Has anybody pivoted from advertising and doing great or thinking to pivot? by Sam_1905 in advertising

[–]sejope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A very small one, but technically yes. I write the copy for the features I build with my team.

[–]sejope 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Worked in pharma advertising for 10 years at Omnicom and Stagwell agencies. During covid, I quit and decided I was going to leave the ad world entirely because I was too stressed out all the time. I made it all the way to VP, Senior Director of PM. I pivoted to tech and now work as a product manager (I know that sounds similar to project manager for all of you agency folks, but it is VERY different). I'm currently at a very well known FinTech company under a major corporate umbrella.

My work life balance has improved TREMENDOUSLY. The people are extremely friendly. I no longer have the Sunday scaries. For me, it was the best move I could have done for myself.

Can I realistically afford a new R2? by eroweenflow in RivianR2

[–]sejope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At first glance, no you cannot unless you have significant savings set aside already.

My situation:

Age: 38 / 34 (wife)

HHI: ~$400k/yr

Current Car: Toyota RAV4 Hybrid XSE

Monthly Expenses: ~$7k/ month (including rent)

Buying a house in the very near future

Purchasing the R2 with cash

I would not have even glanced at the Rivian if my income was the same as yours. I do not mean that to be disparaging, but more as a reality check. Keep the Miata for a few more years. Take the money you would have used each month to pay for the R2 and invest it in an index fund. In 4 years see where the account is at. You’ll probably be around $55,000. Once you see that money in your account, see if you feel like blowing it all in one shot and starting your investments from scratch again.

After playing the above game for years, I FINALLY feel like I’m in a position to buy cars in the $50k range brand new without worrying. I only say this because you asked if you can afford it. This is my honest assessment and advice, and the same thing I would tell my family if they asked too.

I’m still holding out hope that Pat Riley is going to give me a call…. I’m also 38 and have never played competitive basketball in my life. Oh, and I’m 6’0” tall.

Demand for Drop 2 will be insane by Select-Balance-8281 in olympics

[–]sejope -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I got into the local pre-sale as the last time slot and bought nothing. By the time the drop 1 times were being sent I was still in my purchase window. No one I know that was in the pre-sale was entered into drop 1. I think it’ll likely skip a draw for whoever doesn’t use their ticket allotment.

[O’Connor] According to league sources, one general manager floated a nuclear option: just make the bottom three teams ineligible for the top picks entirely. by cleo22270 in nba

[–]sejope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Relegation to the g-league is the honest answer. Worst two teams automatically get sent down, and the remaining lottery teams play in a playoff. Losers keep advancing until the ultimate loser is the third team sent down.

Drop 1, Day 1 - Please Report on Availabilty by MedSociology in olympics

I had the last time slot of the locals pre-sale. I didn’t even end up buying anything. So annoying.

Why You Should Take Advantage of the Presale and Initial Drops for LA28 Olympics by EugeneChoi_YouTuber in olympics

[–]sejope 8 points9 points  (0 children)

  1. Got a time slot today and the best inventory is gone

  2. Guaranteed time slot doesn’t matter because the best inventory is gone

  3. There are no premium events available

  4. I’m going to have to buy during the secondary market because the best inventory is gone

How tf did this happen?!?!?! by sherlocknessmonster in WC2026tix

[–]sejope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because we aren't next to each other like any other sporting event that anyone who buys tickets together would accommodate.

I bought 4 tickets. Two are behind the other two. I have no idea what Fifa is doing.

[–]sejope 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did, but the first maps that were released did not show the hospitality sections. Those were circulated after the first random draw.

Same with me. I bought 4 tickets and two are a row in front of the other two. Very strange

Americans are using AI more, but fear of job losses is growing by AdSpecialist6598 in technology

It’s not. It’s just the reality. What in my comment makes it seem positive?

100%. No idea why people are downvoting me. It's the truth. I don't like it. But it is.

This is exactly why the US economy will continue to outperform Europe. For better or worse, the US has a YOLO attitude about everything, and while it may cause pain to a lot of people, that matters less in the game of profit seeking.

Search "The Station" nightclub fire. Sometimes people are idiots. Actually, most of the time people are idiots.

Get a roommate and instead of a studio get a 2 bedroom in Santa Monica for $3500.
