My base location is Gitanjali Park, and project deputes location is Infospace (Candor). In card collection mail it was told to ask HR for approval regarding entry from main gate entry.

My father is an accredited investor and invests in private companies. I said I’d give him $50k for one of the investments but technically it’s all in his name. 3x return. Any way to touch that money without double taxation (expecting to pay his highest tax bracket on the returns since shorter than 1 year and then gift tax above $30k)? Thinking about asking him to put it in a separate bank account in his name linked to my credit card - but still likely too much money to burn through.

Turns out, I am really bored. Lack of travel, and in person meetings coupled with not so interesting problems, is frustrating me.

What do you all do to keep things exciting on a weekly basis? For context, I am married with 1 toddler, so going out and partying until late is not an option.

Is boredom non-negotiable at this point in life?

I am meeting my mom for the first time after 3 years post pandemic and going to pick her up from SFO airport. Her flight lands around 6 am PST. This is my first time where I will be driving from Sunnyvale to SFO airport and back (30 miles each) and want to avoid FasTrak/Express lanes as I don't want to pay so much money. 1. Does the Google maps 'Avoid tolls' option work in this case? 2. Any tips/tricks on driving such long distances? 3. What documents should I carry with me?

Leaders, Could you share your thoughts, that you are willing and able to share, regarding:

3. What are the views of your teams re: willingness / eagerness to travel?

Is it unethical as realtors working in an office to block chunks of time off for personal reasons? Some of my coworkers stay in their desks for up to 10 hours, but I've taken up the habit of blocking at least 1 hour daily for lunch, breaks, and other issues that may arise. Do you do this as well or do you prefer to work straight through your day?

I’m an analyst at a small(ish) REPE firm. We’re looking to unroll a pretty comprehensive Multifamily strategy and I’m tasked with hammering it out internally. Part of this is choosing a RE consulting firm to engage. We’re looking for people to gather a lot of data on various markets and create various economic reports. Also other data as needed to make a slide deck. Anybody have recommendations/personal experience at a consulting firm with Multifamily practice?

What happened to BCG’s expense policy today?

I'm thinking about switching districts and grade levels after over a decade. I'm feeling stale and wonder if a move will be good. The new position would require summer trainings for the next few years to teach high school AP classes, but hopefully be more rewarding. I'm still anxious. New school, no professional status... What would you do?

Halfway through my first CAT test and I can’t do the data sufficiency at all - the questions are so hard. I don’t feel like this is something I’ll be able to be good at.. is this normal or should I take the GRE instead?

Well ladies today I turn 30 I keep getting emotional not because I’m getting older but I’m just so grateful for people and experiences I had in my 20s. I’m also someone who stressed a lot about work and my career in my 20s. Now I still want to do a good job, but I don’t care as much. Did you have any realization when you hit 30? :)

Ladies, have a beach trip planned in August and realized my period is scheduled for that week. I’ve tried skipping the week of sugar pills before and going straight to the next pack, but that resulted in a week of spotting. Could I stop taking BC for a few weeks (not sexually active), and then start it up again right when I’m headed to the beach?

Edit: What is the best way to tell a PM or a PEP that this project isn't for you, and that it doesn't align with your career goals without getting kicked off too soon to negatively impact your utilization? The project is ABSOLUTELY horrendous and a mess. It is glorified admin work which is not what I want to do. Is there a way to tell that to senior management without getting a negative reaction?

Does anyone else worry they are coming off as a b*tch to male subordinates when being direct with them? I know I shouldn’t worry about this because if I was a male.. it would never be interpreted that way.
