I've had the same MacBook pro since 2013. It's an amazing machine. I can't wait to update when the new ones come out in a few months

I second this. Have a mid-2013 MacBook Pro that still works like a charm. Considering keeping it for another year or so at least.

It depends on how you use it. I bought my current one in 2012. In 2018, I spent some $$$$$ to improve RAM and the hard drive. It works like a champ now. I’m also not asking it to do too much.

Got a midrange laptop about 3 years ago, mainly for gaming. (Note parents bought it for me, I’m only 20 now). I’m able to upgrade some of the components so bought some more ram and an ssd, likely will keep it for another few years then look to upgrade if still using it regularly

Recently I got invited to an interview with a decent growing company. I work in Executive Search and I am thinking of switching to in-house recruiting. During the conversation the recruiter made some weird assumptions about my current job. The interview took longer than expected and I feel like I have not delivered well. Was I wrong to expect in-house recruiter to understand the differences and similarities between in-house-recruiting, professional search and retained executive search?

How much stock do you put on benefits? I have two offers with stark differences in benefits. Job 1: role I want, but benefit sucks (2 weeks paternity leave, 20% coinsurance). Job 2: role is okay but higher level and great benefits (16 weeks paternity, 0% coinsurance, 5 more days of vacation). Total comp is the same though. I wonder if I should just focus on role but Job 2 is a large company, so I can move around after 2-3 years I’d expect. Thoughts?
