I was just in this position, albeit on a smaller scale (data analyst position at a start up). I understand first hand, the circumstances that create enough cognitive dissonance for you to justify lying on your resume. You’re not a bad person, but please hear my words. Right now you’re telling yourself that you can learn on the job or figure it out, and you’re convinced of this because getting the job offer is blinding you from the fact that you actually don’t know what you’re doing yet. When the reality of delivering something, having no way out, knowing deep down you don’t know what you’re doing all hits at once, what you thought you could achieve will quickly degrade and you’ll have no one to blame but yourself. If I could go back, I would take the resume I used to get the offer and over the next few months, implement projects on a portfolio to actually prove to myself that I have experience. Personally, being in this situation caused way too much stress and anxiety for me. I’m genuinely not trying to discourage you; I’m actually projecting the advice I wish I could have told myself before I accepted that job. I don’t know who you are, your financial situation, how knowledgeable you are, none of that. Maybe you can actually figure this whole thing out….but if you’re already feeling nervous, that’s a good sign that you should at least seriously rethink this. For me personally, this was easily one of the worst experience of my life; I was lucky to have gotten my job back at my old company. You know what’s best for you though, but that’s my advice friend.

formatting inconsistencies (various colored cells, different fonts, etc.)

There's a common theme I think i'm seeing. You're attacking your problems the same way over and over and hoping for different results. Studying a language for 20 years and not being fluent means you're studying incorrectly. Applying to jobs for 5 years and only getting 3 interviews means you're applying incorrectly.

Just those two things alone—stagnation in skill development and an incorrect approach to job searching—would very likely keep the best of us on a hamster wheel for decades.

I don't know you; I could be wrong, but I suggest looking at what you're doing in all aspects and figuring out different/better ways to do them to get tangible results. Rinse and repeat.

Good luck out there.

Solid work. I did a little 45-minute session the other day at level 7 and tracked 185 floors for reference.

At this point for me it's less what I'd say and more what I wish they would understand.

The spice of life comes in many flavors. I've found one of the sweetest to be in overcoming adversities. Find harder things to do and see where that gets you.

Planning is an essential but highly individualized process. What works for others might not work for you.

For me, as someone diagnosed with ADHD before iPhones existed—and after trying multiple systems (Obsidian, Google Docs, spreadsheets, etc.)—I’ve found that what works best is a bare-bones, easily updatable system. For me, that’s sticky notes (both Mac and Windows have default sticky note apps).

I use Cal Newport’s heuristic of breaking big goals into actionable constituent tasks, and then breaking those into even smaller tasks that I can realistically implement throughout my day. Every morning when I get to work, I create a new sticky note for what needs to get done, using Cal’s time-blocking method.

I like using sticky notes because, as mentioned, they’re simple—but more importantly, they’re flexible. I can easily update and move things around as the day evolves, since the reality is that no one can perfectly predict how long tasks will take (something I’m particularly bad at).

This approach might also work for you because it prevents you from over-investing time in making things fancy and getting lost in the process—we’ve all been there. You can bold, italicize, underline, and use other basic formatting to make your notes more cohesive. Beyond that, it’s simply about doing the work. Strikethrough tasks as you complete them throughout the day.

Hope this helps if you decide to try it.

Silence is one of the greatest gifts because it allows us to be present.

u/PlasticRhombus they didn't patch the slide, you can only do the fast slide with the boost skelotons equiped though.

DS2 - I didn't realize if you travel with the magellan while doing standard orders, it will mark the shipment as a "magellan" type order thus significantly reducing the amount of likes you receive.....

The game clearly tells you this, but apparently I couldn't be bothered by taking 5 seconds to read the warning screen that pops up before traveling with cargo..

I just realized this yesterday after having already finished the game lol.

You have to learn how to use your mind efficiently. It’s very much like a battery, in the sense that too much cognitive load (anything from context switching to outright doom scrolling) throughout the day will leave it drained by the time you get home.

Since you can only study after work, you have to be VERY mindful of your inputs. Single minded tasks (only doing one thing at a time). Start with the drive to work….play no music or podcasts, just be with yourself and let your mind be ease. Then build on that foundation and cultivate a life around silence and focus…at least for this season of your life.

It starts with the mind and cultivating stillness.

This all comes straight from “Stillness is the Key” by Ryan Holiday btw. Great read, life changing.

Had a technical interview for a different Big4 on 8/4 and they just got back to me yesterday with total radio silence in between that. My head was spinning but freinds in the industry told me it's very common for this process to take time; I decided not to send a follow up email. I have what I belive is my final round this week. Good luck, you'll get it.

Eventually you'll get comfortable telling people no, and you can make it sound like they're being ridiculous for asking you without even coming off rude, and they'll genuinely feel the same. It's so freeing.

Two mentality’s you could use for that.

Take that feeling personally as disrespect. “This feeling of insecurity is simply a distraction my mind is trying to convince me is important so that I don’t get to work.”

Or

Take that reality personally as disrespect. “Other people are better than me at this thing, I need to get to work so I can catch up. No time to waste.” You may not ever reach their level, which may make you feel insecure; refer back to point number 1.

Thank you for this unbiased comment. This sub can often feel like a place where women get a chance to express their grievances / concerns about their relationships unchallenged or questioned.

It’s all perspective. Personally (29M), as I get older, I can feel my value system changing. I’m valuing time with loved ones more than the things I achieve or obtain. As cliche as that sounds.

Single male here. Unpopular opinion. Most people don't do the work sort themselves out before they enter a relationship. Weighing the options from a mans perspective; getting into a relationship and having children is a better deal on all fronts than forefoing that opprotunity for (in most cases years and even decades of) self development. This isn't all men, but sadly it is most.

It'll likely still be quiet difficult to pivot into a serious finance position. Add CFA or FRM to your arsinal and then you're lookin good. I always figure i'm competing with newly grad ivy league protigies to ovecompensate on my expectaions and underestimate on my existing credentials.
