As I prepare to go on annual leave tomorrow, I can't help but feel the pressure of tying up all the loose ends! From handing over tasks to my team to ensuring all urgent emails are addressed, it can be a bit overwhelming. I really need to remember to put my outnof office on! What’s your must-do checklist for the last day before heading out on leave?

I agree with all these steps, but I also plan for what I'll need on day one of my return. I usually make a checklist for then so when I'm back, I'm not scrambling trying to figure out what to do first.

That's a good idea. I have started a list now thanks.

You've already listed much of what's on mine. Making sure my team is prepared is #1, followed by emptying my inbox and setting my OOO. The other thing I always try to get done, time permitting, is prepping for any meetings or projects that will be awaiting me the week I get back. It makes the transition back from vacation to work mode much less stressful.

I get the same nervous feeling, but you've done everything you can and have to make your peace with that. They're professionals, after all. You should be able to count on them to hold things down until you get back, and I'm sure they will. Go enjoy your vacation!

I normally try to prep about a week in advance so I have time to get loose ends tied up, and hopefully have a bit of time for anything else crops up. All sort of merges together then so everything gets done.

I've done the important jobs and my tray is empty so I think I'm all ready. First annual leave this year!

Colleague B: "I'm sorry, A. Go ahead"
Colleague B: (said with much attitude) "No, B. You go ahead. I'm sure what you have to say is more important anyhow."
Everyone else on the call: *Stunned silence....*

Does anyone have suggestions for what a salary should be for a Digital Marketing Analyst | Paid Social & Performance Media? I have 1 year of experience, the job asks for 0-1 year of experience. I feel I over meet the qualifications in some areas and just meet them in others. The recruiter said 50k is the salary the company is offer. I know I can negotiate. What are your thoughts on what the salary should be?

Hi boys & girls!

Joined a big firm (Big4) not long a go and starting to feel like I got a good grip on my current work.

I've always been very technical, so I think that the only thing I am missing now is making sales. (I really wanna make partner)

Can any seasoned lawyer share tips and materials (i.e. books) which can help?

Would it be a good idea to join a Social Club where potential clients spend time? (gym/tennis/paddel/events)

Any advice welcome!
