Any good video game recommendations for a kid that is interested in engineering? Free or paid are both fine, and he already has Poly Bridge

Moms, during what point in your pregnancy did you stop traveling for work? I’m currently pregnant and traveling for work.

Does EY pay 100% for maternity leave 4 weeks before baby is due? I know they do 16 weeks post delivery but CA state law allows you to take 4 before due date. Anyone able to get it approved and paid?

On behalf of a friend- Question is that his father has a business in hometown which is facing problems due to manpower and my friend is a CA himelf and is currently doing a job in fortune 500 company. Should he continue his job or get involved into the business. Some deep insights required from some seniors who could help my freind.

Thank you

Please help me decide whether I should escalate this or not: 27 weeks today, baby is moving like CRAZY suddenly. I’ve had some feisty movements, usually at night, but this is on another level and very extreme compared to before or even just yesterday. My first pregnancy, so how do I know if this is fetal distress or normal?! Google isn’t clarifying much. My next ultrasound/glucose screen is next Tuesday. TIA.

Has anyone changed jobs between kids and still received full maternity leave from their new company? I feel like I’m stuck at my consulting firm (big 4) until I’m done having kids since I want a decent maternity leave. I’m pregnant with my second but want three kids so it’ll be at least another few years before I can jump ship :(

Started with a new law firm in a new practice area in the fall. Now I’m pregnant with my second child and due this summer. The firm offers up to 4 months of leave. I can’t think of a good reason why I would shorten my leave despite being relatively new at the firm and in the practice area. I’m honestly concerned I will resent it if I do. Would you shorten your leave under these circumstances? If so, why?

Yeah, my parent's marriage stressing me out!

Any recommendations for child behavioral therapists in NYC? I got quotes $3,500 (this doctor doesn’t take insurance, and has a 6 month waiting list).

Rant: Told my mom yesterday not to play with the baby at the diaper changing table. The baby is crying, mom is usually in the way loudly trying to pacify the baby while me or hubby are trying to change the diaper. She took this to mean we weren't appreciative of her help.. Blah.. Blah.. She didn't talk to me all evening yesterday and is still not talking to my husband. Obviously hubby is super irritated and the whole home atmosphere is ruined. Rant over...

Hi, does anyone know when an employee becomes eligible for maternity/paternity leave at either Gilead, BMS, or Merck? For NVS, it’s day 1 of employment but not sure if that’s common within the industry.

Did you ever sell lemonade as a kid out here in Austin? My young ones want to make some money, and I thought about helping them with a lemonade stand like my folks used to but things aren't like how they used to be back in the day.

Read on here that lots of parents don’t wake their babies for feedings. My baby is a little over 1 month and is steady gaining weight (formula) and I decided to not wake him for night feedings. He usually wakes up around the 4-5 hour mark. Question... is it okay to let him go past 6 hours? Anyone else did/ do this with their baby?

SNOO mamas... A friend is lending me theirs for my nb. This thing scares the daylights out of me, rocking back and forth all the time, esp when it gets to stage three of fussy. But everything I've read online is positive and suggests snoo is likely safer than a traditional flatbed due to the wings, which I do like.

When you use your snoo, do you leave it on all night? Worry about too much movement? Any tips/tricks? Do you put baby in pjs or just the snoo swaddle. Thanks for any feedback 😳

EY 🐠 - potentially starting with the firm soon, and my partner is due to have our first in April. Given the 1 year service requirement for leave, would I have the option to take PTO during birth and use parental leave after my 1 year of service? Appreciate any guidance here

I just got laid off about a month ago. It was the biggest blessing because the place was severely dysfunctional. I’ve been in tech for over 12 years and I was told how standard practices were wrong by my colleagues. I’ve been interviewing like crazy and I am getting traction with all of the FAANG companies. These are my dream jobs and I feel like I am getting close to receiving offers soon. They say success comes to those who have something to prove, and I have a LOT to prove to the haters!!

Which subfields of engineering are going to show the most growth in the next ten years, in your opinion?

My brother recently graduated high school and wants to work for a year or two before he starts his undergrad. What sort of jobs should he be looking for that could help his resume in the future? He eventually wants to pursue engineering

It's engineering, not rocket science. I mean unless it really IS rocket science... in which case it's engineering, physics, and chemistry.

What is something people should be aware of before deciding to pursue a career in engineering?

Hey I’m currently an engineer at a nuclear power plant, I’ve only been there about 6 months, but I recently got an offer for a production shift supervisor at a chemical plant. My question is basically would this be more valuable experience than my current position. Any other pros and cons would be helpful too. Thanks

I thought I really wanted to be a chemical engineer but the reality of the day to day has been disappointing to say the least… is this a common sentiment for a first job? Do I just have to keep going to get somewhere interesting?

What do you think of this quote? “For us engineers we don't get paid to do things right. We get paid to do things just right enough." Does it ring true for you?

What is the coolest thing you've ever designed?

I've noticed that my coworkers tend to work more on their own than with others, even when they're all in the office. Is this normal? I feel like it would be helpful for everyone to talk about their projects more often—I mean, what if someone else has solved the same problem you're trying to solve already?

I have my dream job interview. I have 6 days practicing for the interview, and I have written possible questions, regular questions and very crazy questions. Despite all that, I don't feel prepared, and my stress is brutal. Any advice?
