Do you have a dream job? Not the one that sounds impressive on LinkedIn—but the one you’d love to wake up and do every day. Has your dream job changed since you started in media? Are you working toward it—or did it shift along the way?

Yes and the more I work with people who really want to work in the media (like REALLY want it), the more I think I am meant for more pastoral or creative endeavours

Ahh I love when people are super passionate about their job because it really makes me feel passionate about it too

I used to dream of being a foreign correspondent .. chasing stories across continents. Now? It is running a quiet, independent newsletter where I get to write freely and connect directly with readers. The dream definitely evolved with the burnout.

I think it’s natural to have your dream evolve as you get older and want different things too

Has anyone moved away from NY and successfully resigned from the NY bar? What are the consequences if you just don’t pay? The requirements are insane to officially “resign” - draft a motion, pay a fee, send proof of service - I honestly do not know what this nonsense means, I’m not a litigator for a reason. Is there someone I can pay to do it? Should I just pay the $375 to stay active to avoid this nightmare?

How do you handle the next day after being up until 4am the night before on a deal? My other deal teams don’t know I was up so late, but obviously I’m going to be much slower in the morning. It sounds whiny to say “sorry for the delay I was up all night” when everyone else is also so busy...
