Anyone have a Sig O that wants to still stay 100% locked down due to Covid? I’ve struggled a lot through the pandemic because I’m very social. It’s way worse now when my wife is adamant about us basically doing nothing socially, no indoor eating, etc. Even no Easter with family… with the family not being overly risky but just basically a balanced Covid life. We have one kid under 1. Honestly just curious if anyone has dealt with this and any tips.

Absolutely. We’ve have little to no support from family as they are overseas. We have 2 young children and the first one is a bit hyperactive and little one was very young when the pandemic started so has zero friends. My wife and I struggled significantly but realized that we need to snap out of it. It wasn’t easy. Our relationship was strained too probably out of depression/frustration etc. We too didn’t have any symptoms all along (may be mild at one point in time so guess we had covid) but last two years were surely hard on us. We felt lonely without any support from family, kids acting up etc.

I would try compromises first. When we stopped locking down our home it started with me going to game night with a few guy friends, then she’d go to book club. Doing activities outside the house with social friends helped. Eventually our kids went to school and we just stopped the whole lock down. We all got Covid in February, but it was the weak omnicron so we feel fortunate that we hardly had symptoms.

I'd considered taking up a 9-5 somewhere but not sure if thatd wear off fast.

TLDR: Getting over your ex of 2.5 years ghosting you after they said they wanted to reconnect.

I was dating someone for about 2.5 years and then we broke up because of COVID and the long distance was making it too difficult to continue. The break up must’ve been like a 4-5 minute FaceTime because I was very distraught. After we broke up, she started seeing someone else but I was heartbroken and it’s taken me over a year to really get over everything and process those feelings. (Cont.)

How have you combated your fear of rejection? I fixate on such small things as when my friends, for example, reject plans I have made. This definitely makes me more averse to putting myself out there and makes me ruminate on past perceived failures, which are clearly not good for personal growth

Hi guys, i have a current CTC of fixed 30L and I got a variable ~8L (32%). I heard that Bofa doesn't give bonus so what is the ideal one can quote the HR and should look reasonable?
PS - I heard that Bofa gives an average hike of 10% whereas in consulting I have always received hike > 20 or above.
Given this and markets I was hoping for ~50L (considering 30+8)? Any suggestions. Also they are in an urgent requirement for the role to be filled. I need suggestions on this number. Thanks in advance
