My 2.5 yo just spelled and wrote most of his name at school today.

I have not worked with him on this at all. I thought he was too young. Neither has school (also they told me they are working with him on recognizing the first letter of his name, which he's been doing for months, so I don't trust their assessment).

Is this advanced enough to take note of? Or is this just something where kids progress at various levels?

I would say take note, it’s quite possible he will be advanced. I was dealing with something similar when my lil guy was that age. Does he know the full alphabet, numbers, colors, etc.? It may be a one off but likely he’s ready to start learning more.

Could be, could not. My oldest could write her 7 letter name before three and we didn’t do anything with writing it, but all her stuff was personalized so…l figured that was it. But, she was put in gifted and has a near photographic memory (we figured it out at age 4 in church camp when she was smoking the 6th graders at a memory game—one of the leaders was in education and pulled me aside to tell me she suspected it-crazy).

My youngest could count to 30 at 2. Everyone was stunned (5 is the goal for end of 3s preschool). Not placed in gifted. Still amazing kiddo!

Started a new job 7 months ago. There’s been a hiring freeze and it seems they canned the recruitment team. Things seems to be slowing down drastically in the span of a week. Getting the resume all spiffed up and getting interviews together. When do you make the exit? “When you find a job” I know, but…

Also, would me making my exit to another role that I might leave in a 8 months bite me in the ass down the line? Do I just grab anything in the interim?

Hi All. I have a good job offer but I'm wondering whether I should negotiate comp. I made it clear from the beginning what my target for base comp was which is ~$10K over the top of the posted salary range for the job. I also said that I was comfortable proceeding with the interview process despite the top of that range being lower (somewhat weakening my position for later I suppose). The offer is at the very top of the range. Bonus is 5% less than what I get in my current job. Negotiate?
