Child of immigrants here - my parents worked very hard to provide for my education and for that I am very grateful. But they also put a lot of pressure on me growing up to study and eventually to grow up to provide for my family. In part as a result I developed severe anxiety and depression in law school. I’ve since gone to therapy and I’m actually pretty happy with where I’m at right now in my career. But I struggled for many years. I recently told my mom the whole truth about my (cont).

Looking for relationship advice: I got married 18 months ago. It wasn't an arranged marriage at all but we had done long distance for a long time before we got married so hadn't lived together or even been in the same city for more than a few weeks at a time for a few years before getting married.

Found out my crush isn't really into physical touch. But I'm really into it. Idk how this can work 🥺 I'm constantly doubting that he's into me because the physical isn't there even though he shows it in ither ways.

I am responsible for building/starting and managing 4 different departments; Partner program, customer success, inbound/outbound sales and marketing. This includes building strategies, managing day to day, managing a sales team, build out marketing plans, and also producing my own outbound sales, yadda, yadda, yadda.

I’m in a process for a role as Enterprise Sales Director (no reporting people under me, it’s a normal sale role) with a big Language and Localization company in Europe.

Curious to what an average salary for a IT Account Manager is? I feel I am underpaid (50K base). My yearly quota is $700,000 and I have hit that in the first 7 months. I do make 10% of what I sell.
