Biggest issue is not feeling safe enough to say what's on my mind at work. High levels of sass and sarcasm seem likely to get me fired. 🤔

Hello, I am a TVC had a recruiter reach out to me a few months back and I wasn’t able to move on with the interview process because of the contract and was told to reach out when my contract was over. The recruiter has since been laid off and after doing some research I found out the new recruiter that’s handling my application. I reached out to him on LinkedIn but haven’t heard back. Would it be okay to reach out to him on the internal Google chat?

Is it a red flag for a firm to chase after you for months? Like are they desperate or do they actually want me? Big imposter syndrome over here.

I was just on my way to call my boss to leave my notice as my job was not at all what was promised when I was headhunted, and I just signed with McKinsey. However, before this my boss called me for a CTL as he felt I was unengaged and did not perform and I received a great severance package.
1) Am I “only” the winner here? I wasn’t engaged because it was a bullshit job, but I didn’t think I was doing THAT poorly.
2) Can I tell them I’m going to McKinsey? Can they revert the severance?

Do you include home equity in your net worth? I think the obvious answer here is “yes”, but how do you track your home’s value?

Just wondering the best way I can pull this metric into some spreadsheets I use to track all of this.
