5 months. It took 5 months for doggo to turn into a clingy baby. I cannot be in a different room from her or she whines. Anyone else having this problem? We’ve had her since she was a puppy (6 yrs) crate trained, and quarantine has just made her attached to my hip 😂😫

Looking for emotional support after been laid off and second baby is on the way.

Need advice. Have some credit card debt that I’ve been working to pay off. Have made progress but want to lower it quickly. We have dual income, with a house (~$300k in equity), 1 kid and 1 on the way. I’ve looked into debt consolidation via HELOC but also have ~$80k in vested equity in my company that I haven’t touched. Get equity refreshes every year. Would it be smarter to cash out $15k-$20k of that to pay debt vs. a HELOC at ~5% given that will still require mthly payments

I’m 29, female, is it still a good time to move from audit to FDD? Probably having kid in the next two years.

Misled on Maternity Leave Policy. I found out I only get 4 weeks pay for maternity leave (STD +“sick days”). I will take 12 weeks but wont get paid for 8 weeks. I work for a US, west coast based company in the tech/VC industry. Their website claims to offer “paid parental leave and other progressive benefits for parents”. I didn’t find out until after I was hired their pay was only 8 weeks but since I have been at the company less than 12 months, I don’t qualify for their policy. Is this unfair?

How common are leaves of absence in PA? I’ve never seen someone out of work longer than a couple weeks other than for parent leave, but people on fishbowl talk about it as something you can reasonably ask for.

Getting about $2200 back from Federal and $1300 back from NY State. Claimed 2 for both last year and having 2nd kid this year. Should I bump to 3 or keep as is?

Has anyone set up an NY 529 for their kids? Know there’s a 10k tax exemption for NY state taxes, but does anyone know if that per child, or across all children?

I work in a self contained classroom. A parent of one of my kids wants to come and volunteer after learning all my staff quit. Can I allow her to do this? Admin has no idea and I'm not sure with FERPA laws.. advice, suggestions? What can I have her do if she can come?

Anyone else disgusted with the blatant dog whistle of Oz (a child of immigrants) “not being from around here”?

Do you fly out to family for the holidays or do they come to you? We're hosting Christmas for the first time and having the entire family come to town for it. What are some can't miss holiday events in the city? Ideally accessible because my father is in a wheelchair.

Has anyone made the transition from non-profit and small firm practice to federal government, big law, in-house? I’m a special education parent attorney at a small firm and I’ve spent my legal career in the education and juvenile areas of the law working for 2 non-profits before ending up at the firm. However, I’m just exhausted, unmotivated, and and looking for a change. At this point (6.5 yrs of practice), is that type of transition even possible or am I stuck due to the practice area?

What all vaccinations are you suposed to give your kid?

Fly day horror story...screaming child 😩

Just venting. College friend (same ethnicity but came to US with family as a kid) told me she might get a new job offer w a smaller firm, 50% pay bump. We currently work at comparable big firms but her pay is already higher than mine (hers include stocks, mine doesn’t). We did equally well in college & I know I’m just as smart. Can’t help but feel like my career’d have been much better if I did not need sponsorship. Smaller firms don’t sponsor so I work at a big firm but pay isn’t great 🙄

we had our first ultrasound this afternoon and saw our little gummy bear and his fast beating heart for the first time. I am so amazed 😍😍😍

“I got a baby in my belly!!” 😅💕🐾

Anyone aware about wfo policy for expecting mother's?

Anyone who’s taken the Google Analytics cert program, how long did it take you to complete? Was it worth it?

I'm planning to purchase a home in the next 1-2 years as a first home buyer. My parents are currently refinancing their home and because they are close to retirement and have a smaller income, I'm planning to take out the mortgage under my name (won't be listed as the property owner). Would I still be able to get the benefits of being a first home buyer when that time comes? Or will the mortgage disqualify me? I recognize this isa unique situation, so it's been hard to find a clear answer online

Left the Lost Dog Tavern in Buckhead with a college buddy, and less than five minutes later saw APD respond for a shooting right where we had just been.

He immediately texted his girlfriend that Atlanta residencies were out 😬

How is EY Pune Marisoft office ?

Weird times, but hey, is anyone hiring? Would love to get conversations going at least.

How is nob hill near Sutter and Leavenworth? Looks really close to tenderloin...

Got an offer from MBB and they want me to start before summer 2021, is it possible to push it to later in the year like after Christmas 2021? I would come in the same level as me previous firm, so pretty much ignoring my past experience, not sure if that matters

A $1T valuation is fine, but Tim Cook should be fired for the value loss that came from actually producing products, being famously boring and not losing his mind on social media.

Can working remote hinder career development for young professionals? I am weighing my offers and I am leaning towards on-site to build relationships and seek out mentors. Thoughts?

Lots of companies who have that ONE guy who manages the legacy system are sh!ting their pants that the 'hit by a bus' scenerio is about to go down.

What is the fastest way to sponsor a pup?

You’re given 5 minutes where your dog can speak/understand English. What would you say to him/her?

Folks who use dog walkers - how much do you pay & what’s your city? What’s a fair price?

Hey guys it’s my first freezing winter, if I’m going to take my dog out when it’s under 27 do you she needs to wear something on the paws? If yes than what?

Anyone have a recommendation for stinky dog breath? Clean bill of health, “perfect teeth” according to the vet. Pup gets VetriScience powder for dental health and still - it reeks.

I’ve heard of water supplements but not sure if they help. Admittedly, could be better about brushing his teeth.

I love dogs. The answer to this bowl is always: me.

Any favorite recommendations for training videos (tricks, etc)? Given that we’re in the deep freeze for another week or two, I’m inclined to train more these days than do long walks.

Doggies Daycare...yay or nay?

Getting a golden retriever puppy soon. Live in Brooklyn high rise- is it safe to take him to right outside the front door to potty and wipe his paws? He’ll be 8 weeks old when I get him
