Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

  • My whole job search is just refreshing job boards and firing off applications into the void, competing with hundreds of strangers for whatever happens to be posted
  • We’ve just shaken hands on something we both accepted, but I have this nagging sense the deal isn’t as good as it could be for either of us
  • They happily agreed to the little thing, so I figured the bigger ask was in the bag
  • If I’m honest, I would never sign up for this job (or this routine, this arrangement) if it were put in front of me fresh today
  • After grinding through this thing for weeks they finally put a solid offer in front of me, and instead of being glad I’m fuming that they didn’t just lead with it
