My role is starting to involve a lot more travel lately, and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with trying to figure it all out. Those who travel often for work, what have you figured out that makes life on the road easier or more rewarding?

One of the best things I ever did was invest in a high-quality carry-on bag and packing cubes. I keep it half-packed at all times with a backup set of essentials, like chargers, toiletries, etc. That way, if a trip pops up last-minute, I’m not scrambling, and it gives me a huge sense of control.

Try to keep whatever home routines you have somewhat intact while you are traveling. Eat well! I actually gained quite a bit of weight when I was traveling a lot. Too much quick grab and go and not really thinking about it, also didn’t make me feel great either, just had to find a balance.

It all comes down to organization. When I was on the road a lot I obsessively made lists and jotted things down. Get your travel essentials figured out, personal items and tech essentials, and always have them more or less ready to pack up and go. And try to have your personal or social life organized to the point where traveling isn't going to be too disruptive. That is much easier said than done, but you can usually do some things to make things easier on yourself and those you care about.

Honestly traveling can be very difficult because its hard to have routine when you are traveling so much. I just had to learn how to adapt my routine and stay organized so I didn't start to feel overstimulated and stressed. It gets easier the more you do it honestly.

I saw someone else do this, so imma give it a shot. Lately, I’ve been applying to iOS developer roles and I’m getting TONs of calls and callbacks from HR and recruiting managers, but then when my resume gets pushed to hiring managers they seem to often get peeved at how little years of experience I have with the title “iOS developer”…
which is fair, and to show my credibility I published my first app last week, but I’m still getting similar messages from recruiters this week. Idk what to do??

I have an MHA and 4 years of management experience. I’m currently a manager, but seeking a director level position. Any advice for trying to temper my expectations?

Hey 🐠, curious your thoughts on two roles. 27m finishing non-MBA grad school while working. First I’d a manager-level BD role for a startup (but public) company im really excited/energized by. 150k base with 15% bonus and equity. Second is a senior manager level growth & partnerships role for a slightly larger company that’s cool but I’m less enthusiastic about. 165k with 20% bonus and equity. Ignoring equity considerations, would you take the job with lower pay if the company is more exciting?

Anyone hiring those who have been out of work for a year? I took time off to tend to personal matters, but I am now looking to get back into the workforce again. My previous experience includes time at B4 audit up to senior level and then transitioned to manager in industry. Senior/manager roles are preferred.

I don’t mind audit. However, I’d prefer it not to be at a B4, as I am looking for some semblance of a work life balance.

DM me if you have something above, thanks.
