Lost my job a little while ago and was hoping to have found a new one by now but that hasn’t gone to plan. I have an international wedding coming up and I just don’t feel good about spending money I don’t have anymore. Do I still go? Or tell my friend that I really need every dollar and hope she understands.

It sounds like you really can’t afford to go / dont want to go in the context. If that’s the case, then I wouldn’t go just out of some guilt or pressure to go - your friend will absolutely understand. If she doesn’t, she’s not a friend worth going into debt / financial struggle for imho.

Yea it’s not that I don’t want to go I really would’ve gone if I had the means it’s just stressing me out thinking about how much everything will cost and it’s not something I can do just go do for a weekend since it’s international

I would tell your friend now. She’ll understand if you’re a good friend. When you get back on your feet, maybe take her out to dinner to celebrate since you can’t celebrate with her during this season of her life

If she doesn’t understand she’s a terrible person

Tell your friend and don’t go, for sure. It’s a million percent understandable. Good luck with your job search!

I had a very positive experience interviewing with Amazon for an L5 Technical Writer role. I originally applied for a lower level writing role, ending up acing my Loop, and was passed on to speak to the hiring manager for the L5 role.

Given the positive tone of our conversation, I expect to receive an offer this week.

Can somebody tell me what kind of base salary/bonus/RSU ranges I should aim for? I'm transitioning to tech and have 10+ years of professional writing experience. PNW based.

For questions as to why you are looking to leave your current firm.. I am looking to move because for some reason I am hand-held a lot and given simpler tasks, so I am getting bored and want more challenging / much more fast paced environment. Also kind of bored because I am on one project for a long time and I want exposure to variety of projects. Is this a fair answer or would I be seen as arrogant? Is there a better way to frame my answer?

So something crazy happened to me last week. I was at the airport, and as usual on call after call. The check in line was going ridiculously slowly and at some point turned threw my hands up in frustration while looking around to find another place to check in. In doing so, I catch the eye of the behind me. He smiles and says something. I just sort of nod and carry on with my call. After that, he keeps trying to talk to me, eventually I got to the check, say bye and leave. At security… tbc
