Talk about how you get to fly on planes every week and focus on that, probably. Then maybe generalize about how you go fix peoples problems? Not really sure why they bother having parents explain their jobs, how much will they necessarily grasp haha

I like H1’s suggestion about taking a plane to work. You can frame your problem solving in metaphors they understand, like you help clients find missing pieces to finish their puzzles, or when they try to fit a square peg in a round hole, you help them reshape the peg into a ball so it fits. Or tell them a story about how one day you went to a company and everyone was scared they were going to lose their jobs and you helped them come up with lots of ideas. Then you helped them pick the best idea and it worked. They all kept their jobs and lived happily ever after and you flew back home on an airplane to your family -show photo of you and your child. 🤷🏽‍♀️

I just came home sobbing because I got too drunk at my female best friends house and her husbands male friend tried to take advantage of me when we were left alone in a hot tub. My boyfriend didn’t ask if I was okay but instead screamed at me, threw things and left the house. Dumping him is the only logical answer?? Am I crazy?

Been having trouble moving on since girlfriend ended relationship 3 weeks ago after 2+ years of dating. Before ending it she came over 3 weeks prior to basically give me a chance to work things out and we had a good discussion but then I went back into our routine and didn’t really fight for it or have serious follow up convos that we needed. Now I just have so many regrets that I let her go. I know we still love each other and left on “good” terms but can’t forgive myself for my lack of action.

I know this isn’t a marriage therapy bowl, but my husband has a really terrible tendency of saying things like “you’re being really mean” and completely shutting down during a disagreement when i objectively am not being mean, just truthful or vocal about how i feel about something. It’s a really convenient argument for him because it enables him to either be the victim and me the villian, or forces me to concede my stance and not reach a true resolution. Any tips on dealing with the irrational?

What questions should senior associates be asking to get a better assessment of partnership prospects?

I’m in a smaller group that historically promotes only one new partner every few years, and there are several others also eligible. Any questions I should avoid asking?
