Fortune 500 < Fortune 100. Nay!

I think it depends on your interest. Personally, id never want to work as a CFO cause I don't find finance organizations interesting

Do you have a strategy remit? Are you treated as a glorified internal bean counter or as someone who is a partner in decision-making? Do you want to be a CFO?

Do you get a badge there , Dep you tee ?

Yay. And you also go to jail if someone f... the books! :)

Nay, BU leader is where it's at

So… 3.5 year relationship came crashing in Jan due to covid depression, work burn out, lockdown etc. We have stayed in contact and recently he has come around to apologizing and considering getting back together. However he also revealed he started seeing someone casually 4 weeks ago and technically is cheating on her by meeting me for coffee and to discuss this. I’m upset that he’s dating others but shouldn’t be right? I mean, I did the same. Still hurts though. And I told him to sort that out
