I am starting a new role at a small company in the online publishing space. The company needs a good project management tool. Is Asana the best option? I get the feeling that many people at this company are not tech savvy so I think we need something easy to use or it won’t be effective.

Are you using it mostly for task management? Asana is great and pretty simple to use. Monday and Click Up are also pretty similar

Yes I think task management is the main thing we will be tracking.

I have always loved SmartSheet

What do you love about it?

I used Smartsheet at my last job and liked it but I think it took some time to learn how to use it. Asana seems a bit more intuitive.

I think Asana is your best bet, I’ve used it for years at my agency and all of our clients (from tech savvy to not) have been able to catch on to how it works pretty quick!

SmartSheet or Monday I like but most of Marketing is mainly digital. What are they using now? Excel & Gsuite?

Good luck with landing a role in this climate! Sending much success your way! 🎊🎉🍾💕

Need help thinking through this…Debating leaving to a tech startup. Very early stage ($3-7M ARR), would have a big role leading strategy and Ops. It’s a cash paycut, which is a bummer but the equity would be pretty good. Just nervous about leaving before hitting the full manager role and taking a paycut in this market to bank on equity. For those of you have left, what kind of questions did you ask yourself to know it was the right time?

Hello!
I was wondering what kind of contractual or other barriers I might face if I apply for one of the big 4 while working on a project with them in my current company.
I am not too involved in the project but I was in a few meetings and went on a field trip with them as well.
The position that I am applying for is in a different team and city.
Will this considered “poaching” if the consulting firm hires me? Would they need to talk to my current employer?

Home reno financing question. Have a big project coming up in the $120-150k range. Funding sources are:
- 90k from a heloc around prime
- 10k from a credit card that offers promo checks at 2-3% for 12-18 months
- 375k in a brokerage
- 5-6k per month cash that I can put towards the project, loans, or brokerage

I don't want to stop funding the brokerage because my FIRE plan is less numbers based than "hoard like dragon until it's enough" but maybe I should... How would you optimize?
