Hiring timelines are so random and unpredictable. One role moved me from first call to final round in 10 days and then went silent for 3 weeks. I keep replaying the last interview. How do you stop overanalyzing every pause?

Sorry to hear. You can beat yourself mentally every time this bs happens but the simple truth of the matter is that it’s advertising. It’s chaotic by nature so you can’t waste energy trying to figure out the rhyme or reason why stuff like this happens. Chalk it up to terrible internal communication. I know it’s easier said than done but you simply have to “embrace the suck.”

Wishing you luck.

You have to remember that whatever happens now is out of your control. Rethinking the interview over and over won’t change anything. The waiting game sucks, but it’s important to remind yourself that it’s out of your hands.

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid." After obviously ignoring this for years, we are finally trying to do it before "it's too late" for both children.

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.
