It’s infuriating to have a recruiter contact you. Ask you if you are interested in an opportunity only to f@@king ghost you after you respond saying yes. Wtf is wrong with people?

Man, I’m sorry. I had a mid sized agency ghost me after interviewing with their whole C suite. And then breadcrumb. (“Are you available to talk?”) And then ghost again. Three times.

Happens all the time. (Doesn’t make it right, of course.) Recruiters are like fishermen. They throw a huge net out into the sea (emailing tons of candidates) to see how many respond and then pick out the ones they want, while throwing out the rest (ghosting).

My last therapist keeps coming up in my mind. I left her when I moved to a new area before COVID dug in and frankly it felt like leaving a girlfriend. She also disclosed in the final session that she was a member of AA and knew several of the people I occasionally discussed from the rooms. Her knowledge of the program certainly built trust with me early on, but it has been two years. I discussed it with my current therapist but she’s still in there. Any advice?

Hi all, I have a question regarding retirement accounts. I am not sure if I should choose a Roth or 401k (company has 4+2% match). Currently 23, base salary is ~100k and investments have brought 45k this year which has me teetering between a 22-24% tax bracket. Wondering what the usual tax bracket is of people retired (around 65yo) as I’m not sure anything would bring in significant income with the exception of investments. In my case would a Roth make sense? Appreciate any answers!!
