Have you ever taken a job you know you will hate because you needed the money right away? I have a family to take care of. I don't want to be plowing through our savings for selfish reasons like my mindframe at work, but I don't want to make our lives worse by being miserable. It's a matter of really ruining some of our financial future if we don't get money soon.

What are the healthcare options like in India? I'll be needing regular care and I'm not sure what the insurance providers are and if care works differently in general.

I’m almost 2 years in to my first job out of college and am experiencing my first burn out. Where did my love and passion for my job go? The effects of a toxic manager are really setting in. Please tell me that it gets better if I find a new position! I want that love for my career back.

I recently took up a Customer Success Manger role at a engineering software company. Previously I was a Project Manager at the same company but wanted to move out of my engineering services role. I primarily took this role hoping to get exposure to providing SaaS services as company is transitioning at software cloud. My long term goal is to move into tech as my current customers are mostly in O&G. Is customer success a good entry point go get into one for the big tech companies?

I’m looking to take some certificate classes. Can anyone point me in the right direction for affordable online classes?

Thoughts on the Discovery session 3 premier?

Anyone else read the captain “autobiographies”? I’ve read Picard and Janeway. Just discovered there’s a Kirk one.

I saw the TOS episode “Spock’s Brain” the other day. It has to up there on the list of worst episodes of all time. Even the title was dumb. What episode do you think was the worst?

Star Trek discovery the biggest piece of shit ever? Bunch of special effects and space karate. Gene Roddenberry would be rolling in his grave

I didn't think I would like the Lower Decks, but I do. Since it's a comedy, I had low expectations. No one asked for a comedy, but I'm glad they made it.
