Freelance creatives, how do you get medical/dental coverage and insurance (assuming you're not relying on a partner with coverage)? Or do you pay out of pocket for each expense?

How tough is it to break into a FAANG PM role at mid-level if you have less prestigious experience? I have 10+ YOE in product, but some was at a tiny meh startup that fizzled out, some was in the digital wing of a large old healthcare org, and though my current role is GPM at a “name brand” tech company, it’s on the smaller side. Went to a good-but-not-Ivy school. What qualifications and experience are FAANG companies looking for when hiring mid-level PMs? Can I break in at mid-level from here?

Downtown area gyms other than Equinox?

Looking for easily accessible gyms in Downtown/Crossing/Theater/Seaport area that are plain, simple, and lifting oriented. Somewhere within walking distance of Mariel area.

Paying $300+ to access a single location at Equinox with limited hours is ludicrous to me and I really wouldn’t use the “amenities”. Looking for free weights, cardio, etc. with roughly 4am - 11pm hours…

Where ya’ll lifting?

I would appreciate your perspective.
I am currently working on my MBA in a professional evening and weekend program at a highly accredited university. I am thinking about transferring to a much smaller private online program, specifically because they offer a concentration in organizational health, which directly builds on my doctoral research. Does great depth and specialization outweigh the value of a highly respected generalist degree?

Anyone struggling with interviewing and think its partly due to being an introvert? I continue to make it to final rounds always losing out to another candidate, no feedback given. I’m qualified for these roles and take the time to prepare. I think its a challenge to respond in the moment, plus I’m on camera, etc. I am worried I’ll never get out of consulting if I cant land a job. Anyone else struggling with the interview process?
