It’s going to be what it’s going to be. You wouldn’t want him to hinder your progress, so allow him to do this and if it means you break up, you break up. But some couples survive. They get engaged before or agree to move together.

I’m currently at business school and my boyfriend is a consultant. Not ideal but it’s been an amazing few months so far with lots of travel. He doesn’t live in the same city (NY and philly) but his travel actually makes it easier to see one another. Happy to answer any questions!

It’s not irrational. Staying together during business school is really tough especially if you are long distance. Is it in a different city? Will you move with him?

Well. Keep talking about it and be honest. Whatever happens just stay true to yourself and believe in the future. It will work out one way or the other

It's like, can you pretend to care just a little?

My wife and me just moved to NYC (from Chile). We are trying to find her a Job in NYC, but its been hard through LinkedIn. Do you know any other ways we could try to get at least interviews? She is trying to join a business develop. team, ideally in energy, but obviously opened for other industries as well. She's 5 years of exp. w/ background of M&A in EY and Business development in Energy.

Would appreciate any hints for this!

Thanks in advance!
