Was in the process for a VP FP&A role at a PE-backed company. HR mentioned they have two open reqs, VP and Sr Director, and hinted my comp number and age(might be reading into this one) might put me closer to the Sr Director band. Next I talk to the CFO.

Trying to figure out how hard to push for VP vs just seeing where the conversation goes. Anyone dealt with something like this? Don’t want to shoot myself in the foot either way.

Watching the World Cup and it keeps hitting me. The fan sections, the chants, the whole thing, stuff that’s been built up over generations. Birth rates are cratering almost everywhere and culture doesn’t survive without people to carry it. You lose the language, the food, the music. It just becomes a theme party or a museum exhibit.

I grew up going to Oktoberfest and St. Patrick’s Day stuff that was already a watered down version of something real. That’s where most of this ends up. Anyone else think about this?
