Would you guys work if you didn’t have to? I love this industry so much but if I didn’t have to work I would probably jump ship so quickly with how just stressful and uncertain everything is!

If I didn't have to work I wouldn't be doing my present job, that's for sure. It does relate to things I care about, but the stress and day to day grind of it can be deadening. If I didn't have to make a living I'd prefer to reside in a farmhouse in the west of Ireland, writing things I care about and walking the fields with a sheepdog. Yeah, that would do.

I am right there with you honestly. I don't dislike my job, and truthfully, I would probably stay in it if I could pick and choose my work schedule. I'd just go down to part time or only work half days. That would be the dream

I think I’m the same! Cutting out work completely probably would be a bit boring but I definitely would not put as much energy into it as I do now by a long shot

Not a chance! I would be gone in a second. My job is fine as far as jobs go, but I would far rather be exploring the world. I could always volunteer with organizations I care about if I felt like I needed something during my day.

That’s the dream! There just has to be more than working a desk.

I would still work, but be incredibly selective about the jobs I take - it would be more so about the tasks and projects than the money.

I think I would still work, I enjoy my job and how everyday is different- maybe a shorter week though haha!

Hmmm tricky! I do like my job a lot and the fun of an ever changing day. I think I’d have to do some kind of job to keep myself from not going insane, whether that’ll be what I’m doing now I’m not too sure!

I have a deadline to respond to a Motion for SMJ in 1 1/2 weeks. I just found out that my grandparents who I haven’t seen since the start of the pandemic will visit this week. I want to spend as much time as possible with them but it will be hard with my response due. I really don’t want to tell the Court that I am seeking an extension for personal reason, what would be a good reason to provide? I clearly don’t want to misstate anything but is there some general, vague language that can be used?

How necessary is an extracurricular for MBA apps? I work a ton of hours and don’t have a lot of time or interest in any activity that I could reasonably put on an app. I spend the little free time I have on activities I enjoy (spending time with SO and friends, working out, Netflix, etc). Would it be really bad if I had nothing in that section on my app beyond college extracurriculars? Or should I force some activity? I have enough time before I apply to make it look legit to adcoms.

I once asked a colleague at a radio company how much he's paid monthly, and he outright refused to tell me. In fact, he found it very odd that I asked. I later learned that he was making double my salary. I know it's not an employee's job to fix pay inequity by sharing their salary figures, but I'm still of the opinion that it helps uncover pay gaps. But do you think it's wise to do so at the risk of damaging your work environment or the whole thing backfiring on you? Thoughts are welcome.
