Been living in a luxury building for about a year and start noticing that I have a mild cough when I’m in the building.

Anyone experienced anything like that? I’m not going crazy, am I?

Any bonus and payrise at Visa Inc have been communicated yet?

I've got some friends who work remote jobs, and every day I grow more jealous of them during my one-hour commute.

Early in the process with dream exit companies(A), closer to an offer with another company(B). (B) would be an alright progression and ~35% increase, but less than expected from (A) and also might not be the best long term career move. Assuming the offer from (B) comes through, and before I could reasonably delay to get to the offer stage with (A) should I decline, and if so any tips on how to not be a jerk. Leaning towards waiting for (A) but want to make sure I'm not being foolish.

Its in Texas, and the initial BK filing was made about 23 months ago. TIA!

What do you look for in a mentor?

I am feeling like I am the verge of a meltdown at my current job, and I have a variety of interviews but I’m having a really hard time making time for interviewing and my current responsibilities.

Dumb question - if we were to donate money to support Ukrainian military, how would it help them? Like who would buy weapons and how to give it to them while there’s a war going on. I would guess to bring things to western border and they would come grab but that seems risky still
