Looking for a PwC senior associate referral in Advisory, anyone want to help me out. I have about 3.5 YOE, a PMP, an engineering degree from a top 10 engineering program, and feel like I’m a good fit for the position.

My SO adds very little to our relationship. She has a dead end job. I cook. I work. I oversee finances. I plan trips. She doesn’t have a voice in the relationship. I’ve asked her to give her perspective but she always defaults to mine bc she thinks I’m smarter/worldly. She feels intimated by me and my social circle. Lately, I’ve found myself thinking for her. Anticipating her wants and needs and then adjusting my behavior to meet them. Which she appreciates but it’s frustrating 29M 27F
