Sometimes personality just doesn’t fit what’s required of the job. That leads to further anxiety and development of depression, where the only reasonable solution is to leave a job that better suits your working style/personality

Where available, alcohol. Otherwise i came to learn that it’s all about perspective. It’s still difficult for me at this point, but when i remember i try to convince myself that I’m no less than anyone who makes me anxious. That I’m a badass and yall better think i am one!

You’d be surprised at how many very successful consultants suffer from social anxiety. Find what works for you. Maybe start the day at the gym or yoga. If some activities are too much, take a break or trade with a college. You can make it work, just know your limits and accentuate the positive

Hi! I joined a startup last month and was offered 30,000 stock options with a value of $60,000 with a 4 year vesting period with 1 year cliff. What does this mean? Is it good? It’s the first time I’m getting stock options and I haven’t yet been provided the stock options contract (they said it’s coming).

Looking for recommendations: off-road/4x4 paths near the perimeter.

So my current situation: living ITP but recently bought a 4x4 Taco and want to make sure I maintain the system by running it on some dirt. Total beginner to off-road, not looking for anything technical (don’t have recovery equipment yet), so mainly just looking for an unpaved area I can run the 4x4 for a bit. I understand i’ll probably have to venture a bit OTP but any recommendations are welcomed! TIA

How do you push your manager to give you constructive feedback? My company is pushing for more performance based data collection to show growth and I feel like I never get actual feedback, just a lot of “you are doing great!”. I work in-house so there is no billing requirements to use as data, but are there other KPIs I should ask about?

I keep taking calls with companies because I get some actually good offers on LinkedIn (I work in a growing area of health tech) but I have no intention of switching companies at the moment. I like to test the market. What is the proper time to stop interviewing? I don’t want to waste anyone’s time but I’m also obviously passively willing to chat and look around at opportunities
