Anyone uses backup WIFIs at home? If so, what do you use? My home WIFI is good in general but sometimes stuck, it’s pretty awkward when I am presenting. Back in the consulting days the company gave us Verizon MIFI, and later switched to built-in SIM card in laptop. New company does not provide any of these so I’m wondering what I can do. Won’t use it a lot - just need to make sure when home WiFi is down I can quickly get online with another option on my laptop

My phones personal hotspot is a great backup for me.

I have had several over the last few years and the best by far is the Eero Pro 6. I got the three pack to make sure I have good mesh coverage and the pro version is better than the standard. There are multiple ways you can get 20-30% off if you can wait a little bit. Easiest way is to just trade in whatever crappy Wi-Fi you have now and they give you a 20% off coupon.

Right, Eero is just a Wi-Fi mesh network. Does not provide direct internet access but if OP is having Wi-Fi issues, that's not related to internet access either.

Are you sure it is the ISP and not interference from nearby WiFi signals.

If you have a iPhone run the AirPort app and see the strength and bands in use near you. You may be better off upgrading your WiFi network to get 5G coverage through the house.

Connect directly to the modem or router with a LAN cable. Connection never drops

Will you be issued a work phone? My backup is the personal hotspot on my work phone

How do you deal with a manager who expects 3 months of work overnight? I have tried structuring , creating a plan to show him how the activities are being executed. However, he seems to be someone who turns around every other hour to ask ‘Is it done’? I am usually pretty good at managing expectations but having a hard time conveying how unreasonable he is being. Despite being organized, I am coming across as scattered and jumbled since I have been working 15+ hours with no food and break daily

My boss in my creative agency threatened to fire me because I, a male, came into work with my nails painted.

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot. It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)
