I wish I had known how much of my personal life I'd have to give up just to make enough money to support myself. Maybe I would choose a more social career if I knew. What’s your 'silent cost' no one warned you about in adulthood?

Doesn’t a social career mean giving up even more of your personal life to after work events?

:( ya

Mine is the same as you - feeling like I've had to sacrifice my personal life for the sake of my professional life. I work long hours and don't seem to have the energy to do much when I'm not working. Most days I just want to read on the couch, not socialize with friends.

I wish I had more friends at work I’m here so long

Retirement investing! I max out my 401k and there so little money left in my paycheck!

Also, how much of my life I spend imprisoned in meetings sitting idle.

Facebook Ads after iOS 14 changes.

I'll share my experience and urge you to share yours:

Since iOS 14 changes, Facebook ads isn't the same anymore. Why?

A. >75% iOS users denied tracking. They are no longer tracked across websites/apps. Facebook lost its edge.
B. Targeting and conversion tracking aren't as effective anymore.
C. Many advertisers have been migrating their budgets from Facebook to Apple and Amazon ads.

What's your experience? Let's all learn.

I’m job searching right now and applied for a job I was a little overqualified for just to shoot my shot and get my foot in the door with a great brand. The hiring mgr took the time to email me to tell me I was overqualified and offered to help me get connected to his network. He’s been so kind and helpful and I’m kind of in shock at his generosity. Even if an offer doesn’t come from it, is it weird if I send him a Starbucks gift card or something as a thank you? What’s appropriate?
