My baby didn’t sleep until 8 months old but now they sleep from 7-7. Honestly every baby is different and what works for one might not work for you. Here are some things I found that helped: Merlin’s sleep suit, bath with lavender soap before bed, white noise / sound machine, swaddles, weighted sleep sacks, and rocking bassinet.

My baby was a good predictable sleeper as a newborn thanks to the snoo. I called it my coparent lol. I poorly transitioned him to a crib and we mostly bedshare now. Ngl I’m too tired to realize what I’m doing at night and I still breastfeed so I’ve instilled bad habits. Routine, consistency, and their own room is everything! The feed, bath, sleep sack, book, noise machine, lights out system seems to do the trick! Good luck!

How do I figure out spending with my SO? Initially I was paying for 90% of stuff (no actual bills, just going out). I talked to her and said we need to be more even. She was never proactive. She kind of got offended but we ended on a good note to split things. It went well for a couple weeks but now it's back to normal. She never takes out her card and only venmos me if I send her the request. She lets Venmos sit for weeks before paying them. I still let a lot of things slide.

I feel this is wrong…first, if you’re someone who constantly wants to be better, this doesn’t work. Also, what happens when you’re going through things and you’re not the best version? What happens is…the going gets tough and then one person leaves the other.

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
