A dear colleague was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. A few of us would like to send her a care package. Any suggestions for a higher-end care package?

Oh that’s rough. At that stage it is all about comfort and soothing fears of unknowns. For breast cancer my friend received a big basket full of chapstick, super soft lap throws, soft bed bra, super nice soft pj’s, new AirPods for listening to podcasts and music and they included gift cards for her fav restaurants and food delivery. She had a small daughter so they included things to keep child occupied. She loved it and everything helped.

If in treatment she may not be eating but if she is think about organizing meals ie through mealtrain.com. Can include a meal as a delivery from restaurant but I do not know impact of SVB failure on some of the payment processing apps which is why I like gift cards.

Is there any advantage to telling a company you are interested in working for in the future where you decided to accept an offer from? Or does it not matter? I accepted an offer a week ago with a great company (Company A) that for this season in my life seems like a great fit and only strengthens what I have to offer company B down the road. Company B just sent me a request for interview and I want to keep the door open with Company B but they were just very late in extending an interview.

Just started in-house and my days are full of meetings with little time in between to analyze or process anything. Is this typical?

Maybe it’s like this just the first few days where I’m getting the lay of the land? But I suspect it’ll be like this for a while… Any tips appreciated.
