Imagine telling prospective hires that RA is taking bullshit screenshots that you also took last year. Yeah, I guess saying it's "consulting" is the better option lol.

The recruiters might sell it that way, but I certainly don't sugar coat it when I do interviews. During the case study, we're not asking them how to increase revenue or reduce expenses, we're evaluating whether they can identify risks and systems and how to mitigate them. And if they've done an internship, they better know they're doing controls testing otherwise it's their own fault.

I feel like the key is more knowing why you are taking that screenshot and thinking if the screenshot is enough / know what purpose the control serves, etc. I transferred to PI from risk and that’s what I talked about in interviews

By PI do you mean performance improvement? If it is, do you mind if I DM, I’ve been looking into that group and would like more detail.

Soon I will be working on designing a shared home office for my husband and me. Any ideas for the best kind of set up for this? For context, I work from home and he does not, but he is also an attorney who needs a desk and space to be able to work from home when needed. Thoughts on two separate desks facing each other, on separate walls, along a single wall? The only thing that I think would be a little weird is if we were back to back, in case of my video calls for work
