Friend?
I'm torn. I have a friend who I've known for about 8 months. Unfortunately, I tend to only see her when her boyfriend is out of town or has plans. I've irritated, as I don't think anyone's life should revolve around a guy. My birthday is coming up and I've mentioned my party to her numerous times. His birthday is close to mine. His family is coming into town on his actual birthday, so she's now celebrating his birthday on the same night as my party. We're fairly new friends, so there's not a lot I can say, but I'm bummed. Should I be? While I really wish she could make it, maybe it's more about the fact that her decisions tend to be all about him.
Why do women do this? I think women tend to forget that friendships are important and it bothers me when friends disappear only to resurface again when they're single.
I would rather have a few friends than deal with friends who don't value each other. Thoughts?

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
