There's a $200 golf networking event at some country club. Considering how important playing golf was in my previous company I'm inclined to go - but it's so expensive and then I have to get to the place which will be commuter train tickets plus an approximately $25 Lyft *each way*. Plus I think I might have to buy special golf clothes.

I'd be going for the golf lessons starting at 2PM and it includes a cocktail reception and dinner. The companies sponsoring seem meh. Is it worth it?

Hi! Can someone recommend a source for learning how do simple, fun music lessons on Zoom? I teach first grade and use music for my transitions. I would also like to play songs for them with my guitar, but am concerned it won’t sound good on zoom (the guitar, not my voice, which is bad, we established that long ago)

Thoughts on the drive to Santa Fe/Taos? I know the flights are quick, but my kids really want to go on a road trip and have been asking to take ski lessons so I figure it would cover both.

Does anyone else have the problem that their curriculum does not meet the standards or goals and is either too hard or too easy. I spend so much money buying lessons off of TPT, buying books or spending all weekend writing my own for 5 subjects. I’m exhausted.

Hi 👋🏻 I have five years work experience, 2 are in consulting at EY London and I really want to move to the UAE (I speak Arabic fluently) would appreciate it if anyone can send a referral (happy to give you free Arabic lessons 😂)

Would love to hear your negotiation wins and fails, and lessons learned. One of my learnings is simply to ask. If you don't ask the answer is definitely no. My example was asking for additional equity. I got back a no, but was offered a signing bonus.

Am I a bad teacher for putting on holiday movies the last few days before break? My class is way past being able to focus with Christmas so close now, and I'm grateful for the quiet time to prep. I see other teachers still doing lessons but I feel like what's the point? Their headspace isn't with me and I don't expect it to be, they're excited. Frankly, I'm excited for the time off too!

I would greatly appreciate some fun/engaging/stimulating lesson plan ideas for high school students.

Anyone know if I can bring private swim coaches in the DC public pools? OR where can I learn swimming? It’s been so hard to find lessons :(

I got a bad observation. He said one of my students were not awake and lively on Zoom. Ugh. What? I see teachers that take 30-50 days off some working 2 days a week days. They get perfect marks. I can't even look my principal in the face now.

I’m trying to leave AWM tax and go to another PA firm. Problem is most firms I’ve talked to want me to join their AWM practice and then transfer to another tax group. Any tips on pushing back without losing job opportunities? AWM is just pure hell and I need to get out.

Looking to transition from an electrical engineer (wide range of experience in low and medium voltage systems) to FPGA or embedded system engineer. While I really do enjoy the design aspect of power systems, I've always leaned more towards the software side of EE and I like working closely with hardware. I have experience through college and personal projects, but I'm not sure how going from multiple years of power system design to a more hardware/low level design will pan out.

I never have good dreams when I sleep. Only average ones or nightmares. It’s so irritating.

Is 100$ hour rate for freelancing intermediate level (working 6 years now) graphic designer/art director based inLA a lot?

Has anyone had a background check done by HireRight recently? Did they send you a notification when it was complete? I have an offer letter contingent on passing background and drug test so I haven’t put in my notice to my current employer but the contingent start date is May 17. I’m thinking I’m obviously going to have to push it back to give a proper two weeks to my current employer but I’m wondering if I will even get a notification when HireRight is done with my background check.

Any insight into SVP comp at Comerica? Glassdoor seemed substantially low.

I have an offer to a commercial real estate company in hand. My current brokerage (residential focus) wants me to pay $3000 penalty since I’m breaking the contract and leaving. I’m financially struggling and 3k is a big number to pay now. The new job will be paying me $2000/month up until the first year only. Is it wise to pay or stick around in residential sales just to avoid that penalty?

Curious, but why isn’t tax calculated inside TC? The money you are forced to pay to the IRS isn’t compensation since you can’t use it. TC should be the amount you actually get to keep as compensation for your work. An extreme example would be if someone had a 100% tax rate for some mysterious reason. Would they be able to claim 150K TC even though they take home $0.00 a month?

I’m curious what the comp is like at salesforce as a business development rep? Also, what’s it like working for this org from a politics side of things? Ie. i know they mandated vaccine, anything else?
