Do you write “2Q” or “Q2” for second quarter?

Hi Everyone, I have been having trouble finding a new job (10 months and counting) as a Project Manager despite my extensive experience in the financial industry, I don't want to speculate on the reasons, but now I'm getting to the point of applying for jobs at Walmart or Costco so I can pay my bills more easily, I'm fine with this because work is work but I can't help but think that there may be other options for work that I'm just not considering, or not know about. Any thoughts? Thanks

I’m curious if anyone has ever turned down a job because the interview process felt chaotic or disrespectful. It seems like a preview of what the culture might be like. Have you ever walked away because of the process?

I’ve been thinking about whether “career growth” always needs to mean climbing higher, or if sometimes it just means finding a role that fits your life better. That mindset feels healthier to me. How do you define career progress now?

What are the first 5 things you should do when you get put on a PIP? Just learned about it this morning. I didn't see it coming. Planning on working on the resume later, but I'm spiraling a bit right now.

Currently booking summer travel for the family, and it hit me… my parents would’ve never been able to afford vacations like this growing up. It made me wonder: when was the moment you realized, ‘Wow… I finally made it’?

Q2. There is no other way lol
Q2 unless I also add the year (i.e., “2Q25”).

Q2. I don’t think I have ever seen 2Q before lol.
I hadn’t until this boss. And they’re the only one on the team of 13 who writes it that way lol
2Q is psychopathic behavior. Never seen that lol
I don’t disagree lol but it made me wonder how common the usage is
2Q. There is no other way lol
Q2 - This is the way.
whichever way the dingbat head of the dept likes it. and yes, it will change every so often as new people take charge.
if anyone write to me 2Q I will just ignore that communication. but if they did write 2nd Quarter then I may respond
Q2.
Fascinating responses so far! My boss writes 2Q and he’s the only one I’ve ever seen do it that way.
Q2... what is 2Q 😅
Q2. I don’t recall seeing 2Q anywhere.
Anyone writing 2Q should be shot.

I always include the year, so I do “2Q24” for example, is this wrong?? How would you include the year writing it Q2 without separating it out. it just seems less efficient
