This isn't totally on topic but does anyone else have a deeply religious parent who won't get off your case about it? I prioritized a meeting over going to Zoom virtual church with my mom tonight and she started crying and saying I must find room for the Lord in my life. We spend plenty of other time together so I know it isn't that. How can I get her to see that it's never going to be as important to me as it is to her and I'm not going to prioritize it over my career?

Hi All,

Has anyone ever had to do the second step of an interview over slack? It was a legitimate company not a scam. The person I would be working with said the second interview after an assignment was over slack. They asked me in the first interview about my writing skills. They said since it's a remote company most people I'd never speak with directly and everything would be asynchronous through slack. Is this typical?

Anyone have tips for proper slack etiquette or resources to share?

From AdAge’s article on return to office -

As one agency CEO put it: “You can’t build a career on Zoom.”

For those that are fully remote, like myself, do you feel like your growth is capped?
