Tbh I have learned to enjoy eating alone.

Usually I’ll look up the city I’m being sent to and look for restaurants or spots to grab lunch/dinner. I like to save 3-4 spots and if I like them, I go back! I tend to text my friends and family about the places I go to, and that makes it a bit more enjoyable for me.

I don’t actually, I enjoy eating alone on occasion. Going out of town helps feed that need I guess.

I usually do 1 of two things, either find a place where the staff isn’t too busy and engage with them and/or bring something to distract me (book/phone/work)

Is it ok to tell your boss/job that you're looking to transition to product, and tell recruiters you're looking for roles in product before you've quit your other job? Or should I wait until I get an offer before telling anyone. I don't want to lose my job or disappoint my boss but product is where I want to end up and I'm working towards that.
