Love your self-awareness and honesty. Kudos!! Personally wasn’t an asshole, but worked with and against a lot of them. If you’ve really grown up and better, show it daily in your actions and be sure to call other assholes on their shit. Give them the wake up call you’ve received.

I was absolutely the terrible 20-something in my early 20s.

I was asleep. Egotistical, cringeworthy arrogance. Humility is a good thing. So is therapy

Looking for advice for investing in these two options. Say I have $100k by October saved up

2) Put $0 in ibonds and put all the $100k in the home investing (given it’s a little more of an expensive property, given some other factors - location, size, etc)

If I was a junior on a team during a campaign launch, is that something I can put in my book? I helped during the concepting phase, was responsible for keeping the boards up to date, and wrote a lot of the supporting materials (print, social etc) but obviously I was not on the shoot or the lead on writing the script. As long as I’m clear about my role is that acceptable?

I'm in a new role, and working with data on a scale I haven't seen before (petabytes). When you are designing complex logic at this scale, what is your approach for load testing? I've been working with a tiny subset of data, but now I have a couple ideas I want to test and compare on a larger scale, but the scale of this data is honestly overwhelming to me.
