- questions from an overworked first year staff 😂

I need some help. I love my partner but her insomnia is just painful.
She won't meditate. She won't do something relaxing. She won't get out of bed and reset when she can't sleep. She just lays there and then she gets frustrated and around 2am she's just a ball of tears because she can't sleep. I of course, wake up and comfort her and help her get to sleep but this can't keep going on.
Any suggestions for insomnia, this has gone in for 5 years?

I love my team, the resources and training , PTO, etc… but, I’m underpaid for sure. I got involved with this agency for the training and notoriety. When should I jump ship and which way should I go to make the most $$$ with work/life balance. ??? I know it’s a broad topic without more specs but general answers will do. Thanks!

Hi everyone, currently on the job hunt and I’ve had several recruiting firms reach out. Does anyone have experience with LanceSoft Inc? They’ve reached out to me with a promising role but online reviews claim this to be an illegitimate company.
