Do you send a wedding gift if not attending a wedding? (I always have, under traditional Emily Post principles.)

Any chance SG rental prices will be coming down soon ? I'm returning to SG after 3 years abroad and debating staying at figment or hmlet for a few months before locking down a 2 year lease.

How's the hours, barriers to entry, and scene in general for consulting here in Singapore? Considering a career change but could only find info on US/EU

Happy short month

Having one of the worst weeks of my life but my bosses would flip if I used a personal day. Meanwhile in the office I’m getting bitchy emails and attitude per usual. How does one deal / stay sane?

Has anyone ever felt like some of the feedbacks you received is because you are Asian? Like i keep being told that I sound unsure, unconfident and not poised enough.. I've been told once that I didn't have enough presence on a call but.. I did the presentation so I talked 90% of the call..

Which one is better to join in terms of learning and work life balance.

Moved over to a review system called 15Five. It allows you to review your manager. I gave my manager a terrible review. The catch is: they get to “anonymously” see your reviews. Bad move?

Willing to refer to Deloitte USI F&EP. Message me if you are interested.

Know I’m just being insecure, but it bothers me when my girlfriend consciously dresses super hot to get attention (we’re in long distance right now). She treats me a bit differently on days like this - slightly less interested in my day, slightly less wanting to talk. Kind of unsettles me but not sure how to fix it/my own perception

Anyone here diagnosed with gum disease (periodontitis)?? What’re you doing to improve your gum & general oral health? Any recs for toothpaste / mouth wash? Thank you!

I know it’s invitation only and maybe a long shot, but anyone know how to join the JPM Healthcare conference? At least a couple of sessions? I remember seeing some link for one event on Linkedin...

I’m working at an insurance defense firm, trying to target my practice to L&E. I’m overworked and underpaid, but gaining valuable experience I hope to pivot toward an eventual in-house counsel position. I recently was offered an opportunity to lateral to a national firm for a significant pay increase (150% salary increase, much better benefits, hybrid WFH options). Problem-I would be shifting gears to Toxic Tort. I’m torn between my passion and the money. I’m a second year associate. WWYD?

Any advise for wrist pinch pain? (Not looking for the surgery route). I also have an ergonomic keyboard.

How does everyone feel about the online SHRM learning for SHRM-CP and SHRM-SCP for Certification?
Do you skip around? Do you follow the path? Where does one start?

Hey Fishes,
Can you help me with test and interview process related information for Analyst roles

Hi,

I have joined Amazon as a Support Engineer(L4) but quite eager to move into a SDE Role. I’m currently unable to figure out a roadmap for the same.

Does Amazon provide any set of resources for upskilling?

What areas to focus on considering myself being a beginner to coding/design stuff & the big question Where to start?

Thanks Again :)

We’re having an Indian wedding on a Sunday with ceremony in the morning, followed by lunch, and then cocktail hour + reception.

Given that the wedding starts early, we will have guests (~30) flying in the day before. What is the expectation in terms of arranging dinner for them? We’re trying to avoid having an additional event Saturday night - any idea on if these guests would need to have food arranged for them by us and what that could look like on a cost effective budget.

Should I invite fewer people to a destination wedding or will people just naturally decline?

What gift did you get your spouse on your wedding day?

Anyone else’s mom driving them crazy about mother of the bride dresses? Wedding is a little over a year out 😂 Any store recommendations for MOB dresses?

Typical prices for wedding photography in a high cost of living city? (San Francisco) 2 photographers, 8 hours, no travel. Much appreciated! ❤️

Hi everyone - We are thinking of changing our wedding photographer after unsatisfactory engagement photos and unsatisfactory communication (unresponsive after multiple attempts). We paid a $450 retainer which we know will be not refundable. However, we are not sure about other liability as we read our contract and found these 2 clauses (in comments). Please advise! Definitely not happy with her and would like to switch to another one but also want to make sure we make the right move. Thanks!

Budget question! How much are you estimating spending per guest? This includes food/alcohol/venue, etc

Is a hair and makeup trial really necessary? It seems like such a waste of money.

What is your total “wedding look” budget/est. spend? (Everything including dress, make up, jewelry, shoes, outfit changes, accessories, etc.). I have put so much emphasis on my looks (no regrets) and I actually just tallied up my spend and my head almost exploded. Frankly just seeking a little validation that I am not the only crazy person out there 🙃

How much did everyone spend on their wedding planner? We’re planning a Fall wedding in Europe with ~80 people and want a full service planner, have been quoted 9-15K and want to see if this is reasonable! TIA

Any recommendations for good videographers in NYC/Tri-State? A lot of the affordable ones I find make the cheesiest videos. I’ve certainly found some good ones but very expensive. I know you get what you pay for, but there has to be someone reasonably priced out there that delivers quality work. I am splurging on the photographer so this would just be an extra.

Did you do any self care the night before your wedding to prepare for the big day?! 🤍

We decided to do a photo session before the wedding for the two of us and family. The photographer and the location were amazing but the makeup was terrible, and because I was low on time, I couldn't fix it before the photos. The makeup artist make me look yellow! Idk if there's anything that could be done at this point, but feeling so disappointed :(

For those who have already had their weddings, what advice do you have? Anything you could change?

Any tips on making a small wedding feel intimate and special versus tiny and boring?

Considering getting highlights and/or extensions for my wedding. Is it worth it? Or is it a bad idea to update your hair for the wedding?

Thoughts on inviting co-workers to your wedding? I joined a new team a year ago during the pandemic and haven’t met them in person - I’ve developed some cordial working relationships but not sure if I’d consider them wedding close! Any thoughts or advice?

Have you talked about your wedding with coworkers? I made the mistake of saying I had to leave work a little early one day because I was going to do a tasting at my venue. That starts a debate on why one shouldn’t get married, how much wedding costs & what a waste it is, dresses are stupid because you only wear them once, etc. I haven’t talked about my wedding much, but I didn’t appreciate this. I ignored the negative comments and we moved the conversation along. Not talking about that anymore!
