I think we all go thru that! You just have to learning to be comfortable at high speeds. So may be try to ski faster on a blue slope you are already comfortable on. There is no substitute for practice here, once you get used to it, it will be natural. Just remember how you transitioned from bunny slopes to where you are now!

you can’t really think about how steep the trail is because you technique shouldn’t change. Just make wider S turns on a steeper trail and you will be down in no time

I’m hammering away here - one instructor told me to make up a mantra when I encountered scary stuff. So for a while when I was scared of ice, anytime I hit icy patches, I would repeat “glide and trust your skis”. That plus a ton of practice helped me get over the fears that were holding me back

Because of this fear when I get into anything that feels too scary. I’ve taken lessons, which has helped, but curious what tips (if any) this community has to progress in this situation. TIA :)

I was in your shoes about speed - practice, and more practice - once you’ve seen a variety of terrain - it helps confidence. What do you ski on / do you have your own boots? Eliminating those variables may also help boost your confidence

I watch elate ski school media on YouTube for pointers as well

I do have my own boots and skis which is good. I’ve been skiing a ton this season, so getting somewhat better, but I’m a perfectionist and have a hard time pushing myself on the steeps if I know my technique isn’t totally there! 😬

I was on bench for almost 4months after clearing the training. I was reskilling myself in MERN during that time. Now I have been put in a project where all I do is solve issues of the client's customers. This is not something which I prefer to do. I raised the issue but to no avail.
What should I do to pave my career path? I don't even have experience in relevant field for switch.
Pls help this junior.

After 6 years of temporary contracts and unstable situations, I find my dream job in my dream company. All of a sudden the world goes upside down and I get laid off. I start sending hundreds of applications, with only 2 recruiters getting back to me to say I don’t have experience for the job (this is how it works in Italy). Add a terrible health situation in my family and it seems there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Ugh. 😞

How do you manage going back into public accounting as a first time mom?

He is worried about my ability to be there for mom duties and also fully commit to work so curious on how other working moms have managed this - especially type A personalities. Thanks!
