Do your kids go to public or private school? I'm meeting more and more parents around Austin who prefer private.

Moving to Chicago on Thursday! How do I like...make friends

3 months post breakup… I seemed to be healing well and all the sudden this week I took a huge step back and feel heartbroken all over again. For context I was in a 4 year relationship including 1 year engaged and had to call my wedding off due to his infidelity. How can I shake this? 😔

I'm planning to move with family to Kochi inorder to join in one of the company in infopark. Please suggest good place to get a flat or house to stay with small kids.

At what age as an EA did you marry, if at all? I find myself devoted to my career which leaves little time for a romantic relationship, especially during Covid. Hoping there is some balance to be found in this role!

How’s everyone holding up? For those of us who do 12 step meetings, I for one miss the hugs! We have to work harder now to stay connected as we are isolators by nature. Find time for you 🙏

What do people think about Yale Law pulling out of US News rankings? Is YLS on the decline? Having trouble placing their students in New York big law?

do any consulting firms in the US (MBB, Big 4) sponsor MBA programs outside of the country (e.g. London Business School, HEC Paris, INSEAD)

So my fiancé and I are having a microwedding in Rocky Mountain National Park next year, and we’re working with an elopement planner.
She sent over a sample ceremony (intro, sweet poems + passages to be read, and example vows), and we read through it last night. I was reading it out loud while my fiancé made dinner, and it just hit me that this is really happening. I’m just really happy that I found someone who is willing to take a vow to spend his life with me and I’m so excited for that day :)

Well guys, I got my heart broken - girlfriend broke up with me. Can’t focus or sleep at night. Don’t have many friends or family. What do I do?

I'm at a career juncture and have decided on a career in anti-money laundering as my new path. I'm also highly interested in additional education to further my career and am eyeing graduate school. Which is best? A law degree or a master's in international relations? Those are where my interests lie. I keep reading that JDs are valued in compliance but am wondering if a different graduate program is better for my goals. I already plan to obtain the CAMS certification. Thank you!

Does anyone else here have a hospitality management degree? Do you think it was worth it?

Anyone has an alternative to an Au Pair. Wife and I were looking forward to host an au pair but can’t go through the official program since we are not permanent residents yet. Anyone has an alternative besides traditional daycare? Maybe a friend of a friend? I am in NJ. Any ideas welcomed and needed!

So I moved out of the parents house, got my own place, got all the furniture put together started the first job... uh how do I make friends? Dare I say, maybe go on a date again? In Chicago have a couple friends in the city but no one really reliable at the moment

Relatively new to LA. Would love to meet more friends to do stuff. What do you guys do to meet more people? Found it hard to meet during Covid...

Have you ever been or currently in a relationship with someone of who’s political beliefs conflict with your own?

Not dealing with this currently have dealt with it in the past. My parents started out opposites but now believe similarly. I’m wondering if it is possible in this day and age.

Hi! I'm not a Lawyer/Attorney (yet!), but I am hoping to attend Law School next Fall. Currently studying for the LSAT and hoping to know how y'all were able to improve your LSAT score?

I got an email last night from a 7th-grade parent because her son said I mentioned the words "male privilege" in class, and she is very concerned about how that is related to ELA (she said "reading"), and she is concerned about this being taught in public schools. To be clear, I didn't do a lesson on this subject but we did discuss rights versus privileges. I've had multiple parents contact the school/get upset with me because of things like his. It's exhausting... Thoughts?

Been with my GF since college and we recently hit the 4 year mark. 1-2 years into our relationship I found out she had instances of micro-cheating (flirting with guys, talking to ex’s etc - but nothing physical) and we addressed it. To her credit and my knowledge, she’s been apologetic and great at respecting boundaries since, but I still feel the pain from her actions years ago (and have talked to her about it). Feeling lost about whether to just leave or to try and work things out

ZS 🐠 - can you receive sponsorship for MBA prior to having tenure of 3 years? If not, what is the downside of applying after 1 or 2 years? I am coming in with 3+ YOE in consulting, so my application would be competitive for next fall (or ‘23)

Has anyone transitioned from ad agency to PM? Any tips would be great!

