Micro-managing. Does anyone really like it?

Imagine, you have an amazing job and you have all of the independence you could have wished for. You're able to find another job in the same field (and not with a competitor), but you can hear the buzzing of a micromanaged. The money is awesome, better than the first one - almost double.

How long are you willing to work at J2? Is the higher wage worth it? Share with the class.

Hi Fishes
I have an interview this week for Investment Strategy and Research - Senior Specialist.

Need suggestions for interview preparations.

Looking to get an Alfa Romeo Giulia Ti sometime this year. Brand new the MSRP is about 45K and despite the reputation of the old Alfa Romeo’s from the 90’s these seem to be night and day more reliable. Would you recommend buying new, leasing new, or buying used? If I bought used it would be anywhere from 2019-2021

I wish I was overemployed. Searching for gigs, but nothing yet. Any tips on how to get one or more extra jobs?

Currently have J1 as current employer used The work one for my BC. I looked at Equifax/ The work one to see if J2 uses that service, fortunately they don’t.
Question - if J2 runs a BC for J1 and Finds out I am still employed isn’t that a red flag?
