I had a moment today where I thought, what if I am in the wrong place to grow? Not because anything is bad, just because I keep hearing about opportunities elsewhere. It is hard to tell if that is ambition or just comparison creeping in. How do you know when it is time to move versus when to stay patient?

I like to see what’s out there at all times. I’m at the stage in my career I don’t need to stay at one spot to gain experience. How long you been in your role? If you’re have thought about leaving it might be time.

I agree with staying aware of the market. I think looking does not mean leaving, it just helps me understand my value and options better.

How long have you been there? Under two years, you're a little premature. After that, it's a reasonable consideration.

I partly agree. Time matters, but I think growth and learning matter more than just how long you have stayed.

Once someone told me, " Grass is always greener on the other side!”

I get that, but I think it depends. Sometimes the grass is greener, sometimes it is just different, so I try to look at it realistically rather than assume either way.

If you're asking yourself those questions, it's probably a good time to at least start looking around. That doesn't mean you have to take a job offer, but you might want to get some job applications out and see what might be available to you. It doesn't hurt to look around.

I think that is the best approach. I would explore without pressure, just to see what is out there before making any decisions.

Brigadeiro are scrumptious dulce de leche caramel bonbons, a beloved confection of Brazil. Brigadeiro is made from sweetened condensed milk, butter, and cocoa powder which is heated in a saucepan until it thickens and becomes a sticky caramel. Once it cools, it is rolled into a ball and dipped in multicolored sprinkles.

The iconic bonbon was named after Brigadeiro Eduardo Gomes, a 1946 presidential candidate. It was created to win voter support. (He lost).

I know I will get hated by saying this. Do you think gay pride events are portraying a bad image about our community to public? (Drugs, sexual, inappropriate clothes, and sometimes like strip clubs- some parts). I know it is right to present us but I just feel it is not the right way to show who we are. I wish the pride where everybody can connect in a more friendly way (outdoor game- team work, dance, drink something not too sexual.) there are some good parts of pride tho. Any opinions?

I have an offer to do some consulting for a company based out of the UK (I am in the US). The job would not go through a consulting company but would be directly with the company. I have not done any consulting before so I am not sure how it works, what I would need to set up (they mentioned that I would start a LLC and bill them directly, no idea how to do that), how to determine the tax implications of this, or what hourly rate I would expect. Can anyone offer advice?

I recently interviewed for L7 EM at Google and had 4 great interviews and one not so great system design. I submitted external referrals all of which gave great feedback. The recruiter said the next step is team match/interviews and then the HC. Anyone in a similar situation? What was the result? Google

Been 2 weeks since the final interview...and nothing has happened yet, not even a reference check. Is it a bad sign? Bay Area

Hi! I have a quick question and could use some advice:

I have 1 job offer that is an hour away and pays 45k, after negotiations (Research Associate Position at a University) .

I have just interviewed for a position closer to home and a base salary of 65k, but haven’t heard back from them in about 2 days (He said he would make a decision by yesterday and I’ve reached out).
I have to decide on the first offer by Thursday but I haven’t heard back from the second yet. Thoughts on next move?
