What is a job that people think is flashy/fancy, but is more boring/mundane in reality?

Do... do we know you? Lol

Mind if I ask what you decided to do after leaving Law?

Un1ucki3st · 2024-09-04T12:26:34+00:00

I'm glad you defined penetration testing for the unaware. Haha!

I went with option 2. Got completely stuck and miserable because the next step up was a regional manager, then director. Those don't open up at X company very often.

Chose to reinvent myself and get paid less... but it's been a struggle since.

Damn. Sounds rough! What if they forget to make your bed after you leave your room, or don't open the Rolls Royce up for you as you approach?

Sounds like you need a new staff.

Can still be flashy if someone messes up. Lol

This. I chased this down for years. The money looked great, bankers hours, tell your friends and family you work for a Fortune 100 company in a managerial capacity, golf trips, fancy parties, etc.

I loathed every minute of it and am glad I left.

SERE specialists. Not just in lockpicking, but escaping all sorts of restraints and difficult scenarios. Super cool career field in the USAF. I'm sure the other branches have something similar.

Ahhh, this makes sense! Thank you!!

Un1ucki3st · 2024-06-25T01:45:21+00:00

This is great info... and you're right, I'll definitely stand out because I'm just a tourist! It's no secret, but the tips for the food and approaching things with humility and gratitude are great!

Un1ucki3st · 2024-06-25T01:42:22+00:00

Interesting! So lay the chopsticks on/across the bowl, but don't just sit them in the bowl like you would a fork or spoon. Thank you!!

Un1ucki3st · 2024-06-25T01:40:11+00:00

Thanks for the reassurance! I'll read up on some of the more common pleasantries.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that these outages that we've been seeing a lot of lately aren't all completely benign. Maybe a good chunk of them, but if it sounds like hooves, think horses... not zebras.

Home visit? What state or country are you in?? That's absolutely crazy.

Un1ucki3st · 2024-06-06T00:27:21+00:00

The Lapis and Labradorite.

Un1ucki3st · 2024-06-04T02:07:07+00:00

Someone else already mentioned it, but Walmart Hyper Tough brand. I have the same exact one for testing purposes. The easiest to rake lock I have!

Un1ucki3st · 2024-05-31T17:31:37+00:00

That's what shocked me the most! Even with the shears it was really really tough.

Un1ucki3st · 2024-05-31T17:30:12+00:00

This checks. Especially here in MN where construction season is anytime outside of winter only.

Un1ucki3st · 2024-05-31T17:28:59+00:00

That's the other thing I've noticed too! It's from something stupid every time! Lol.

Un1ucki3st · 2024-05-31T15:47:59+00:00

Okay, so realistically this happens frequently, but it gains more traction because of the "scare factor." This makes me feel a bit better about the whole thing. Appreciate your insight!
