Day or weekend trip suggestions now that VA and MD have reopened? Would rent a car. Friends went to VA for the weekend and some hiking trails and wineries were open. Looking for other ideas besides Shenandoah/Charlottesville

Just went to Smith Mountain Lake for the weekend. (About 4-5 hrs from dc.) rented a house with a dock right on the water. We used inner tubes and kayaks but you could also bring/rent paddle boards, boats, jet skis, etc.

Does anyone have any advice for applying to remote positions? How do I stand out? Most of my experience is in healthcare, clinical and administrative. I want to go to school full time instead of part time and working remotely will provide a better opportunity to facilitate that. I’m applying everywhere with very few callbacks. I’m trying to get into tech as my degree is in Information Systems. Any advice would help!

Three observations from my market analysis this week:
1) Still work to do in repairing damaged trends with only energy and financials up over the last month

3) Setup for the week is concerning with OPEX, lots of data releases, and almost no IVOL premium - lots of event risk and limited hedging in place

I am interviewing at another company and when they asked me what my pay expectations are, I asked them what their pay range and expectations were for this role.
