These past two weeks have been super hard for me. To help lighten the mood, can we share one career accomplishment we are proud of?

For me, it’s securing several speaking engagements this year (more than last year) through my network. It’s been a strong testament to how I cultivate relationships and I am proud of that.

Good for you, that's awesome!! I am struggling a lot this year because I've been looking for work since FEBRUARY. I am trying so hard to remain positive and keep searching, so I guess that's the thing that I'm proud of: My optimism and persistence in the face of a long and disappointing job search

That is awesome OP and definitely something to be proud of and celebrated. For me I am really proud of the promotion that I got this year. I worked really hard for it and felt that it was well deserved and it came with a nice little salary bump too which was exciting. Its really nice when you start to see all your hard work paying off.

One of my interns came back to my city to visit. They have a full-fledged professional life, can support themselves, and have choices and options for their future career path. That felt nice.

For me it is reaching the level of being a director. I never thought it would be possible for me, but the stars aligned and I was able to capitalize. Now I’m here trying to set the path for others.

Congrats on your success and here’s to achieving more. 🍻🥂🥃
