I’m a full-time chef and part-time entrepreneur, earning about 50k a year. I want nothing more than to transition fully into entrepreneurship or a role that challenges my mind and leadership skills, but the risk of commission-only pay makes it tough with my current expenses. I never went to college—I've learned through years of cooking across the country. I’m looking for advice on industries or roles where grit, adaptability, and leadership matter more than degrees.

I feel burnt out by how ruthless the tech industry in US is, but I also know I’m making much more money than people outside of tech or consulting.

How do you adjust your WLB?
I’m so burnt out that I wish I could yell at people who were not kind or supportive to me, but those people often unfortunately were in position of power.
I don’t like unkindness, but my anger is just very bottled up…
What can I do to stay level-headed even when the other side is disrespectful?

Is it okay to buy a home worth 660K for a couple earning 325K TC together? The HOA and taxes for this home bring the monthly payment up to ~4.8K which is ~32% of our monthly take home after tax…we’re first time home buyers, any advise is appreciated!

Big Ass Fan - Haiku - has anyone purchased these and can recommend it over other ceiling fans?

About to close on a house soon, and looking to smart automate a lot in the house with fully integrated devices - but at over $1K a pop these things aren’t the cheapest but I’m convinced we’d get a lot of use out of these.

Hi everyone,
I am looking out for a job in Forensic/Fraud/Whistleblowing Investigations. I have 7 years of experience in this field. Reference would be appreciated.

I am not aware of any such openings.
Please revert if your company has such opportunities.

Thanks

I realized I've been a dummy for getting a job at a creative agency and not working on my portfolio. Most of the projects I've taken on, I've done so as a way to support others without taking much credit for it. Now, a better opportunity came along and I don't have anything to show for my talent as a designer. ALWAYS take credit for what you do, even if it's not your project to begin with.

Just negotiated my lease down another 5%. Went down 4% last year too. Probably means I could’ve pushed harder last year, but still nice.

Local Prometric has 3 test slots per day (830 AM, 1 PM, and 5:30 PM). Proctor was telling me that someone come in Wednesday and took three sections consecutively. And I was proud of finishing one...

I’m a breast feeding momma trying to find a wfh because pumping at work is too much. So for right now I’m working as a banker looking to work at a fintech company. Doing something in operations or finance. I have about four years of banking experience and three years sales. Any suggestions of fintech companies or what positions I should be looking into?

Anybody do Getaround or Turo on the side? If so, what has your experience been?

For startup founders/people with a successful side project: How did you get the idea/inspiration for your business? I’m currently working at a Series B startup and my end goal has always been to found my own startup, but I graduated from college 2.5 years ago and I still have not had any great ideas cross my mind. I do spend a fair amount of time brainstorming. I don’t want to continue working here forever, but I’m struggling to generate that “this is it” idea to build a company for. Any advice?

Friends, need some feedback on an idea:

I’m thinking of starting a podcast interviewing leaders at startups about their experience with specific challenges - I know, cliche, get a more original hobby, etc.

Not looking for the narrative arc of How I Built This or Masters of Scale. Instead, looking to uncover specific problems faced by companies that tried something new for the first time. What did they not see coming, how did they adapt and measure, etc.

What are your thoughts on this format?

Anyone interested in fashion? Stated a clothing brand. Need sales.

What’s a profound way to start a business? The desire to make social and economic impact? Or personal wealth? What should be the main driving factor? I’m curious what your guys’ thoughts and opinions are on this. Feel free to drop a comment :)

Need some timely offer advice. Currently at a Pre-IPO tech company (IPO in next 18 months extremely likely) & evaluating what it would take to jump to a seed-stage startup prior to offer negotiations.

Pre-IPO tech, BizOps:
+ Cash comp: $250K
+ Equity: $130K/year at current internal valuation

Seed-stage, Chief of Staff:
+ Currently valued at $100M after $12M in financing

This is for a BizOps role & they have a team of 20-30. What cash + equity % would make sense to switch over for?

Side hustle or startup ideas for someone who isn’t technical/doesn’t code? Where should I look or where to begin? I don’t have any strong passions or specific skills that I’m confident in. What books, articles, blogs, orgs, events, people I should follow for inspiration that has helped you? I have some cash to invest and am looking for a part time hustle that can cash flow at least a little bit of money on the side.

Recommendations on the best podcast, book, or other medium to learn more about “entrepreneurship through acquisition”?

Why are people so caught up in job title? Literally people have turned down jobs paying 2x their salary because job title is lower. Who cares!!!

Hi guys, a plea for help here 🙏🏻 have any founders here gotten an O-1 visa or an H1B transfer into their startup? Would greatly appreciate hearing your advice / experience over DM

Just joined a 300 person startup as a mid-level manager. Is it appropriate to send email to C suite to say hi and introduce myself?

Apologies in advance for the rambling post. Maybe more of a confession but feels better to post here. There are a few people in my life (either family or acquaintances) that have become beyond successful. I strive to follow in their footsteps but have no clue how to do so. I am “successful” as an attorney and am doing my MBA, but have long wanted to start my own business and have no idea what that would be. I noticed two of the people I referenced above have become successful due to their…contd

Let's vote! Which startup type is most likely to have a dysfunctional or toxic work culture:

Helpful: Single founder bootstrapped startups
Smart: Single founder funded startups
Uplifting: Multiple founder bootstrapped startups
Funny: This poll is dumb.

Comment if you would have selected multiple founder funded startups!

Any good recommended books on how to build a scalable product and team? I'm looking for recommendations for two areas: 1) in general laying the groundwork in a startup to have the tools and especially processes in place to scale, and 2) tactical focus on building a SaaS project. I've been promoted into a management role from Dev roots, so need to learn more PM processes to be an effective manager in day job, plus would like to start building my own SaaS solution.
