Also - looking for Muslim and/or desi type things.

Does anyone have any experience with leaving Google then attempting to rejoin after 1 or 2 years? I read online that is mostly about your manager's feedback upon your leave, and that you could sometimes be easily accepted again and sometimes without an interview.

I am particularly concerned as I would only be working for a year and I don't know if that's enough time to get a good enough feedback.

P.s I am starting next month, but I know I might need to leave after a year for a family matter.

New corporate junior associate here. How do you gauge whether you are supposed to finish an assignment over the weekend or if it can wait until Monday? If you get an assignment Friday night, do you just automatically work on it on Saturday or do you ask the partner? How do you ask them (i.e. your exact email response)?

Hoping this doesn’t turn controversial. Should I be teaching my young kids to read Quran in Arabic (so learn a new language just to read Quran but no value otherwise), or skip Arabic and have them read transliteration (so like Alhamdu lilahi) or third option to just read in English the translation where they will actually understand? I mean, I spend 100 dollars a week on a tutor to teach them Arabic. My parents spent thousands and I can barely read it now and prefer transliteration.thoughts?

I know this probably isn't the bowl for this.

However, I rather reach out to the good folks here than have to rely on matrimony apps.

So I met a girl on muzmatch and we’ve been talking for a little bit now. I like her a lot but often find myself leading every conversation and her questions to me are usually, “what about you?” type of deal and never something that I haven’t just asked her. It’s not like she doesn’t respond but I get the feeling that she’s not into me as much as I’m into her. Thoughts?
