I’m so tired of negative news that I’ve started watching commencement speeches while I work. Super motivating and I feel like it helps with my “story telling” with clients. How are you coping with the state of the world?

I love this! Also trying to focus on the smaller news/celebrations with close friends/family (promo, engagement, getting a pet, etc.)

I love this as well💜

I stay balanced by staying informed but don't dwell on the negativity. Sometimes I just avoid the news and shift my focus to family or work. Honing in on what I have to do that day keeps me in a positive mindset for meetings.

I 100% agree on this as well. It’s our duty to stay informed but we have to protect our mental health as well

That's an interesting idea. I've given up watching cable news just because it was too aggravating, bringing known liars on to lie to the viewers shouldn't be what news organizations do. Controversy sells, I get that, but I'm over it. I subscribe to two newspapers and visit other news sites, I can't just avoid the news entirely. But I prefer news that isn't making me dumber by watching.

Agreed! I don’t mean this post to sound like I’m willfully uninformed. I prefer to read the news so I can digest it rather than having to be inundated with sensationalism and bs.

I love your idea. How does it help with your storytelling?

Just hearing how narratives are framed helps me sound interesting I think and also makes sure I land the plane. If that makes sense.

Why does it seem like most democrats are eager to hop aboard the liberal train over ONE agenda? It's like they feel very strongly about something, which is fine this is America and that's your right! But then they agree with EVERYTHING that's liberal or follows alongside their party line. These people NEVER have a good thing to say about anyone involved in politics who are conservative? I am a big Trump fan and even I can't do that.

Hi Fishes,

Need some suggestions from everyone. I have 4.5 years experience and I was working as contractor in ZS and my CTC in parent company was 7 Lakhs.

ZS were willing to offer me FTE as ZS but at a compensation of meagre 8.5 Lakhs. I tried negotiating but they sticked with this.

How come ZS do that? Why can't they pay more as they generally pay 15+ for 4.5 years experience.

Joining Google in a few weeks and assuming I will be moving to the Bay Area sometime this year. For people who have kids, what do you do about schools? My wife and I are looking to buy a place but most the public schools in the South Bay are rated terribly. It’s good to note we don’t have kids yet but are trying to think longer term. Are schools even considered in the resale value of a house? Thoughts and insights appreciated!
