Expecting dad. Nice to be on here.

Looking for advice from anyone that worked at a large company in product management and switched either to a startup or a smaller company, or even to another large company. I find myself getting very frustrated with process getting in the way of progress. Is this true of all large companies? And is it better to have the ambiguity of no process at all at a smaller company?

Hi there, what's the most widely used video editing software in the industry?

I'm using iMovie and it doesn't do much

Has anyone done laser skin treatment or skin resurfacing? I have minor lines around my eyebrows (outer, not middle), and forehead. Any advice? I don’t think I want to do Botox but I’ve otherwise looked at maybe microneedling.

Would leaving Big 4 for regional firms likely cause me to work fewer hours?

Has anyone found that not using PayPal decreases conversion rates? Weirdest thing ever.

Here comes Uncle Sam asking for $10k transfer reports...let’s see.

Would it be a faux pas to ask a recruiter to connect me with a recruiter for another area? Applied for a tax role and was turned down in favor of an internal candidate, but told to reach out if I found something I was interested in. I'm very interested in some data science roles, but wondering if the request would make me look undesirable. Ideally, I do want to pivot to data science.

Thoughts on B&A?

What's the longest or shortest time to stay in a role or company?

Recently interviewed for a senior UI design job and was tasked to do a skills test - to look into their product and find areas of improvement.

The more I do the task, the more I feel that I’m doing a free design audit. Furthermore, they reposted the ad.

In my task, must I proposed a new design or would it be just a list of areas of improvements? How many is a good number of finds? Currently, each area is coupled with a write up and what competitors are doing.

Hi Fishes,

Thank y’all for starting this bowl! Newly expecting mama here 🤰🏾I’ll be 11 weeks tomorrow! My husband and I are praying that I give birth to healthy 🤴🏾 or 👸🏾. I look forward to learning from this group!

Am I tripping? Everyone loves calling my daughter (2 months) "lil chocolate drop" or "look at all that chocolate". I love my daughter's complexion, not only because it's mine, but because it's beautiful. However, I can't help but feeling like ppl "other" or make it weird by avoiding saying dark. Calling her dark is acceptable and appreciated. I know "chocolate" comes from a place of affection, but I just can't embrace it 💯.

Seeing local parents reacting to the public school lottery results in DC, got me super nervous about when it’s my kids turn.

I hate the idea of having so little control.

Hi Parents, need recommendation for taking care of kids hair. My kids are mixed race and their hair gets easily tangled to the point where we spend an hour to untangle the mess. Hair is also dry and the conditioner and or oil doesn’t seem to help. What are some of your go to products and routine? TIA

New Dad here. 8 weeks in and I don’t feel the imagined bell and whistles of fatherhood. Is this normal?

Anyone have kids that struggle with night terrors?

My daughter had one for the first time last night and it scared the crap out of me. It was like she didn’t know who I was.

My 5 year old son demanded a haircut because he doesnt like his curly hair. Its too curly. He wants hair thats like Fletcher's. (Fletcher is his white friend from day care). My son and his sister are the only blacks at the day care. I dont know how to broach the subject with him.

Ladies, any suggestions our 8th anniversary gift for the wife? We are in our early 30s. I am running out of ideas over the year 😔.

Any of the sisters deal with gestational diabetes but already had a restrictive diet pre and during pregnancy?
Doctor says I have it, but I honestly don’t believe them. I don’t eat cane sugar (not even in sauces), gluten, dairy, or soy. So not surprised I couldn’t process their drink-I don’t consume stuff like that regularly. I walk a mile or do HIIT training 5x/ week. The condition doesn’t run in my family (and my mom has 4 sisters w/kids-good sample size) (cont’d in comments)

Potential unintended consequences of my parenting decisions is the most stressful thing ever.

The “right” approach can feel so clear one moment, then feel like a huge mistake the next.

Talk to me about discipline. What age did you really start laying down the law? Im patiently waiting out the terrible twos but at some point will need to reign it in if this continues...

Where can I get good and affordable baby clothes 0-3 months?

Do any parents have a Lovevery discount code? Also, are there other similar services I should look it? Our LO is due in 3 weeks. So, I want to get him off to a good start.

Any homeschool parents in the group?

How much per week/month do you spend on daycare?

Thanks all for this group. 1st time expecting dad 🧔🏾.

I’m a little bit all-over the place and not sure where to start financial planning from.

I live in a Tier-1 city and think it’s necessarily to move to Tier-3. It’s important that my kids grow up in a house vs. apartment. Also need to stretch my dollar as far as possible.

Total comp - $180K

How much should I budget for the 1st year of baby?

I am a city boy but good god why are schools in the city not good. I’m personally against private school and am a product of nyc public schools and I came out fine but idk g
