Considering getting a string of pearls plant but after reading a bit about it online it seems like a hard plant to maintain. For those of you who have this plant is it difficult?

Loved them. I have so many of them and they are pretty hardy. Bright sunny spot but not hot afternoon sun. They have shallow roots so plant in a shallow pot and bottom water.

When you bottom water do you just let it sit in water?

I want one too but I have the same hesitations. I’ve heard lots of sun (including on the top of the pot, not just the pearls hanging down) and bottom watering are key.

Yeah same here at this point in my plant journey I don't want to kill another plant :(

Hey can someone refer me for a project manager role

Have an offer from a dream company but I'll need to go in at a lower level. Knowing that I can bring a lot of value to the company (read- I know my worth), I negotiated with the hiring manager to have a level/comp review 6 months after employment. If I hit all my goals (ie, prove myself) within that time frame, I'll get a promotion and salary adjustment.
QUESTIONS:
Should this be in writing in the offer letter?
How detailed should it be? I assume I won't know what goals to set till I start...
