A student came to my room a couple days ago and told me that he and his girlfriend broke up. He said "I'll be okay with this, but she & her friends are telling other boys to fight me today". After a few minutes of talking, I convinced him to go with me to student services to file an affidavit. We talked to the Dean so she was also aware of the situation. How to deal with the ache in my heart about kids getting picked on? I cannot imagine having to go to school and worry about getting best up.

Any consulting moms in the area? Desperately in need of in town friends.

My mom has been sick for nearly a week now (fever, fatigue, nausea) but isn't able to get help or tested because she doesn't have respriatory symptoms...yet. Our numbers are definitely underreported.

I just started a new job and am about to be 36. I want to start a family but I feel like I should be waiting due to this new job. However I don’t want to miss out. I’m thinking about freezing my eggs

My worldview changed a bit when I told my 71 year old mother I just started stitch fix and she responds, “isn’t it great, I’ve been using it for a year now.” Huh, my mom is an earlier adopter than me

if someone joined EY gds within how many days he/she can add their dependents???

Anyone have situational depression? Can’t stop beating myself up over a decision a year ago. Basically missed out on a massive amount of money. I know this seems trite and i never even cared thatt much about money before this year.

So many other good things happened to me this year - got married, got a puppy, moved etc, and yet the one thing i keep returning to is this decision as though i ruined my life. Ironically the only thing ruining my life is my outlook and yet i just can’t stop.

I went through my gf’s phone and found out she had a crush on my best friend when we first started dating (over a year ago). I suspected this at first but it hurts to have it confirmed and see her telling her friends about him. I’m not sure how I should feel since I went out of line to look through her phone.

Any recommendations for books for desi parents ? Politics , economics, world order , self help

Any books that you found very helpful to read as expecting parents? We’re just nine weeks along, but would love to start preparing however we can!

My husband repeatedly claims domestic abuse falsely, and it’s getting too much. Now that I have kids he has started saying this to them and they say it back to me. I think he does this because he wants custody of kids or an upper hand when it comes to finances if we end up divorcing. Any ideas on how to handle this

How to overcome a breakup. I'm heartbroken 😭

Daycare recommendation in Ashburn for a 2 year old?

I want to give a Christmas gift to the manager of the gym I go to. She’s awesome and I just really appreciate her. I can’t think of any ideas though! Can anybody think any good ones? I do not know much about her personal life except that she’s a single mother.

Any recos on great childcare in New York (ideally west village / Chelsea / Greenwich / soho)?

My partner of 5 years ended our relationship last night. I’m shattered and feel absolutely sick, and I know the healing isn’t going to be easy. We were on the verge of an engagement and I was ready to spend the rest of my life with him.

I don’t know how to approach work during this time. I think I can get by, but I’m definitely not 100%. Should I talk to my boss about it? My team is close-knit and comfortable around each other, but I don’t know if it’s “appropriate.” What would you do?

Ok ok plot twist: he’ll propose to Madison and she’ll say NO! Cause she realized how different they truly are... then he goes after Hannah cause his mom told him she was an angel sent from above 😂 🤦🏻‍♀️

I used to be so devoted to my academics that I kind of forgot to make some close friends. How do you reignite your social life after college?

Alright it’s been 21 days of no contact. Fastest and longest few weeks since lockdown 😞 I know it’s not an exact science but I’m curious on the statistics…who’s heard from their ex after a breakup and how long after?

Any tips for hard launching partners on social media? For context, I’ve (Indian American female) been dating my white American boyfriend for 3 years and we just got engaged after two years of convincing my parents. They are very happy and excited now, but I’m scared shitless about being ostracized / judged by my extended family and Indian community in the US once I “let the cat out of the bag” on the engagement news. I want to be proud and confident about this but could use some moral support.

I just got my client divorced from a truly horrible person who abused her and her children and she got everything she wanted and the kids are doing great and only one hasn't been successfully discharged from therapy and I'm just so proud of her and feel so lucky that I got to do a little to help her along the way

Hello All,
Any EY GDS PMO here?

Just received my first offer today for an SDR role and I’m trying to grind to the top of these tech sales positions. I’m in Atlanta and my OTE is 60,000. Where should I be looking to get near the 6 figure range starting out? I graduated from the University of Michigan Business school and I have two years 2 tech experience, if that helps. Thank you!

Sometimes I feel like I am a drone that just works all the time and I have no friends.

My wife often calls me by 5:45/6 to ask where I am if I’m not headed home yet. Sometimes she’s stressed with kids/dogs/dinner and really wants me home. This really throws off my concentration because it makes me feel rushed. Like many practices sometimes I’m out at 5:30, other times it’s much later. Just depends and is unpredictable. Any advice on how to approach this?

Question to those who passed CPA Tests, could you please share study tips? I think I am spending way too much time on making notes, should I rather do more MCQs and just keep reading....

Anyone at ZS willing to chat about a SIPA role? A recruiter reached out to me.

How do you calculate your years of experience? Curious-if I include roles outside of my current dept I have 8. If only counting production, 3. How does that impact your salary negotiations?

Anyone have experience or example of brands who have in housed media buying in Ireland? Looking at 2021 budgets and can’t help but think the media agency value add is quite limited (considering fees and rebates etc) when compared to one or two junior hires well managed who would be always on the account... am I crazy?

In 2023 I'm wanting to help make my management more effective. So, I'm looking for a book or a couple of books to gift my team this holiday season. I would like books that focus on communication and taking ownership. Any recommendations?

How often do scopes change? I thought it was normally on an annual basis with some exceptions but my CD is telling me they change constantly. Someone educate me…

Dear All Fisbowls,

I have a query. Request all of yours suggestion and if you have done something similar to this please share.

You have resigned and have offer in hand suppose 15 fixed.
Meanwhile you get another offer but they will give around 17 fixed.
I am thinking to quote my in hand offer as 17 fixed with changes in it and share it with them.
So that they can give me around 20 fixed.
Request to share honest detail here.

Anyone here works for Johnson Controls? I have heard mixed reviews about the company. Not sure if I should make the jump based on what I’ve heard so far. For context, I am looking at a security account executive role.
