Did you choose the job you’re in or did you fall into it? I definitely didn’t plan it this way but glad it happened!

I can't say that I ever planned on going into finance when I was younger. But I'm glad I'm here now. I always thought I would be a nurse or something, but I ended up gravitating towards my data and math classes, which eventually landed me in finance.

My current position found me through a series of coincidences and serendipitous events. I not only didn't plan it, I don't think I could have planned it as I had no idea this position existed. But like you, I'm glad it happened.

I fell into it. I met up with a few friends for drinks a couple years ago and got introduced to a friend of a friend who also works in finance. We got talking shop, she mentioned an opening, and two months later we were working together.

Who else here feels like the entire restaurant industry deserves an overhaul?

Some days I'll make around $200 and other days only $50 and it's really not stable at all.

Confession: The only in-law that I had a great relationship with passed away unexpectedly. The two remaining in-laws were on thin ice with me prior due to years of drama, nagging, and disgusting display of wealth. I believe their demand of money and general assholish behavior drove in law to his death. I love my S.O. but I can’t deal with the drama anymore.

I want to have a family and a future that is drama-free and full of love and don’t want to surround myself with negativity.
