Is there really life after busy season? I want to believe it. I need to believe it. I can't do another one. I’m planning my exit, but I’m terrified I’ll land somewhere just as bad with fewer people to commiserate with. For those of you who left public, what did your day-to-day actually look like afterward? Was it really better… or just quieter burnout?

My work gives us points/money for achieving certain activities such as exercising for 180 mins per week. I have my Apple Watch automatically sync with the app that tracks our activities and it works great. Problem is I started using NRC (Nike run Club) app for runs and it interferes with the Workout app on my Apple Watch and it doesn’t get tracked. Has anyone found a way for the NRC and Workout app to run simultaneously (pun intended)?

I applied for a job and received an offer from my client. 15k+ bump in salary, better benefits/remote work, and responsibilities will give me exposure to all areas of the organization (start up).

I would report directly to the controller and have 1-2 staff reporting to me...
