Deloitte question. I have always gotten a raise each year, the only question I ask is how much of a raise do I get. But I’m hearing from former Deloitte folks, it is naive to expect annual raises each year however small/big they are? And how does this play in Deloitte consulting vs advisory? Do one tend to withhold annual raises in base salary over the other, or is this just a deloitte culture thing? Looking at exit opportunities all over. So lmk! I’d Rather get a small raise than none at all.

Suggest not having kids 😂
I’ll be scarfing down my snacks in the bathroom 😏
My boyfriend hates sharing food too but has learned to tolerate it through gritted teeth because I've made it clear that I see the sharing of food to be a key boyfriend role 🤷♀️
Wait till you get married. Then, they just take

Dam it didn’t let me edit my comment. Joey*🤦🏻♂️
Lol Joey doesn’t share his food! In classic consulting fashion, maybe communicating upfront would be helpful. My brother is the same way - dude announces to the whole family that his entree is just for himself. It’s now a running joke in the family
LOL! I used to be like this but my husband enthusiastically shares a taste of his meals with me so I guess I’ve finally learned how to share 🥲
I don’t mind sharing food if it’s family style or tapas or something. I’ve had to learn to say no when the GF asks to split something though. She gets the perfect amount and I’m left hungry.
Pro
Are you from a culture where family style and sharing is a part of every meal and you are the oddball for not sharing?
Alas I am not alone 😂 i also hate sharing food. No you can’t “taste” what I got. Plx focus on yours.

Considering sharing is not only common but considered normal in some cultures, you may need to find a way to adjust.
Hate it as well but I’ve had to learn to get over it since my fiancé always wants a bite
You should know you SOs habits well enough at this point to determine whether or not that is something they are willing to change, and you can decide if that's your hill to die on. But If I know some of my fries are gonna be eaten, I now know just to get the large.
