I'm serving notice period in TCS and my last day is in 2 weeks. I requested for pickup of laptop in the portal but I came to know that it will take time for pickup and I won't be available if they come late. So I decided to go to office and surrender the laptop as I'm in the location of office only. Is there a seperate request to be raised for surrender of laptop and how to cancel the existing request for pickup. Please guide.Tata Consultancy

I am very interested in your SO (the one with net worth of $20M). How close are you two? Is your SO looking to explore other options, by any chance?
LOLOLOL

No, we didn't sign a prenup. Technically, half of his asset is mine, but I don't view it that way - I didn't ask any lawyer how it works either. We've been together for long and trust each other. His properties are still under his name.
congrats girl- you are living the dream!

If you don’t socialize with friends, what do you do for fun when you are not working?

I live in Southern California in a mixed asian area so lots of Spanish. Spotify has tons of foreign language music.
You sound very down to earth and like you know yourself 👍

I read your responses and you are very self assured and balanced. I understand what you mean about friends. I have some but in true definition not many. Its great you have a SO with a significant net worth yet you maintain your own independence. You are living the dream and doing the work to maintain it. Cheers to you!

I'm happy that youve handled it all so well. Kudos to you. 👍🏻

What investments are you in to net 2m? What’s the average 5 yr return? How much did you start with and how long did it take for you to get here?

PwC1 - Oh yea, I'm also grateful there's less rags than what I expected - thank you, but I heard you. In the original comment I made yesterday to another post, I said it did make me realize it is an ugly, unfair world - so easy to be richer when you're rich...
Why are you working? Are you planning on having kids or do you have any already?
Chief
We just got married this year, so we do plan to have kids. No kids yet.
I don't want to work for his family business, and I don't want to so called "manage foundation", and I absolutely don't want to stay at home. Don't want to be too dependent on his family.
My current job has great work life balance. I can do things I like, can have space and time to be a new mom if I can, and can still enjoy some career achievement without any pressure - perfect balance.

Also just noticed the way I said "limited to today only" may sound arrogant. It's only because I'll be traveling from tomorrow.

I get avoiding the toxic friends but have a solid support system outside of my spouse is absolutely a necessity for me! I hope you find someone who clicks well with you because the support of a good friend is unmatched!
How rich are your parents? What education do you have? How did you get to your job position and what is it exactly?
Chief
My parents are poor. My mom was a single mom and couldn't meet her ends. I graduated from a top 10 uni and have top MBA though. I'm just in some boring strategy job and got the job like anyone else - application..
How did y’all meet?
Chief
Uni. He's my classmates. We've been together since.
What’s your job?
Chief
My company is not a top tier one. If someone joins one of the top ones, they can pay $300-400K in the market. Some context: I'm based in California; I have MBA; I'm ~35 yo already. $200K is really not that high given those factors.
How did you meet you SO?
Chief
He was my classmate in uni
Is your lack of friends by choice or by circumstance?
Do you have siblings?
What do you do for social interaction?
I’m like you both OP and C1. I have one close friend, who I’ve known since hs. It’s work, but the key is we communicate our issues, we both hold each other accountable for our toxic behaviors, and neither of us are intentionally cruel like your friend.

Have you been to therapy?
Chief
I have.
Don't take my notes as I stay in my house and don't talk to anyone. I do meet people regularly haha. I'm actually going for a house warming party tonight. Different people have different definitions for friends I guess. I don't have those kinds of friends to travel together, go shopping, stay at each other's place. But of course I grab food with others, catch up over brunch, attend others' birthday parties, etc.
I view friends as a plus for life, not a must have for my life.

What is your motive behind sharing your NW/details on fishbowl?
Chief
I'm in corporate strategy. My SO is a regional general manager of a mid-sized company (not his own company), but I think he may transition to work in his family business a couple of years down the road.
If you had friends what would you want to do with them?
This sounds like a lot of fun. I’d be your friend
