I wish I was less serious at work specifically. One of my senior managers just likes to publicly bust peoples balls over things he is too cool for. For the most part it’s light, but I’m just not a fan so I am pretty reserved. Outside of work I’m a easy-going, goofy weirdo who does not take life seriously. That same senior manager called me the ‘silent assassin’ of the team so seems like I’ve managed well lol.

I act serious at work but outside I’m a big goof off. I wish I could get myself to embrace the goof off at work.

Haha same here. Would you consider yourself a serious person?

I'm normally very laid back but get extremely serious when deep in thought or stressed out. I wish I could be more chill overall

I have a weird personality because I am super personable but all super high-strung. Sometimes I feel bi-polar because I’m laughing and smiling and talking to people and overreacting and cursing the next. I’m a woman who has never done drugs but I’m considering cannabis to help me calm down a bit.

I’ve become more serious after 3 years at KPMG. Outside of work I can be very happy and goofy, but it’s really hard to be happy around constantly unhappy people. 😕

Just finished my first year in audit. Recruiter reached out to me for a role with a 30% bump in salary. Total comp included it gets closer to 45%. I actually enjoyed my first year and especially being done with busy season now feeling pretty good. Not at all actively looking to leave, but just looking for advice on if I would be crazy for not pursuing an opportunity for so much more money at least a little further. Really what I care about is my long term career more than anything
