Thanks. Drunk and fat fingers

As a single mom, I often meet men who feel like they donā€™t have to try or who feel like they must be good enough for me because Iā€™m a single mom, so what options could I possibly have. This is SO wrong and I can sniff it out in a second.
I would also be turned off if someone was so focused on their separation/divorce that they couldnā€™t focus on building something new and fun with me. Maybe this is the issue youā€™re experiencing with never-married women? Highly recommend focusing on your own emotional maturity and security first for 3-6 months and trying later.

As a divorced man - this actually makes sense to me.

Do you have kids? What makes it hard? I'm a never married single but I've dated several divorced men.

Selection of?

I work on a small 4 person remote team- 2 peers and our manager. My 2 peers were recently hired and started in February this year. I actually trained them since I have held that position (Manager). I have been at the company for 6 years and moved to a Sr. IC role. My skip-level was previously my direct manager. My manager told us about a plan to meet up in person this summer for team building. It slipped in a meeting today that everyone but me is included in going. More in comments.

Looking for some advice on a couple of offers I have.

The first offer is for an Account Executive position at a smaller company with a base of $50k and another $20k in OTE.

The second offer is for a BDR position at a larger and faster growing company with a base of $60k and another $20k in OTE. Also some stock options but they arenā€™t public yet.

I have 2 YOE as a BDR and think I could succeed in either position. Both have hybrid work set ups. Any thoughts or advice is appreciated! Thanks.
