Looking at some condos/townhouses in Gold Coast/Old Town area. Love the neighborhood, but also have to consider elementary schools in the next few years. How is Manierre, the neighborhood school, so bad? I feel like I'll be forced to send my kid to a magnet/private school or live elsewhere.

We are a first generation immigrant, working couple in our 30’s with a one year old baby. Have always lived in the city and work in the financial district. We have outgrown our 2bedroom condo on UES and are feeling the need for more space, especially for the kid. What are some of the better NYC suburbs for young families? Looking for an easy commute into the city, safe place with good schools and happening vibe with dining options, bars etc. Just starting our research, so any info is welcome!

Can we increase the Hra amount while filing the return?
I have paid lumpsum amount to my parent as the rent.

I’m in a rather peculiar situation. I have been in the HR field going on 4 years, I have over 11 years of management experience, I got my PHR last year and I recently graduated with my MBA with a concentration in HR this month. I am ready for a more challenging role. However, there doesn’t seem to be much available at my current company. However, I am going on 5 months pregnant with the expectation of being out in October. I feel like once I mentioned my pregnancy I was in a holding pattern.

What do you do when a store manager let's a cashier.walk all over the assistant manager? Dm isn't any help. I'm at my wits end! Store manager sticks up for cashier every single time.

How do you tackle ignorant managers and favoritism in the team ?

How many of you have taken cases to your state court of last resort? My firm is taking a child welfare case to our state supreme court (not NY— so the actual last court.) Just curious about others’ experience(s). Very clear from the intermediate court that the panel didn’t bother to read the record on appeal. Very frustrating that my client’s last shot is discretionary when the trial court ignored my client and the one guaranteed appeal had a panel that couldn’t bother

Hello Ladies (and others who might be here?)!
Anyone in the Chantilly NoVa area? We should schedule something 😊 also am a mom so up for kid friendly things if it makes it easier!

Are there more growth opportunity in Tax provision or Investment tax? I work for a financial services firm and want to go up the chain. But the recent tax provision manager opening will be filled. The senior director has hinted that investment tax accounting can be "my baby".

I don’t have enough to do. I’m learning a lot, which is great. I’ve asked my senior associate (one I get most of my work from) for more and the things I get I get done relatively quickly. Going to be more assertive today with the partner. I’m worried I’m wasting time and getting paid for it which is not a good feeling. 🫠

Hi all! I’m applying to NYU tax llm and I’m pretty confident I can get in,but it’s unlikely I’ll receive a scholarship. I’m working at a non big4 consulting firm for about 1.5yrs now, doing mainly international with some M&A exposure. I want to do llm because I still want to shoot for biglaw. I have a small kid so it’ll be hard to do the program part time. Should I quit my current job and enroll full time? Meaning lose 1yr salary and taking on a job security risk. TIA!

Hi can any one suggest what is the policy in Capgemini for a returning new mother with two kids one is an Infant of one year.

I started a new job 4 months ago. Have gotten lots of positive feedback. They keep increasing my workload, I am now 200% allocated so I flagged this with my boss before the break who was very receptive and said would get me help. Fast forward to me following up and it’s a completely different story - I am apparently taking too long on things. This shook me. We are going to talk more this week. Advice?

I posted this somewhere else before I remembered that I am in this bowl :) so, I changed jobs 6-7 months ago and I am realizing it is not a good fit. Leadership seem to not want to hear the truth so people tell them what they want to hear and if you don’t middle management gets pissed at you. I am seriously thinking about looking somewhere else. My question is how do you answer the “why are you looking to leave” question without bad mouthing your current company?

When in your pregnancy did you start gaining weight?

I accidentally took 50 mg of Unisom instead of 25 mg (my doctor just recently recommended I take it). While I wait to hear back from the doctor, does anyone know if 50 mg is okay?

I’m 16 weeks pregnant and haven’t told anybody at work. My team is organizing an out of town networking event next week (60+ people) and I’m getting second thoughts about attending (mostly because of covid or any other virus I could get by flying in or attending). Am I overreacting or being crazy for thinking this way? I don’t know whether I should attend or not, and if I decide not to, what my excuse could be as I don’t want anybody to think they can’t count on me anymore bc I’m pregnant. Help!

When you do you ultrasound or checks to rule out issues with the embryos? First child and asking because have seen some issues in my husband’s family.

Any online workout plan for pregnancy?

I tried looking at the BabyCenter community boards, and there’s so many acronyms that everyone just knows. Like, they’re all in the “April 2024 birth club” with me so how do they know the acronyms already? I gave up. Fishbowl is better.

Any opinions on Hyundai Tucson vs Kia Sorento? We’re expecting our first so we don’t really need three rows yet, but we’re planning on keeping this car for 5+ years and we might want a car to grow into. I guess I’m wondering whether it’s worth it to pay more for the extra space at this stage or if we should upgrade later.
