Okay so I was supposed to chat with a recruiter about sharing my reference contacts for a reference check. He's been MIA for three days citing that he's been under the weather.

Should I be worried? Is this a strategy commonly used to stall or is he actually just sick?

That's true, thank you

It’s cold and flu season. Or maybe he has family/personal issues happening and saying he’s sick is easier. I wouldn’t worry.

Thank you! Overthinking is beginning to get the best of me lol

Don't start worrying. Things happen, and there's no reason for them to stall. Just give them a few days and send a follow up.

Okay, that's a good sign then. Fingers crossed that he gets well soon 🤞

I feel they would have no reason to lie. If they were uninterested, they would have no problem telling you since they reject candidates all the time.

Anyone struggling with imposter syndrome? When I worked for a very well known Fortune500 tech company I couldn't help but feel major imposter syndrome. One- I am a woman in a male dominated industry, I didn't go to a prestigious school like most of my peers and I just didn't think I deserved to be there. Everyday was a struggle and tried to keep myself small so no one would find out I was a "fraud." Looking back on it now, wiser and more experienced, I realized how detrimental feeling that way

This is not very old technology and not much studies as well.

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid." After obviously ignoring this for years, we are finally trying to do it before "it's too late" for both children.

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.