Hi fishes,
I need guidance for EY GDS SaT_Strategy Hub_Senior Analyst. I have 1.5 Yoe but the role mentioned 3-6 yoe.
Is it still worth applying or is there any analyst role for this?
PS: experience post Tier 2 MBA

I’ve heard electric cars aren’t actually as clean as they make them out to be since the electricity they use is still being produced by coal-powered plants. To what extent is this true? Is the reduced environmental impact worth the investment at this point in their development?

Just a note that this is a good time to clean their AC coils. Just did mine and they were terribly dirty.

What the current market situation like for SAP TM consultants in USA and Canada?

Looking for companies that are willing to hire international candidates.

Thoughts on the NY town hall?

EY people - how does the payroll calendar work? If I start on a Monday and Friday of the following week will that be inclusive of a full two week or is there some timing difference?

What impact has the prestige of your school had on your career?

Any recent projects to share? I’ve got a few photos I’ll post today!

Have you ever snoop through your partner’s phone without them knowing? If so, did you find anything shocking?!

Does anybody know what the typical salary range is and total comp for someone starting out as an internal or external wholesaler? If you are one of these, can you share about your experience in terms of whether you liked it or not, work life balance, travel, etc?

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.

As variable pay tenure in #EY is from July to June so if we are in notice period and my last working day is last day of August, so will i will be able to get the VPB for this year?

Hi all! I just moved to Austin and know absolutely no one. If you’re in your mid to late twenties and are interested in adding a queer girl to your friend group, let me buy you a drink! Shameless, I know, but you gotta do what you gotta do. My interests include Michigan football, bar hopping, water sports, and real estate 🙂

Anyone looking to move to southeast Austin soon?

Been in Austin for a while now and have never dated but would like to start. Any tips/suggestions on where to find quality people? (F, 28)

Planning to be in town for work. I want to visit lake Travis, 360 bridge and Barton springs. Will I be able to get an Uber from those spots? Open to general suggestions too! Don’t worry it’s just a temporary visit 😏

Anyone have any Back/Spine specialist recommendations in the ~Central Austin area? Needing a second opinion beyond my ortho and curious where people have had positive experiences.

What investment shops are hiring in Austin?

Good afternoon!

I am in the process of transitioning from South Florida to Austin and am looking for advice finding opportunities in the area.

Any help would be appreciated!

Just want to say that I've learned a lot in this bowl! Really grateful for people posting questions, do's and don'ts and for the community responding!

My partner and I bought our home back in 2020. We got a good deal, low rate. But we want to move into a more spacious SFH. However, as we all know this market is crazy. Everything we want costs $620k+ and bc of rates it makes our mortgage estimates $3500+. We are currently paying $2k. And it looks we need to sell the house simultaneously as look for a new one or our contingency isn’t as attractive. I know it’s based on personal circumstances. But what would you do? - not move, sell and buy?

Is it possible to live in Austin without a car? Moving down for a few months from Dallas but don't plan on bringing a car.

For 🐠🐟 that live in the Circle C area, is there really a difference between Circle C proper vs. the surrounding neighborhoods (e.g. Circle C North)? Or are we basically just paying a premium for the name?

(We're waiting for prices to come down like a lot of people here, and the hubs is very focused on being within Circle C proper 😮‍💨.)

Considering making the move from distressed investing/special situations to consulting, particularly pe consulting for the following reasons: more team-oriented, structured career path, more variety, etc. Thoughts?

Does anyone want to get brunch this weekend?
Finally settled into the city and have the time and desire to keep up with social calendars!

Don’t work at Deloitte anymore, if that matters!

Good place for a Colorado, lift with wheels and tires

Are there any good networking groups?

I found an Austin young professionals group, but it’s almost entirely realtors and loan people. Which is fine, but I’m looking for more typical networking professionals groups.

I liked the Project management institute, but I’m looking for more. Either General professional, finance, tech, or healthcare focused ones would be ideal.
