Learning, building, mentoring, living.
Hay años que invitan a celebrar en grande. La adrenalina de organizar algo entretenido aumenta. Piensas con antelación en el tema, la comida, el lugar, las bebidas. Piensas en la lista de personas que invitar al evento: a los amigos cercanos, a los lejanos, a los familiares que permite la geografía, a los amigos de... Continue Reading →
I cannot conceive of time if I do not consider my energy levels while doing so. In fact, I follow time mostly because it helps me be in sync with the world around me, which is something I enjoy and need. As Oliver Burkeman puts it in his book Four Thousand Weeks (bold are mine):... Continue Reading →
For a while now I had wanted to give a try to these writing prompts. In the longest day of the year, as the bright sky and the heat insist on not letting me get to sleep, I stop worrying over my morning running plans, and decide that at the very least I can get... Continue Reading →
I have been quiet on this end for practical reasons. I was first busy and I was then trying to figure out what I can share since I now work at a publicly traded company and it is a learning process for me to decide what to say and what to keep to myself and... Continue Reading →

Between September 28 and December 22, 2022 I have been actively searching for a job. In this period I have moved 27 companies through my pipeline. 19 of those have been outbound (I initiated the conversation) 8 have been inbound (they reached out) Of these: 9 companies did not reply back (15+ days) 6 companies...
