My dad was an engineer and we always worked on his home projects together so it got me into tinkering. I just never stopped doing it and now I'm here doing the same thing for a living, just with a higher budget haha

I work studying the behavior of household pets, specifically cats. The reason is exactly what you expect, I grew up in a cat household and they've always held a special place in my heart so now I dedicate my time towards learning more about them and how to cultivate relationships with our feline friends :)

The money of course. Wish I had some grand reason for doing what I do but really it just pays well and I like having an expensive lifestyle so it's the best way I have to support it

I always thought of research scientists as the unsung heroes of our society. They spend so much time behind the scenes working to improve our lives in whatever way possible and I always kind of admired that. Obviously I know now that it's not always very glamorous but I like knowing that my work will one day translate into something that others can reap the benefits of

I was always interested in science and nature. I loved exploring the world around me and trying to figure out how everything worked. When I started studying biology in college, I knew I had found my calling. I love learning about the intricate details of life and how everything is interconnected.

I am constantly inspired by the amazing discoveries being made in the field of science and the potential they have to improve our world.

I became interested in science when I was young. My parents would take me to the library and I would check out books about dinosaurs, space, and other science topics. I loved learning about new things and exploring the world around me. When I got older, I decided that I wanted to pursue a career in science. I wanted to learn more about the world and help make a difference in the world. Science allows me to do both of those things, and I am passionate about it.

I pursued a career in science because I have always been fascinated by the natural world and the way in which it works. Science allows us to explore and understand the world around us in a way that is both logical and systematic, and I find that incredibly interesting. Science is constantly evolving, and there are always new discoveries to be made, which makes it a very exciting field to be involved in.

I was in highschool when an older friend of mine told me the ways her climate change-related research was being swept under the rug by politicians. It made me made enough that I ended up following a path similar to hers to try and make a difference.

Unable to decide to leave my current company. They are actively blocking my growth and I got an offer for a title promotion, but a significant pay cut. The new job offers $100k, 26 days pto, hybrid 2/3 remote, 37.5 hours a week. My current job (7yrs) offers $102k, 42 days pto, office optional 35 hrs a week. With the new job being in CT, the increase in taxes, 3x increase in insurance premium, and travel to and from, I am looking at $700 a month pay cut. Is career advancement worth $700 a month?

I got turned down for three mid level design positions. I don’t know if it’s because my last position was as an art director and they’re just confused or if I seem not as enthusiastic about the role as I should be but it’s definitely disheartening because I’m unemployed and I need to get back to work. I have since decided to focus more on senior designer and Art Director roles at a higher rate and will go from there.

Do you think there’s a glass ceiling for out gay employees? I’ve been with my (now) husband for the last two decades and had three positions.

I even took on the responsibilities of a senior director after his firing and I couldn’t get promoted. My handpicked successor — who I think is an excellent marketer — became a director almost immediately.
