Curious on Muslim marriage stories? 22m US. Honestly don’t even know where to look. After college haven’t been meeting “new” people pre covid.

We just met a wonderful kitten while camping in East Idaho. We’re flying back to Bay Area tonight and thinking if we should leave him here or drop him off at a local shelter or take him with us and find him home in the Bay. What should we do?
(My gf and I already have 3 cats between us and so we won’t be able to adopt this one unfortunately)

Any book recommendations to gift my cousin sister? She studied (masters) psychology and is a trained classical dancer.

Ladies, did you change your last name after getting married? I’m worried about the impact it will have on my publications.

Such a bad timing to find new position right now! I am sure I speak for a lot of us, but interviews started happening right before covid and now companies are delaying their process due to obvious reasons.

Has/would anyone in here marry someone outside their culture that is Muslim?

Does anyone here with kids feel like they are still in love with their spouse? All of my friends with kids say their relationships went south post kids and it makes me afraid to have kids myself.

What’s the typical range of base and total comp for Associate 1 & 2 at a RX group of an EB (but not Evercore or Centerview who have jaw dropping comp)? I know the ball park of numbers pre-COVID but wonder how big the movements have been after COVID and the last IB pay raise. Thank you!

My little brother is in law school and unsure whether to pursue a big law career. He’s ambitious, but wants a meaningful job that is not 24/7.

We have been blessed by financial support from family: By no means super rich, but he will leave LS with "only" 40k in loans, and owns a debt free apartment that pays his 1.5k mnthly mortgage.

He therefore doesn’t feel he "needs" big law money.

I’m in big law bc I’m a degenerate workoholic, while he has a life. Find it difficult to offer him advice.

Any news on vedder price? I’ve heard they didn’t fire anyone during COVID but have also heard it’s a sweatshop. Any insight to their litigation team would be helpful, thanks!

What advice would you have wished your young selves to know?

I love my parents but they squabble all the time. My mom nags and my dad gets angry. Then she talks back. If I say something, they yell at me. I am not looking forward to the holidays. I wish desi parents wouldnt do this.

Daycare recommendation in Ashburn for a 2 year old?

I've been avoiding breaking up with someone (I've been dating off and on for a year) for the past few weeks because I can't decide the best way to do it. We're not compatible long-term. He's not seeing anyone else and I've told him I'm seeing other people but he's starting to have relationship expectations for me since we reconnected a few months ago. Any tips for having the conversation? I'd prefer to do it via text but I know people say it's not appropriate and it should be over the phone.

Does your company have a Asian professional group? Since we are still in covid mode. What are you doing for the professional development classes / events. So we have done, Ask the recruiter, fireside chats w executive mgmt, events w Naaap and ascend. With everyone still working from home ppl are not engaged and it is harder for networking.
Let me know what other thing ppl are doing to drive engagement ?

AITK (Am I The Karen):

New neighbors moved in the past weekend so there was plenty of loud noise & banging, but I didn’t care about the noise. Today, it was louder than the weekend & one of their friends kid was running around screaming as I was trying to work, but I let it go. It’s 9pm & the kid is still sprinting all over & the banging is non-stop. I have young kids & make a point for them to not disturb my neighbors when they’re here. Am I being unreasonable to want quiet at 9pm on a Monday?

Is anyone using any Apps to follow symptoms of COVID-19 ?

I hate when you ask senior associates a question regarding an assignment they’ve assigned and you receive attitude-reply to the email vaguely without even addressing the email (example: “just complete the assigned, don’t worry about that”). Especially when the question/issue being ask is an important part of the assignment. It almost feels like I’m a bother for asking even though the associate(when assigning) said “feel free to ask any questions you may have while working on the assigned tasks”

How much hike one can expect when they move from one grade to another. For example from t2.1 to t2.2?

Hey fishes,

I got an offer for Amazon Business Analyst II (L5) and the TC is pretty disappointing. Is it because of the upcoming recession or did I just set my expectation too high? I was expecting a base of ~140K and this is what I got. Any thoughts and how to counter? :(

Base: $110K

Sign-on: $25K+$20K (two years)

Shares: 420 shares (vest in five years)

It’s suspicious how gas prices are lowering just in time for the midterms…

Just got an email about returning to the office this summer....Time to polish up the resume ✌️

🚀BNY current attrition rate is lower than the industry average and the rate of BNY ‘returnees’ [employees who return after shifting jobs] has also been encouraging.

Is this true? If yes, Anyone knows reason behind it ?

Anyone at Nike willing to chat? Please DM me, I have some questions.

What is your job title? As it right now I’m managing a team of product owners and I’m unofficially being called “Chief Product Owner.” I’m in the process of working with a coach to get my resume updated so I can begin applying for external roles. But I don’t even know what job titles to target.

How do you react when you’ve helped someone get a job v. When you reach out to them and they won’t help you? Happened to me so many times as a creative.

Age? Gender? Location? Fav food for suhoor and iftar? GO!

Has anyone tried halfourdeen for their marriage search? Wondering if it's worth the investment 🤔

Has/would anyone in here marry someone outside their culture that is Muslim?

AOA everyone! I am a Pakistani currently living in Germany. I am in the final stages of getting a transfer to Canada but can’t decide between Toronto or Vancouver. Both have high COL so I’m trying to weigh the pros and cons. I know Vancouver’s weather is a lot better than Toronto, but any recommendations from Canadians on the bowl?

Anyone here applying to top US business schools? Would love to DM you as I start planning for that next year. Feel like I’m not cut out for the M7 schools so hoping someone here can give me a reality check.

Feeling post Ramadan low, probably because I feel like I didn't get the most out of Ramadan

I feel like being a consultant has made my standards for finding a significant other go up astronomically lol now I expect them to be a similar standard as my coworkers which are smart, pretty, social and also same level of religiousness as me. I understand why everyone struggles to find an SO now

Suppose you die today and meet Allah (swt) and Allah Almighty asks you, “I gave you a good consulting career that provided you with halal income. How did you use it to benefit others?”

What will you say?

Ramadan Mubarrak to the entire Muslim Consultants Fishbowl. May you and your families have a blessed month.

The older I get and the more I think about raising my own children, I keep thinking how can parents frame religious duties like fasting as something to look forward to. I think volunteering as a family can help install the value of giving back and zakaat. How can one make Ramadan and Eid something to look forward to when holidays like Christmas seem to be purely joyous occasion that one doesn’t have to put in work for like fasting for Ramadan?
