I strongly maintain that I will never be old or boring enough to golf

Yes, I am willing to die on this hill

It’s the most boring activity I’ve ever participated in, and the pretentious culture golfers have built is insufferable (see above)

As far as bougie sports go, shotgun shooting has a snobby culture but is at least fun. Skiing is both a fun culture and a ridiculously enjoyable activity. YMMV

Golf is fun though especially when it’s for work

Lmaoooooo, it changes every few decades. It used to be squash/racket ball, then golf, then CrossFit/rock climbing. Do what you like, a nice dinner will probably get the job done with clients

The rest spend time on what made them successful… work.

I recently joined company A on an H1b. Because of the immigration team's mistakes, we had to re-file and it took almost 4months for me to join from the date of the offer. As this was getting dragged on, I interviewed at two companies (let's call them Company B and C). After I started at company A, I received offers from both of them with 30% more TC. If I accept one of these offers, that H1b transfer will take another 2months. Will resigning from A burn the bridges? How should I handle this?

I had a surgery for ectopic pregnancy about two weeks ago and I’m still insanely tired. To add before the surgery, I was given one dose of methotrexate and my hemoglobin tanked from 13.8 to 10.8 between the first blood test ( May 1st week) and the last ( June 1st week). I think my tiredness is cause by a mix of low hemoglobin, methotrexate, and surgery. Any advice on how to get my energy back would be appreciated.
