Clearly not here

For networking or in general?

it depends on the setting you're looking for. I've met many new friends on the nightlife and after hours. if you don't do drugs there's many volunteering opportunities here, great way to meet people. in general Houston has been the best scene to meet people in the country as far as I can tell. depending on your age demo, and your race mix of course. I'm a funky Asian and Hungarian mix so compared to other places I really like the social diversity of inner loop that isn't as vibrant in Dallas or Raleigh for example

Whenever i have a big deadline, my body goes into a panic mode where my energy immediately goes to figuring out how I’ll get something done well and on time. Outwardly, I don’t seem stressed so no one notices but actually I usually feel like I have a cold: fatigue, headache, sore throat, sinus infection. When a task is done, i stop feeling like crap. It’s been like this since law school. Any tips on managing stress or moving towards doing good work without my body shutting down lol?

Hi All
Anyone from marketing or product teams here. Looking for roles for Sr Manager and above.

What are your thoughts about putting an explanation for the current gap (as in, I haven’t been working for several months) on your resume, LinkedIn profile or cover letter? If you think it should be included in one of these places, how would you do it?

Did a first interview with hr rep, went very well. she set up the hiring manager meeting for a few days later. Met with the manager. Another great conversation, went over time and was told I’d hear back about panel set up. Following day I get a request from hr rep to “continue the conversation” with manager. This is set up Tuesday.
Why do you think the manager wants to meet again? Good? Bad? I felt great about the interview when we ended.
