Do you think that the East Coast or the West Coast is better to work in logistics? One has Asia, one has Europe and Africa. Any advice on where to turn?

It really depends on what type of logistics you are looking for, as each coast presents its own unique advantages when it comes to working in logistics.

It really depends on what your goals are for working in logistics, as both the East Coast and the West Coast have their advantages. On the East Coast, you have easy access to Asia, allowing you to easily partner with suppliers and manufacturers as well as explore new markets. On the West Coast, you have closer proximity to Europe and Africa, allowing for better trade ties within those regions. It might come down to whichever coast is more convenient for you or where your existing contacts are.

It will depend on where your company needs to ship goods most often and what type of logistics services they need. It would be best to research both sides and decide based on your specific needs and preferences.

I impulsively spent $400 on concert tickets before I left my last job. Now I’m entering my third month at a new job and I’m worried it’s too early to take off to go. At the very least I would have to sign off an hour or two early to be able to make it on time. But I feel awkward asking because generally I wouldn’t take off this early. For context, I have unlimited PTO.

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.
