Feeling really overwhelmed and wondering if anyone else has struggled with something similar: I’ve been with the same company for about three years and I feel like it’s time for a change of pace. Poked around on LinkedIn and there wasn’t a single listing I was interested in that I felt genuinely qualified for. Did I somehow fall behind or does everyone just have unrealistic expectations?

You’d be surprised what you can get interviews for.

Go and apply for the ones you feel unqualified for, I literally applied for VP positions as an analyst and got interviews (I swear - this is how crazy the market is at the moment). The worst that can happen is that you don’t get considered…

I second this! Apply for jobs even if you don't feel qualified. You might be surprised.

Yeah the qualifications can be very misleading sometimes. We ask for 4+ YOE for associates but we do consider candidates with only 1.5 too. So don’t hesitate to apply if you think you are a general fit and the job is interesting for you.

On the topic of intimacy with partners… I’ve been with my boyfriend for 2 years and the past year his libido has dropped to zero. Mostly due to work stress (he says). Whenever I try to initiate, he always shuts me down and says he’s not in the mood. I even touch him and he gets hard but stops me as soon as I try to unzip him. We went from once a week to maybe once a quarter.

I’ve talked to him about it and he says I should take care of myself. So frustrated. 😭😭

I have been working remotely since covid getting nothing but positive reviews. My company is not remote friendly and is now telling me I have to return to the office or I lose my job.
