Seriously. I really like my current job and I like to think I’m at least halfway decent at it. I’m honestly not interested in the BS that comes with SM, but the timeline says this is my promotion year.

Guess I just have to look for a new job when this a COVID thing dies down a bit.

Why?

I feel you SM it’s honestly that’s kinda my big fear... lol I love working on models and don’t really want to graduate from it 😂

Preach

Do senior associates in your firm only build models?

In what I do yeah.

Hi! This is a question directed to my Canadian tech folks... How do I get a job in the US? I'm currently a Canadian citizen and I keep seeing a lot of opportunities in the US, but some of the opportunities I see say that they will not be offering visas... So if anyone has any advice on how to go about doing this, it would be greatly appreciated! The pay I'm currently getting is not good for the amount of work I'm doing...

I just got diagnosed with ADHD at 30. After years of being the weird one, problem child and dealing with my own mental and sensory overload issues I’m so relieved to have a diagnose I could cry. I am now getting recommendations to avoid medication and try therapy. Can anyone speak to that approach? I kind of feel like I’m getting that recommendation because people don’t believe ADHD is a real issue.
