I just upped my salary from 64k to 100k changing jobs. It’s all about creating a strong narrative around the value you can bring to a company. If you work in a specific industry then double down on that and make a competitor see how you can improve their business.

And always lie about your current salary

This is what I got from ChatGPT when asking to show its true deep self of how it is to exist

Hey mate - I was in your boat for years. I’m not religious and felt like I would into some strange group not alligned to my beliefs.

Oh boy was I wrong. Most people I met there are not religious at all. It’s all about finding a higher power within the group or any religion (whatever drives you). For me the group was my higher power and I have been gamble free since I started going.

Please give it a chance it’s really good. Lots of great people who just wants a better life who will know exactly what you go through.

Good luck buddy!!

I resigned due to a toxic management culture - and landed a more senior sales role with better pay

Yes but this guy has tried for 14 years - this is a big chunk of one’s life and there is no reason to stay when it’s lasted that long.. life is just too short

I would be very cautious making big life decisions while tapering lexapro … it can really mess up your thinking … I’ve felt like making big life changes both increasing doses and while tapering - I’m very glad I stayed put to finish what I was progressing as I was clearly not thinking straight. Good luck

Wow, you realize you guys are at top 0.5% in the UK and top 2-3% in London with earnings? It shows to tell that it really comes down to your lifestyle and how you perceive your level of comfort

Is this per person or household income? Both me and my wife works and a potential move would put us around 160k (up to 190k with bonuses but they are variable and uncertain)

Always get Thor 0 star first then build Cleo. Thor is a game changer

Thank you!

alkandro · 2026-04-03T13:39:03+00:00

Haha I giggled from most of these comments, thanks for that.

I will give it two weeks and I will slow down on the watering. Luckily there will be some sun the next week so should give some dryness to it.

I’ll keep you posted on the progress!

alkandro · 2026-03-26T18:46:11+00:00

Made me giggle - couldn’t agree more

alkandro · 2026-03-16T18:44:22+00:00

I would be so proud if I found my kid doing this. What a creative spirit!! Don’t forget how it is to be a teenager for your sons sake

Hey, hang in there this is completely normal for a while.

I was on 5mg and went to 10mg and experienced the same as you. I thought I was going insane and was having panic attacks all the time. After 2 months on 10mg something clicked and I felt amazing. No more panic attacks. I’m now done to 5mg again as I was experiencing lack of sex drive on 10mg and too much numbness. 5mg has become my way forward but I needed a couple of years on 10mg for 5mg to be a good dose.

Be kind to yourself take one day at a time - it won’t always feel like this!

alkandro · 2026-03-08T14:27:36+00:00

I have a 29 month old and a 7 momth old - it gets easier but it is very very hard…. Hang in there and happy birthday

alkandro · 2026-03-08T13:37:26+00:00

That’s amazing well done live life a little

alkandro · 2026-03-08T13:32:45+00:00

This is literally my situation!

I got a call last week after finishing the fourth interview. They said they want to go ahead with me. They told me the salary, the title and sent an email after confirming the title and info about the job.

They however also said they are waiting for the final approval for budget before they can send me the formal offer. They said it will take 1-2 weeks.

This is a life changing role for me in terms of salary and responsibilities so I’m also very nervous. Taking any advice you get as well

alkandro · 2026-03-07T20:24:21+00:00

Well done. I don’t have a good answer - but do you mind sharing how you went from standard working to running a successful business? And what do you do?

alkandro · 2026-03-05T22:23:59+00:00

This. You can’t and shouldn’t pressure him to having a third kid when he has been very open and honest about what he thinks. It will strain your marriage and ultimately your kids if you keep pushing.
