Can some of y’all join the personals bowl? No one is answering my ad and I’m scared it’s all straight people lol.

Just joined this bowl and disappointed to find 80% of the posts are just people too lazy to read their employee handbook... I’m here to ask, any firms offers MilkStork as a benefit.

In your ICUs how many make it after intubation and proning? Just curious to compare.

It’s been 5 weeks and I haven’t gone a day or night without crying and feeling haunted by them. I can’t eat, can’t sleep, can’t produce quality work, can’t find joy in anything I previously loved. This is the worst physical and psychological pain I’ve ever experienced.

Best place to go for a short vacation after tax season?

I’m trying to decide on a hotel in the Maldives - currently choosing between the W Maldives and the Park Hyatt Maldives.

Does anyone have a perspective based on experience?

How important is seniors/managers setting an example? It seems these people believe they are entitled or privileged at Barclays and morale is suffering as a result.

Maxed my 401k with todays paycheck 🏆 a lonnngg way from FIRE but step by step my friends!

I found one of my coworker's anonymous Twitter accounts, and it has a ton of red flags involving bigotry, sexism, etc. It's a personal account, so should I mention it to HR or not?

I am looking to get involved with strategy on the staff level and have contacts in Accenture and Deloitte. I am hoping for some work-life balance (having most weekends available, not working past 11..

Do you count your car as part of your NW on Mint/other trackers?

Hi Fishes,

Can anyone refer me for FDD roles?
Current working with EY GDS with 1.7 years of experience.

I’ve been working in finance strategy / transformation consulting for the last two years and would like to pivot into construction project management. Looking to get some insights of if something like this is even feasible or if anyone else has done something similar.

Honest question here-hw do I work better with Indians who come over frm India(on-site) to client?My patience with them is at an all time low since they jst dnt gt the methodology & hate owning anythng

Anyone here from Hudson County NJ and follows politics?
I am NJ-8, and would like to vote for most progressive candidate on the ballot but no candidate except for the corporate shill/ son of corrupt nepo Menendez, has a fully developed site and I just cannot in good conscience vote for him just because he has a D next to him. Just moved to this district 2 months so any guidance appreciated.

Experienced hires who have recently joined Big 4, how rough has the transition been?

Husband and I have been trying to conceive for a little over a year with no luck. All of our testing came back normal except his morphology was at 6%. RE is recommending IUI as next step with letrozole (and also looking like progesterone and ovulation trigger shot from the paperwork) I’m scared of the drugs and potential effect on my hormones, body, and future cycles. Can anyone please share their experience with these drugs and any side effects? Should we maybe start with natural IUI first?

Accidentally overpaid into my 401k (forgot to account for employer match). How can I correct this without getting double taxed?

Deloitte folks: What is the difference between SAMA M&A and Financial Advisory M&A work?

I’m sure it’s not new to 2022, but I’m feeling more than ever this year how much of “corporate pride” centers around gay men and calls it “lgbtq”. Are gay women, bisexuals, etc. not as palatable for audiences? I’m struggling with this a bit.

Hmm... our clients just paused ads on Teen Vogue due to homophobic tweets by the outlet's new editor-in-chief, Alexi McCammond.

I see recruiters encouraging Women, POC, and LGBTQIA to apply. How does one show they identify as the third?

Just wanted to say, as a guy in my mid-20’s, cheers to all the 30-40+ y/o LGBTQIA+ folks here—I know we roll our eyes at the performative rainbows on everything now, but you folks made this possible for the rest of us—you fought for acceptance, for our rights, and you made it through the struggle so people my age don’t have the same weight to carry, so we don’t have to be as afraid.
We have a long way to go, and I’ll carry the torch too, but I really think y’all deserve more gratitude. Happy 🏳️‍🌈

Is anyone doing virtual volunteer work? If so, where? I don’t have much time but the time I do have I want to spend meaningfully!

Do your clients know you're queer?

Hi fellow 🌈 🐠- Looking for a therapist in Toronto. Can be virtual but would prefer to do sessions in person at some point with the same therapist for continuity. Any recos or resources on where to start the search? Bonus if they are LGBTQ or have experience/specialize within that community.

Happy Pride Month 🏳️‍🌈

Do you feel, as members of our community in advertising (a privilege we share in having a voice in media but also cultural persuasion) that you should lean into brands taking advantage of the opportunity to capitalize on our community or steer them away from that but also refocus their minds to a more long term diverse creative solution?

Looking to join a running club for LGBTQ folk or other agency folk. Is that a thing? NYC by the way.

What brands do Pride right? Any favorite campaigns come to mind? Or on the flip side, any campaigns you dislike for being tone-deaf or performative?

How many people come to this bowl and wish there was more happening? Show of hands please.

Today’s my first day changing my pronouns at work, I am excited and terrified!! If you did the same and feel like sharing, I would love to hear your experience 💫 I am so anxious!

It’s that time when pride briefs are rolling across our desks. We should collectively write a guide on pride campaigns, what to do and what not to do. Anyone want to share their advice?

Does anyone know of a good therapist they could recommend in the LA area? Saw someone post something similar to this in the bowl the other day so I thought it wouldn’t hurt to ask. They don’t have to be LGBTQ+, but it would help if they have some experience in that area.

What do you or are you looking for out of your LGBTQIA+ employee resource group?
