Congrats on the move. Just realize working in government has its own set of issues and challenges. It’s no nirvana.

I suppose I’m considered an ABCD but I was born in India so I am hoping you fish will be able to understand: lately, I’m really struggling to make conversation with my own dad. It originally started with him telling me I should get married which led to me keeping a distance from him. Throughout my whole life my dad has basically been the one to be the rational voice - telling me to study, to work hard, to go to grad school, and encouraged all those things. Conversations always centered around what I had to do and they were less friend-like. It also doesn’t help that Indian dads don’t take vacation, don’t like to do “fun” things. Are any other fish struggling with this?

So today was my first day on a stimulant (diagnosed as an adult), and everyone says its suppose to feel like *boom* magic, or normal (?) , I guess.

But I mean, somedays I do that...I just don't want to psyche myself out if I'm expecting too much. Or pscyhe myself in if I actually might not be experiencing what I should.

What's the norm of calling your Managers/Counselors in EY GDS? I'm used to calling everyone by their first name in my previous organization, but here I'm seeing people calling managers and seniors managers "Sir".
