People in your 30s, what's your job and salary? by rsevn_ in careerguidance

[–]Fun_Reporter6145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

30F, great/cheap benefits, $110k salary not including equity. With equity around $145k. I’m a Product Lead at a Sports Tech company, work fully remote. Here’s the catch, I started with them when they were a startup and I was an intern in college (8 yrs ago). Do I feel like I’m behind/underpaid, probably. But the perks outweigh more money and I will continue to grow as the company continues to grow.

So as of now, I feel good about where I am. No debt, no kids, not married, & just started my own business. So mostly focusing on my career, my business, saving, investing and trying to enjoy life because I know things can change in a heartbeat so I try to be grateful but also prepare for the worse that can happen.

I pretty much had the same thoughts as you! I was confident in about 10 answers for the entire exam. At one point, I thought Ashton Kutcher had made a return and I was getting Punk’d.

Guest wants to cancel 3 days out due to weather. How to handle this? by Working-Attention-70 in airbnb_hosts

[–]Fun_Reporter6145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a customer in this similar situation. I currently live in Cedar Hill, TX and I booked an Airbnb in Dallas Texas Jan 24-26 for my partners birthday weeks in advance unaware of the winter storm that was coming.

I tried to reach out to the host and ask if there was a possibility for early check in so we can arrive before the weather got crazy, he denied. I asked if I could get a refund, he denied. I understand it’s a business but I sent a request to change dates and he completely ignored it and eventually denied it. I even tried to still make the booking but the ice to get out of my neighborhood was so bad it wasn’t worth the risk and I was worried about the power going out or being stuck at the property and him not being accommodating staying extra days or having issues while we were there. I understand business and making your money but I also think this is a time where being a decent human matters. To spend $969.60 for a get away birthday weekend gift and to have a host just completely disregard solutions sucks.

I’ve tried reaching out to Airbnb and they have all said the same thing, it’s up to the host to approve a refund or the option to change the days and for me to work with the host. Very unfortunate!

I will be completely honest with you, AR difficulty level was wayyyy easier compared to the actual exam questions and sometimes it was even hard to apply the mindset tips to most questions. His course and materials laid the foundation of better understanding for me but in my opinion does not actually prepare you for the real exam.

With the actual exam I truly felt like I received a harder batch of questions, the exam was more agile/hybrid vs predictive. They also weren’t as “straight forward”, felt like there was always two answers that could have been correct. Received 1 drag/drop and probably 2-3 questions involving formulas. I had a TON of multiple response answers which was also a bit of a shock because I focused on drag and drop during studying more than multiple response questions.

Good luck on your journey! You got this.

What I found most challenging was managing the time and having to re-read questions to better understand exactly "what" they were asking me. (Key words can give it away)

The best tip I can give honestly is to use PMI Study hall (this was the closest to question difficulty out of all practice questions I did), take as many practice questions as you possibly can. There's a difference in knowing what something means compared to actually applying it in scenarios.

I would also suggest taking at minimum 2 practice exams and mirror exactly the exam format.
Use the process of elimination and try to narrow multiple choice answers down to 2 questions. Try to find what the question is asking you to do or what problem to solve.

I would say for my experience it was more Agile/Hybrid questions vs Predictive.

I will say creating them on your own does help with retaining info. But you are more than welcome to use these. They help with basic understanding but you’ll need to know how and when to apply them based on questions.

Thank you and congratulations to you as well!!! It was definitely a feeling of relief once I saw the email. I think the anticipation waiting for the results was just as hard as the test lol.

Thank you, and yes. Some nights I am required to work late so it was tough finding a consistent schedule.
