I have such a different perspective. I'd rather be with my kids any time over travel. And if they are sick, they need me more. Do you really think any one at those conference calls cares that you are tired? They probably respect you more for being a good dad. So be a good dad.

Welcome to the life of one who is continuously under-caffeinated. There’s only one way to scratch that itch

Coffee, it never did anything for me other than give me a stomach ache. On the flip side the pain kept me awake.

But like M1 said I rather be home with my sick kiddo and help my wife than be on the road feeling helpless being so far from home.

Kid over road any day of the week. There are only a few chances in your kids life they will need you like this. You can work till you die. They are only a kid once. They look up to you and you are their hero. Hero’s don’t disappoint!

Hi everyone! I have been in my current role as an EA at a financial institution for about a year and a half now. I would love to find a 100% remote role as a mid level EA at a company with an awesome work culture. I think I’m ready to be challenged again, I find myself bored in my current role… I’m open to any industry but would love to get into tech. If anyone knows of any openings I would really appreciate it! I’m located on the East coast currently. TIA

What is the eligibility for getting appraisal in fidelity ? Is there anything like you must join on or before certain month to be eligible for that? I joined in September beginning and appraisal year ends here in October. Though I am not very hopeful but just wanted to check if anyone is aware of the eligibility.
