Never a good time to look for a job, always a good time to look for your PASSION!

... just kidding, start looking now.

I mean this really is true tho. Now while you have a job, figure out what you like to do and how you can make money off it. Don’t waste your life doing stuff you don’t want to do. The only reason I want this job/big salary is so I can buy fast cars. If I was a reviewer at Cars.com and got to drive a Ferrari for a week I would be fine with a $50k salary (admittedly $50k is a bit low but you get my drift)

It’s because I have little faith in corporate America. One day everything is gold and the sun is shining and the next day massive layoffs.
My mentor said you don’t need to necessarily make the jump right away, just increase your network and interview with several companies so if the $h1t hits the fan, you can jump ship easy

OP, what part of Microsoft makes you think we have layoffs coming? We’re literally growing a new Accenture in revenue every year 🤔 Also that’s life, in every aspect of it you can go from high to low at any time... relationships, health, wealth

I always like to wear super old clothes at home. They are comfy, but mostly importantly, I don’t wanna waste them by throwing them away. Sometimes I do find them very unattractive, and feel sorry for my husband. I am making good money and have bought nice clothes, but I always have this mentality that nice clothes are for important occasions. Anyone in a similar situation? Btw, I did grow up poor.
