Don't drink so much

If I could advise my younger self, I’d say: make decisions with care, and don’t shy away from the sacrifices or compromises you need to make now. They may feel heavy in the moment, but they’re what build a smoother, stronger future.

Tell my younger self it’s all going to work out better than I could have dreamt at the time.

I think college is too late for most. The real advances start much earlier. Tell my younger self that when I have children make sure they win the parental lottery and that they start life on 3rd base! Invest in their futures, good schools, maybe private schools, prioritize reading, exploration, and excellent grades.

I'm a fresh grad and I thought this would be my dream job... I became the 3rd team member in this location and the regional team leader helped me understand and learned a lot... Until about 4 months down the line, he announced to quit. It's about half of year now since I started to feel ever so alone, hopeless and helpless in the team. The actual work is within my capability, but takes me ages to learn coz the overall team is not so collaborative and lacks communication... Maybe I need anew job

Hi all! Is anyone here in Underwriting? Just want some thoughts on this as i’ve recently gotten an offer for an Underwriting Associate position and have never done any salary negotiations before. Does it seem unrealistic for my counter offer to be 12k more than the original offer? Considering that the original offer is roughly 8k less than the market salary. Plus i’m also accounting for wiggle room as i’m not expecting them to actually agree with the full 12k counter offer
