I’m curious how often people actually use PTO without checking messages. Time off doesn’t feel like real time off if you’re still half online. Can you truly disconnect on vacation?

Not only do I disconnect while on vacation, but I disconnect every evening when I’m home and not at work.

Yes. I connect with whoever I need to beforehand to keep any work moving if needed. They will be okay.

For me, I do not because I don’t have paid time off. I’m still fully responsible for my clients and all their needs so I have to check messages if I were in a salary job where I had paid time off and there was somebody else available to handle my work while I were away then I would not check.

Brand new startup, how do we think about social media?

What’s a good way of creating a social media strategy for it? Or is social media content marketing a good idea at all for early startups?

I’m finally hitting a stride (now in my mid-30s) and have some cash to play around with/invest. Any suggestions or recommendations on good, long-term strategies (and/or things I should absolutely be doing) for people not familiar with having a tiny cushion of wealth? Also open to “you should hire a financial advisor, etc..”

So, you’ve reached the stage of your career where you care more about cashing a fat paycheck than making “creative ads”. You’d rather have the resources and free time to fulfill your creative itch outside of work than try to sell the next big idea to an 28 year old marketing manager with an annual budget of 150k. How do you make the absolute most money as a copywriter while still working a 9-5? Asking for... a... friend?

Hello!
I'm italian, 26 yo and currently working in France as financial analyst.
Work environment is great, friendly and multicultural but I don't like the job at all.
Personal life is not so nice since I manage to see my family and gf every 30/45 days only. Colleagues have their own lives and at the end we don't hang out much.
My dilemma is:
A) going back to Italy at a lower salary with less growth opps but better personal life or
B) Switching my job here and hold on

What would you do?

Thx! :)

Looking for opinions. I’m an IW with 2 yrs experience working from home at a Fortune 500 company w/ excellent benefits, target salary 75k. I was previously offered a job at another company where the 75k salary was guaranteed for the first year. Most people make much more than this once their comp fully ramps up, but, I would have to work in the office. I declined the offer, but now the CEO wants to meet with me several months later. Would I be crazy if I asked for 100k guaranteed salary?
