Does any have experience in working remote in both a traditional office environment and a remote first company? I’m curious if there is a much of a difference. Who is doing this well?

I've done both. The biggest difference I've noticed is that there's much more communication in remote first companies. They're all accustomed to using Slack and communicate constantly, whereas traditional office companies are more reliant on email and meetings.

Yup. I spent 3 years working for a startup that had a remote team and an office team. It was awful. The c-suite were in the office and would communicate with the office team offline, so the remote team was constantly out of the loop. Really frustrating when it came to perks and stuff too. The office team were family, and the remote team were numbers who were left out of pretty much everything. I love working for my 100% remote company that I'm with now.

After 2 years asking for a change in my position, today I was told once again that my request would not be honored. I know the best answer is to apply elsewhere. Knowing that it is late in the hiring process and many districts around me have initiated hiring freezes, please give me the best advice on how to look forward to next year:

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid." After obviously ignoring this for years, we are finally trying to do it before "it's too late" for both children.

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.

Do you all feel that the Health Insurance choice is actually all the same? The coverage is absolutely copy and paste for Bronze to Platinum and the deductible/copay is very similar.
I just don’t understand why we have the illusion of “choice” if the offer is the same and it is really bad (in our case).
Going from $61 per paycheck for 2.5k deductible 75% copay to $500+ per paycheck with 500 deductible 85% copay.
Other firms have better health insurance?
