I am leading projects and teams I shouldn’t be leading based on my experience level (i.e. I am working above my entry-level band). On top of that, I don’t really find…

Am I doing alright with my current 401k? I work for a cooperative and our 401k match is, as I understand it, pretty great. I give 6% of my earnings each check, and they give a 4% base and a 6% match. I started here in March or 2020 as the Pandemic hit and I’m now at $20,000 in my account. I make 53k right now, with hopes of getting to 60k within a short period via promotion. Over my t…

Editing software starting to slow on current PC… suggest an upgrade? Hopefully it’s OK to post this here, it does relate to the photography but from an editing / equipment POV. I’m finding my desktop PC is getting increasingly slow when dealing with photo editing software (PhotoLab, Lightroom, Photoshop). It’s built around an older CPU (Xeon E3-1231 v3) which was quite a tank in its day but I’m starting to wonde…

I graduated May 2022 with my Bachelor’s Degree and was fortunate enough to secure a full-time job with a small, private firm the previous month.

Signed an offer letter for a new job, quit my current job, then had the new offer rescinded 1 week prior to starting. Eligible for unemployment or not? Shitty situation… apparently the new company somehow just realized they didn’t have the budget. Looks like I may be able to get 1-2 months severance from them, but am still waiting on the details. As I start up my job search, would I be eligible to collect unemployment in the meantime? I was guessing no, but am not sure submitted by /u/…

How do I properly set up a new brand so I can use the same business address as the current brand I already sell? – Is it worth adding it as a DBA to my current LLC?

Anyone know of a Website that allows me to make custom emails with my current squarespace domain? But not google workspace? Squarespace and google workspace are apparently tied at the hip… but at my expense it will be $108 per each email address.
