1) are those even real or just mock ups?
2) sounds like the dude is just trying to have some fun, "community engagement"

“It’s just repackaged baby wipes, dude.”

This is an engagement play. He’s not trying to save money. And there’s no bad PR. I’m sure it’s doing great for their brand - starting conversation in a provocative and irreverential way…people taking sides, etc Feels on brand with something as crass as “Dude wipes.”

I think it’s just an engagement play? A print producer would know best, but if he’s mounting billboards for SB, they’re already written, laid out, proofed, and off to the printer by the time of this post, no?

Does anyone have recommendations for classes or trainings that helped you gain greater expertise in reviewing and negotiating commercial contracts, particularly sophisticated SaaS agreements? I came in-house with a biglaw litigation background and because of this feel lacking in competency compared to friends who came in house with transactional experience. Ditto to corporate governance. Would love some recommendations so that I can brush up in these areas and feel less like an imposter.

I've completed the final rounds for 2 companies: AWS as an L7 Principal PMT and another that's a Series-A funded startup in the HCM space. I expect offers from both: AWS around $400k TC ($250k base + $150k stock) and the startup should be around $300k TC ($250k base + 20% bonus). If comp wasn't the ONLY consideration, what would you do? The AWS role will be an IC role and more hands-on/technical. The startup will be a CPO role reporting to the CEO with a team of about 50 devs+PMs.

I'm a US citizen living abroad I applied almost 11 months ago for my spouse. Married for years, kid. I wait and wait. It seems this will take 2 years, maybe more. I feel trapped.

I feel trapped abroad and locked in a dysfunctional system. We're just in limbo, it's depressing
