Changing my counseling family is one of the best things I've done since I started. Can't wait to get a new peer advisor and counselor be apart of a totally new group.

I hope you actually end up with a better counselor. Peer advisors don't actually matter all that much since they're technically only there to help with on-boarding. If I were you, I would make sure you just find out which senior managers and partners are responsible for scheduling. It worked wonders in getting me the experiences I wanted and the people I want on my teams and I'm only a senior.

If you hate your counselor, I would bring it up to a partner you feel comfortable with and do it in a democratic way. I let a partner know my situation and they were helpful with getting me a new counselor. Forming genuine relationships with people makes life a lot easier. Definitely try and find your way to the in crowd because life is 100x easier.

Was it a difficult process to switch?

No I just filled out the information they sent us in an email. I needed to switch as I felt both of them were not helping me get ahead as I later found that others in my start class were able to find more work as a direct result of their counselor and advisor relationship.

@ey2, how did you find which senior managers and partners were responsible for scheduling in your office? Was it just within your family or the entire office?

What to do when you hate your counselor?

They sent an email out about changing it last week.

I work in the NYC office where my group is roughly 80 people. I found out by talking to various managers and partners. It takes a bit of networking, but it's not really a secret and there are a million factors that go into it. Also helps to have experience management on your side.

OP which office are you from? West by chance?

I been thinking about buying a 3bed and 3bath house or a condo. I haven’t had much luck in finding one so I started thinking about 4 bed and 3bath. I am single and I don’t have any plans to marry or have a partner staying with me. Is there anyone who’s single living in a 3 or 4 bed house by yourself ? Please share your experiences from all aspects. The only thing that makes me think weird is, it’s too much space for one person ☹️

Have you ever taken a job you know you will hate because you needed the money right away? I have a family to take care of. I don't want to be plowing through our savings for selfish reasons like my mindframe at work, but I don't want to make our lives worse by being miserable. It's a matter of really ruining some of our financial future if we don't get money soon.

So recently my SO has been accusing me of being in control of when we are intimate (sex and cuddling). She says that every time she wants to I say no - and whenever I want to - she says yes. So it's by default doing whatever I want when I want. It's a gross exaggeration of what's happening - but does anyone ever deal with something like this? How do you say no to something like that - without your partner thinking you're just looking out for yourself or you're controlling?

My SO adds very little to our relationship. She has a dead end job. I cook. I work. I oversee finances. I plan trips. She doesn’t have a voice in the relationship. I’ve asked her to give her perspective but she always defaults to mine bc she thinks I’m smarter/worldly. She feels intimated by me and my social circle. Lately, I’ve found myself thinking for her. Anticipating her wants and needs and then adjusting my behavior to meet them. Which she appreciates but it’s frustrating 29M 27F

Is this legal? My spouses company just decided to change their comp structure for account managers. It was base + comm, now it’s commission only but nothing changed, OT commission is the same, didn’t get more points, just took away the base pay and said work harder basically. So now they have to worker harder to get $50k they were already making. (Not a decision based on employee performance, they’ve been crushing it. I think the company is just trying to save money they overspent else where)
