Haha! I had forgotten about the Pet Rock. I would definitely call that a master class in marketing!

You'd be surprised how many products people buy when they don't really need them. Marketing psychology is all about learning how to manipulate people's decision-making and emotions to turn them into customers.

I’ve taken the GMAT in-person three times over the past three months, 680/680/690. In that same time, my practice tests have all been 700+ peaking at 760 on GMAT Prep. I’ve learned all the concepts, honed in on weak areas, etc. but seems like test day my focus is off due to the anxiety and thereby my timing always gets rushed. Any recommendations? Trying to apply this R1 but so exhausted.

So, I've tried a few different positions and still hate practicing law BUT I was approached about a contract role that won't have billable hour requirements and I won't be steeped (I think) into the law firm's toxicity, so I'm wondering if it could be the closest thing to a 9 to 5 for law. Pay is hourly which seems weird, but I would have time to devote to hobbies and life generally. Has anyone been tempted by or accepted these contract opportunities, and what's your hot take?
