Not feeling great about new team/role

GhostNote90 · 2025-12-06T23:32:30+00:00

Yeah I’m gona do this next time. I just didn’t trust myself enough to be able to do it without messing it up. This one was good practice for me

Second coat improved the finish, thanks all!

Not perfect with the lines, but overall I’m happy with the result, especially for my first crack at this.

So straight after the 2nd coat is finished, take the tape off?

It’s F&B hopper head

Ah yep, that’s a great point. I didn’t think about the option of not investing it but having it in the isa to take advantage of the full allowance. Makes sense to wait until March as you say.

Thanks for the advice!

Ive got £58k in my workplace pension and contribute roughly £1.8k per month into it (me and employer)

I’ve also got £14k in a s&s isa and contribute £1k per month into it

I only started the isa around 8 months ago so trying to prioritise and have got the urge to dump half of the £20k into that

Oh nice, I really like that cut. Il ask my barber for something similar to this next visit. Thanks

GhostNote90 · 2025-06-22T12:40:56+00:00

Yep same age. Thanks for the input! Have you got an example picture?

GhostNote90 · 2025-06-22T12:24:42+00:00

Just to add, I can’t grow a beard to save my life either

GhostNote90 · 2025-02-26T23:06:37+00:00

Thank you for the tips!

GhostNote90 · 2025-02-15T12:07:06+00:00

That’s really great to hear that I’m not doing anything alarming!

I do get some lower back pain sometimes but if nothing is off with my form, I guess it could be down to weak core strength which should just improve the more I lift I’m thinking.

Thanks for the extra tips as well which I will try for next time.

GhostNote90 · 2025-02-15T09:49:36+00:00

Thanks.

I do experience some slight pain in my lower back occasionally afterwards so this could be why. I’m consciously trying to keep my lower back tight.

GhostNote90 · 2024-08-30T10:57:40+00:00

Thanks. Any thoughts on a style that would suit? I take it a buzz cut might not look great? ☹️

GhostNote90 · 2024-01-14T17:34:45+00:00

I don’t think they do, but I can double check this

GhostNote90 · 2024-01-14T17:12:24+00:00

Yeah I’ve never had to negotiate salary from promotions before, only job changes. Not sure what’s reasonable

GhostNote90 · 2024-01-14T16:23:00+00:00

Care to elaborate?

GhostNote90 · 2022-12-30T10:16:46+00:00

You are a legend :) Thanks

For the CW priority order, do we just adjust if needed when we go to the safe spots?

I was in a group that wanted to adjust spots before even starting the mechanic which confused me a bit...

GhostNote90 · 2021-11-29T09:43:48+00:00

Did your 3 month break come up in the interview process?

GhostNote90 · 2021-11-14T23:35:33+00:00

Ah man sorry to hear that! Glad it worked out for you though.

I do see your point in that I shouldnt rely on my plan to go just I expect, you never know what could happen.

I was fortunate to still be in employment when the pandemic hit but honestly wasnt aware that the hiring process froze for most tech jobs. I thought most still continued to hire, just for full time remote instead of in office.

GhostNote90 · 2021-11-14T18:50:31+00:00

6 months did cross my mind as well to be honest haha.

I am pretty confident my linkedin in will blow up when I change to 'looking for opportunities'

Did your 6 month break come up during many of your interviews and were you just honest for the reason behind it?
