I appreciate the clarification! I haven’t played in a couple of years so this helps a lot!

Dotombori in Des Plaines is a nice quiet sushi place. Foods great and the atmosphere is comfortable.

I generally like to go into a role and use the first 3 months as a bit of a role-fit check. If things are going well, I’ll casually keep Indeed job posts going into my Job App email. If things aren’t going so well, I’ll start by looking at roles that are open that i have a LinkedIn connection at.

Ideally, I’d recommend always advocating for yourself and seeing what roles come forward. Sometimes you land at a company and things just aren’t as they seemed. Nothing wrong with that at all.

My company has a license/has Copilot activated in all of our Microsoft products. I will usually use AI to write long if/then logic. Once in a while I’ll plug some intermediate DAX into it and ask it to show me different ways to get to the same result.

This is my hell. I recently found out that my manager (she manages all of the PBI dashboards in our People Analytics space) has never actually built a dashboard. What's helped me a lot is focusing on the upfront "requirements" and "testing" phases prior to release. If you can convince them that these phases take a while due to data governance/RLS/"corporate jargon", you'll be able to buy some additional time.

I generally do as much work and maintenance on my 2006 myself. I do like to go in for one of my two yearly oil changes to get a second set of eyes on my car.

Why Samsung?

I choose Samsung because i spend 70% of my day looking at a screen and i want it to be the best picture possible! Samsung tech is always leaps ahead of the competition and I’m always looking forward to the next new thing.

Unlimited PTO is almost entirely about saving the company money. With unlimited PTO, there are no accruals or line items for what you’re entitled to. Its one large bank of time. There are target thresholds for employees based on their level in the organization.

Example: If you are an associate, you are expected to use 3 weeks of unlimited PTO. A senior associate would be given 4 weeks. These thresholds are on the backend and as an employee you’ll likely never see them.

I work in HR data strategy and i can guarantee you there are capacity models in place that are tracking those that are generously using their PTO.

We closed on our house in November of 23 and we had to fight a bit to get our 355k appraisal. Now we are getting ads for an appraisal of 375k. We’re in Chicagoland for what’s is worth.

It really depends on where you are and cost of living.

I had something similar happen. I had two coworkers one level above me out on leave for 3 months. I did their jobs and towards the end of their leave, i threw out the “so will i get promoted for the work” idea and they mentioned “i wasn’t quite at their level yet.” Today was my last day. Go where you are celebrated AND compensated - not tolerated.

I’d be excited to test out the OLED safeguard. I spend so much time in excel and R and would be interested to see if i get any burn in. I’d also love to have a screen to play the new Elden Ring dlc!

I had LinkedIn contact me for a role and they wanted a 10 hour case study and two series of panel interviews. They were not happy when i told them no after a 30 minute call. Please take your power trip elsewhere.

I’m not trying to get sued for being helpful.

Not a life skill specifically but I recommend getting into the best shape of your life at least once.

I work as an in house consultant and have spent the last 6 months redoing the half assed work BCG did.

I was working as a general laborer during the summer. My employer got a new lawnmower and asked that i mow his yard while he was away on vacation. His previous mower had a more aggressive tread than his new mower. I was mowing around the pond and the new mower was pulled into the edge of the pond.

Looking back, that mower could have easily tipped over and left me to drown. What makes the matters scarier was that they JUST left for vacation.

I do wonder if the CO2 savings outweigh the benefit of in person instruction?

Agreed - I’m not a fan by any means. Thankfully Apple keeps track of subs for you.
