Have you ever worked with a client with a terminal illness? Does anyone have any resources for clients who are dealing with this? Books, podcasts, youtubes, anything is helpful. Thanks in advance.

Yes... I have worked with clients who were dealing with terminal illnesses, and it can be a challenging experience for everyone involved. One resource that I often recommend is the book "Being Mortal" by Atul Gawande, which provides a thoughtful and compassionate perspective on end-of-life care. Hopefully this helps.

My sister is terminally ill and she loves "Everyone Dies." It's a podcast. I think it's on Spotify but I'm not positive. I would assume it's on most podcast platforms.

Well don’t worry. if you mess them up, atleast it won’t last very long

Can't really share this with anyone else, so thank you fellow fish for indulging. 3 years in, finally at a point where I can comfortably work 40 hours a week the last quarter+, and still be a trusted team member and major contributor. Normal tasks and collaborations now take me a fraction of the time compared to my first couple years / others on the team. 6 YOE and my TC has also gone up a lot from low 200s last year to high 200s this year. Hope to keep this optimal mix of WLB & progression 🙏

Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.

Do you think all these violent and hate filled attacks are because people aren't getting the emotional/mental support they need, whether it's therapy at any age or help they needed but didn't get from a social worker as a child? My coworker is sure this is the case, but I honestly think there's actually something deeper wrong either with how these people are being raised as children, or how the warning signs these people give off are ignored or swept under the rug to save face.
