Hi, for context, I just graduated and from my estimate, I should not be earning that much (like a few thousand) given that I will only work about 3 months this calendar year. I have a seasonal job coming up and was told to fill out the IT-2104.

On the form, it does say to claim 1 or 0 if I’m filing as a single with no dependent and I know that the higher the number, the least withholding there will be. Since I am earning so little, would it make more sense to claim 1 allowance, or would it make sense to claim more (>1), or if anything should I even ask about filling the 2104 exemption form?

Also, if I am claiming 1 allowance for NY and NYS, then how will the withholdings change, compared to if I filled out 2?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, was wondering if anyone knows what positions at the US Open gets the Ralph Lauren uniform? I’ve been seeing some people get clothes from them but also a lot of people only have the US Open polos so I’m a bit confused as to how that works.

Also, if anyone worked as at guest access, how was the experience like? Thanks in advance!

Hi, for context, I just finished undergrad and am looking for a job. I will need to travel overseas for some important family things in around three four months or so.

Currently, I’m stuck on whether I should look for a barista job, which I’m actually somewhat interested in trying out as I enjoy watching barista recording their POV and making drinks, or doing something that is degree-related.

I plan to attend grad school after like two/three years and I feel that compared to a degree-related job, it wouldn’t be as weird if I quit a barista job after a few months and would be more explainable if it ever comes up. I don’t think any company would allow a two week break after someone had just worked there for a few months anyway.

But at the same time, I also think I should just do something that’s degree related since there is a stigma around barista jobs. I’ve had people ask why would I want to do that if I have a bachelors degree.

Any advice on what I should do next in terms of filling the gap for these three-ish months? Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone! I’ve been working (for one day) at a single attorney immigration firm consisting of that attorney and a paralegal/office manager, law clerk, and receptionist. During the interview, the attorney had mentioned several times that she doesn’t think that I’m a good fit, therefore giving me a probation period. It was mentioned that they don’t expect me to understand everything immediately and learn things slowly, but the pace is way too fast for me and they don’t seem to follow the same expectations as said.
On my first day, I was put on telephone duty for a while which I panicked and the attorney seemed to be upset with, along with correcting files and attempting to learn how to do certain forms correctly. The only paralegal handles a lot of tasks and in the 8 hour day, she was out for 1-2 hours meeting clients (and I was supposed to find her when I needed help). Before she left, she told me but never communicated to me that I could still reach her through our internal communication system. The attorney later on came in and started correcting my actions like how I was putting the files on my desk as well as not communicating my problems (I literally did not know and I explained to her but she didn’t seem to want to understand my explanation and said that’s how they do things here).
During lunch, the attorney also mentioned how she only hired me for my learning abilities so she expects me to catch up as quickly as possible and jokingly mentioned how I wouldn’t stay here for long which to mention, she hired me but she also posted the same position on other recruiting platforms which seems like she is only hiring me as a placeholder until she finds someone she is satisfied with.
Honestly, given the amount of stress of needing to know everything because they don’t seem to want to listen to my reasons for certain things (and the attorney knows that I don’t have experience in office jobs) as well as them attempting to replace me makes me want to quit. It just seems like there’s no sense of job security because she can just throw me away once she finds someone and that can be as soon as next week. Can you guys give some advice in terms of what you guys think would be best? Do you guys see any possible red flags? I don’t know if I should stick it through or just continue. Since I’m a new grad, I know that they are in a way taking a chance on me and it is really challenging to find a firm that would take someone who doesn’t have experience. But I don’t think (from what I saw) that they have the time and patience especially considering how many support staff they have. Along with that, I have plans of attending law school later on so I’m concerned that if I’m fired anytime soon, even if it isn’t because of my problem, it would impact my character and fitness results (where they access your previous employments and other factors).

Hi! For context, I just graduated from college and it’ll be my first office job. It’s a very small office, consisting of a solo practitioner attorney in immigration law, a receptionist, and a senior paralegal who also is the office manager. I’m unsure how many other paralegals there are, as I only met three people during the interview.

During my interview, I spoke with the attorney first and the office manager second. During my interview with the attorney, I thought I messed up very terribly so I honestly gave up and focused on what I was saying more which caused me to not really remember the office manager’s name. In this case, when I go into the office, would there be any smooth way where I could relearn her name?

Also, this position opening was posted through LinkedIn, so my conversations with the attorney included addressing each other by our first names. I’m a first-generation college grad to work in an office setting and was wondering if it’s appropriate to address attorneys by their first name. For context, this is a prominently Chinese office and while they seem to follow English norms most, I’m nervous that they adhere to Chinese cultural norms where you usually don’t address others (especially those in higher levels) by their first name. But in our most recent email, the attorney had signed off with her first name, so I’m guessing it’s fine but wanted to ask for reassurance.

I’m assuming that I’d work closer with the office manager/senior paralegal but I was wondering if I should reach out to the attorney or paralegal at the end of the day and talk to them (other than saying bye). I’m a bit anxious and tend to overthink so I’m honestly worried if going out of my way to say bye is appropriate or cues to start packing up and leaving. Since it’s a small office, would it be better if I had notified the senior paralegal if I’m taking a lunch break? I’m really worried that I’ll mess something up so I was wondering if there are any tips on how to talk to them or if there’s tips to come off as a person who is trying and has manners.

Thank you in advance!

Hi, I was wondering what you guys feel about braces. Is that something that would be a turn-off for some of you or does it not matter?

Hi, for some context, I came across this guy from a TikTok (he appeared in his friend's video) and in the video, it was made clear that he is single. He was tagged in that friend's post and so I found his instagram. His profile is private but in his bio, there's a link to a website with pictures that he took in many countries (quite professional) and I was thinking to message him to talk about that (I mean other than that, I don't really know what would make sense to say).
Do you guys think it's weird, given that we don't have mutuals and would that be a weird topic to approach him? He comes across (in the vid) as someone who's very introverted so l'm also worried that he probably will ignore it and not respond which makes sense, but if you guys had received a DM, would the chances be high (responding to DMs)?

Please dm me if you have extra harpur 2 tickets, will pay.

Please message me if you have extras!

Hi, for context, there was a recruiter who sent me an inmail and I replied to it prior to sending her a connection request (rookie mistake). After she accepted, I noticed that there are two conversations. Do you guys know if she can see both (as it will appear as one entire conversation for her) or could it be that the messages I sent to the Inmail chat aren’t seen by her/ she cannot see it? I’m wondering because it shows up as two conversations for me and one of them (the connection request) one is showing that she’s seen it, but it doesn’t show me that she’s seen the Inmail one (original one) and I don’t know if I should send the information I sent to the newest conversation on my end (the one I sent for connection).
