I was reached out to by a hiring manager from an agency that I've always thought was cool. I had my first round and have been given a take-home test. I appreciate them because they give me a glimpse into what the real job will entail, but when I went to the agency's website, there were no openings posted. I don't want to get trapped in some free work agenda. Would you ask about it?

For added context, I have an MBA, have focused of business development so understand sales and dealing with customers.

Feeling really sad about friends I have drifted apart from despite efforts to stay in touch. My best friend from high school and I haven’t seen each other in about 4 years, I messaged her a year ago, got a nice response from her, and I tried keeping the convo going but she left me on read. Offered her and her boyfriend tickets to join me and my boyfriend at a concert in fall 2019, left us on read with no response. Her bday was last week and she left my bday wishes on read too. I’m so sad.
