Bahamas, Aruba, Turks and Caicos, Grand Cayman. Any of them.

I’d reco Cartagena! Beautiful city with so much art and culture and history. It’s right by the equator so always perfect weather. The food was bomb and pretty cost effective we were getting beautiful 5 course fine dining meals for like $120 for 2 people. The beaches are quite touristy in Cartagena proper but if you’re willing to travel in a boat for half an hour there’s private island beaches that are fabulous. I honestly didn’t do too many beaches there because I had so much fun going through all the art galleries, museums, and exploring the city.

My only watch out is as a female traveling there without a male you will get catcalled a ton, I went with my mom and we both got catcalled constantly. We talked to a couple other women though who didn’t have an issue because they were with their boyfriends.

I have been at my company for a little less than 4 years now. I’ve had the third highest sales last year out of a team of 50 and consistently the highest outbound calls per week. They told me I can start WFH once I hit $1mil in profit, but then rescinded right before I hit the goal. They have also denied simpler request like time off, when I know they have approved this before for others. I feel super unappreciated, but the money is great. I’m not sure if I should look elsewhere and start over?

Lately I’ve been feeling pay by bracket policy is very counter productive. When I came from my prev company, I had salary at the higher bracket due to market correction and novartis offer coinciding.

I moved back in with my parents in August, and my mom and stepfather have demanded monthly rent.
