Some weeks I'm sitting around without much to do and getting lunch/coffee and setting up meetings. Other weeks I'm swamped and am self sufficient, owning deliverables and running meetings.

Financials, deck making, note taking, managing MAP file, etc. An Associate needs to master basic skills but should begin to own deliverables, lead workshops/ review sessions, supervise others, etc. over time

Sounds about right. And no 2 engagements are the same. Also, if you're running errands for the team, it's cool, however, if your manager/partner is having you run personal errands then that's pushing it. Have boundaries and don't be taken advantage of.

^Exactly. Your job isn't to get coffee for everyone or run dry cleaning, we don't even make interns do that shit

Friends, need some feedback on an idea:

I’m thinking of starting a podcast interviewing leaders at startups about their experience with specific challenges - I know, cliche, get a more original hobby, etc.

Not looking for the narrative arc of How I Built This or Masters of Scale. Instead, looking to uncover specific problems faced by companies that tried something new for the first time. What did they not see coming, how did they adapt and measure, etc.

What are your thoughts on this format?

He never initiated conversation with me first, but if I messaged him, he would respond back immediately. Then after 4 months he ghosted me on the app we were talking on. I texted him and he told me he had a gf. I am completely heartbroken. What kind of behavior was this?
