    @TatianaTMac 100% agree on the stress of applying for jobs. Doubly so if you are in a position where you absolutely need a job immediately. The power balance in those scenarios definitely puts you at a disadvantage when it comes to interviewing and negotiation.

      @TatianaTMac I’ve been there. The one and only (thankfully) time I’ve gotten fired was quite literally two days before we closed on our first house. I was in shambles and had a really hard time asserting my worth in interviews as I quite desperately needed the income.

        @TatianaTMac I can only begin to imagine the additional stress felt by folks who are already structurally disadvantaged when they are going through that process.
