What lesson will you take from 2020?
Hi FGB community!
I'm writing an article exploring what lessons women can take from 2020 and how they will use them in 2021, I'd love your help!
What is one lesson you've learned this last year and how will you use it to make for a better 2021?
If I use your comment, your name will appear in the article (or you can choose to remain anonymous!)
I'll start - one lesson I learned in 2020 is my optimism is greater than any life event going on around me. I will use this information to set better boundaries around negative people and energy sappers in 2021.
Thank you in advance! Can't wait to hear your answers!

Must be that time again to talk about GHOSTING by recruiters
In the past month, I had 3 recruiters reach out to me and we had excellent conversations. They were so excited about my experience, they even responded to my thank you emails. Now-crickets. These are recruiters on staff with the organizations they represent. Anyone care to offer insight into this behavior?

A dream role position has landed on my plate while I’m not feeling my very best due to a health issue .
I’m okay 65-70% percent of time but lately it’s been flaring . I don’t want to lose the opportunity and feel I should at least try and do my best . im praying to god , to help me land this job only if its meant to be as im afraid my health “might “ affect my performance . I’m currently still going through the interview process . Would like some feedback from some mid -senior level professionals . Has anyone been in this situation before ?

Opinion on secondment
I've been in my company for 9 months .
The perfect secondment opportunity came up .
My manager said to meet the secondment manager.
However, my meeting didn't go well.
I asked all the relevant questions but the secondment manager was very negative in her responses and I felt bad vibes.
The role was perfect and exactly what Ive been dreaming of .
But every question I'd ask she would be negative and say x person is tough x team will write bad reviews.
I didn't know if this was to check how i'd behave so I just twisted it positively and say how I'd adapt and help her with these challenges.
I rejected the opportunity but don't know if it's the right decision.
How do you determine if the secondment is right for you

How long should you stay in a position or company? Do you think there is a standard time?
Curious to know others thoughts on this topic. I've been hearing 2-5 years. I think there are multiple factors that determines the time such as security, money, toxic space, they love the role or company, it's not your career goal, they're bored etc
