Yup. I think it’s better than introducing my situationship to my coworkers (speaking from experience)

I just do it anyway. A good amount of my colleagues have heard a few of my dating horror stories, so they’re more than happy to hang out with me and introduce me to their SOs

There’s no how, I just put on a dress and go !

Just want to provide an update.I went to the company party by myself tonight, not bad at all. So I am glad I went!

Trying to figure this out now. Normally I’d have no issues with it, but I recently started a new job and almost everyone I work with directly is remote. So basically I only know a handful of folks from my office who may or may not be there. I’m pretty extroverted, but still seems like a high chance of having an awkward time… so not sure whether sitting this one out is the right answer.

Not really. But once you get to the party, you can just drink and hang and try to have fun with colleagues… then sneak out when it feels awkward.

Why not? Opportunities are endless.

True

Not really, but the beauty of aging is the older I get, the less I care about silly things such as this. Judge me - I dare you.

I think I know the answer, but want to hear others’ opinions before giving up on the dream. I’m currently at $120k base with 6 yoe. Is there any chance I can get close to that as a fed in the IC? Or am I just looking at a GS11 step 1 that’ll hurt pretty bad? Are there any perks that can help offset the lost income like childcare stipends (the agency mentions a childcare subsidy on their benefits site but I can’t find what that actually means)? Thanks!

Looking for some fellow UK PM thoughts, please!

Work in Tech in the UK. Appraisals have started, everyone is being given a 5% raise, base, due to inflation. I'd been told I would be getting more than that to then be told it was < 2% more. Am I wrong to feel ungrateful?

For context, I've seen recruiters post about PM's with similar YoE asking for > £60k and I'm on less than 75% of that after this 'rise'. I have ~4YoE and been in this role about 18months. Business is not yet making a profit.
