If offered a project that requires weekly Sunday travel can you decline? Has anyone had to travel on Sundays & what has been your experience? Trying to find balance btw work & personal/mental health.

Weekly *recurring* Sunday travel is not something you should be required to do. You need to take care of you and should not feel ashamed of setting correct boundaries. Have a conversation with your supervisor. And if you don’t like that answer, find an MD to talk to

They’ll require Monday red eyes tho if you don’t go on Sunday. Just because it isn’t local doesn’t mean you can’t have you time at your destination

Need advice. I have a client who just can't stop getting in their own way.

I can't keep anyone on this client because their process is so brutally and unnecessarily time-consuming, and I can't keep pulling all-nighters just trying to respond to all the questions.

One item borrowers shopping for mortgages get too caught up in is rate. Most borrowers don’t know how to read a loan estimate and get taken advantage all the time. Just because a lender/bank offers you a low rate doesn’t mean it’s best deal. Most cases, especially now since rates have gone up, you are being charged points for some of these lower rates in the 4s. If you don’t know or understand discount points feel free to shoot me a message and I can help you review estimate and see if can beat

Has anyone dealt with parents that never listens to what you actually need? All I need is support and empathy, but they always hand me oranges when I ask (specifically for apples). They think they are doing their best to care for me. But when I explain that I’m not happy at work and all they do is shame me for not being strong or smart enough for it. They ignore me when I keep coming out to them as gay (had to do it multiple times), and still keeping asking me to get a bf. I’m so bottled and mad
