Okay, let's settle this: Is using emojis in professional emails acceptable or cringe?

I think it depends on the context - I consider any email I send from my school account a professional email. If I’m just letting someone know I got their email and agree I send a 👍. If I were to email my grade level or a team of professionals about a student? 99% of the time no emojis! Idk if it’s the biggest deal though sometimes a 🫠 explains what I want to say better than words 🤷‍♀️

I think cringe if you do not know the person. Of course, I think it would depend on the content of the message and your acquaintance with the recipient.

I agree with all these comments. It all depends on your audience!

Team just applied for a TS Clearance (defense agency). Trying to assess if it makes sense to wait till the clearance comes through (6 months to a year?) before I job hop. I'm hoping to get some clarity on the following:
1. Can my company withdraw or cancel my clearance if I leave right after I secure a TS?
2. In terms of compensation, how much value (% compensation) does a TS clearance have in the DC area? Places I'm considering: AWS, Azure, GCP, Data bricks, Appian etc.
Any advice, thanks!

Just curious what investment vehicles you're using to get to FIRE.
