This week feels strange. Work is technically on, but nothing is really moving. I am using the time to think about what I actually want next year, not just what pays the bills. What's everyone else upto?

The week of Christmas and the week of New Years are always such a weird time of year. Nobody is really working yet we are in the office pretending to work haha. I have been using this time to apply for other jobs truthfully.

I feel exactly the same. I am half logged in, half mentally somewhere else. I am also using this quiet week to reflect and quietly explore options without the usual pressure.

Things are pretty much wrapped up for me. Clients are in holiday-mode now, which means I can take the mental break, too.

Same here. Client silence has been a relief. I am letting myself pause properly and think about next year with a clearer head instead of reacting to constant noise.

Why this bowl is so quite 😒

I'm trying to prep for an interview for an operations role for commodity derivatives with Macquarie. I'm wondering if anyone can provide me with what type of questions I could expect to be asked? I haven't had luck finding results on the internet.

We need to STOP glamorizing overworking. Please.

The absence of sleep, good diet, exercise, relaxation, and time with friends and family isn’t something to be applauded.

To many people wear their burnout as a badge of honor. It’s time to consider pivoting.

And it needs to change.

Advice on applying to PM jobs with 1yr APM experience?

I’ve been working as an APM at my current company for 1yr, and have basically been doing the work of a full blown PM the entire time. I’ve lead several features from start to finish and made sure to mention in my resume that I have been doing everything a regular PM does. Has anyone ever hired an APM for a PM role or done it yourself? Any tips? Advice?
