If you teach yourself that that avoiding opportunity is OK because you're scared of some potential for downside, then you'll be avoiding opportunities for life. And downside will still come at you anyway. May as well have some agency in the matter.

You’re just looking initially. Treat this as a way to explore different options. You need to interview and get an offer before taking the jump is even a question. Nothing to lose in the meantime!

This! You may find that your interview process reaffirms that you’re actually really happy at Deloitte - or may identify some areas that you could pursue there now, or highlight a potential opportunity or path for the future. Interviewing isn’t bad. Do what’s best for you ❤️

Any advice on dealing with a particularly critical client? I’m confident in the work I and my partners do. I think we add value and are great at what we do. I have a client who just attacks everything I do and goes to my boss at the drop of a hat. I’m starting to experience significant anxiety every time I see an email from this person. This morning I woke up to another critical email to my boss with a copy to me. I’m at a loss and now questioning my work and concerned about my job.

Does it bother you when someone you care about won't let you treat them (like on special occasions such as birthdays and stuff)? I don't know why it's upsetting me so much, and I'm trying to figure out what the root of my issue is. I'm getting overly emotional about it. It makes me feel like I'm making it about me vs. them, which is not what I want to do at all. On the contrary, I want them to enjoy whatever I treat them to, but this is all backfiring because I can't control my emotions.

I’m not sure if this happens to you, I’m constantly intimidated and feel judged by white men and women and/or people born in the US for having a strong foreign accent in the US. Nobody says that to my face, but I can see it in people’s actions. This has severely affected my confidence and I focus more on the way I pronounce some words rather than the content. How do I battle this situation? Would definitely like both perspectives.

I separated from my ex in March of 2020 and divorce was finalized in October 2020.

I want to be happy alone before I meet anyone new. Any tips or advice on how I can effectively accomplish this? Thank you!

Hi ladies! Need your opinion and advice on a slightly awkward topic
I recently started dating this guy. He is really good in bed (well endowed, good stamina, great foreplay, etc). But he doesn’t cum after sex. Our sex routine normally ends at either of us getting tired after a long run but not him cuming. We’ve been together for the last 4-5 days and have done it many times (early phases of a relationship). And he came only once.
Is this something I should be worried about? Does this mean
