Do FAANGs prefer you have tech experience or does having a deal list with a bunch of Fortune 100 companies make you marketable enough? I have the latter but not the former. Happy at my firm, though it doesn’t do a lot of tech work.

Unbeknownst to my friends or family, I just stopped by Pinkberry on my way to pick up dinner and ate a small chocolate hazelnut with candied pecans under an awning in the rain in the most harried and shameful way. Much like I used to slam two IPAs while waiting for a take out order. 😂

Have been fortunate enough to see large comp/responsibility increases in my early career (~$320K TC, 7-8 YOE) but starting to feel really stuck. Looking to make a move but most opptys are either slightly worse pay or have limited career growth runway.

Finding that low <10 YOE is really holding me back from the truly great opportunities. Anybody else feeling the same thing / have advice?

Can someone walk me through the Do's and Don't's of AA miles? I think they're a joke.

I have 65k miles and I could only pay for a one-way ticket from PHX-JFK. I had to book 1 leg with miles and the 1 with cash, but booking the other leg in cash was about 80% of the round trip in cash.

My mom has 12k miles that expire soon, transferring them would cost me $450. I can pay for a round trip with that cash but I can only pay for a trip to my kitchen with those 12k miles.

What am I doing wrong? 😂

Billing question - Do you have clients pay an outstanding balance within 30 days of sending out your account or earlier? I’ve heard some firms require clients to pay as soon as the account is rendered (ie. within 5 business days) but not sure if clients actually do that in reality and you end up chasing them? Any creative ideas are welcome!

Anyone in here have general anxiety disorder and/or agoraphobia?

Then I literally couldn’t be anywhere outside of my bedroom let alone my house. I’ve come a long way with therapy and meds and I’m trying to convince myself that I can look for on-site EA roles but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t scared.
