How much does job security in your next role matter to you? According to the WSJ, a greater percentage of accountants are leaving the profession later in their careers now than in years past, and the WSJ is saying that job security in other industries matters less and less. Thought it was interesting, as I'm very much factoring in job security in my next move.

If you transitioned into the private sector, what drove you to make this decision? Thanks!

I’m a designer in the planning/landscape architecture dept. of a CE firm. Extremely frustrated that after 4+ years and multiple asks, I’m not getting the in-field construction experience I’ve asked for. I know that my designs could be better if I could see how things are actually built but I get slapped in the face with “I need you in the office designing/drafting” or “there’s no budget to have you go out” and then sends an intern to inspect instead. I’m 5 yrs out of college. Any advice?

Is Argyle, TX good place to buy home and raise family?

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.
