I feel like I'm living vicariously like a flight attendant.

My routing since last Thursday: LGA-DEN-LGA-TAMPA-LGA-DFW

Not sure that’s the correct use of ‘vicariously’

Fair enough 😊

True story: someone thought I WAS a flight attendant once. I was wearing an all-black dress and I must have sounded super knowledgeable at the airport or…something??? And I got mistaken for a flight attendant 😂

Hi there!
I completed the last round of an interview (presentation) last week. Originally they said they would be calling my references & then make an offer accordingly.
Today they updated that they'd like me to travel to their HQ (based in Nordics & I'm in London) for the final round where I'd meet the CEO, the hiring manager and a couple of people in the team.
I don't think I'm the only one in the process - even though initially the last round was the presentation.
What are your thoughts?
