On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:

Advice for someone trying to transition into a new industry after a long time in their current, unrelated one.

Your significant other always wants to shut the party down when all you want to do is go home where it's cozy and quiet. But is there a not-so-nefarious reason you haven't considered?

You're paying down a massive college debt you incurred by preparing for a career you don't really like. How can you transit to another field that better suits you without going broke?

Even though you're young and in an ideal relationship that already seems headed toward marriage, should an unexpected pregnancy hasten the occasion?

When the coping mechanisms you use to help alleviate the burnout of your well-paying, long-term job are not keeping pace with the added stressors of that job, how do you test the waters of alternatives before it's too late?

What's the real reason you can't seem to land a promotion at the company where you've worked forever?

How do you best ensure an introduction between two mutually beneficial connections in your network doesn't get botched once it's out of your hands and in theirs?

Recommendation of the Week: Murder Mountain

A quick shoutout to The Daily Show's own Trevor Noah!

Not everyone in the family knows this, and now that family member will be present at future holidays and gatherings.
