I want to spend $10k on a cruise to Antarctica. My wife doesn’t want to go and doesn’t think I should spend the money either. I make 200k and she makes 65k. I worked hard to get a 37k hot skill bonus from all the certs I studied for. We are recently married. I’m discouraged because I feel like I can’t save and spend my money the way I did before. I know marriage is supposed to be united financially, but since we are recently married it’s tough to give up my freedom financially. Advice?

How do you know if someone likes you in the beginning of dating? I met this guy online who I thought was cute and we went on a few dates. He always texted me right after the date and always initiates another date right after or within a day. He’s been sweet to me (ie when I was packing for a trip, he noticed there’s dirty dishes in the sink and he just started washing them for me) but he never texts in between dates and doesn’t really initiates much physical contact (he reciprocates when I do)

1. What company do you work for?
2. From a timesheet/utilization standpoint, what does your company consider as a work week? (e.g, 40 hours, 50 hours)
3. How many hours are you expected to work in a week?

I'm an introverted person, like to keep to myself, focus on work, spend the rest of my time on family, gym etc. I've been told that I need to work on my communication and client relationship building skills. any books I can read? I don't follow pop. culture anymore, no longer actively follow team sports (but sporty myself) as I consider it bread and circus for the masses and don't rly enjoy work drinks... Am I doomed? Personally I am happy and love the work but fear for my career progression.

Moved from Uncle D to BCG about a month ago. It feels different when they do not track your utilization for year end evaluations. Focus is on value creation and project performance. Happy move!

I got an interview with a consulting company and they liked me and gave an offer. I have countered their offer and the hiring manager scheduled a call with me the following day and gave me another counter to my counter. I didn't accept it and told him that the number I gave is fair based off my skills. He said he will review it with other team managers and reply back. It's been a week and I've never heard anything from them is that a no? And is it normal that they don't communicate back?
