Held against you? You’re leaving, why do you care? As long as you’re not abusive and are professional/factual, you shouldn’t care. How “honest” depends on your personality. Do you like diplomacy more than bluntness? Regardless, anything you say (unless it’s illegal) isn’t going to impact you. Exit interviews are useless compliance checks that companies put in place to come across as “open to feedback and looking for ways to improve”. Nothing really changes.

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?

So my fiancée and I are relatively late in terms of finally landing well paying jobs and being able to save money instead of living paycheck to paycheck. We’re both 36 and currently rent a 2 bedroom in NY and have a combined savings of $35,000 which she wants to use as a down payment on a condo. I kinda just wanna continue saving while renting. I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.
