Hi fishes,
I have recently joined a product based startup and I'm unable to do tasks in the timely manner. I used to be productive before coming here and used to complete all the tasks before time. There is a lot of job insecurities coming in my mind, also there's a huge lifestyle change coming up in 4-5 months I'm getting married. Not sure how to deal with everything and expenses. What to do? All advices are welcome. Thanks

Ive been in a relationship for 7 months. We met 4+ years ago but it didn't go anywhere at that time. We kept running into each other throughout the years and stayed cordial. When we started talking again this time around, I had flat out asked him about many things including education. Contd.

I have ~900k ultimate rewards points and am hoping to use them to take my wife and <6 month old somewhere for a week before Xmas. Because of the baby/covid we’re not too keen in traditional hotels and/or anything that offers higher risk. I’m also sure most hotels wouldn’t want a young baby at their establishment anyway. Any point experts know how to use the UR points to book a house (like on Airbnb or VRBO) but still max that 1.5x benefit for booking travel with UR? Driving distance from nyc

Any recommendations for desi therapists (or anyone who can understand the desi culture)? Going through a ‘very desi situation’, felt it would be better to talk it out with someone who can understand, if not relate

I finally move out in two days and as the day gets closer, it gets so much harder. I love him and it hurts. Even right now, I’m still living with him and I’m in the living room watching tv and he’s working at his station. I think soon I’ll just be occupying my own time alone and not with the person I love. Idk how people do this.

I feel like being a consultant has made my standards for finding a significant other go up astronomically lol now I expect them to be a similar standard as my coworkers which are smart, pretty, social and also same level of religiousness as me. I understand why everyone struggles to find an SO now

How many married professionals with young families are just sticking it out “for the kids”? Marriage is very dead and has been for a while. Young kids 4 and 1. My wife and I don’t fight, but share 0 interests outside of the kids and can’t stand to be around each other. I’m so ready to leave… I just can’t bear the thought of doing it to my children even though another part of me feels like wife and I would both be better parents if our lives were separate. Anyone else done a similar analysis?

I had a recent loss in my immediate family. I feel like my boss does not believe me. He knew the family member had been in bad shape for weeks. Why do I feel the need to justify the loss to him?

A close work friend who just left my firm a few weeks ago blocked my number without telling me why. Before that when they left they had said to text them regularly to catch up. So I had been texting them with updates. Nothing bad at all. I guess the friend just didn’t want to deal with my regular updates but wish they had just told me not to send them instead of blocking (after all, they had requested them). It hurts. Anyone go through this?

My daughter’s softball team was supposed to play in a tourney last weekend but there weren’t enough teams entered so it got cancelled. Another team in another tourney needed an extra player so I said my daughter could pick up with them which guaranteed her to play at least 5 games with them Sat-Sun. The coach of her team scheduled 1 scrimmage game for Sat and I told him she couldn’t make it because she was picking up. The tourney ended early on Sun so I took her to her team’s practice (cont’d)

Hi all,

Got a bit of an odd request.

I'm a Project Manager at Sainsbury's based in Holborn and was wondering if anyone would be able to give me a tour of their London Big4 office?? I've never been in their office and I would like to visualise what I'm striving for. Willing to meet up for a coffee before hand or have an initial call. Coffee's on me!

TIA

Hi guys,

I need an advice/suggestion here. I got an offer from 2 different organisations and choose one among them (Role: Analyst) because of the culture and benefits. And the other offer has a good pay and good designation (Associate Consultant) rather than the one I choose. Now i feel very low due to this decision that I took. I feel like I have settled down for a lower package and a lower designation. Is there anything that I can do in the current organisation that I’ve joined at a week back

How should I approach switching accounts to my AD + GAD? I’m very interested in moving to another one of my GADs accounts, but I’m nervous to voice it since current account is in a rough state and they’ve mentioned numerous times how tremendous of a help I’ve been/immediate impact I’ve made. How can I adequately express how much I want this without seeming like I’m jumping ship?

To all the star junior and mid-level associates,
How did you become a go-to associate?

Associate at a regional big law firm in area where market has been impacted significantly by the recent salary bumps other firms have given to their associates in smaller offices. Our firm announced last week they would be providing market bumps for all associates but that only those associates who were “on pace” to bill their hours for the year by June 30 would qualify for the bump. Am I justified in feeling like this is completely ridiculous?

Any recommended resources to help me prepare for my first deposition?

What’s the word on Sidley NY M&A? Hearing a number of foreign associates so may be good for a local lateral?

My lady is a consultant and needs her team to turn the deck by EOD today so her and upper management can work this weekend on it. The young associate said, when is EOD bc technically the day has already ended (at 5pm).

😂😂😂 bless her little junior heart. As my old boss said, there are 24 hours in a day.

Sad truth …

How is it like acting for a lender on a PE financing? Is it really true that lender work develops you technically better than sponsor work?

What are the downsides to moving to a foreign office of a US firm? Does it pigeon hole your career? Want to do a few years at least abroad in Asia (UAE, Hong Kong, Singapore etc.) just to explore the world a little bit and potentially get that UAE tax free pay (not a US citizen but working in US BigLaw).

Law schools in Toronto - I am currently working as a Senior Auditor at EY & finished my CPA modules in less than 12 months & successfully passed CFE, September 2021 (Fasttrack) while working full time. I am really interested in getting into a top law school here in Toronto but unfortunately I had a low CGPA (3.15) from undergrad due to some unfortunate incident, mostly impacted my grades. I strongly feel i can score 170+ on LSAT; question DO I EVEN STAND A CHANCE TO GET INTO ANY LAW SCHOOL

Any other remote first years incredibly lonely? I have friends and family (single) but can pretty much only see them during the weekends, which go by way too quickly. Not much of a life….
