I am starting right a bit uneasy to work from home. It was nice in the beginning-no travel, more time saved from commute, no need to put on makeup everyday, etc. Now the lack of social interactions is really weighing on me :( anyone share the feelings?

Sure OP. I feel that way and live with my family. It’s hard to make this transition - losing the interpersonal relationships, shrinking your network, not feeling “in it”, feeling distracted, being strangely emotional - people will have a variety of ways to try and cope with the abject feeling of “normal day to day” in a situation that is clearly not normal. As this goes on it’s going to come in waves. Remember none of us - in the world - have gone through this. We will try to normalize in whatever way we can and maybe we’ll adjust - humans are good like that. Don’t get dejected abs don’t get down on yourself. You will be okay and we will get through this - now deep breath. You got this and we’re here.

Need advice! I’m currently interviewing for an account executive role and there’s a couple of red flags that have come up. 1. They aren’t able to tell me when I would have to relocate for the remote role I applied for. 2. Midway through the interviews—-the team decided to bump me down to a level lower which changes the base salary and commission. The recruiter is also unable to disclose why the team made that decision which makes me uncomfortable. What would you recommend?
