Noticed that some people always volunteer to take first pass on models, and others avoid it and still do just fine. Does taking on the hardest work actually help your trajectory?

This really depends on what you are trying to achieve but generally I would say yes. Taking the first pass on a model if you want to build expertise in that area especially makes sense. Generally, it is worth knowing how to do most things at at least a foundational level and then deep-dive into areas of more interest to better position you for whatever you decide to do next if you aren’t set on a specific path. It’s also just nice to work with people who don’t mind trying their hand at any and everything

Hi everyone! I would really appreciate any sort of feedback on my resume. I’m actively looking for new jobs and opportunities because I’m trying to get something in my field but I’ve been struggling to even get an interview. I need help because I’m seriously at my wits end. I’m no longer happy at my current job and want something better.
Any help would be great.

This might be the wrong place to ask but is getting a car worth it?

I think it’ll somewhat improve QOL but with parking, insurance, gas and financing costs I’m not sure spending almost 1K/month is a good idea at 22.

The other problem is that used cars are so damn expensive right now so I can’t just buy a used mx5 for 5-10K
