Matching his and her watches? Depends on how much you want to spend though.

I just dont remember the anniversaries and sometimes the birthdays! And then when she reminds me then I take her for a dinner on the following weekend. It has worked out so far.

BAH2: Are you the SO? If not, then maybe consider not typing? Not everyone is “yayyyy” about their birthdays.

I know it’s tough to understand for you but there are couples who are okay with one of them forgetting their own / SO’s birthday / anniversary :)

Buy her a nice car

We did an adults-only vacation for a combination of our 10th anniversary and my wife's 40th (the 2 dates are 3 weeks apart). She doesn't wear jewelry and isn't into fashion, makeup, accessories, cars, or really anything consumerist, so trips or things that will make her life easier (e.g. I got her a tablet so she could pull up recipes in the kitchen while experimenting with her latest culinary idea) are really the only things she likes.

Our 15th is coming up next year and we're going to take the family on a 2 week tour of the UK.

As a somewhat amusing anecdote, I got her a spa day certificate for Christmas a few years ago and she still hasn't used it, so clearly that's not her thing, either.

A big O

Rising 2nd year here: been rethinking my choice as an M&A attorney. I've had a rough go of it over the first year-and-a-half of practice and am thinking about moving to a different practice area. I'd like to stay on the transactional side, but am not quite sure what areas I can leverage my corporate and M&A skills in. I was thinking T&E (i.e. business succession planning, etc.)

Would greatly appreciate input from others.

Does anyone know whether there’s a red tape type reason an associate couldn’t transition to fully remote in another state? I work in New York office but team based in Charlotte office so already technically remote but considering a move to a state where we don’t have an office. Partner wouldn’t care so wondering if there’s potential admin/tax issues.

HR opinion: Do I have any leverage as a hospital nurse case manager in negotiating earned time? I have 15 years within the organization, left for 10 months to be remote during the pandemic while sorting out childcare as immunocompromised family helped. Now HR is restarting my ET as a new employee. I realize I left, but not on bad terms and I am an exemplar and respected employee. I thought I’d have the upper hand with the nursing shortage but I’m getting the “rules are rules” response. Help!?!

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
