This is me minus the races. I still find myself in a little bit of a rut from time to time though. Some of the normalcy of life and particularly parenting. Helps a lot to have small goals for achieve and vacations to break up the “norm” a bit.

Random hookups with hot interns and analysts

Being able to be comfortable.

Balanced rather than happy, but still enjoy meeting new people, dressing up and going to new places

Relatively happy in my personal life but I hate my job. Part of FIRE movement now but I’m still 6 years away.

When did you start? Do you have kids?

Not happy at all with the job but I do great work and this job finances the best parts of my life, so I’m content.

I have 7 YOE and applied for a position that is L4. I feel as if I’m overqualified for the position, but the Recruiter told me that when they say L4, they are actually looking for someone with 6+ years of experience. Is this true? I feel like I should be looking at L5 with my experience

Once when I was waiting tables, I had a guy pay me cash. The change was 45 cents, which I didn't give back to him because like who wants that. He then asked where the change was, and when I explained that I didn't give back the loose change, he made a big stink about how dollars and cents matter and didn't leave me a tip. He was a republican staffer on capitol hill.
