Trying not to overthink this but would love some advice 🙃 I just got an offer from a firm last week (super grateful), but I’m also expecting another offer by the end of this week that I would 100% take over the first. Would you recommend asking the first company for a few extra days to decide (risking them getting turned off), or accepting now and potentially reneging if the other offer comes through? It’s taken me a while to land an offer so I don’t want to mess this up 😩

I think it is reasonable to ask for an extension until Monday to make your decision. If they say no then you have to decide what you’ll do

Can you nudge the second company to see? It's easier to say I'm more interested in your company than to tell another to wait

Ask for an extension. Also, be sure that second offer is confirmed - learned that earlier in my career, when later offer didn’t fall through & extension period was done.

Hi Everyone, I’m looking for advice. Right now I’m currently facing a hard decision. I’ve been at my work for 5 months as an HR assistant and have been given the opportunity to take on the Executive Assistant role. I’m in my early 20’s and still unsure what career path I want to take. I know I want to keep moving up and doing more but again, not sure where I want to be. I’d appreciate your thoughts and advice from your experiences along with pros/cons on either position. Anything would help!

What is a simple way to explain to my boyfriend that investing in equity with an expected return of 10% is better than paying off debt that is growing at a rate of 6%. He has student loans and is adamant that he wants to pay all of them off immediately before saving any retirement money. I understand that many individuals use this strategy but I think investing in index funds for the long haul is better from a wealth accumulation perspective, without even factoring in tax implications of 401k

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot. It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)
