And how reliable are the buses in London? Are they always on schedule?

Mostly on schedule, yes.

There is an app called Citymapper that helps you track buses in real time. Sometimes when they're delayed, you get an immediate notification. It is also useful because you can save your commute route and the app tells you if there is any closure, also suggesting multi-modal alternative routes.

Depends on the day/time you travel, and your route - Wednesday/Thursday are the busiest.

I can’t comment on buses - but I find trains super convenient.

It largely depends on the route and at which stops you get on and off. Do you have more context on neighbourhoods you live in and work at?

Directions:

This question is completely dependent on where you start and finish. There are certain parts of the city where buses are better. Also, if you’re going West/East sometimes buses are better because a lot of the trains go north/south. In general the buses are reliable.

Don't actually have that disability, but hope you learnt something today ;)

When I was managing consulting projects, I told my teams that they should feel free to communicate with me if they had any issues or concerns. However, I also wanted their ideas about what they would do to solve the issue they are raising.

Situations can get "extreme," or small issues may arise when you are in the heat of the moment trying to accomplish your goals. That's normal.

But to change the pattern and prevent Burnout, you need to communicate with an action.

When I first got my job 3 years ago I settled with the title I have now (Marketing Coordinator) even though it’s not really fitting. I’m the sole marketer for 3 companies. I have 7 years of experience and answer only to the C-suite. I’m honestly juggling more work than 1 person should be doing and that makes my title/salary ($54K/yr) seem insufficient. What I’m wondering is, am I being unreasonable wanting a better title/salary and does my title really matter when asking for a higher salary?

Ask to see the employee handbook before accepting offer and read the fine print RE benefits. A later career profession who can stay under the owner’s radar could be ok at this job.
