I graduated last year but my friends from my hometown (we’re all back here again) are very wealthy and are on gap years/ gap lifes, and I have fomo bc I have to work and can’t stay out every night or drop everything and go to Mexico with a days notice, does anyone have tips for getting over this jealousy?

Broaden your social circle. You don’t have to ditch your existing friends but make additional friends from different walks of life

Today was one of the most blah days in a long time. Demotivated. Unrelated, last week turned down a “loose” offer for a FAANG job because I don’t like big corp culture, but wondering if I made a mistake. Listening to the Traveling Wilburys with some G&T though, which counts for something.

Wondering what you would do. Cuban dad, white/British mom, dad didn’t speak Spanish in the house growing up. Somewhat Hispanic features and only speak the language some. Definitely love my Cuban heritage with food and music, and my kids respect that too. My birth certificate says Hispanic. Should I identify as Latin/Hispanic in a job application? I feel it’s appropriate but feels a little culturally appropriating. I’m not applying for anything at the moment.

Rant: Help me to understand why some people here on FB will say they will refer you, say everything looks great, but don’t want to answer questions about their experience with the company? Or they sit on your resume and job IDs like the roles you’re wanting are going to be around forever? Don’t get mad as I find someone else to submit. Don’t say “DM me!” and then don’t follow through! I could just apply myself, lol
