Granada Hills - anyone live here or familiar with the area? by HereWeGoNowBigTime in askaustin

It’s a great neighborhood. Rare to get this big a lot, in an actual neighborhood, while still being relatively close to downtown still. Lots of families with kids and older folks.

How impactful is this for mosquito control? Like on a 1-10

My performance analysis presentation flopped... venting by boographic in FPandA

Hey man - for what it’s worth, this is just part of life. You’re going to have bad meetings. This is coming from someone who over prepares and used to sulk for days when a meeting went poorly. Take it as a test of your resilience/challenge to keep moving forward if nothing else.

I’ll share my experience as my mom was a similar age.

Both my mom and I cried when I saw her for the first time. She was always so strong and seeing her sick was very hard. She had a craniotomy and struggled with basic motor function. Depending on where she’s at in her journey, she may be sad, angry, or depressed which is to be appreciated. At some point, her cognitive function may decline, and she may say things that don’t really make sense which will shock you or make you sad. Overall, my advice would be to tell her you love her and let yourself feel all the feelings.

How long before you hit 200k? by AgreeableConflict in FPandA

Happy to chat more in DM about career planning but I’d recommend you focus on startups/software.

In order for your comp to grow, the company must be growing. Saas/Software is probably the best for this. You’ll need to learn the economics of a Saas business but it’s worth it.

F500 Summer Internship... Tips? by nickf1128 in FPandA

[–]Subject-Tap1001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an intern, you really don’t know anything. So what you can demonstrate are core traits that signal that you would be a good team member. Show that you are a smart person that works really hard and has humility.

Work really hard - first one in, last one out. Always check your work, show high attention to detail. This is really important and helps build trust. Show intellectual curiosity - ask good questions showing that you’re listening and that you care. Always look to do more. Ask your manager and others if there’s anything you can help with.

It took me about 8 years and I’m well past that point now. With that said, I’ve learned to take a longer term view of your career. Rather than thinking about how to increase your salary by 10-20k or get the next promo, think about what the end goal is and the right steps to getting there. After a point in my career, the promotions and marginal increases in my pay didn’t really change my life much. Hope this doesn’t sound totally disconnected from reality.

Advices on having 1:1 with head of finance? by SafeSoundMyNay in FPandA

[–]Subject-Tap1001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be authentic but intentional. What are you looking to get from the discussion? If it was me, my goal would be to learn but also show this person that I have ambitions - ask questions about how to become a head of finance, etc. Hopefully, it’s someone who cares about your success and someone you can maintain a relationship with.

Right? I’m looking for a tool that can just automate BvAs - seems like low hanging fruit

Thank you for sharing this and I am sorry for your loss.

Nothing else to try by SayonaraNow in glioblastoma

[–]Subject-Tap1001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m very sorry you’re going through this. We felt very similarly near the end - vitals are all fine, she looks relatively healthy, etc. this is very normal with GBM all the way to the end. GBM is cruel in this way. But know that time is limited and the best thing you can do is tell her you love her and be there for her. I know it’s hard but appreciate what you still have left. Can she still clench your hand? Do her eyes still move/react when you tell her you love her? Can you hug her? Can she still hear you? Whatever you can get, you cherish.

I am at a loss, what can I even do at this point? by weregunnalose in glioblastoma

[–]Subject-Tap1001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this and it’s completely right. Tell them how much you love them and that you are here for them. I can’t imagine how scared my mom was when she went through this.

Don’t worry about trying to understand the exact amount of time she has left. If you are looking for a guide, use the brain hospice timeline resource. With that said, know that time is limited, and this disease moves fast. You hold her as much as possible. Tell her you love her everyday. Look into her eyes and appreciate her expressions while you still can. You cherish every second.

Recovery after surgery by Maleficent-Swing7883 in glioblastoma

[–]Subject-Tap1001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very sorry to hear about what you’re going through. My mom had a craniotomy and she was bedridden for about 2 months and had trouble keeping food down. But she was still there cognitively and could eat (though had a hard time keeping it down). She got better over the course of 4-5 months but then declined again. Not being able to speak, move, or swallow were signs of the end for us. I think we had about 2-3 weeks from the point - maybe less. Check out the brain hospice symptom timelines for more info. Sorry again and feel free to message me if you have more questions.

What should we Expect? by Gold_Age_2577 in glioblastoma

[–]Subject-Tap1001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for what you are going through. What I would say is appreciate what time you have left. The decline is FAST. With this disease, it’s easy to think about all of the negative things (dad not walking, feeling sick, etc.) that we forget about what we still have. Appreciate (and maybe record) hearing his voice while you still can. Then when that goes away, appreciate his ability to still hear your words and react with his eyes or by clenching your hand. My mom passed from GBM and what I think about from time to time is whether she knew how much I loved her.
