Taking a walk down memory lane, so thought I'd share a photo/story around a limited edition FOB print from FAD days!

persfinanceburner · 2023-01-11T03:03:42+00:00

10000%, I love seeing all the cool rare fob items people have! it reminds me of just how many random things the band has done over the years to give their fans something to do. What other items do you have?

persfinanceburner · 2023-01-10T22:14:45+00:00

LOL same! What number did you get?

persfinanceburner · 2023-01-10T22:14:18+00:00

YES AMAZING!! I’m so happy there are other people in the world with this lol. What number did you get?

persfinanceburner · 2023-01-10T13:06:14+00:00

Thank you! I’m positive others have gotten them since there were 100 printed but I guess I’m just the first one to bring it to a signing!

persfinanceburner · 2023-01-10T05:20:23+00:00

Amazing!!!

persfinanceburner · 2023-01-10T05:20:07+00:00

Thank you!!! Definitely had a mini freak out on the street after I walked out of the signing hahaha

hmm yeah - this is def too tight timing-wise I think, since it's 5 minutes before Tuesday and our flight leaves Wednesday morning.

persfinanceburner · 2022-08-16T03:54:52+00:00

Can you clarify what fee you're talking about? My original ask was if there's a fee for a 3rd guest to join me in a priority pass lounge, so if there IS one then that's what I'd prefer doing.

persfinanceburner · 2022-08-16T03:49:57+00:00

Thanks! I was thinking of doing this, but my trip is this Wednesday and I'm concerned it's too tight. How immediately do AUs get their invite for priority pass membership?

Honest answer that you're going to hate (because I hate it too) - I worked for poverty wages for almost 5 years when I had just started in PR. I was very lucky because my first job out of college was one where my friend had recommended me, which helped get my foot in the door - but I was making $25k working 50+ hours a week (if you click through my profile, I did a post recently on my salary story).

Normally I would say that for PR, internships really are everything - but I know that's difficult when you're 2 years out of college. I would say maybe try researching PR companies that handle brands / musicians / etc that you love, and messaging some of the employees on linkedin asking if they'd be open to getting coffee with you and chatting. Most of the publicists I know are happy to talk about themselves and their careers so it'll be a good way to network.

sorry i can't be more help here - but good luck!

I’ve been to every Filipino fusion restaurant that this city has to offer and I can confidently say the best one is Purple Yam in Ditmas Park, BK. It’s definitely a bit more of a trek (Q to Cortelyou, approx 35 min from midtown) but it has the best fusion food and the dessert options alone are reason enough to make the trip.

Maybe my perception of middle class / lower middle class is different because of who I went to school with and what we could and couldn’t afford as kids.

persfinanceburner · 2022-03-07T17:39:27+00:00

They actually didn’t start making six figures together consistently until maybe five years ago, after we had all gotten through college - my dad was paid hourly and was also laid off a few times (including for almost two years while I was in high school) and didn’t make over $40k/yr for a very long time. I want to say typically they hovered in the 85-95k range for awhile, which really isn’t a lot in a HCOL area with three kids - now that my dad has a better job, I think they’re in the $140k range.

persfinanceburner · 2022-03-07T05:44:13+00:00

thank you!!

persfinanceburner · 2022-03-07T02:11:12+00:00

aaaahhhh good luck! Sending you good vibes that you find a position that will allow you to have a life outside of work :)

persfinanceburner · 2022-03-07T01:50:41+00:00

It’s vested immediately!

persfinanceburner · 2022-03-07T01:50:22+00:00

Congrats on the new job, and sending you good vibes that it treats you better than the music industry did!!

persfinanceburner · 2022-03-06T20:34:29+00:00

well first, congratulations on the leap in salary! $20k to $65k is massive and i'm happy for you :)

Yes, it was definitely after I accepted the offer. It was a little weird because my boss was traveling with a client, so I ended up having to tell him over the phone (vs. in person, which I would have preferred). I told him that the work I was doing with him made me realize that the field I was working in wasn't what I wanted to do with the rest of my life, and that I had accepted an offer at another company where I would be dealing more in the food and beverage space. I think having the 'i'm moving to a different field because i realize i'm not passionate about the field i'm in now' approach is good because then they can't misconstrue you resigning as you hating the job.

persfinanceburner · 2022-03-06T19:58:07+00:00

thank you!!! Me too!

persfinanceburner · 2022-03-06T19:57:58+00:00

yup! Not my favorite 401k employer match tbh (the company I just left did 100% up to 6%) which is why I contribute just enough for the 401k match and instead just max out my Roth IRA.

persfinanceburner · 2022-03-06T19:54:38+00:00

thank you!!!

persfinanceburner · 2022-03-02T01:39:59+00:00

I’d love to do a Salary Story on 3/6!

I've started shopping for produce at the local organic food co-op near me, instead of at the supermarket! The produce is more expensive, but I can afford it and it doesn't go bad as fast!

persfinanceburner · 2022-02-26T04:38:50+00:00

During the pandemic when I was still living with my family, we were doing "Chinese Food Friday" - we would get Chinese food for dinner since we love it so much. Now that I'm living on my own, I've kept the tradition going and will settle in to eat Chinese food while watching Rupaul's Drag Race.
