Anybody here double fist their luxury watch on one hand, smart watch (in my case, a Garmin running watch) on the other? Is it in bad taste or acceptable?

I'm incredibly burnt out and have been actively looking. The interview process is moving much faster than I anticipated with two promising opportunities.

However I learned that another teammate is also leaving and my boss is taking a few weeks for personal leave. My impending two weeks may conflict with her taking well earned time off.

I know the agency is going to ask for me to stay longer if I quit but the very idea kills me. How do I decline that impending request without burning bridges?

Additional Posts in Side Gigs

My side hustle idea is offering a service of directly helping people get set up with a good process for their personal finances. It would include budgeting, setting up savings accounts, determining what the best vehicles/debts to put their money to are, etc. I feel like so many people could benefit from this. I don’t know if people would be willing to pay for a lower cost service like this if they’re not the kind of person that would hire a professional financial advisor

For those that have a full time job and a side startup. How do you manage doing both? I’m in pre-seed stages (<10 employees), and I’ve tried doing separate hours for one and the other. But that is causing slow response times to clients, and causing issues for burnout of the team. I’ve been told separate hours is the best way to make sure that you don’t get slapped with co-working, but is there effective strategies to make startup life more livable? 😩😫
