1st year anniversary is coming up! Any ideas what to give to boyfriend? In the past, I’ve given him Lululemon clothing, Bose speaker, a framed drawing of us, and Away luggage. He already has an Apple watch and AirPods Pro so can’t give those..

Are you his sugar mama? Those are very nice gifts for <1 year together. If you keep this up, you’ll have to buy him a Range Rover for the 5 year

Lol it’s an inside joke that I’m his sugar mama, but I also call him my sugar daddy. I’d like to think we’re equal as he does a lot for me. He gifted something that I told him I liked at the beginning of our relationship, just remembering it is enough for me. It’d be nice if I can get the Range Rover tho 😛

I’m more cautious too but feel good about renting Airbnb’s where you get the whole house (actually quite cheap in some places). If you have your own car that’s preferable but getting a rental isn’t bad either. Driving is better than flying obviously. And remote places with a lot of natural beauty are great for being romantic + also socially distanced

Maybe not something material?? You can build him a playlist, have a nice picnic over sunset, do breakfast in bed, etc.

Feeling very frustrated and discouraged. I’ve been looking for a new job since May and just get nothing but rejections or no responses. I work for a real estate firm as a Marketing Media Manager but really I’m just a glorified graphic designer/content creator/social media manager. I create all content (print and digital) for over 150 real estate agents with our firm. I have a portfolio for my work but I don’t know what else to do.

Additional Posts in Women In Consulting

So I’m late to the Indian Matchmaking series. Is it the guy who has to be wealthy and the women who need to come from wealth? There doesn’t seem to be a lot of emphasis on what the women do for a living, but the men all seem either well-off or getting called losers. Is that what people look for in real life too? So there’s no place for women on the come up to be with someone above their own social class?

Hi ladies! An old chestnut but would still love to hear your advice: i am fairly certain a key senior stakeholder is being difficult because he perceives me as a senior non white woman trying to boss him around. I have heard that he doesn’t like to surround himself with people cleverer than him in fear of them taking over his job, which to me further confirms this is a possibility. What can/should I do? TIA!

I’m not sure if this happens to you, I’m constantly intimidated and feel judged by white men and women and/or people born in the US for having a strong foreign accent in the US. Nobody says that to my face, but I can see it in people’s actions. This has severely affected my confidence and I focus more on the way I pronounce some words rather than the content. How do I battle this situation? Would definitely like both perspectives.
