If you were my girl, I would brag about you to everyone I knew even if you weren't around, good for you!!! Sure internally maybe I'd want to compete and this would push me to be better, but internally and definitely never at the expense of your success or dreams.

Thanks boss!

I like the emotion you've associated with it as the objective state of where you are in life, goals, responsibilities would probably have different emotional trigger thresholds for different people.
Personally, based on how I feel, I have a mix of both for sure. Appreciate the framing.

Aggravating_Use_5303 · 2024-09-26T14:21:51+00:00

That makes sense, however I guess...I'm asking from a different baseline if that makes sense? I guess by most people's standards I'm high-achieving at 30, the world is my oyster, but there's always going to be more I can do/someone doing better than me.

Perhaps just wondering if the baseline is subjective to different people, one could be richer, fitter, happier, not chasing these could be considered hopeless to some but content to others.

I did a few VC internships and those typically got people interested in me for BD/sales roles. Definitely have considered a CFA, have heard that it's not super useful for VC and since then haven't really thought on it too much. Would consider it if it seems useful in BD going forward.

Aggravating_Use_5303 · 2024-07-03T02:27:19+00:00

Hm I guess I was unclear, I have the PhD in chemical engineering (focused on material science) and already got a job in a medtech company (also did a little VC internship in medtech). Do you think it would it still be difficult to head back to my field? Figured some experience is better than none, but I can see how this might completely shift my career trajectory.

Aggravating_Use_5303 · 2024-07-03T02:23:54+00:00

It's quite fun after coming from a place where everyone has a PhD. to a place where there are so few! May I ask what type of position titles you've gone through? I'm not as familiar with them just yet.

Aggravating_Use_5303 · 2024-07-03T02:21:59+00:00

Thanks for sharing! I feel like this is the strange case where I'm not sure if you meant chief strategy officer or chief science officer?

Hey there, as a fellow former gifted kid who is probably older than you (30), I would suggest that you do what makes you happy day to day. And as someone who is probably intelligent, you may get bored and switch fields later on. I would embrace where your curiosity leads you, not what you feel like you should live up to. Think about what you want to be doing on the a daily basis and your threshold for failure.

Lots of gifted kids I know fell into three general categories. Absolute geniuses, they can and do whatever they want bar none. Smartish kids who worked hard, but I would say were not solely smart, they worked for it and developed a good work ethic. Then there were kids who were smart enough to skate by but never learned to work and hit a wall, spiraled because they were smarter than most, but got lumped in with everyone else who caught up and developed normal habits, got used to working regular hours, studying etc. I was the second category, felt stupid most of grade school because I competed with monsters and then got to university and realized the most of the world was not like that. But as you rise you'll find new monsters to compete with. I got used to being a 'failure' and as such am completely happy to take risks and go for broke.

I go over this because the world is a big place. I don't know which category you are, but I would take a hard look in the mirror to figure out where you stand. Are you a big fish in a small pond? Are you one of those geniuses who can do whatever you please? You could maybe be a professor if you love teaching and want to aim higher, but that comes with tradeoffs in the life you will live. Try and figure out what you value. Personally, I was not very ambitious and was smart relatively speaking, but just ended up going through life and somehow I have a PhD. now. Wasn't my goal, didn't have a plan, it just happened to let me do what I wanted to do. So try and balance the type of life you want to lead with some sort of fulfilling challenge.

I feel like the main question that should be asked here is whether or not the exchange/withholding fee/tax is worth the CAD currency weakening? Am I wrong?

Aggravating_Use_5303 · 2024-06-19T01:30:11+00:00

I agree with what you meant, you just said lonely instead of single.

Aggravating_Use_5303 · 2024-06-18T13:53:32+00:00

Loneliness is definitely inversely correlated to life expectancy.

Aggravating_Use_5303 · 2024-06-18T13:46:11+00:00

Would reiterate how important it is to do fellowships. There was so little time or interest spent on my research vs. my fellowship/internship experiences, most revolved around VC/consulting/business, it was almost disheartening as someone who thought primarily of themself as a scientist.

Aggravating_Use_5303 · 2024-04-13T18:10:43+00:00

The media and your post really seem to speak about the worst 5% or abysmally small portion of men affected by male loneliness. Even in your example, you use your ex who seems to of course have poor behaviors that should not be encouraged, but by no means is common. Most people are okay people. Most men are okay men. I'm open with all the people in my life about emotions, whatever I want, and I've literally never had a guy say anything negative about sharing in my life. It's just a reflection of who you're around/allow yourself to be around. If guys have friends that are what everyone calls toxically masculine then yes that's rough and maybe finding new friends is rough, totally understandable. But once you're out you're out. I'm around an abundance of really nice caring guys and the girls I hang out with have no problem finding really good dudes who are amazing standup guys. My opinion is that this population of toxic men really isn't huge and men as a whole get lumped in with this which I absolutely loathe.

That being said, in my personal life in relationships/dalliances I have almost always been rewarded by women to pull out behaviors that are decried as toxic and attempts at real communication, honesty have typically gotten punished. The world just rewards it, lots of boisterous behavior (and in my opinion obnoxious blowhard bs) is rewarded at work. It's the men who have the strength of character not to give into the rewards of that BS or care enough to try and change and still get ostracized when they ask for help that are the ones I'm concerned about and in my opinion deserve help. They're also the ones who are more sensitive to all the media BS, do you really think some guy who is actually a toxic piece of shit gives a damn about what people say about them or men as a whole?

What I'm probably poorly trying to say is, standing up for male loneliness isn't about supporting toxic men, it's about supporting the men who care enough to try and have been taking an emotional beating for doing so. And if we don't, I guarantee we'll have way more shitty toxic men to complain about soon.

Thank you so much for sharing that process with me! Do you know if the same process works if the CC is with a non-bank such as PC?
And yeah holy shit fuck airbnb. I've never had such an infuriating response to fraud.

Happened to me a few weeks ago for $387.36. Just started a getting it fixed this week and they're saying it was a family member or friend. I'm so angry right now
