I did after my first divorce but kept my maiden name in my second marriage. It is a hassle, but if it makes you happy it is sooooooo worth it!

Yeah! I’m considering remarrying and just don’t want to deal with it anymore. I wouldn’t change it again but I just want it to be back to my maiden name.

I know women who have and women who haven't. One person who did started to put her maiden name in her signature line at work as her middle name - i think she did for maybe almost a year. Then she dropped the ex's name - she was pretty senior and had published and was known by her married name, I think it was a good approach professionally. Another woman just pulled the band-aid, and when got congrats from people who assumed she got married, she just said quickly - thanks, but it was a divorce. Any mature person knows that ending a marriage is personal and stressful but by the time the papers are signed, it's okay to acknowledge divorce is also a milestone and often a relief. As an aside - I took a risk once and said congrats when a coworker said she had just signed the papers after two years of proceedings, and she was like, yeah man, it is congrats!

I like that approach, thanks for sharing!

Segmenting / database quality question —- we have 2 segments based on EE count : 21-100 and 101+. We use LinkedIn as source of truth.

Any idea how to search LI based on LinkedIn employees (with profiles) not the range or best way to prospect into this segment?

Hi folks,
I recently completed my technical interview with epam anywhere and I got selected in that. Now HR told me that I have one more project interview round which is also technical.

I really confused about this and why should I take another Technical round even after clearing 1.5 hrs technical round. Can anyone share details of it?

However, I do have a group of colleagues/friends that I’m close to and usually prefer to hang with them seperately. (cont. in comment)
