Welcome to the Philosophy bowl! The goal of this bowl is to discuss principles in philosophy that we can apply to our lives and fortify ourselves for life using our collective knowledge. It is also to help one another as we all struggle at different points in our lives. Personally, philosophy has served as my northern star that I use to navigate through life’s storms. Hope you all enjoy and please share this bowl with anyone that you believe will benefit. I will be posting later today

Staying at a Hilton in NC and discovered a massive blood stain on one of the pillows after one night. The stain was clearly there before I arrived, but I did not notice until the next day. How many points?

I accepted a new offer and put in my notice this week and my company provided a counteroffer. The offer is lower than my new offer but I know it’s the best they can do. Financially I do need the money but I’m also tempted to stay because my current team is so great. I have 2 questions 1) when does it make sense to prioritize workplace happiness/ balance over financial well-being? 2) if I go back on my offer acceptance should I consider that bridge burned?

Sr Digital Analyst with MBA and 4 Years experience ?

Travel and TTC combo haven’t worked. After 6 months, the only offer I got included 4 weeks paid and FLMA only after 1 year. So 1) go and risk laughable benefits or 2) stay but risk TTC. So shitty 😭

Incoming MBA, I have my tuition paid for and rent covered (I will be an RA). So the only thing I need to pay for is food and entertainment. Do you think 20k is enough to last me through the 2 years?
