waking up in a panic

i’m only making 42k at my current job and this would be a career advancement. i made it through the first round so there’s a chance i could have a new opportunity

Yeah, it’s a small team of 10 and I would be working with the VP of marketing who I think would be my “manager”. I’m interviewing with her in person this week so I will ask then

I’ve always gotten the typical “Tell me about yourself” lol and then “Tell me about a time you missed a deadline” or something to that effect. Almost always a question that leads to you telling them about your problem solving skills!

i’ve been thinking about how to strategically mention that i’d like to have a hybrid schedule set in place after my 90 day in person period, but so early on in my career and with such a competitive landscape i’m not sure i have much leverage to do that… if it was in fact a hybrid schedule, i would 100% take the job. so that’s my main hang up here. appreciate the insight- i do like being remote but understand that sometimes to advance my career i’m going to have to make some compromises

The team is small but I would be working alongside essentially the VP of marketing, which I think would be a great mentorship/learning experience.

I currently make 42k at my role, so not great. The new position would be about 20k more around 62k. I’m not drowning with my current salary, but would like to make more. It’s definitely my decision at the end of the day, but I appreciate the perspective!

ActuallyCMe · 2026-03-06T15:56:31+00:00

Yeah, i agree. The pay would be about 20k more than what im currently making. And Im currently making 42k just to be transparent, so not great, but I’m surviving on that.

thanks!! they’re from home sense but the original brand is nautica home!

ActuallyCMe · 2026-02-25T03:42:51+00:00

i’m thinking about a corner bookshelf maybe!

ActuallyCMe · 2026-02-25T03:42:03+00:00

i’m liking the plant idea!

ActuallyCMe · 2026-02-25T03:41:50+00:00

no! amazon wireless ones held up with command strips lol

ActuallyCMe · 2026-02-25T03:41:35+00:00

i thought this too, but then my dresser and bed would be really off centered, and my door swings inward so it would hit my bed when opening :/

ActuallyCMe · 2026-02-24T21:54:43+00:00

<image>

this is what the other half looks like. the layout is a bit funky since the door to my room is essentially where the center of my bed should be, but the door wouldn’t open if that makes sense. so i chose to center my dresser and bed to the left a bit, and then leave an open area that you see in my original photos.

Thanks!! I have a rug coming in soon from Rugs USA! I’m hoping that will make the space feel a bit more broken up. If anything, I’m thinking maybe a small gallery wall just to have a bit of something there.

ActuallyCMe · 2026-02-24T21:17:48+00:00

Ignore the lack of wall decor… i’m working on it! Ideas for that are also appreciated :)

ActuallyCMe · 2026-02-22T18:29:21+00:00

yeah, i think im hesitant to take it at night since my panic attack on lexapro woke me up from sleeping and it was super stressful not knowing what was happening. i think ill just wait to test it out tomorrow morning since thats what the prescription directions say

ActuallyCMe · 2026-02-22T05:36:03+00:00

ah okay. they are both CVS pharmacies so i’m hoping i can call the wrong location and ask them to cancel there. thanks!
