Actually try to solve their tech issues on their own because they don’t want to wait. Or better yet they can’t figure it out and find something else to do besides their tech. And I am not constantly pulled this way and that all week (especially the second I come back from a trip)

HHahh!! My wife said at least someone is on her side :)

Gonna bite and post in here even though it’s scary! I’m just having a tough time getting over my 3 year relationship. I’ve been spending weeks trying to pin point where things went wrong. He was very cold to me in the end and completely cut me off so suddenly. I was going through some personal issues this summer related to family & work that made me quite stressed & anxious. I tried my best to not let it show but you can’t help what you feel when you’re struggling. When he broke up (cont…)

A long post: seeking some perspective. My husband of 2 years that I’ve been in a relationship with for more than 8 years just woke up one day and told me that he’s unhappy in our relationship. I’m devastated because he’s never expressed anything like this in the 8 years. He’s been super supportive and loving, even when we were in a long distance relationship. He supported my career and dreams and this just doesn’t make sense. We have gotten a counselor but things aren’t getting better. Comment>

Need advice and help.

I have realized I grew up in a household where my dad did not treat my mom as an equal. He belittles her, is rude and convinced his way is the only way.

It is painful to say, but some of this shows up in me and in my relationship. I am starting to catch myself, and it to me seems to be more of a reaction than anythjng that is ever intentional.

Wondering if anyone has dealt with something similar, and any success in making changes besides therapy. Cont. in comments

Have you ever taken a job you know you will hate because you needed the money right away? I have a family to take care of. I don't want to be plowing through our savings for selfish reasons like my mindframe at work, but I don't want to make our lives worse by being miserable. It's a matter of really ruining some of our financial future if we don't get money soon.

1YOE medical device NPI Lead looking for salary perspective

Mechanical engineering grad, joined a medical device startup that I had done co-ops at. 8mo into full-time, pivoted from engineering into more of an operations role doing new product introduction (NPI), now with 3 direct reports.

The combination of startup+medical device+NPI seems very unique and I'm struggling to find salary comparables. Currently making 75k but it feels very low given my new responsibility and impact. Any advice?
