Confession: I strongly think Bowl Leader is the coolest person on this fish app. Seriously.

This bowl used to be quite toxic, so much so that there were a couple of splinter confession bowls. There's now some relative sanity here, and some credit goes to BL's leadership.

BL, check your venmo when you see this 🥵

Hi, I’m currently working in Business consulting at EY India. I am keen to practice consulting in the Middle East. Does anyone know which mgmt consulting firms offer visa sponsorships and the best way to reach out to them?
Thanks in advance!

What are the rankings for top consulting firms in the human capital space? (Big 3, big 4, +++)

I Want to maintain engagement and morale on a long project and staring an MS Teams Channel to post recognition and engagement events with staff. Stumped on what to call it… any suggestions? So far “Good news and more” is all I got. TIA

When you realize the greatest value add you can bring to the deal today is picking up everyone's lunch

Is bgv closed before joining LTI.
What are the things in BGV closed before joining and after after joining.

My vegan sister in law is turning 40 in August, any ideas on cool vegan gifts or experiences? It's a huge part of her identity. She's also an endocrinologist and incredibly active/fit

Everything always takes me so long to do :/

The dominoes are falling. But is it in progress? When?

Let’s continue the momentum!

If you’re open to referring people to your company, post your company and your location below!

Hello Fishes, I'm a UI/UX designer with ten years of experience and hold a GL offer of 25 lakhs. Is it a good company to join? Kindly do reply with job security perspective. 

Hi sharks.... How long it takes for Global Logic to come back after Manager round? It's been 1week since I gave interview... No updates so far... GlobalLogic

How is GlobalLogic in terms of job security?? I'm thinking of joining GL but due to market scenario, a little worried. Tech stack - QA Automation.

Also, is GL providing WFH or hybrid or WFO for Gurgaon location?

It's funny how leadership development programs are a sham. Content is wordy and managers who preach don't practice.

Hypocrisy trending !

There’s a senior architect at my firm that’s absolutely toxic as heck but on Fridays, he becomes his alter ego. All like “Happy Friday!” and “you’re very welcome” and “hope you have a fantastic weekend!” No joke, he really is a different person.

I think people who “kiss” their dogs/pet on their mouths are disgusting

What's a good show to watch on Netflix? Need rec's before Peaky Blinders comes back on. Thx

Just finished Ozark, so any shows of that type would be great.

Industry on HBO >>>>>>

I'm plopped on the floor buzzed, single AF, surrounded by cats, and I have no regrets tonight.

Perspective: monogamy is anti-human nature; in this era where each parent could raise a kid independently, marriage tends to be a shackle on many aspects of life. We live once, why does society expect us to live with 1 person for 60+ years? No wonder divorce rates are through the roof!

I miss music. Like actual bands with instruments and vocal ability. Feels like the music industry is so hollowed out that multi-member instrumental bands like Fleetwood Mac, The Beatles, and even Metallica are no longer able to take root.

There are a few talented individual singers (Adele) a lot of awful mumble rappers, but no actual bands that will stand the test of time. Before I get called a Boomer, the problems with the music industry for new artists are well documented.

I work part time for a startup for equity and am attending an event on behalf of the startup. I’ve only been here a few months and asked multiple times to have a prep meeting with my boss. He instead sent me a 15 page document outlining 40 questions I should be able to answer the day before the event.
I’m so incredibly stressed as I don’t want to show up unprepared and make myself look bad. Idk how to make light of this situation at this point

Have a crush on my co-worker. He asked me out to go rock climbing one-on-one after we were texting for a while and I acted awkwardly when we went because I didn’t know if it was a date (nothing was explicitly said). Now I’m stuck in this weird limbo state where things have fizzled out but I’m re-reading texts and think he might’ve actually had a crush too and I pushed him away. Ambiguity sucks.

Currently in a committed relationship and just came to the realization that I have actually never been single in my life. Sometimes I wonder what the single life is like.. just dating and doing whatever I want without having to think about a partner. Any one else ever felt like this? Or been in this situation?

I feel some OPs are using people as free therapy in this bowl. Just saying, although I'm happy to be a free therapist.

Well...I've finally made it in my marriage when we are reading each other's minds.

Battle royale, which F500 CEO is your champion? Money has no influence.

I’ll start, Jeff Bezos is my champion. Pure physicality and oddly deep voice

Is it bad luck to pawn a promise ring?

Anyone actually use the Networking feature here on fishbowl? Like yeah I see some of you with it on but do you actually use it besides thirsty dms?

Have an interview soon with a company I'm not really interested in and just want to start my weekend...

This guy Elon is hilarious. Trolls everyone, sleeps with people's wives.
When I grow up I wanna be just like him.
Even roasting other billionaires like Bezos and Gates.
I always thought to reach to the top you'd have to act a certain way, but this guy simply does what he wants and does not care.
