Im a 5th year attorney. I decided to resign from my job about a month ago because I realized I treat myself better than my supervisor does, and I was totally burnt out. I decided to open my own practice and be a normal person and mother. My stress levels have reduced so much. I’m finally losing a few pounds, my hair isn’t falling out, and I’m actually excited about the next day. I’m just feeling so much better now.

Can I do an informational interview with you about that? It sounds like a great plan, but one that is mysterious to navigate for someone like myself that has worked for employers.

Have been discussing Neitzsche's Parable of a Madman in my English 10 class. It's super cool how a prominant atheist's message about what you should place your hope/trust in has actually opened the door for tons of discussion about how everyone (atheists and theists) at some point need to grapple with the question: What is the source of your truth and morals? And in this parable, Nietzsche kindof admits/laments that this is a tough question for atheists to answer.

Hi all, I’m negotiating my offer for a senior SE role. I see online that average TC is around 170k TC (70/30 structure). Is it reasonable to negotiate higher? Or is the pay structure pretty rigid per level? Also, any chance you think I could negotiate for RSUs? I am in Atlanta if that helps.
