Baby furniture. What is everyone doing? FTM and trying to figure out if it’s worth investing in very expensive nursery furniture. We were looking at the Natart furniture collection and the Silva collections. These both come in at about $2000-$2400. The furniture is high quality and grows with the child. Alternatively I could go the lower end route at get everything for like $800. Is that wise? I hear horror stories about low quality and paint chipping from the baby teething on the crib.

Hi! Any recommendations for best places for a baby moon in the US in the July/August timeframe? TIA!

For those fighting to get into or survive at MBB - keep at it! My early sacrifice at MBB unlocked an incredible post-MBB career where I feel challenged, enjoy the job, have enough quality time with my family to be an equal co-parent, and make more $$ than I ever imagined. Never give up!

Hi ladies...

Those working mother,

How are you managing with a kid/kids while working.

Currently have a 5th grade girl who is struggling with classroom behaviors and choices. When questioned, she says she wants to be a boy, but her parents won’t allow it. Obviously, she is struggling with more than making good choices at school. Her parents are very kind and appreciative of all we do for their child, but they are also clearly struggling with this. Anyone ever been in a similar situation or have some advice on how we can best support the student?

Anyone know which of the area defense contractors has the best benefits (I.e. paternity leave)? I’ve seen some that offer none and some that have provided 2 weeks. Seems that while perhaps the industry won’t match big tech, there has to be some out there that offer something more generous.

For those of you working big law hours while pregnant? How did you manage through your third trimester? I find myself more tired than usual and definitely not working to the capacity I was during my second trimester. It’s stressing me out!

Due in 4 weeks and freaking out. This is my second. For my first I never did child birth classes or wanted to know what would happen because it would freak me out. Now I know what it’s like and...

Does anyone love their team so much as if they were their own children? I keep talking about 2 people to my life partner as if I was a proud parent. 😬

Another "we are having a baby" day from friends. I used to get very excited for everyones babies but I think its taking a huge toll on me now. Instead of being happy for them I cried. I dont want to feel like this. I actually don't even know what am feeling except for I am sad. I don't want to call them don't want to wish them don't want to do anything but I ll have to put up a brave face and maybe send care baskets or host yet another baby shower

Employee stock purchase plans. My employer has an ESPP that allows me to buy stock at 5% discount on the last day of each month. There are no fees for purchasing the stock or reinvesting dividends. There is a $15-30 fee to sell depending on the type of sales order. Is it worth it to contribute and sell once or twice a year to take advantage of the 5% “free money” while also avoiding the risk of putting too much money in my employer? It’s a pretty stable utility if that matters.

Anyone with insights on recruiting timelines for experienced hired analysts? Should we look for help from our college?

Working 9-5 remote, looking for anything else to do virtually to help make side income. I currently serve in the evenings sometimes and make great money, but it’s exhausting on my body as they are 8 hour shifts after 5pm. I’m pretty skilled but I’m 21 so I just don’t know where to begin for side gigs/just joined fishbowl today. Anyone have any beginner advice?

Call me a disgruntled employee, but I have seen a sudden decline in the kind of talent Novartis is getting or has been able to retain. The kind of people I see in Novartis or people reaching out to me for a referral over all the digital platforms are for all the wrong reasons. The first question I get asked is "is it a hectic job?" Or "Do we get a good WLB?". And I see this translate into the kind of work some of my colleagues do too. And I see same callous attitude in many of my colleagues.

Pregnant wife is having small portion meals lately, so i asked why she is eating less than usual. She read somewhere that eating too much can lead to oversized baby, making the delivery more painful, so it looks like she may be controlling the portion because of this. Is not eating enough a cause for concern?

Do you think it’s worth waiting for Black Friday sale for strollers etc.? Or generally there are no discounts on baby stuff. Wondering if I should buy now or wait - baby is due in Jan.
