I wouldn’t consider it strange/awkward, as I am also a 26 year-old (female) virgin. Who cares what other people think as long as you’re okay with yourself.

Can I ask why were you in a relationship for so long without getting to that level of intimacy—religion? Holding out for marriage?

Nope. And if anyone ever tries to make you feel like it is strange, you should know to walk away from that relationship (friend or SO).

In my 20s (I'm F) I slept with two men, 29 and 31, a couple of years apart from each other who were virgins. They had informed me, it wasn't weird, it went fine. I felt kind of honored, actually, to be able to be a part of that for them.

It’s only weird if you go around telling people. No need for people to know

You’ve surely done everything else haven’t you? Then it’s just a technicality.

I think you asking the question in the first place begs the question. I’m not judging but there has to be a justifiable reason why. Whether you like it or not it can be a big disadvantage but I wouldn’t know for sure because I’m not in your position. But my friend have sex! It is delicious and nasty and intense I promise you you’ll love it!

One caution - for me I had more desire and enjoyment in my early 20's than I do now. You might only have a year or 2 more window to have really really good experiences before your body starts betraying you. But I'm not the healthiest person so you might do better

So I have been seeing a guy for 4 months. We have a pay disparity.. he earns less than I do (by quite a bit). He has mentioned a few times that he’s worried I’ll get bored of him when I know he can’t afford the same things I can. I think we are beginning to move past this, but now he’s starting to mention things like ‘I am really broke this month’, and last weekend he told me his mum has lost her job and he’ll have to probably pay her rent. I have a lot of sympathy for his situation … tbc

2d year lit associate at Amlaw 100 here.

Could someone elaborate on the truism that most people in my position won't be at the firm after a few years?

If I do good work, am well liked, and don't lateral or leave myself, what sort of things might cause me to be shown the door? If the reason is partnership, when do I/those around me start truly deciding whether or not I'm partner track?

Noting that I like my firm a lot--what's the expected outcome here?

Thanks!

Hey everyone - I could do with some advice. Not sure what I am doing wrong, but I am having a hard time getting interview calls. I am trying to pivot from consulting to the industry and targeting project/program management roles. I have been doing this work for 7+ years now (total YOE 12 years) so certainly have the right skillset. I have tried a couple of referrals too but that didn’t help either. Any advice you guys could provide would be helpful. Thanks!

I recommended a candidate for hire to a manager that reports directly to me. This person is a perfect match, but wanted the manager to obviously recommend. It has to be a fit. The manager just told me my recommendation is not her top pick. I feel frustrated because as much as we talk about the position, I wonder if we are mot aligned on criteria. What do I do? Do I push more for the person I want or will I cause an issue with the hiring manager? How do I get her to see this person’s value?

i am incredibly livid at the way my firm laid me off, claiming it was performance based when i know it was bc of some unrelated conversation about wanting to broaden my professional bandwidth. I had great reviews.. and those whose performances were below mine, have been promoted. I’ve had to hold my tongue, swallow my pride during my final call and play dumb even though i wanted to call them out on their bs. Trying to get over this but i hate feeling powerless and undermined
