Apparently I live in social isolation all the time, as my day to day life hasn’t really changed. 😆

I still have all the same work meetings, just over video conf instead of in person.

I hate the fact that I’m working 14 hour days but not bothered by the lack of social activities. I have been doing weekend zoom calls with friends. I would LOVE to go to the gym and get a decent latte but I’ll have to wait.

Just starting to crave some social contact. Spouse’s business is essential, so he gets to see people and still wants to hibernate on weekends.

Good. Miss dining out though and would prefer not risking it by going for walks outside, most are still going out without masks on (be awesome if this became a norm but highly doubt it!).

Enjoying my alone time, but work is crazy busy, ready for things to show down a little!

Currently interviewing at JPMorgan in their CIB division for a associate operations role. Have met with 5 people for two different teams and another person for another team, all of which I believe are 3 total open positions for 3 different teams. Any insight on the interview process or how long it takes or any sort of idea to give me on what I could look for that might help me believe I might get an offer?

I feel like I’m overlooked a lot because I like to think that my work stands for itself — so I tend not to network as much. Does anyone have any tips on getting better about putting yourself out there? Any tips greatly appreciated (just a bit tired of losing to the extroverts in 2021 still)

Does anyone else have “email social anxiety”? Not with writing emails that have to do with content/work I did, but when I’m “just checking in” and doing vaguely unsaid social things I’ve never understood well.
I feel super awkward and read too into things, it takes me 30+ min for a simple friendly email to a manager or above and I get worked up about it.
