So first off happy fourth of July! But secondly, I just wanted to share something and see your thoughts. Two couples who had been a role model for my relationship have either divorced, or separated recently.

It can be really discouraging feeling like marriage so often ends in divorce or unhappiness. What are some positive stories from either yourself or people you know of long happy marriages? What's a secret to a happy marriage?

Happy times, bad times, grumpy times, good times, orhateful times. Communication, understanding, and caring are so important. We are 39 years in, we have always communicated. If someone is upset or gets upset, it's important to tell the other one.

My mom has diabetes and I know her health has been a stress on my parents marriage. Chronic illness is always hard.

44 years - communication, forgiveness, and knowing marriage is not 50/50. It has to be each one giving more so there is overlap.

I actually was just talking to someone about how marriage is not 50/50 and she sent me a great podcast talking about how to bridge the gap when both of you only have 20% to give.

38 years here. Usually happy. There were a few rough times. Communication helps, but also flexibility, and dealing with change. And realizing that we would rather navigate the rough times together than apart.

I’m pretty torn on whether I want to take an offer for an internal role or not…
The job itself sounds pretty interesting. Lots of opportunity for growth (eventually will build out a team).

My only concern is the hiring manager. I talked to someone in my network who has worked with him in the past and she told me that she would 100% work with him again bc she learned a lot, but that he has a very dominant personality and that some ppl can butt heads with him.

I applied for a job at Visa and was contacted the same day. A few days later I had a 30-minute screening interview with the hiring manager. I knew I was very early in the process since the job had only been posted for a few days. It's been 3 weeks and I haven't heard back, even after reaching out to the recruiter. Have I been ghosted or is there still hope? Does anyone at Visa have insights? Looks like there are a ton of jobs posted so maybe they are just backed up?

Hi everyone, I got hired on as entry level sales operations role back in January. It quickly turned into sales, and eventually all the sales for the small company once the head of sales left. I am happy to take on the additional role for my company, and they are going to let me. But they feel that without multiple people in a sales department the title head of sales might not be the best title. I have input in what my updated position title and salary would be. What should I ask for?
