It seems like the question you're posing is: in the context of colon cancer risk, if one's alcohol consumption isn't enough to reach the category of "moderate", does that mean the increased risk is zero (or insignificant)? I don't know the answer to that. That's something that could perhaps be determined by reviewing the literature.

Edit: Not that anyone cares, but I guess I'll say a bit more: I don't know what brand of kombucha OP drinks, or how much of it, and how many grams of alcohol that sums up to, and what the current body of research says (or doesn't) regarding the precise amount of risk incurred or not from that amount of alcohol ... but the fact is, there's extensive research on the association between alcohol and cancer and I stand by the suggestions that someone dealing with recurrent colon cancer should be cautious about alcohol consumption, and that it could be worth reviewing existing research on the matter.

Start gathering contact info now for everyone you might want to stay in touch with. This is especially important if you work remotely, because if you get laid off, they might immediately kick you out of your email, slack, etc., and then it will be too late.

Is there such a thing as 'red flags' on a linkedin profile that might be hurting me? I don't get any pings at all from linkedin, and I have a fairly complete profile.

Which magazines would your wife recommend? Would be interesting to know what others find worth subscribing to (out of the many, many that one could subscribe to).

Thank you for this suggestion!

What sort of cardio activity would you recommend for these short intervals?

agreed. can someone explain what this role is? seems to pay extremely well for a 'junior' role.

fta: "The national average salary for this role is $144,752 and job listings for these roles have grown 278% over the past year."

i agree with above comment. there are fields where multiple masters might help, but not in tech.

degrees are for getting the HR recruiter person to like your resume enough that they pass it on to the hiring manager. period. that's it. 1 bachelors, 1 masters, you're done.

the only possible argument for another masters is if you plan to do it at at a place like MIT or Stanford, which is a strong signal on a resume.

edit: and/or, you likely plan to remove your first master's from your resume upon completion of the second (in which case you really value the education the second master's would give you). that said, i cannot speak to visa-related issues so my comments might not apply in such cases.

a phd in physics can land you a job on a quant team at a bank or hedge fund or prop trading firm. another option could be "data scientist" roles (in a tech company or other industry). 'machine learning' roles also heavily favor someone with masters/phd.

for banks/hedge funds/etc roles, look at the book "Capital Markets for Quantitative Professionals" to get up to speed on background knowledge.

it seems like "tech lead" is a position with responsibility but no real authority, a sort-of middle manager. i'm sure the books are good, but the thing I'd want help with is how to achieve a balance between ensuring the team is delivering good work (in a technical sense) while making sure the people above you on the food chain - those with actual power - are kept happy.
