I don't think it's all on the men. I've been in multiple situations where I was ready for something serious, but women wanted to live their best life. (No judgement)

However, I'd say that a lot of times, men here see all of the beautiful/successful black women here and don't find it feasible to choose just 1 (until they're older lol)

I’m a married man with kids, so it’s not everyone

Lol obviously I understand that. That’s why I specifically said “single men”.

When I was single and living in DC I was ready for a committed relationship but the women kept leaving. The three women that I dated in DC before meeting my wife, left for an internship or scholarship program etc. I was also a little younger than you are right now, I was 24 - 25 at the time. And maybe that just comes with being on the younger side, but my wife and I were 23 and 25 when we met so 🤷🏾‍♂️.

27 year old man btw

35F divorced with a kid. I think I will never get remarried or in a serious relationship again. Lots of men don't like dating women with children. At my age either the guys are past their prime, divorced/ing and have to provide half their income to their first wife. Many with kids live on the same street as their ex wives so they can be close to their child. I'm not comfortable dating guys like that. On the flip side there are the ones that were never married, which by this age cont

For the first time in my life, I know what I’m supposed to do at my job, with relationships around me and it’s all because the enormous sense of anxiety I used to experience evaporated during quarantine. I didn’t know that I lived with so much anxiety that it crippled me. I didn’t know I needed this time to myself.

I’ve put myself up for L4 promo this cycle. Assuming I get it, what would be the best next steps to optimize for long-term growth/TC?

My understanding is that L5->L6 is extremely painful at
Google. It may be easier to leave for a handful of years and gain managerial experience before returning.

L4->L5 is less challenging; however, I’m under the impression I can do this quicker at another company (if I leave after being freshly promo’d) AND get higher TC.

TC: 270K
