Next to La Jolla is Solana Beach which is beautiful

Damn that’s an awesome location.

I’ve been out here for 8months. Where will you be traveling from OP?

Del Mar also has two really good restaurants—Renaissance for dumplings/dim sum and a Peruvian place I can’t recall the name right now. Royal India in Miramar does a very good mesquite smoked paneer. Also Taka and Nobu in the Gaslamp for very good sushi. Have a great time! Best client city in the world

* Rendezvous not Renaissance

On the BBQ note, Coop’s West Texas BBQ in Lemon Grove is also worth a try. As a West Texan the BBQ was just okay, but the sweet cornbread... well I don’t have sweet cornbread like that very often

TJ strip clubs

Go to Joshua Tree NP for the weekend!

Second Joshua tree! If you’re from ny, sf or Chicago, the food scene gets old in about a week. That said, check out the breweries. fish tacos are a stereotype but for good reason, couple good places in pacific beach. Buona Forchetta is one of my faves for pizza, and there’s good sushi at Ota or Tadakoro. Try surfing at least once just to say you did. Great local hikes at sunset cliffs and Torrey pines.

+1 for Phil’s bbq!!! Good chicken there too

Get lit on Gaslamp

I want to take more brainstorming, decision making responsibilities but I don’t see that in the career path for PM. Career path usually goes like this- Sr PM, Director, Sr Director, and so on.

Round or exact numbers on banners/LPs? I was curious about this since in negotiations for example or pricing it's better to have the exact number. But if you have a case study, for example, is it better to say "Client X increased their revenue to 1,000,000 ARR" instead of "Client X increased their revenue to 987,500 ARR" ? Anyone has seen any impact on conversion rates?

Hi all! Currently in the process of a career pivot and had a question. My current company wants me to come back for a two week project in August. Is this too big of an ask on a new employer if I request unpaid leave for this time? I had asked them about delaying start date until this project is over but it was too far away, and I’ll start this month instead but haven’t yet. I don’t want to leave or start on a bad note so wondering if it’s even worth bringing up. Thanks!
