Would you all avoid going to California/Oregon during fire season? I really wanted to visit in August/Sept but idk if it’s worth the risk with what’s going on right now

Depends where. I’m from LA and I wouldn’t plan a trip to northern CA during that time...southern is a better bet but still a tad risky.

I mean, if you bring marshmallows, you'll have fun even if there is a fire

Yeah I'm in the Bay Area and the smoke has been nasty the last few years. Makes it nearly impossible to do anything outside and can be for a couple weeks at a time

Yeah I was looking at more Northern CA

I live in Oregon. I’ll be here. In all seriousness it could depend on where you want to go. If you’re going to the beach or the bigger cities it could be ok. We had awful smoke last year in Portland but it was way more severe than normal (forest fires happen every year unfortunately). If you’re planning on an outdoor adventure anywhere close to an active fire I would postpone or adjust your trip.

Promotion & salary increase question.

Im a project manager with 8 years of experience & currently managing 3 major projects that bring in minimum 10 million in licensing each year (before adjustment).

Currently I manage 15 developers & BAs + external teams & roughly a 6 million $ budget in professional service fees. I’m putting in 55-60 hour weeks and my job feels more like program management than a project manager.

What should I really be asking for here in a raise & comp cycle?

Hi all,

Looking for a little help on developing a website prototype to test (app too if possible). I need:

A backend that allows for volunteers to add their availability hours (something like Calendly integration), short bio, profile pic etc

A front end that requires users to sign up, and then lets them directly sign up with the volunteers.

I looked at Wix online booking system but you can only schedule staff by working hours. Built sites on WP before but lacking in time currently.
