I usually just use this and LinkedIn for career advice and inspiration. Other than that I'm trying to spend a lot less time on social media sites, and relying on my network, intuition, and research to propel me forward. So far it's been eye-opening, but I still find fishbowl and LinkedIn fun!

J&J or Google? I’m in final stages and expecting an offer on both ends. TC seems about the same but J&J is based in Skillman, NJ whereas Google is in Austin, TX. Non tech roles in the same domain - Main difference is that J&J seems to be a higher level role (senior manager) whereas Google is a more junior one (lead). Any advice?

I am in my early 30s and want something ‘casual’ from my dating life (basically a hot guy I can see from time to time, no strings). I am busy and don’t have time for anything else. Despite saying this quite clearly every date I go on, the guy seems to think there’s more to it. Basically the more I say- I want something casual, the more they push the whole ‘let’s get to know each other’ thing. Am I missing something here? It’s extremely frustrating

I feel like I'm not good enough, dynamic enough, doing enough. I ask open qz, probing for feedback. It all seems positive/constructive. With the toxicity, I don't trust any of it. Does anyone have any suggestions to navigate and overcome IS?
