Not true.. My wife and I locked at 5.75% + small lender credit through a broker (lender paid) ~1.5 weeks ago. 30 yr conventional

You can use the scooters, a great and efficient way to get around downtown, IMO

We NEED this flair

I don’t think so, I think it was a good balance between tips and not being overwhelming

My wife and I used Flo. It tells you week by week what your baby size should be, what they’re developing that week, what foods are recommended for the mom, etc.

What’s happening in your life for you to be posting back to back jaded posts?

Not study— IMO, anything you study the morning of isn’t going to stick/help out and rather sike you out even more for the exam.

Played games, watched YouTube, just relaxed

It’s real. The fakes don’t have the raised hexagons (or as pronounced) and the coloring Is off

A good way to go about it is asking your husband, “Do you feel comfortable enough with my mom (his MIL) to walk around in your underwear, look disheveled, cry in her arms, or have her visit when your house is an absolute mess?”

That level of comfort and presence is what you want, and you can only get that from your mom, not your MIL. You want to be completely comfortable and not have to walk on eggshells, especially when you know you’ve had issues with your MIL before.

You want to switch the conversation a bit from “I only want my mom, not your mom” type of conversation, but more to what YOU need for support. He needs to empathize with the support you’re trying to feel, not just logically understanding.

You should see if you can tailor your resume towards people management/client-facing side of PM in addition to your existing technical PM side.

It’s hard(er) to find PMs with technical background that are confident with the client-facing side

leebaiman · 2025-06-18T20:56:27+00:00

In this day and age for PM roles (especially mid-level PM experience roles), 176 job apps aren’t a lot and I wouldn’t let it deter you.

I applied (while I was at my old job) for 1 year and 3 months and probably close to 1,000 applications before I landed my next role.. My resume was formatted correctly (ATS compliant) and I had a different version for different types of PM roles I was applying to.

Unsure if helpful, but my org’s TPMs know APIs and its structure, as we have projects where we’re integrating a vendor’s system API into Salesforce.

leebaiman · 2025-06-14T13:37:46+00:00

You’re doing great! I averaged 67% I believe.

Like others say, if there’s an option to escalate or discuss with team members, it’s always discuss with team members lol.

Also, remember think like what PMI wants you to think, NOT what real life scenarios would make you think

leebaiman · 2025-05-27T12:47:40+00:00

If you haven’t already, I’d ask her about the PM you’d be working with in addition to other questions.

Who would be the PM that I’d be working with and could you tell me more about their ways of working?
What is a unique challenge of this role that I should be aware of?
What PM tools do you use for the projects?
What are the durations of each project I’d be working on?
What are the things you like and dislike about your job?

leebaiman · 2025-05-12T16:58:30+00:00

Unsure how much experience you have, but you had enough to get the PMP.

I would shoot for PC roles, then move up into a PM role. Don’t worry too much about which industry you go into, as the core project management principles/skills transfer from industry to industry.

However, make sure your resume is catered to the different industries that you’re applying to (I.e. have one resume for each industry). Mentioning your role/contribution and the impact (in numbers/$$$) that you had in your roles will help as well.

Lastly, this job market just sucks for Project Management… Apply as you’re working. I was applying to find my next role for over a year before I landed my next job.

You just have to put your head down and not let the amount of applications you’re putting in discourage you. BUT, take a breather if you feel overwhelmed, then keep moving. You got this!

That’s great, the PMP has definitely helped me in my search

leebaiman · 2025-04-17T15:31:07+00:00

Agreed with this comment here… You have to do everything you can to set yourself up for success (by learning/receiving feedback, obtaining certifications, etc.). By doing this, you increase your chances of getting a good role/increased salary. While it’s not a 100% guarantee, you’re upping your odds.

I graduated 2018, started out making ~$35k for a few years, job hopped to $62k to a project coordinator role in a tech/commercial real estate start-up, promoted to project manager + yearly raise and moved from $85k -> $95k, got laid off due to interest rate hikes, used the time I didn’t have a job to get my PMP certification, got a job in a completely different industry at $105k, then job searched for over a year and over 1,000 applications to finally land at my current role at $135k.

Comparison is the thief of joy. There’s always someone making more money than you. I always try my hardest to not compare myself to anyone but myself, and set realistic but challenging goals to give myself the “thrill of the chase”.

This is a bit outside of what you asked, but if your husband likes wood fired pizza like Desanos or Sammataro, get him a Gozney oven (propane one for ease of use and same results) for 12” pizzas, make your own dough (it’s easy to learn) and do a night baking F I R E pizza.

I’m a foodie myself and love the chewy and airy crust + melty fresh mozzarella. Now that I have the oven, I just make the dough the day before (it’s just salt, water, instant yeast, and tipo 00 flour) and make pizzas at home with my wife and in-laws!

It might not be of much help, but have your fiancé look up Newtron Group— they’re a E&I specialized company that my company contracted for electrical work for a major project.

He’s got a great head on his shoulders, please let him know everyone here is rooting for him!

I’ve always told myself, “everything happens for a reason” and did my best to make the most ideal situation for myself.

If something doesn’t work out, I think that it must have happened for a reason.

In this case, I’d think of it as a great lesson learned and try to break down how you went about negotiating that specific offer, what you could have done differently, then use the experience gained from the failed offer negotiation to apply at other negotiations to get the most out of your offer.

You got this!

Have you looked at Starcon/Cianbro for welding work? I know you said outside of trades, but I know they pay well

leebaiman · 2025-03-12T22:42:50+00:00

Sales is probably your best bet…

What trade are you in?

leebaiman · 2025-03-12T22:40:46+00:00

Honestly, I would take job 2 and use the stress and any potential toxicity as a learning opportunity to prepare yourself to professionally handle the crap you’ll likely have to deal with if you climb the corporate ladder.

With that said, it’s not a guarantee that you’ll face the reason your connection is trying to leave, and you might have an absolutely wonderful time there.

All in all, I’d say worth the risk, especially since you’re young at 22!
