I thought it would be a great idea to buy a new surfboard and wetsuit so I could “learn how to surf” during quarantine (my parents live close to a beach and I’m staying with them for now). I’ve used it about 3 times since June. Each “surf outing” consists of me wiping out multiple times then giving up 🤦‍♂️

In my defense, I did take a surfing class with some of my friends about a year ago, so I had the surfing bug around that time

My boyfriend has gone on and on for years about how he wanted to learn the keyboard/piano because he used to play some with his aunt as a kid. I bought him a keyboard thinking it was a thoughtful gift, and he’s maybe used it three times since April 😅

Three observations from my market analysis this week:
1) Still work to do in repairing damaged trends with only energy and financials up over the last month
2) Technology has issues with rates, valuations, and supply chains for chips, so this could be heavy on the indexes
3) Setup for the week is concerning with OPEX, lots of data releases, and almost no IVOL premium - lots of event risk and limited hedging in place

Do NOT claim you are "colorblind" in the workplace. 1. DE&I knowledge is now a core leadership competency. Colorblind claims will earn you the reputation of being DEI-ignorant at best & racist at worst. 2. Colorblindness within the context of workplace diversity is an obvious lie. You do NOT want to be painted as an intellectually dishonest leader. 3. Colorblind claims signal that you lack the leadership skills & vocabulary to have key conversations. Ask questions here, in this safe space.

How important is it to nab referrals to jobs that you are applying to? I know some people in tech that say it’s really important to land the first round, but is it the same in business? Also re: recruiter DMs/emails, do you have an advantage in the interview process if you are reached out to, or is it just something they do on a mass scale during hiring frenzies?

$1500/mo in rent each

Savings: $12k/$1k (covers 3.5% FHA)

I got a full time offer from the company I interned at this summer. However, I have been applying and interviewing at various consulting firms so far. Some of them I won’t hear back until September/October. Is it wrong to accept the offer and then reject it if I get a better offer? I don’t wanna burn a bridge with this company since I really enjoyed my experience there but I have to be smart with my decision since I graduate in December and need an earlier work start date.
