Yeah I can afford it but why should I have to pay to work? Did you buy your own laptop?

Dell had a pretty good sale on its 34” ultra wide monitor over the holidays - not sure if it’s still on. I picked up two earlier in the year and they work great if you have the space.

By saying new firm are you implying your old firm had a tech stipend? If so, don't you still have the previous equipment, or did your previous firm reclaim it?

Yup they reclaimed

I have a brand new person on my team- she is totally new to the field, has recently returned to the workforce (solo mom of 3 teens), is very smart. I knew when I hired her that I’d have to lean in to get her to where she needed to be. She has a ton of potential but lacks experience in a professional setting. I need to help her level up her written communication skills. Any suggestions on books, resources, strategies? She is learning by doing and takes feedback but I want more supports for her.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but I have a few former classmates and colleagues sweating over lateral interviews. Take a deep breath and relax.

First, doing these interviews does not define you as a person.

Second, take it one day at a time; if they are moving forward, they see something in you.

Third, remember that the people interviewing you are human beings. Connect with them, be personable.
