I have two years of automotive/aerospace manufacturing experience and am looking for new opportunities. I recently applied to a Solution Engineer - Commercial Manufacturing, Automotive, Energy (MAE) role at Salesforce, and it sounds like a great fit. Is anyone willing to offer me a referral or advice on how to move forward in the hiring process? Salesforce
Legit excuse to cover moonlighting 🤣

I think around 45 is when you start to take it easy
Crap, I missed that memo.
I’m 41, with two kids. We still party like college students, but can afford ubers and better alcohol. Well, until Coronavirus hit.
I am in late 40s and no kids, so before this pandemic crap I would fly to Rio or Madrid or London or LA and would party there. And yes, you go to better clubs and drink better stuff cause you can afford it, but back home it’s mostly home life and working out
No. Shut up. Have fun. No.

Are you ok bud?
Not too old at all. Enjoy your life. I was going to clubs and partying until 32.
"Then life started to suck, as the fun in me died"
If you aren’t getting blinded by hangovers, messing up at work or causing issues in relationships - then you should have fun until it’s not fun for you anymore. It’s different for everyone and only you know when too much is too much.
20’s in NYC (at least used to be) is a blast and better to make mistakes / take risks then before stakes get too high (and before the holy trinity of a Gatorade / breakfast sandwich / handful of Advil no longer work).
It’s also a reckoning when you shift from going out every night, and realize that 80% of your friends are actually drinking buddies, and that’s all they want to do, they aren’t that interesting and can’t make a (non-bar related) plan.
30ish is when it stops getting cute and you start reassessing friendships and also caring less what people think.
But have fun! And enjoy the invisible pores 🤦♂️

When did we as a society have to ask random strangers to check and see what is appropriate or right to do with our own lives?
At the end of the day, you do YOU. If you enjoy going out and partying -go! If you don’t, find something else to do. How will you know when it’s no longer right for you? You won’t want to go out and party.
Lots of people have lots of opinions. If you ask you will get them. Is it right for you? Only you can decide.
I am 22, studying for CPA, graduated a year ago, and still have the same energetic when it comes to partying which I don’t plan to give up on until my body does. No age is too old. 😤
You are 22....

I’m 30F and still partying, my social circle spans from late 20s to late 30s and everyone is still down for a good clubbing night, rave, or festival.
The main difference is quantity of partying nights has gone down. Where I used to go out 2-3x a week, now it’s probably one hardcore party every 2-3 months. Also I make a point to have a full 2 days to recover, so parties are usually Friday nights.
About 30 and then you should really stop being a black out drunk because it kind of gets pathetic
Getting black out drunk is pathetic at all ages.
There is no inappropriate age, the difference is location (nightclub vs pub or home w friends), tolerance, and frequEncy. I’m 49 with two young kids and still enjoy a good night with a few beers or cocktails, but be damn sure I’m ready to work or be with the kids the next morning...if you can’t pull that off you have problems.

No such thing as too old or too young*. Just respect how you feel, don’t look for justifications of your feelings in others. Some people never like to go out and party, others never stop and everyone on the spectrum is okay if it makes them happy. Do you.
*unless you’re under the age of consent, them definitely some things you are too young for.
Do whatever makes you happy while staying safe and healthy
lol I’m 34 and ask myself the same question, jokes on me tho, I know the answer 😂 pandemic has at least kept my ass at home 🍻

I always hated party culture and have never done it, but live your best life. Don’t let curmudgeons or holier than thou wallflowers like me stop you! 🙂
I’m 38 and still go clubbing and to music festivals. My 50+ year old friends do too
I’m a 33yo gay male and I just laughed out loud reading this😃🥳
There is no magic number. You only live once. Do what feels right and allows you to succeed in other areas of your life. Don’t “should” yourself to death or compare to others. If I did that I’d probably have offed myself long ago

Never be the last one there, or the first, but always make sure people remember you were there.

I think the age depends. For straight people it generally seems like the partying declines as you enter the age people are commonly getting married / having kids (late 20s/early 30s).
For gays, varies but I’d say 50/60s it starts to die down. The wildest partiers I’ve ever met were gay men in their 50s.
Imagine being in your 20s and thinking you're "old" 🤦♂️
Kiddo, Life starts at 30 to begin with.
Everything before is practice.
