Getting into the military helped my feeling of abandonment due to my father's absence. It sounds funny, but being in the military showed me another type of parenthood that I needed.

Should you gift your GF who has kids but not with you something for Mother’s Day? 👀 if yes what’s a good gift that’s not over involved ? (Not flowers or chocolates 🙄).

Girlfriend has very obvious high functioning anxiety and body image issues that she admits but thinks she doesn’t need therapy or medication and that reading self-help books will help her. It’s not changing in the last several years and it’s impacting our relationship. Anyone have experience with their SO dealing with untreated anxiety? I know I can’t control her but would like to express my feelings without sending her into a spiral. For context, I’ve been in therapy for 12 months and medicated

Is it expected/normal to get pregnant spouse Mother’s Day gift?

Is it normal to pay for monthly OB visits while pregnant? I have BCBS and thought they would be covered 100%?

Hey everyone. I found out we are expecting our first child and I’m really nervous. I got into consulting one year ago and I’m up for promotion this year. With timing of our performance conversations I would have to inform I’m pregnant before outcomes - then shortly after the promotion effective date I would go on a leave for due date. I’ve worked really hard and I’m worried our wonderful news will throw chances with this :(- also if I don’t get promoted pretty sure it’s up or out. Any advice?

Happy Mother’s Day! How can employers better accommodate working parents?

People who grew up with dads who weren't often around because of work -- how did it impact your relationship with your dad? Do you guys get on well, are you close?

My girlfriend is willing to break off our entire relationship because she found out my mom doesn't approve of her. We have no issues between each other but she said she can't be with someone who's family doesn't like her.

My husband and I want to buy a condo in Chicago in a year. We are close to having a down payment plus closing and emergency funds in a HYSA but are still a 8 months to a year away from buying. I feel like we are losing money by keeping it in cash but it is the safest option. Is that true?

I’m a mid-level, big law, tech attorney, moving abroad to France. Trying to get a work remote abroad job in-house - any suggestions of companies to apply to?

I wanted to see how many of y’all have an MBA and whether it’s worth considering. Does anyone have insights on this?

Has anyone who's worked in HR, Finance, or another role with visibility to compensation information been able to use that as leverage for salary negotiations?

To put it bluntly, I know certain people with less experience and a lower performance rating are getting paid more than me due to my role working with payroll data. I suspect this was due to the fact that I did not counter offer when I accepted this role, which was a few months ago, and now I regret it.

Hi everyone

Is it okay to try for more offers in the notice period?
I am feeling like why I am doing this but at the same time want to best offers.
And also thinking how should I convey if I didn't join the company even after negotiating and asking for a counter offer based on another offer.
Please advise and suggest.

Thanks

Are people still buying Bitcoin at these levels?

Hey all! I currently have 2 YOE at Deloitte and have an S& offer for A2. I’m pushing back for A3 level instead. Anyone had any luck negotiating this in the past? Do Experience hires typically come in at A2 instead of A3? Also, was given a sign on of $10k. How does this compare? Thanks in advance! 😊

Anyone here that can give insights into hours and wlb in Deloitte Consulting (finance and performance) in Dubai? Curious to hear honest answer on how much work is expected there.

Partners, is it okay to send a deliverable without your review?

I don't know if it was only me, but I felt I couldn't truly trust any of my mates on deployment. Am I the only one?

What do you think you would be doing if you hadn't joined the military? I think I would have been a math teacher or a farmer

When (if ever) did you start seeing your drill instructor as a real person who felt compassion for the recruits?

How did you guys go through boot camp? Did you do any special training?

How different are the physical requirements for men vs women? I'm thinking of the Navy specifically but would welcome insights from any branch of the military, thanks

I feel like I haven't seen the results of our efforts. The Middle East is still a mess. There's a war in Europe we won't take part in. Does anyone else feel this way?

Can one become financially stable after being discharged from the military?

For those that have been in awhile and looking closely at retirement. Are you switching careers or if you did how did it go? What advice would you give someone four years out from retirement?

How do you quiet your mind? I find my mind still races at night and I have trouble sleeping

Hey Everyone ! Many greetings from me

Many movies romanticize the sacrifice of one soldier and leave them as a hero, but I have always thought that I hate that. Why would someone need to lose his life to be a hero? I believe the mere fact that we put our life at risk in service is enough to be a hero

We as the armed forces of the United States have a research department, but the greatest advances at the armament level come from private sectors, this could not be something counterproductive because if they sell a product to us, what deprives them of selling it to other countries?

Curious...what did you find to be the most challenging part of bootcamp?

I always have faith that everything will make sense, and we will move into a better era. Sometimes it's challenging to maintain that faith, but it's always there.

I'm not sure if I love this life! I was entirely sure when I decided to enroll in the military, but after a few months, I felt exhausted. Could I have made a mistake?

Was discharged from the military in my first year due to a dislocated shoulder… life sucks sometimes!

Are there a lot of openly gay male soldiers?

Is the military a well-paid career? I’m asking for my future.

How do you deal with PTSD from deployment?

If given the choice, would you join the miltary again?
