For a mid level strat? Seems ambitious but I appreciate your response.

Not sure if this is the best move. But I'm considering making a move to more of consulting/ design thinking kind of role. May still lean a bit more on the agency side (think accenture). For in-house i think it's not wise to go client side yet at mid-level. I feel like I don't have a full command / visibility on the business side yet. I was thinking on going to a branding agency (think interbrands). Who knows where I'll end up though 🌪 Feel free to connect, it'd be nice to discuss career moves with someone in a similar position

Newbie question: I’m looking to lose the last ~15 lbs and put on some lean muscle. Female, new to weightlifting. I’m getting a lot of conflicting advice online. Currently Im planning to eat in a deficit (CICO), and do a fully body routine focused on compound movements 3x a week. I already do cardio 3/4x per week. Is this ideal? Should I be lifting more? Im seeing some people say lift 6x a week and some say you need recovery days

Today for the first time in my career 10+ I gave up. I didn’t quit my job, but I gave up on it. This is certainly not inline with my personal brand, and now has me questioning if I need a “rebrand”. Never had to do that before, my brand professionally and personally was just always my authentic self, I never had to put thought against building (or rebuilding) it. Any tips?
