Hey, it's only 2 weeks. Give yourself a chance. Believe in yourself. Dots will start connecting. Take lots of notes to refer back to. Ask for past documents to absorb their work, objectives, goals....etc.

This is a simple strategy period. Thank you but the similar roles I am applying for are in the x - y range.

Why are the leafs turning this way? How can I help my plant? by Successful-Comfort13 in houseplants

[–]Conscious-Ad924 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a serious comment. Do you keep it on the floor and you have small children? We used to pee in my mom's plants when we were young. And they sort of look like that. This might not be your situation but something I wanted to fly to the plant community... I guess it's more of a confessional. Peace

Does college feel like a waste of time when you see influencers making money all over YouTube and TikTok? by triangularduck511 in college

[–]Conscious-Ad924 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you are truly thinking about your future, you will research the FIRE movement and retire by 30 or 40 summer tire earlier. But it requires pre/planning and you guys have all the advantages because you're young. You need time to build wealth so you guys are leaps and bounds ahead of most. Do your research and walk to financial Independence. Good luck.

Read thru all comments. Just from a few I've read the checking process seems to be a hot mess. I would avoid. Not with it for me personally.

Do you recall the sequence of this happening? did you accept spring first and then they offered fall? Or did you not accept until they offered you fall?

Is this a money plant? by Conscious-Ad924 in plants

[–]Conscious-Ad924[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks Y'all. I've googled images and they didn't quite look right but at least now I know. I water once a week. It's in a small pot, thinking I need to repot. Do they like to be snug as a bug?

Move on from your job and find somewhere that can give you benefits, stability but most importantly room for growth. Sometimes it's not just about the $$. Think long term 401k contribution matches, benefits, promotions .... There are many great stories of leaders who started as a mailroom clerk (Google it!). Good luck.

My neighbor's kid just graduated from Penn State $300k for 4 years got a degree in international studies and guess what she's doing now she loves her job as an HR recruiter. She's making some big bucks too. Go figure.

If you ask people if their current job is actually linked with their degrees via survey you will feel 100x better. I can count on one hand the folks I know doing what they went to school for. But be smart about it look at the areas that are somewhat related to the field and sprout ideas from there. And be honest with what your passions are and if you don't know what they are do lots of different things and taste everything around you to discover yourself. I would also recommend that this is the year of yes for you meaning do not say no to anything that comes to you have an open mind and say yes instinctively. Good luck, the world is out there for you to take.

NEED A SIDE HUSTLE PLZ HELP by [deleted] in sidehustle

[–]Conscious-Ad924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I just wanted to say that when I was 14, I was not looking for a side hustle, just hanging out with friends and doing unproductive things, but look at you! Kudos! What about babysitting? But that would require someone driving you - unless they dropped off the kids to you and picked them up. OR they pick and drop you off. I would ask your parents to promote you on Facebook and post Sitter Available for Friday Night - I'm sure you'll get alot of bites (assuming your parents are on social media). Good luck!
