Am I just always on edge or do other people also freak the fuck out and assume the worst when laying in bed and planes flying over sound insanely louder and closer than they are

Looking for opinions/advice. SO and I have been together 5 years, both 25. I feel like I just started adulthood and have no clue what I’m doing and am not ready for this, but she is dying to be engaged and sends me rings and dresses even when I’ve asked so many times if we could just take a break from it for a little. We are in separate cities for NYE and she just posted a pic with her left hand out and a ring on it and caption was “can’t wait for what’s coming in 2022”. I feel so much pressure

Has anyone read “How to Avoid a Climate Disaster” by Bill Gates yet?

The work-life balance sucked this year as everyone is forcing to go back to offices. I'm really contemplating on going freelance but I've not heard many freelancing Project Managers, is this rare? Is this a niche, do I need to have a portfolio of clients? (Looking to avoid work drama and seeing if it's worth it before calling on stress leave?)

How do account directors differ from sales executives?

Officially down 40 pounds!!!🎉🎉

Another 10-15 to go, but needed to share my excitement. 😁

So I have a tricky situation and need some advice. Long story short, one of my best friends was offered a role that I personally really like. She was promised Director level and when offer came through it was manager, so she declined and was pretty salty about it. Is it awkward if I apply for the role? How should I approach it with my friend?

Anyone in the clinical lab space want to connect and briefly discuss potential ways we could collaborate

When you thought someone actually wanted you to succeed and the person tells you your doing good and then craps on you in their reviews. Is that normal or am I mistaken? I thought we were a team.

Thinking of leaving PwC.... and had some questions. Do they pay out your vacation time and if.you.go to another B4 and they say "no thanks" when you give.your two weeks, do they lay that out as well?

Any US based Big 4 employees ever do a secondment to your offshore team’s country (e.g. India or Philippines) or is that not common? If so, care to share your experience??

EY = cutting corners yet again?

Sharing Becker w a friend and it seems to kick one of us out when logging at the same time. Is there a workaround?

Which B4 has the strongest Tax practice along with technology, WNT, research, etc.? I know office dependent but it seems like PwC and EY tend to touted as the strongest with KPMG and Deloitte after. Not saying other 2 are not strong but this seems to be the consensus. Thoughts?
