Found a cool platform for angel investing that I thought I’d share. Feels kind of like a shark tank style with pitches being presented on a newsfeed. It’s free and easy to join. The founders have also been super helpful with questions.


Here’s the link for anyone interested. Would love to discuss some of the pitches on there.

Want seek suggestions: if I’m not the at fault party of a car accident and the other party’s insurance called and claimed their insurer is at fault but their insured limit is only 25k but since the car is brand new (1month old) and totaled the value is way north of that. I called my own insurance company and try to go through with them and they offered a lower but close to purchase price amount. Should I go with my own insurance company and let them deal with the other party’s insurance company?

Can we talk about wedding planners and upsells? Things with our planner started out great, but now every other conversation she's trying to upsell this, that, and the other thing...with no real regard to our budget. We obviously keep declining, but it's starting to wear on us. Is this normal or are we looking at a serious red flag?

Hey guys, I’m currently in operations for one of the big banks. I’m trying to pivot my career to somewhere towards Data, to transition I’m almost done the Google data analytics certification, I was wondering what kind of position can I apply to as there are rarely any opportunities in Toronto for junior data analyst or data analyst in general?

Hey! I work on IT data analytics (with ServiceNow) but don't see myself growing my career in this area. I've had 2 years of experience, and would like to pivot to another domain/area. DEI, tech policy, or people operations have been of interest to me since I want to use data to enable decision making that positively impacts individuals and communities/populations. Also, I currently don't work with the standard tech stack (SQL, Tableau, etc.). Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Hi all, I’m a BM… but I have really been looking into a career switch, something more like a WFH job. But I would love to keep my salary or bump it …

Stop thinking you’re stuck.

Stop thinking you can’t pivot.

Stop thinking it’s too late.

How bad is it to reneg?
I’m moving to SF and got a job offer at a large startup. It took 2 months to get through the interview process. They have an offer out to me and I haven’t signed bc at the last second FANG reached out and said they’d created a position for me and wanted me to do a final round interview next week. It took me 100 days to get the first offer and I move in 5 weeks. I don’t want to turn down the startup because I need to survive but feel bad planning to reneg & interviewing.

I have been trying to get OUT of the construction industry for years, but I can’t afford to pay living expenses if I were to go back to school. How do people go back to school later in life with no savings???

I'm considering pivoting to copywriting because that's the part of my role I'm best at -- a lot of the account management stuff is draining, but I can whip out social and marketing copy quickly & I enjoy it. Wondering if anyone has insight / leads on making the jump from accounts to the copy side when applying for jobs? 5 YOE, 3 in-agency with a mix of automotive and pharma + a side gig as a published author with muliple books (hoping that'll help on the creative / copy end?) Thank you!

I'm currently an IT Auditor with 1 year of experience. I don't have immediate plans to change positions, but I would like to switch over to an IT business analyst role one day. How difficult would it be to switch? Is it worth trying to stay in this role for another year or 2?

What’s the best practice for responding to headhunters? How do you tell between a good recruiter and a bad one / spams? Should you give them your mobile number, and if not, how do you politely refuse to do so?
