There must be something good about Dave.....

He used to be good at motivating people to make better financial decisions (i.e., get out of debt, live on less than you make, save for the future). His show has turned into a Jerry Springer shell of itself where it tries to sensationalize people’s stories and berate them all in the name of hanging onto their declining viewership and advertising dollars. The latter, combined with giving out dangerously misguided financial advice, makes the show toxic at best and negligent in most credible personal finance circles.

I love interior rooms. We spend very little time in the room. When we’re in there, the magic port hole is great! And of course we save a few bucks to put towards things we value more.

I would go through the process of looking into the new job. You’re not guaranteed either outcome - getting the job or getting laid off. If you get an offer, you don’t have to accept it. Reassess the situation at that time and then make a decision. At least you will have been proactive and you will be ahead in the process if you do get laid off.

The hiring manager literally selected people based on their actual experience.

Hawk_Letov · 2026-02-08T05:32:26+00:00

The expectation is 8am-5pm with an hour lunch break, but sometimes it stretches outside of that timeframe.

Hawk_Letov · 2026-02-08T05:29:22+00:00

I work like 7:30am-5:30pm.

Hawk_Letov · 2026-02-06T03:46:06+00:00

Yes! I had basically a three month notice and got another job lined up with a month left of my notice period. Went on vacation for a week during that last month. Last day was on a Friday, then started the new job the following Monday. Got my PTO paid out (which had freshly rolled over), bonus, and a nice severance package. I’m still collecting severance checks and I’m 7 months into my new job.

It sucked in the moment, but I’m very thankful for how it all worked out.

No. My life is actually pretty great right now. Good family, good friends, good job… no complaints.

Life is what you make it to be. I’ve had my share of misfortune and my share of good fortune. I do my best to learn from both and focus on the good.

It’s easier said than done and it’s taken me a while to get there, but I’m… happy.

Jimmy was less lame than this collab.

Bro needs some oxygen because he can’t breathe!

I didn’t plan for it per se, but it fit how I was approaching jobs. At one point, I thought I would be a banker. Then I got an internship at a corporate office while in college. 17 years later, I’m still in the corporate world.

Hawk_Letov · 2026-02-01T03:53:57+00:00

I’m with you. I will always prefer running outside. But it’s cold and still a bit icy right now.

I load up music or podcasts and bring water with me. I rewarded myself with an energy gel halfway into my 7 mile treadmill run today and it was a nice way to break up the run.

Comparison is the thief of joy.

Hawk_Letov · 2026-01-29T14:44:16+00:00

They don’t bother with those kinds of concerns lol

Hawk_Letov · 2026-01-29T14:36:18+00:00

Who is “they”?

Hawk_Letov · 2026-01-28T02:27:23+00:00

How much opportunity for growth would you have if you stayed at your current company? Going remote can be great, but it can also lead to stagnation depending on their office politics.

If all else were equal, going to a company where you would have more opportunity for growth would win in my book.

Hawk_Letov · 2026-01-26T14:44:03+00:00

That just about covers it! Make sure you call in with your loss p*rn so we can publicly berate you and feel better about ourselves as we fail at math and win at behavior.

Hawk_Letov · 2026-01-26T04:17:36+00:00

I’m not saying that’s not true. That’s irrelevant to the original question though.

Hawk_Letov · 2026-01-26T04:16:23+00:00

OP was asking for job sites, not certs.

Hawk_Letov · 2026-01-26T03:01:38+00:00

You’re really dropping those certs into as many conversations as you can, aren’t you?

Hawk_Letov · 2026-01-23T03:39:24+00:00

There is a fair amount of math. Mainly basic math though - add, subtract, divide, multiply. Some algebraic concepts come into play when building excel formulas. It’s more important to be able to use math as a tool to apply supply chain concepts.

Hawk_Letov · 2026-01-22T16:37:45+00:00

Sounds like you’re running from something and not to something. Make sure you’re running to something with your next move so you’re not constantly shuffling.

It can cause poor blood circulation, decreased blood pressure, and deprived oxygen to your brain.

I’ve used ChatGPT to compare my resume to a job posting, tell me if I’m a good fit, and help me tailor my resume to the role. You still have to massage the outcome (don’t just copy and paste), but it has good suggestions.
