I am wondering what are the top non technical (for someone without cs background) roles in tech.

Product manager seems to be the top one. Any more? Does PGM or TPM also fall in this category?

Drinks before dinner, during dinner, after dinner.

No matter how many hours I bill, I always feel like I’m failing in some way. Not organized enough, not efficient enough, not knowledgeable enough, always scrambling to keep up, never feeling like I have everything under control, always thinking about that day I wasted a couple hours and could’ve gotten more done if I’d just tried a little harder... I thought that feeling would go away as I got more senior, but it hasn’t. Is this a common feeling among other associates? And does it ever go away?

Does anyone have a recommendation for the best way to respond to "Well, how many people does this *really* affect?" from a stakeholder? This "Marketer" mindset needs to change, and I know my tone immediately changes for the worse when I hear this response. My most recent answer: "It doesn't matter; it only takes one person to file a claim." That was a knee-jerk reaction; I don't want to make it about the backstop the law provides. It's about inclusion informing better experiences for everyone.

This question might anger some, but not meant to be provoking. Does anyone else feel that half the jobs in tech (scrum master, project manager, product manager, etc.) are more hindering than helpful? I feel like productivity would sky rocket if we didn’t have 10+ hours a week added of admin work/agile ceremonies/status meetings, and you just let developers and analysts do their job. Why are we spending hours learning how to estimate story points (for example) rather than improving production?

Two part question:

1. What time do you wake up and go to sleep?

2. Any recommendations on how to regulate one's sleep schedule? I've been going to sleep between 1-2:30am. It's just really difficult to fall asleep and in turn, it's so hard to wake up in the morning and I'm exhausted during the day. It is hard to explain, but I'm tired enough and want to sleep at a decent time (between 10-11pm), but part of me is also very anxious and overwhelmed with having to restart a new day.

I recently returned to work from a long sick leave due to my mental health. Despite that probably everyone knows already why I was sick, I am still not sure how to communicate around this topic.

But on the other hand I hate lying about it...so I am a bit lost and it is causing even more stress again.

A close friend of mine (also an atty) recently committed suicide and I feel completely lost. Her family doesn't want that publicly known so I can't even discuss the suicide with most of my friends/family, I just say she "died unexpectedly but we don't have many details." I feel like my grief is affecting my work productivity (compounding the pre-existing covid anxiety), but it feels weird to seek leave time to grieve for a non-family member's death. Anyone ever dealt with a similar situation?
