timing, I mean my timing is 10 am to 7 pm and earlier I used to have to go from 7 to 9 or 10, sometimes even 10:15 and where my office is, it did not feel safe, I did not feel right going home on daily ride but now I have to come on time but even then sometimes it goes only at 9 o'clock, this was my timing issue and my work is fine but I want to add some new skills and I have also spent 3/4 br of time to add skills but finish taking the casual bt and anyway whatever skills I need I want to add that I don't like his manager even one percent but if I need skill then I will have to do it but now he says that even if the guys are there then we will give the projects to someone; I say this but when the guys come then they don't care about anything and finish it normally and by the way it has been 1 year 7 months for me in this company, my question was whether I should switch jobs or not? Everything is going right but I am thinking about a few things.

I’ve been at my current job for three years, and while I’ve taken on more responsibilities and consistently delivered results, I haven’t seen a promotion or pay raise yet. I feel like I’ve earned it, but the idea of bringing it up makes me nervous. I want to approach it tactfully to avoid coming across as pushy, but at the same time, I don’t want to keep waiting for recognition that might never come.

Recently, I had a small financial win, so I’m not desperate for the raise, but it’s more about feeling valued in my role. I’ve researched my industry standards, and it’s clear my compensation is falling behind. Still, the thought of starting this conversation with my manager is intimidating—especially since they tend to avoid discussions about salary during our check-ins.

For those who’ve successfully navigated this, how did you prepare? Did you focus on your past accomplishments, future goals, or both? And what’s the best way to handle it if the answer is no?

I’d love advice on how to structure this conversation while maintaining a positive relationship with my boss. It feels like a delicate balance, and I just want to make sure I approach it in the best way possible.

Looking for a new direction after a layoff

I (43M) was laid off on Halloween. My former employer is probably shooting themselves in the foot by putting me in the first round, but that's not my problem. I was their entire machine shop and the only one capable of doing some of the work I did in-house.

My history consists of 25 years of metalworking machining in primarily prototypes. I have experience with nearly every aspect of mechanical hardware manufacturing. I started off making patterns for sand casting, have worked with stamping dies, injection molding, thermoforming molds, fiberglass pultrusion, carbon fiber layup molds, and prototype parts for just about any industry you can imagine including food processing, pharmaceuticals, automation, aerospace, automotive, and shipbuilding. I've worked with parts so small that they would be weighed in grains, and parts that weighed several tons that would sag under their own weight. I can program and/or operate just about any CNC or manual metalworking machinery, and can quickly and easily adapt to any new to me equipment. I have a solid and stable work history with only 5 jobs (including one part-time as an adjunct instructor) over the last 25 years. I even have design and engineering experience. Some of the parts I've done have been featured in industry magazines. I've made tooling for products that some of you use every day often trust your lives to.

I feel as though this industry has nothing left to offer me. I have everything anyone hiring wants. With my wide experience and proven skills, the best the industry is willing to offer is barely more than twice my state's minimum wage. It's high skill and low pay.

I'm looking for something new that has real potential, I'm just completely unsure of a direction.

I put my two weeks in since I got a new job offer. The reason I’m leaving is solely because I want to move to a different state. When i mentioned that reason to my current employer they offered me to go fully remote. I’d of course ask them to put that offer in writing.

I have a good relationship with the company and they have expressed that they find me valuable and enjoy working with me. The job current job I have has better benefits than my new employer. I’d love to stay at my current company and work remote.

However I’m nervous that they might be saying this so they have time to fill the position.

Hello. I am a legal secretary in St. Louis and have worked as one for 26 years. A little over a year ago I got a new job at a larger firm and for once it was great pay. I had always struggled and been underpaid so I was very excited. The 2nd day on the new job human resources came into my office and told me I was fired for my online presence in modeling and posing in a well known adult magazine. Also, a female attorney at the firm had the same last name as my modeling name and they didn't want two women I guess with that name at the firm. I was devastated and begged my old boss to come back and got my job back. Thank goodness.....After this happened a local print and online magazine ran my story and used my real name, not my modeling name. I didn't think of the consequences unfortunately. I plan on making a move to Chicago in a year or so because all my family is there now, my current boss will be retiring in about a year or so, but I am scared that nobody will want to hire me. I have so much experience, good references and am good at my job, am loyal and a good worker, but if you type in my real name that article comes up. Do I tell prospective employers about what happened or do I ignore it and risk being fired on the 2nd day in a new city with lots of bills and responsibilities. I know I'm not perfect but in defense of what I did, I was raising two small children with no child support at a low paying job working for attorneys who degraded me and didn't pay me what I deserved. I was harassed and made to listen to locker room talk, and it was very traumatic for me. I wanted to do something which could make me some extra money, I guess make me feel attractive and I loved making art by modeling and did a lot of artistic shoots. If you could please be kind and don't judge me, I have been judged ALOT and punished. I just really need some advice here if I should say anything or not at interviews or in any context while applying for a job in Chicago. I think Chicago is a little more open minded and a bigger city but the internet is available for everyone. I know everyone doesn't care and a lot of people thought that it was wrong that they fired me. Some people thought I deserved it and that they had a right to fire me. I just need to know what to do to move forward and find a good job. I retired from modeling btw. I am 49 but I started modeling in my thirties. Please help? Thanks!

