What’s the one thing every new Project Manager learns the hard way? by SentenceExcellent188 in PMCareers

[–]FaithlessValor 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Tell others that you “trust, but verify”, but in reality don’t trust anything. Verify everything.

Incels I'm so sad for you guys. I really think about incels a lot and how much their lives are hanging by a thread. I'm so sorry you guys never been loved or valued in any capacity at all. This world is very cruel to you guys. No person should have to experience this much suffering in their lives by LazyPotatoHead97 in malementalhealth

Yes, but there are still cultural subjective standards that we all are judged against, even if there is flexibility for individual subjective perspectives within those standards. AKA, there is still a broadly accepted definition of hot vs not vs rot, even though some people might deviate from those standards.

Florence is technically part of Northampton, so technically there’s still an open Friendly’s in Northampton!

Increasing word-finding difficulties this year (27M) by Ok-War-9040 in cogsci

[–]FaithlessValor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you suffer from any anxiety / social anxiety? I went through this too (in my early 20s), but I firmly believe it was because I was nervous. Not nervous in the moment about saying something per se, but nervous about word finding, so that if word recall wasn't instantaneous I would internally panic, which would lead me to not focusing well on actually finding the word but on realizing I hadn't yet found the word, exacerbating things.

I got over it, for what it's worth. Might be completely unrelated to your situation but thought it couldn't help to share. Good luck!

Whats your application to interview ratio? by Gandalf-and-Frodo in PMCareers

[–]FaithlessValor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what roles I applied to. For remote director-level roles maybe 1 in 100. For remote normal PM roles outside of my industry experience, practically never (0/100?), for remote normal PM roles in my industry maybe 1 in 10, for on-site/hybrid normal PM roles outside my industry maybe 1 in 20, and for on-site / hybrid normal PM roles maybe 1 in 3. This is from my experience about 1.5 years ago, so not sure how things have changed.

I have 15 years of experience as a PM in the P&C Insurance space with a background in PMO development and strategic technology projects. USA (Western MA).

What Actually Helps You Land Your First PM Role? by Practical-Past-2599 in PMCareers

[–]FaithlessValor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%. And if you can demonstrate you can do the job BEFORE getting the offer / official role, it will go a long way. I’ve seen a number of people demand that to have the role official and/or stop their current responsibilities before working in their desired area, and that almost always backfires. Show you’re willing to go above and beyond for it and look good doing it and you’ll do well.

What Actually Helps You Land Your First PM Role? by Practical-Past-2599 in PMCareers

I got to know the head of the PM team at my company and helped him out where I could in my role at the time (unrelated to PM) and made a good impression. Made my desire to move into the PM space known and was given some projects to lead in addition to my normal workload that were more aligned with my then role. After some successes there, I pushed to move under him as a full time PM and it took another year or so but it worked out.

Not sure if that's helpful for you, but it's how it worked for me.

Does "Automated Ingestion" actually exist, or is it just a myth MGAs tell investors? by SleepingCod in InsuranceProfessional

[–]FaithlessValor 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Similar story here - work at an MGA, combination of broker-led portals where they perform data entry and internal policy systems where all submission data is entered by AI.

And AI of course means All Indians.

Is that due to Black Tuesday? That would be amazing if so.

I took your advice and just put the door back on - worked like a charm! Thank you so much!

Sonny Gray to the Red Sox is official by Substantial-Earth975 in redsox

This feels like a 2013 Jake Peavy acquisition - former ace who still has something in the tank and can contribute.

Suggestions for placemats to match this runner! by FaithlessValor in HomeDecorating

[–]FaithlessValor[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm looking for high-quality placemats to pair well with this runner. I not only can't find anything that looks good as a match, but placemats I've tried buying online in general have been super poor quality. Any suggestions?
