I block my calendar from 9-10 am. If you’re scheduling a meeting with me during the first hour of my workday, you better be in Europe and/or really important (and preferably treating me to breakfast).

Hot tip, if you have dual monitors. Start a meeting with yourself and share one of the screens, it’ll look like you’re presenting. This usually works for me and if anyone still bothers you, tell them to crawl back into the hole they came from

I’d take 10am meetings over the dual 11am + 1PM meetings some of my coworkers schedule.

Thanks for cutting my lunch short, fam. I really needed to attend two meetings that simultaneously started late and ran over because we needed that filler convo about the football game.

I was like this but now I prefer to get all my meetings done before 12 so I can focus on actual work for the rest of the day uninterrupted.

I just got an offer from a company that I have mixed feelings about. Team seems great but Glassdoor reviews, not so much.

I don’t want to fall between two chairs for not taking this offer and then not getting any from other companies. What should I do? Best strategy?

I'm a first yr attorney at an insurance firm and am in the process of interviewing for an in-house position at a tech company. The position is pretty much generalist, but I get the impression I'd be working mostly on SaaS and partnership transactions. I definitely think I would like the transactional work better, but I am concerned about the long-term earning potential vs. partnership. How common is it to eventually make $400k+ in-house/how difficult is it to transition back to a firm? Thanks!

I am still applying to new jobs but I was told it is impossible to move up the grade level now. Everyone is telling me to stick with the government. What are your thoughts?

Suggestions for Python courses to learn automating manipulation of data that comes in same format every day?
For context, i work with FP&A a lot. I often receive daily/weekly reports of data that i have to aggregate. Doesnt take lots of time each instance but adds up over time and Id like to use these tasks as a goal to work towards as motivation to learn code. Gone thru hours of LinkedIn courses and nothing seems applicable. Are there better courses or should i be patient & trust the process?

Been seeing this guy for 1 year now. I just became an American citizen so have been getting more into politics. I lean left but the guy I’m seeing leans more conservative. He treats me so well and we get along great. Yes we disagree about topics but have respectful conversations and have both become more open minded. He doesn’t think it’s an issue. I feel like the media and the judgement of dating someone on the right is getting to me & making me have negative sabotaging thoughts. Any advice?