I’ve been a product manager for just over two years and was recently promoted to senior product manager off the back of some strong results.

Even thought my title is senior, I still haven’t been doing this very long and would love to know if what I’m feeling is just a phase and to stick it out, to look for a new company, or to look to transition to a new role.

Currently I feel just plain burnt out- we’ve been asked to deliver new features very aggressively for the past two years. During this time I’ve fallen out of love with the role for a few reasons.

1. Hours: are quite long, stretching from ~7am to 6/7pm on a nearly daily basis. It’s impacted my mental/physical health and personal relationships. The early start is non negotiable as I’m working with a dev team halfway across the world.

2. The process: standard PM tasks have begun to feel tedious and repetitive, I’m no longer excited for quarterly planning sessions or working through execution plans with the team.

3. Company culture: when something goes wrong there’s so much finger pointing and even minor issues (and I mean MINOR) get escalated to VPs and C Suite.

Hours wise and culture wise Product at this company seems like it’s just not for me. If you’ve been in a similar situation: is it worth trying product at another company or transitioning out of it entirely?

I have a good amount of certifications for it for example I have my COMPTIA trifecta.

I have an MPH degree I’ve never really used. I’ve worked in healthcare more in direct practice.

Any thoughts on how to break in for someone not new to workforce but newer to admin/ health roles or breaking into PH..

Hey! Currently I’m doing my internship in BDS and really interested in shifting over to a non clinical option that could open doors to careers across more fields than just dental.

I’ve been specifically interested in careers like healthcare informatics, healthcare analytics and healthcare management (not too much into management tho, I’m not too sure about the job opportunities).

I’ve been looking at the MBA Healthcare analytics program at IIHMR Jaipur and their curriculum looks pretty impressive. I know there’s MBA programs in Goa and TISS Mumbai but I haven’t looked into those much yet.

If there are any current or graduate students from these universities or from this field can you please help guide me? I have been feeling really lost with what I’m supposed to do next.

I mainly have the following questions:

1. IIHMR Jaipur - what is the uni really like?

• Is it well reputed and regarded?
• Is the faculty dedicated?
• What are the internship opportunities and placements like?
• I have been through the website and they boast big numbers but I want to know if all of that is really true. Specifically related to MBA healthcare analytics or I would also be willing to do another similar course.

2. About MBA in healthcare in general - anyone who is currently studying in the field or has graduated:

• what is/has the experience been like?
• Do you regret it or wish you could have done something different?
• What are the job opportunities and pay like?
• Are there any prospects in moving abroad?
• I’m hoping to move to Singapore or somewhere like that in the future.
• Also would really appreciate if you share your journey!

3. Other than all of that I really need any advice I can get regarding this. If you are comfortable in doing so, please dm so we can connect better!

Thank you so much!

I am an ugly woman who dont wants to save up for surgery be able to work like other normal people. In most fields where clients have to see my face, I feel like I am handicapped though. I am looking for professions that no one have to see my face.

Hello,

I’m a BCA graduate and have been unemployed for the past 6 months. Currently, I’m preparing for an Automation Test Engineer role as a fresher. However, I recently received a job offer for an IT Support Engineer position at a healthcare startup with a package of 3 LPA. Anyone with experience in the industry, I’d really appreciate your guidance on whether I should take this offer or continue focusing on Automation Testing. Thanks!

I got an offer to work at a small firm that does risk management and liquidity for retail brokers. Mostly for forex platforms. I would be basically surveilling those platforms, doing P/L, data analysis etc. That whole side of the industry is foreign to me and I know it can be a little shady.

I come from a data engineering background so I am curious if anyone knows this area and could help me understand if this is a good position to take. My current job is comfortable, but I want to do something more relating to finance/trading and figured this is a good place to start.

Thanks!
