How is Google reacting to coronavirus? Starting tomorrow and renting a room without kitchen, worried they’ll make me work remote as I was depending on campus for food, laundry, etc.

Are you working at G now? What’s your role?

Bay Area and NY are optional WFH, Washington recommended WFH.
Cafes are operating on reduced schedules but open.

If you’re starting tomorrow you would have heard by now if orientation was cancelled or postponed.

Can also talk to your recruiter about expensing food/ laundry.

If you haven’t already gotten in touch with your manager, do so. This is exactly the kind of thing that should be flagged and shared. Welcome to Google.

My entire worldview/outlook on my career and what I want has changed since covid happened. Can someone explain what being “of counsel” is like at larger law firms - are they independent contractors? Make their own hours? How do you get a gig like that? I don’t think I want to be a partner anymore.

My professional life at the moment is far from ideal. I’ve been on quarantine (long story, but a good one) for the last seven years. Royalties from my books don’t pay the bills. My entrepreneurial pursuits remain hampered. For the interim, I’ve been looking for a remote opportunity where I can leverage my skills in marketing, sales, social media, and elsewhere for a decent sum. I have a social media presence which, in recent years, reached millions. There has to be something exciting I can do.

Having confidence to take the next step in your career is all about the process.

Thoughts —> Beliefs —> Actions —> Outcomes —> Repeat

This virtuous cycle is a continuous feedback loop that builds on itself.

Focus on positive thoughts and let the negative ones float on by.

When thoughts become beliefs, take action.

Outcomes give you data to help adjust your approach and build confidence.

Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.

You can DIY.

A coach will get you there faster.
