What's the salary range for a director at the Gilead Sciences foundation? There is a position perfect for me, but I don't want to throw my hat in the ring if starting salary isn't $180-190k. Also, any thoughts on the stability of their philanthropic commitment? There's talk of a recession; I don't want to go private to be cute a few months later.
What should my requested salary be for a Senior Intelligence Analyst position with CrowdStrike ? I have a bachelors degree and 5 years of experience as an intelligence analyst. Current salary is 56k in NC, but when I was in DC I was making 86k (big locality change)… which makes me confused on what I should expect for a remote job.

I think it was when I had kids and realized my parents were the same age when they had me. I always thought they were infallible and on top of everything, but now I know they were just doing their best and taking everything day by day. No amount of non-parenting life experience can really prepare you for the reality of juggling raising kids, work, and taking care of pets and a house.

So true! I don't know what I'm doing out here 😂
When I started managing people and realized everyone was winging at least one part of their job, that’s when it hit me. We’re all just figuring it out in real time.

So true! Most of us are just learning as we go!
When I was younger I naturally assumed that people like my parents or teachers knew what they were doing and there was all a big plan. I finally did realize everybody was just out there improvising. And somehow it all worked out. I admit I get anxious at times when I face some situation and have to figure it out, but I take some odd solace in knowing that it's perfectly normal to be making it up as you go along.

It is quite funny when you think about it really. Most of us have no idea what we are doing and like you said it just works out!
