Has anyone started a new job and felt they made the wrong decision? I took a job when public was kind of at its worst, and now I’m having second thoughts.

Have any of you felt your careers aren’t progressing as fast as your yt contemporaries? I just went down a LinkedIn rabbit hole looking through the profiles of some women (non-black) who I worked alongside 12-15 years ago at internships and entry level roles. Almost all of them are director level. I’m still struggling to get to manager level. All of us started in media roles then transitioned to tech in the last 5 years or so. Has anyone else noticed this?

Lately I’ve been feeling like all my friends and family around me have such great careers and are very successful and I’m behind. I would like some help trying to figure out what my next career move should be. I know I’m capable, I just don’t know what I should be looking for in my next opportunity, or what (strategically) I need to do to work my way up the ladder. Any resources or suggestions of who I could hire to help me figure things out?

Do you guys think that schools maybe middle/high school should teach economics/investing early on? There is software out there that will let you place hypothetical bets and will follow the markets real time.

How to deal with an overly paranoid family member? I've been working from my parents place for the past month and my brother recently came home for the holidays. Out of all of us, my brother is the most cautious, but to the point where he is paranoid. Like, he will wear 2 masks, doesn't see anyone, uses hand sanitizer after touching anything (like his shoelace), and doesn't use grocery store baskets (holds everything). I respect his habits and I've been pretty cautious (cont. in comments)
