New insomnia type unlocked! Early morning awakening. What am I supposed to do at 4am? Anyone else have treatment resistant insomnia? Anything that helped? I’ve heard this can be age related.

Take that too already! But good suggestion!

Try the Calm app. Their daily meditations are great but the sleep meditations and sleep stories were life-changing for me.

I need to do that.

I get up at 4:30 to workout, so if you have a workout routine you like might want to try that in the morning instead of evening.

As for age, hormone changes can impact sleep quality. Found hormone replacement therapy helped with my insomnia; might want to get your hormone levels checked

Yes working out at 4am would be a good idea and also the workout will help you sleep better and you’ll have a better day with q clear mind.

Is RPA sales engineering a good career pivot now? Have been in Cloud SE for 5 years and it is getting mundane. Forget about the Data and AI, realistically majority of the work is around VM migration + RFP + Pricing + pushing commit 2x more than customer's current need, instead of really adding technical and business value to the customer.

RPA seems to be on the rise, there are certainly risk but the value + technology seems to be closer to reality. Love to hear more.

Whew this group is a relief to find. No one at my job knows I have ADHD, and I only have one other friend with it. I manage a team of people and the stress of checking, double checking, and triple-checking everything to make sure I'm not forgetting anything or behind on anything is insane. I've kind of got the hang of keeping focus during work hours, but I'm just constantly on edge that someone will notice or I'll start falling behind.

Who in the agency would you say has the ultimate responsibility to come up with the agency’s pricing & services model? Biz Dev? Finance? Ops? Project Management? Other? (Context: we have an ongoing issue where a biz dev / accounts person will eagerly be coming up with half-baked solutions for a prospective client, and it always feels like a cluster F when they want to know what resources, budget, and time we need in order to execute said service - which they thought of in the first place!)

I got an offer to work as a commercial real estate agent at Avison Young. My background is in residential sales. I’m wondering how complex working in commercial sales is.
1- Am I responsible for generating leads and networking just like residential?
2- Are there growth opportunities in this field; like is there a corporate ladder in this path to look forward to?
I. would like some advice to consider from those in the industry. Big thanks!!

I feel like my people must be here. Everyone on my team is <35 (and I love them) but I’m right on the cusp and officially over the 35 mini hill. Who else has younger team members but is still “young” and doesn’t know what to advise about this age range to the youths ready for some great awakenings that come in this late 30s era?!

I always thought mid life crisis was when you get to mid life and realize you are never going to be all you thought you would be.

I turned out better than I imagined on all dimensions, and I’ve discovered a different kind of midlife crisis. The “ok, so now what?” Crisis.

Tell me someone else has this, and what do you do about it?

Got an offer at a great company. Ive done this job before but moved away from it because it burnt me out because of the people and it scarred me. I have found out i have ptsd from it and am scared to start the new one. Been working on ptsd thru therapy. I know its a great firm and a great opportunity but my ptsd is bad. Another company last wk reached out same field diff role more chill and behind the scenes and i cant help but think about the easy way out over the challenge and better future.

What’s the right age difference? My friends set me up on a date with a girl who is 12 years younger to me. I was feeling so uncomfortable all through my dinner with her.

The way we get comforted after being sad matures with age, How do you like to be comforted when you’re sad or upset after 30s & 40s? Talk to the person you love? Alcohol? Alone time? Podcast? Yoga?

Why do partners feel the need to speak when they obviously have very superficial knowledge about the topic? So exhausting pushing back on stupid ideas, needless analysis, unnecessary credit taking attempts and spending time making their input sound coherent with what was already aligned with client. Let me manage and please just get out of the way…
