My wife, the immigrant, isn't happy with my psychotic Republican mother and father. So no, they can't discuss the election rationally.

Hey OP, just thinking this through. Maybe you should call the left leaning side of your family to give them a heads up on the deal....emails tend to be deleted on the left 👍😝

I don't think that's a healthy attitude about politics. Why is everyone so "politically correct"? Can you not respectfully discuss your views on the topic and agree to disagree?

Best of luck with this one OP. I'll give it 10 mins at most. You need to give us an update and tell us how long before someone stepped over the line. And enjoy the free booze 😂😆😂

i wish i could shut down the politics like this. my grandparents like to do this thing where they feel out my leanings in advance and show up to family gatherings and gang up on me with prepared remarks and counterargument citations when i'm in no mind to defend my position to such an extent.

Good afternoon everyone,

I am switching careers from Clinical Social Work into Project Management. I possess many transferable skills and a PM certification. I'd love a referral to PM roles at Google, Meta, Amazon or other Big Tech Companies. I'd also love to connect with other PMs in the tech space on LinkedIn if interested!

I have an interview tomorrow with a recruiter who contacted me through LinkedIn. I believe I am way under-qualified for the position and I pointed that out to her, but she responded with several points from my resume as to why she believes the role is a good fit with my experience. It would be a leap, but maybe I need to take it as a challenge and not limit myself? I just don’t want to get in over my head and fall flat on my face. What are some questions I could ask during the first interview?
