Pitching what? The world is on pause.

We have two active pitches

They are insane. The death count just surpassed SARS, MERS and Ebola. Coronavirus infections in just the State of New York are currently at 8,000 and near 50 deaths. To give you perspective, 8,000 was the same number of SARS infections *for the whole world.*

Getting briefed for a pitch next week. Business as usual—and I’m glad actually. I’ll be happy if I survive this pandemic still employed.

We are still in pitches, but did our first 💯 virtual/zoom pitch this week. Don't think people will be traveling

Amazons excessive interviews are an awful candidate experience. Why do they think this will help them win top talent in this competitive environment? Especially with their public cultural issues…? Lots of great paying companies without having to take a day off from work to interview! It’s overkill

It has been 2+ weeks since I completed the Interview & Psychometric Assessment rounds with Macquarie Group , but yet to hear anything from them. I also followed up with HR but with no response. For the record, the interview went well. Any idea if they usually take this amount of time to get back? If I got rejected, why not communicate directly?

HNY all! I have multiple rollover and traditional IRAs, as well as a solo 401k. But (since I started paying attention to this kind of thing) have always been over the income limit to start a Roth IRA. I’ve also not done much contributing in the last few years due to purchasing an apartment and saving for renovations. Cue pandemic joblessness... if married filing separately, would you say it’s a good idea to start a Roth while under the income limit, even in this climate? Any reason not to?

Stress is causing a massive flare-up of racing thoughts recently. I feel like it's been at least a week or two since I last was able to completely clear my mind.

Anyone else struggle with this/have a solution?
