Does any body else turn down/off chat and email notifications on their work laptop? I only have them on when absolutely necessary but otherwise I find this helps me feel less crazy, stressed, anxious and I can control when I get to things.

I actually do this as well. The chat pings make me anxious and it helps when I just mute my computer all together.

I go on DND on Teams when I need to work. The constant pings and emails make it impossible to focus on the task at hand. I check messages and emails every 20-30 minutes or so and triage if needed, but when every task is framed as an emergency and needed back ASAP, you can’t get too worked up about it.

I applied for a role a few days ago and found the relevant hiring manager today via LinkedIn. Should I send a follow up mail/introduce myself to this person. Would it leave a good impression or come across as desperate?

Btw, the person is in a “Talent Acquisition” position at the company.

I had final round interviews last week for the company I really want to work for. I have an offer from another company, which I communicated to the recruiter which expedited the interview to final rounds. I need to respond to the other company's offer letter soon. Should I follow up with the hiring recruiter for the company I want an offer from? Or just move on if I haven't heard back by end of this week?

I currently make 78k at Lockheed but I’m not doing what I’d like to be doing and i felt stuck and after many conversations with my manager and no solution in sight, I started applying elsewhere. I just recently got an offer from a smaller AI company for 95k that I plan to accept. I’m happy to make the jump, I just don’t know how my manager/coworkers will react when I tell them I’m leaving.

I'm SVP/strategy for a PR agency. I moved into PR, Healthcare, and Strategic Planning only 3 years ago.

Or that I'm qualified). But long-term, knowing account roles are so much more plentiful than brand planning in PR, I'm wondering if I should start thinking about account. Anyone here moved from strategy to account?
