I'm single and decided that advertising isn't fun anymore and I'm pursuing other dreams. I got brave and took the steps to leave America and pursue a new life.

Hey guys! I just received luckily enough two offer from two big companies: one as a Senior UX in SAP Concur and another one at Microsoft as a Designer II in Microsoft Teams. The role matters until a certain point to me. What does it matter is career and learning perspectives. Do you have any previous experience with one of the two companies? All feedback or comment is very much appreciated, thank you!

I left my job without having anything else lined up otherwise I would have had a mental breakdown. I’m not even in that great of a financial place, but it was my job or my sanity. I know at least three other people who, in the past few months, have left with nothing lined up. I feel like it’s something we need to be talking more about. This isn’t normal for people to be doing this right?

People always compliment how soft my skin is, I honestly think it’s because I don’t shower daily so I never have to use lotion and my skin has a natural oil balance. I usually shower every other day or every 2 days. Unless I sweat or get dirty… Showering everyday is such an advertising concept, a whole industry is built on it, but we were not meant to shower every single day, 50 years ago most people didn’t
