The stress of life already getting to me. My carefree days are behind me.

I don't wanna wake up at 50 second guessing decisions I made now

This life ain't no joke :damn:

Seem to be more ahead of the curve than most 24 year olds for sure. Keep it up.
Yeah at 24 I was working in a mail room posting on Sohh lol.

I might have just shot myself in the foot on a phone screen. I talked too long about experience not relevant to the position. I knew I was doing it but I was already balls deep :snoop:. I'm not tripping though, I might shoot him an email with more detail about it later today.

Why do you need to "prep" me for an interview that one, you don't know what they require from a technical perspective and two, I've talked to 3 people on the phone already? I don't need a pep talk and therefore decline to speak with you before my in-person interview. I'll call you when it's done.

Seems like you've said enough. Thank them for the interview and keep it moving. Don't worry yourself too much about it.

I already sent it :yeshrug:. I have nothing to lose either way. I have a promotion lined up in a couple months and probably another role within the company even sooner. Only thing is this company is probably gonna go public soon, the pay will probably be leaps and bounds above what I'll be making here, and he described some legit shyt they're working on, so I wouldn't mind a change :mjgrin:

Accidentally had my google sheet titled "2019 Job Spreadsheet" on a tab when I hooked up my computer to the presentation :damn:

The tab wasn't open and you couldn't see any thing but still

Luckily it was just me and another colleague and I don't think he'd be snitching to my manager.

Still though, just blown my cover :snoop:

:snoop:I know breh. But again, this is my colleague, I don't see him snitching but it still isn't a good look.

I'll just gonna keep it pushing.
:yeshrug: a couple of my peers know I'm looking to get up outta there. Theres no gain for them to tell our boss. All that can happen is they fire me :skip:.

This. Our company is in a hiring freeze. If they give me the boot then the work is gonna fall on him.

He gonna start pulling them 12 hours days I was pulling last quarter.

Backed out of the job interview. I dind't like how the recruiting company was operating, plus I got a lot of shyt on my plate and I need to settle myself. It was only $5k more a year anyway, so no need to do the most for all that. I'm getting this applied data analytics cert in July, so I'm thinking I should wait anyway and I could probably get more.

I know man :snoop:. This was on my Google Sheet. It's just where I log progress on my job search (application deadline, status, etc). I should have changed the name to "2019 Projects" or "Project Log" etc, something non-descript.

I have an offer on the table. It's not what I was expecting for the position, so it's time to negotiate.
