Confession: sometimes I write a really profound email that I’m proud of (at least from my perspective 🥲) and I’ll go back and reread it to admire my own work

Confession: even after proofing an email for several minutes I will still go back and check it multiple times out of anxiety

You're a person too, OP. There was something in what you wrote that moved a person's heart—your heart. And spending time admiring that positive accomplishment is worthwhile. Even better if you try to break down why and what exactly moved you. Tis a beautiful thing to we who communicate with words.

But definitely don't admire ur work in a boxing ring or u getting knocked the f*** out champpppppppppplz.

You can call your own work many words, “profound” isn’t one of them.

I work as a Solutions Engineer with primarily Enterprise clients. I’ve been in the field for 5 years now and in that entire time I’ve supported AEs directly through the Sales process as part of my technical job. I’m at 90k now and expecting a Senior promotion in 3 months, but interested in switching to a full blown Sales Engineer at a new company. What salary range should I realistically look for given this brief description of my experience?

I’ve been working in a surgical subspecialty as a new grad PA for the past 4 months in FL.

The SP is a condescending nightmare. Should I start looking elsewhere now or get at least a year in? I am starting to feel burned out already.

All my six-figure salary consultant friends are ranting about how poor they feel right now because their IRAs/portfolios are down. Think the people in this industry need to take time to volunteer or engage with some tougher parts of town and understand that by virtue of even having investment accounts, that they’re more financially safe than at least 50% of America.

Incredibly down right now. I injured my left ring finger on Friday and I still can't bend it inward to touch my hand. Calling to get an appointment with a hand surgeon tomorrow morning but I'm worried I won't be able to get an appointment quickly. If I ruptured my flexor tendon, I'll need surgery within 10 days to maximize my chance of a full recovery but I really don't trust Kaiser (my insurance) to make that happen. I'm a developer and it's going to be awful having a splint for 3 months 😢
