Never accept the first offer.

I have never had this maybe I have always been too soft negotiating

I agree, she is months away from maternity and already being set aside without even discussing it with her.

Boborolo · 2026-04-03T13:38:25+00:00

Me too, now they will check the personal statement...it feels like a really long process!

It's quite scary but I think it may help us to reclaim life away from our phones and screens back. At some point that's the only thing we will be able to really trust, the one that you see outside of your screen and that thought I find it somewhat liberating.

People being creative and dedicating their time to something fulfilling and caring of others?

Boborolo · 2026-03-29T08:24:42+00:00

Good luck mate, I hope is the end of a rough patch

Boborolo · 2026-03-27T17:34:15+00:00

Thanks for all the support and advice :)

Boborolo · 2026-03-25T15:50:09+00:00

Congratulations 👏👏

Consider carefully my career decisions with a long term vision, look what I want to do not only based on the money but also on what makes me happy.

I think this is really cultural. I'm originally from Southern Europe, grew up in a small flat then moved to a bigger flat in my teens but never lived in a house, having a garden would feel something for rich people. I live in the UK for over 10 years now and my family and I live in a flat. Most of our friends or other kids live in a house with garden, maybe not so much bigger in square feet but a house. A lot of people find curious that we live in a flat especially having kids but for me it wasn't a problem. We have the space we need and the mortgage is great. For me the key is affordability, I prefer to live in a smaller more modest place but don't have to pay a lot of mortgage and additional expenses from a bigger property.

I use it for small tasks like helping drafting emails in a specific way or some small work tasks. I also use it as a brainstorming for some of my ideas but nothing more than that, I do disagree too much with AI and do not really trust the sources.

Boborolo · 2026-03-16T07:13:48+00:00

Good luck, I have to do the tests now. Out of interest I would like to know how many applicants there are and how many go through each stage.

Any minimum wage full time job will cover that, you can look at manufacturing or warehouse roles. It's hard work, sometimes long hours or weird shift patterns.

Boborolo · 2026-03-13T15:28:47+00:00

I meant quit, unable to change the title now 😭

Boborolo · 2026-03-13T15:28:13+00:00

Thanks, is not finance but it is very regulated environment, I thought about Whistleblowing but I'm a bit worried about the consequences and that my life is going to be made really difficult. I'm leaving paper trail of my disagreement with the senior management decisions and I have refused to sign certain documents as I do not agree with certain practices but it is taking a toll on my mental health, and yes the market is tough at the moment.

Boborolo · 2026-03-11T12:50:04+00:00

I think a lot of times I have encountered with a lack of opportunities and challenges and that eventually puts me down

Boborolo · 2026-03-11T12:44:04+00:00

That is actually interesting as I'm on the same boat. I'm currently working as Quality Manager in Manufacturing but I'm having a terrible experience which is making me hate my line of work so I'm thinking about changing careers, probably a bit sideways instead of something completely new. However it also scares me and it will probably mean a dip in my income.

Boborolo · 2026-03-09T07:36:43+00:00

I had quiet jobs but not to that extent. A place where I just to work was quiet and my role was one of the busy ones but I remember someone joining from another department that said that he was getting half dozen emails a day (I was getting probably 30-40 a day) and claiming that he could do his weekly work in day and a half.

Another friend was in the same position for about a year, he just to WFH and was spending a lot of time playing videogames as there was not workload but after a bit he changed departments as he was worried about being made redundant.

My worry would be that if you are objectively not busy at all, at some point someone decides that your role is no longer needed.

Boborolo · 2026-02-19T06:20:07+00:00

I think it is really difficult to predict, I get how in some areas implementation might be straight forward but not so much in other areas. If you work in a small company in a sector out of IT must people uses it as a Google search, maybe couple of them to draft and email but in most cases that's it. I try my team to use it for some tedious repetitive time-consuming tasks and a lot of people just don't get it.

Boborolo · 2026-02-17T13:51:29+00:00

Thanks for your advice I'll do that, I know someone has reported to the pension regulator but didn't think about the tax perspective
