AOA everyone! I am a Pakistani currently living in Germany. I am in the final stages of getting a transfer to Canada but can’t decide between Toronto or Vancouver. Both have high COL so I’m trying to weigh the pros and cons. I know Vancouver’s weather is a lot better than Toronto, but any recommendations from Canadians on the bowl?

Men - do you try to get out of an argument/fight by pretending like nothing happened? Why so?

I just came home sobbing because I got too drunk at my female best friends house and her husbands male friend tried to take advantage of me when we were left alone in a hot tub. My boyfriend didn’t ask if I was okay but instead screamed at me, threw things and left the house. Dumping him is the only logical answer?? Am I crazy?

Let's get Meta with it here for a second. Since it's Monday, and I'm relatively jr. I'm interested to hear your experience breaking into the industry as a minority. What was it like.

Advise on handling rates negotiations with BIPOC and non-male creators? I always want to accept first bid and get uncomfortable when my bosses push to undercut rates (especially now when money is tight), because there is a whole history of BIPOC and non-male people getting paid less. I’ve tried to push back but struggle to articulate this to them. (For the record, I’m POC female and my bosses are white males, and race/gender convos are already very difficult with them.)

Looking for advice (& empathy): Started out in advertising, then became a journalist. Moved to the US for grad school, and back to advertising few years ago. Now stuck at a company where I’m deeply unhappy but they sponsor the visa (not H1B, so it’s not a huge ask). Also not too sure of advertising as my heart is still in journalism but this pays the bills. Wary of other companies that might push me into working (most) weekends and evenings +Still don’t fully understand the US job market. Tips?
