Do you ever feel slightly superior to your friends because you have a cooler job or make more money? Honest answers only.

Any 40+ women here interested to make new friends? 40+ man here.

I'd love to see stats on divorce rates in NYC Big Law vs. general population

AITA: My friend keeps asking me for financial advice. I set up a budget for her and have her concrete advice. And I field all of her investing questions. But still, she continues to be reckless with her money. She’s 42, single (no kids), and making $100k+ and is still living check to check.

I don’t want to waste my breathe on helping her since nothing seems to be getting through to her. AITA?

Anyone else feeling pressure from Asian parents to find a significant other to get married and have kids?

People that have small children - how do you deal with your child’s stress and separation anxiety when you go to work? My 4-year old goes berserk almost every day at some point relating to me having to work. The worst part is that I’ve been working from home bc of Covid and I’m literally just walking upstairs after giving hugs and kisses and saying see you soon 800 times. My spouse is a stay at home parent, but that doesn’t seem to matter to my son. A piece of me dies everyday because of this.

I don’t feel connected to my parents at all. After spending 15 years here, I am unable to connect to their extreme right nationalist views and the extra emphasis on the connection to our roots.

How many folks here looking to actually connect for serious relationship (potentially converting to marriage)?

I’ll start 🙋🏻‍♂️ 30, located in the US (east coast) - open to worldwide relocation.

Spending a weekend with my fiancé’s family out of town and quite literally my future FIL burps out loud 10x a day with no shame and his mom is a narcissistic monster in law just have no clue how these bizarre ppl created such a lovely person in my fiancé. Don’t need advice, just want to bitch. Can anyone relate??

Do you ever get over an ex you loved?

How do you balance your social life with work? I feel like all my non-law friends are out doing shit every night and living it up on the weekends and I just can't. I'm either working or I'm tired from working. How can I set better boundaries about working outside of work, and where do y'all get the motivation to be outside after work 😭

Any moms on here that absolutely love their company and feel 100% supported?

Anybody willing to help a broke kid out with some mock interview prep?

Comforting others:
When someone tells me bad news regarding their health, I say everything I am supposed to say (I’m sorry to hear that, I’m here for you, etc) EXCEPT “everything is going to be ok”. Because I can’t guarantee that and I really don’t know if everything is going to be ok. I was taken aback recently when a friend told me I am calloused and cold-hearted for not being able to say those words. Is she right? Should I start saying this for the purposes of providing comfort only??

Moving in 5-6 months..when do I give notice?
.
Decided to move out of state after this school year for my kids. I have a good job and a good boss. I don’t want to just drop a two weeks notice because relocating my whole family has obviously taken some time to plan. What’s a good way to be very professional and keep my work relationships in a good note.

Partners, how have you managed to balance the work, obviously substantial, and your family? I see many with stay-home SO, but wondering if it is possible to prioritize family if your SO has a demanding career

Dropped off my kids to school this morning and just felt unsettled. It’s so hard to concentrate on work today.

Any other lonely social workers in here? I mean a lot to some of the people on my caseload but that's about it. Don't have any family near me and it's hard to make friends with non-SW's mostly just because I'm too tired after work to want to do much. Do you spend most of your time alone or is your social time self care for you? Just feel like I don't have a support system!

Any suggestions for getting kids to do homework? Sped Math 6th grade high need area - I cannot get these kids to turn in hw. Anyone agree with the idea of allowing class time for HW? I am at a loss

Audit lay off people during recession ?

I got into marketing because I thought it would be an opportunity to make good money in a field where I could still exercise my creativity, but I’ve found it to be extremely stifling and bogged down by bureaucracy. Does it ever get better?

Thoughts on this trade?

I get Derek Carr and Darren Waller
I give Tom Brady and Mike Gesicki

How hard is Haas to get into?

Received AD from NYU Stern Tech MBA. The deposit is due in 2 weeks. Interviewed with Kellogg 1Y as well and waiting for decision. Definitely prefer Kellogg. Should I contact K for their decision?

Heading to an M7 soon from a tech company where I work in a product-adjacent position. I didn’t need this degree to “break into” product management (former company would have let me transition), but I still figured it could be good for the long run.
Now when thinking about 100K in loans, I feel anxious about not getting a PM role after. Was this the right move?

How’s the freelance producer market doing these days? Busy, slow?

I just finished directing and producing a short film and I’m try to secure the rights for the Christmas song “jolly old Saint Nicholas” by ray smith on Columbia records for it.

Any idea where I could secure the rights to this song for festivals and online? (I’m only needing to use 45 sec of the song)

Thanks in advance

Any charismatic churches with a decent group of young professionals in Philly?

As a Black woman in the military, how did you learn to deal with the policing of your hair?

I've been Donald Trump my entire life, and I look at all the damage I've done to the country, the ways I've disrespected the people, the Constitution, the office, and the nation, and I have no choice but to vote for Biden.

I’m struggling. I left an agency I liked last year due to growth limitations and since then I’ve worked at 2 different agencies and can’t seem to find my footing. The first one seemed like a good fit at first but then it turned out to not be the best place for me so I left. At my current agency I feel super undervalued. I’m always raising my hand and offering to help where I can and no matter what I do, I don’t feel utilized or valued or part of the team.It’s really taken a toll on my confidence

For everyone I reject in an interview: I secretly wish we can have a feedback session and I secretly wish you find something that fits you like a glove. And I mean it when I say it: all the best.

I only focus (obsess) on the bad parts of my review, even though the rest was glowing. Why?!

Mr. Manager is posting again y'all 🤡

What’s the best/most effective message you’ve gotten from a stranger wanting to network on LinkedIn? The worst?

Turned down a gig at Apple two years ago because I saw a lot of growth opportunities at my current company and saw the position as a step back (even though it was more money) and have regretted it ever since. Still in the same exact position at the same company I was then btw. Bad choice.

After a year and a half of recruiters not responding and no job prospects I’ve finally got a call back - for a barista job. I guess advertising is not for me. Back to what I did in college

I’m about to switch jobs to my company’s main competitor and move to a new city and I’m so anxious and worried I’m making the wrong choice, anyone else ever get cold feet after signing an offer?

Wow hate the overuse of “from a ______ perspective"

If everything is “asap”, nothing is “asap”

I have over 20,000 unread emails in my inbox.

Who has made the leap from working/living in the US to abroad? Any words of advice?

Parents - do any of you truly regret having kids?

I can smell your desk from the bathroom

Sometimes I don't uphold the company mission 😱

The turkeys nest is where you find inspiration

It makes me intensely uncomfortable when I hear people who should know better misusing the word “myself.” As in “please cc Kate and myself on your email.”

It's freezing tonight bitter cold. I just ordered Chinese and I'm not sure if that was a shitty thing to do. I think they need to make money so if no one calls that wouldn't be good. I did tip well

I make poor decisions

I get so frustrated and annoyed when people make stupid common sense mistakes and I think it’s starting to affect my relationships. Don’t really know what to do.
