It has 14 likes/laughs right now so I’d say it’s at least a little bit funny

I didn’t just move here but it’s been very fun this summer. Very different vibe but the streets are like a block party. Winter is going to suck and I’ll definitely retreat home for a bit.

I did! The lockdown has been a bit of a bummer, but I don’t mind it too much. I’m still able to (safely) grab some to-go ice cream on the weekends and eat it in a park, go for a run in Central Park, etc. I am just glad I went with a nice apartment with huge windows or else this lockdown would have sucked.

18 months too quick to change jobs?
-Graduated 2020; high GPA, internships, finance
-Starting PT mba at top 15 school this fall

1. Analyst for 10 months (low pay; took the job in mega Covid as all other hiring stopped)
2. Analyst 18 months (tech company, good experience, 15k more per year, small/can’t promote me yet)

-Recruiters reached out with senior analyst roles so I interviewed just to see (really like a few, 20-30k base salary increase, awesome benefits, promotion, good culture/reviews)

I'm an RN of 7 years, experience as a coordinator, on committees and do all the things. But now I just don't want to go to work anymore. I have anxiety every morning over nothing, just having to go perform my job. I could do my job in my sleep so I'm just lost and confused. My body is clearly sending me messages to leave. But where do I go? I think I need to step out of patient care.

Any WFM nurses out there? Better work-life balance??

My sales lead just gave me my quota for the year. Its increased 120% from last year. I asked if my peers experienced the same increase and the answer is No because I have more experience and up for promo this year. Our bonuses are a % of quota achieved meaning it’s harder for me to get a bonus. Do you think this is fair? What would you do? For additional context, I crushed my quota last year but I feel like I’m being punished now.

I just received an offer on a job I would really like to accept. The salary offer is about 25% higher than my current salary, which I am happy about, but is also the low $ on the range I had expressed to the recruiter and the exact $ that I put on the online application (I had to put a $ figure). Am I being greedy trying to negotiate for a bit higher? Do they expect me to counter? I have been burned by NOT negotiating in the past but who can be mad at a 25% increase??

Do you all think I should put open rates and CTRs on my resume for email marketing? I'm a copywriter (obvs) and trying to show results.

And what would be rates worth bragging about? (I have looked up the average rates but not sure if I should include analytics if it's just above average. Like say 35% for open rates and 4% for CTR.)
