What do you do on your spare time? Looking for hobbies so I can stop telling myself “I’ll just keep working cause I have nothing better to do”.

May be I should work for deloitte cause I would like some spare time. 🤔

Seriously, in the summer I usually do gardening or go for hikes (leave close to provincial park).

Through the year cook, read books, enroll in courses to learn about something different (udemy, colleges, university etc, free or paid), watch shows, aiming to add regular workouts to this list.

We are looking to restructure our marketing team (B2B IT services) and one of the questions I have is: how does recruitment marketing / employer branding fit into the marketing team?
Over the last year EB and RM have become increasingly larger parts of our team’s work, but it’s not part of the marketing commercial targets (just helping recruitment meet their targets). Are they completely separate in your company? Or part of the team and if so how?

Accounting vs FP&A. Which one has bright future and good compensation when you go up the ladder. I know they are totally different. Just thinking to decide between whether to switch career.
