I think I’ve been stressed in every role, even if I didn’t need to be. Insecure overachiever mentality.

Non-supervisory GS-14 role with the US federal government. I was making mid $140s for a ~30 hour workweek (technically 40, but usually only about 25-30 hours of actual work), 3 days WFH, and looked great compared to my coworkers since with few exceptions they were all worthless wastes of space. In my 3 years in that role, I worked over 40 hours all of twice.

Probably not healthy, but if I’m not stressed, I’m not challenged, and it’s time to move on. Sorry, I know I haven’t really answered your question.

Sandwich Artist at Subway during high school.

I ate so many cookies. Fresh baked from the oven (or better yet, from the sandwich toaster) or even frozen dough. Plus we’d trade food with the kids at the Dairy Queen across the street.

Sure, I earned $6.50 an hour but it was low stress.

Hi all, I’d love to hear from PR/Comms folks about the process of transitioning from agency to an in-house role. What kind of chance does a PR pro with ~7 years of solid experience across CPG and hospitality brands, including a mix of global agency work and smaller boutique firms, have at going in house? Do you typically need more experience before going in house? Would be great to hear about various experiences from those that have made the transition. Thanks!

Hello People,

I received a verbal offer letter from
Oracle. I said yes and things moved on. BGV was initiated as well. BUT, Yesterday I received a call from the hiring manager that Oracle is putting hiring freeze, so they are not able to release offer letter as 1 approval was still pending from the VP. He said I will be contacted once freeze is over. Do you think I still have any chances of getting in once the freeze is lifted and how long the freezes are in Oracle ? Oracle

Anyone have recommendations on how to switch to a client side role in a different city/part of the country? I'm still fairly junior with a few years under my belt but I've always targeted this specific company as my "dream company" and feel now is the time to try to make a move before a) being called back to the office and b) while the job market is hot. It would be a big move geographically but I'm worried me being far away will knock me out of the running despite qualifications. Any advice?

Crying for my RSUs….started at my company about 6 months ago and got some RSUs split over 3 years. Turns out the stock price at time of my hiring (which is what was used to calculate the number of shares over the three years) was the highest it’s ever been.
