A mate of mine is a senior manager at a massive international company at 26 so he's obviously doing really well for himself. Earns around \~$200k but he gets worked pretty hard. Work basically starts at 8am, 3 days in the office minimum, stays till around 6pm and sometimes has to keep working after coming home.

Now, I'm in a very different situation. I earn $85k and barely work (accounting). Maybe around 3 hours a day and I do all my work, boss is happy with my performance. I want to move up and earn more money but at the same time, I don't want work to be my life. Is it possible to move up and stay in a 9-5? Is that impossible? Most people I know on $150k+ have some heavy hours.

A friend of mine is single and she was talking about her most recent first date. They were having a few drinks, everything was good and then he said that the ending of Game of Thrones was actually not as bad as everyone says. He said it was a decent ending, it could've been better but it wasn't the catastrophe that everyone said it was.

She absolutely despised the ending (GOT was her fav show till then) and so she couldn't believe this difference of a opinion. She told me that what he said was a red flag and basically mentally crossed him out after that. The crazy part is she said they had a great time together apart from that but because of that opinion, she isn't seeing him again. He ticked off every single other box and she would've seem him again if not for that.

I guess it's an unpopular opinion on GOT but... red flag? Weren't they for abusers/criminals and such? Or absurd political views that might have a carry-over effect into your own life? I feel like people have never been faster to dismiss a potential partner.
