I'll switch to a startup as the only data engineer and will closely work with all the Head ofs + the CTO.

Does anyone think mortgage interest rates being so low right now is going to cause another housing disaster in the future? Like too many people flooding to buy because rates are so low, but then not being prepared for it in the long run? Just curious honestly

Thoughts on mezcal as a smoky alternative to whiskey, for those who can't get into whiskey?

USCIS set itself a 6 month goal to process 140/485 each. Has anyone noticed things speeding up? Mine was filed concurrently in March this year and wondering if I can expect my GC this year or wait until next year. For context, Deloitte filed my EB1C based on a previously filed EB2 application (approved 140). I cannot expedite my new 140 under premium since it’s EB1C

Does signing an initial loan disclosure bind you to the lender? Is it ok to sign two different initial loan disclosures from different lenders and back out of one based off of what the final closing costs end up being? I know it sounds ridiculous but I’m having trouble deciding between lenders and there may be some additional credits one of the lenders may provide down the line.

Do Engagement Managers at these niche Workday firms do any configuration work at all or is it just a Project Management type of a role?

Wish I could post in this bowl. But I work in an office where literally NO ONE talks. Like I might as well be at home by myself. In my pajamas. 🤦🏼‍♀️

I’m an asian woman and I’ve struggled with my appearance. Yesterday, I asked my boyfriend what other people would rank me as and he said perhaps and 8 or 9/10 but he said I see you as an 11/10 but you shouldn’t be asking these types of questions. I got really sad that I’m not perfect and I just broke yesterday. I know ranking is very middle school. Ive asked my boyfriend too many times for validation idk what to do I just feel ugly asf. A lot of times I wish I weren’t an asian woman:(

What are your go-to colors for a fall wedding? Everything I'm finding is either too summer-y or not formal enough.

This is not a true consulting post but a relationship advisory post!

Me 31and my boyfriend 30 have been dating for 2.5 years now.I feel like I'm ready to get engaged but he always says he feels pressure and he only wants to marry if ever he feels it is the right time to do it. I've given him hints since last 6 months and he said he is now thinking about it but he feels pressure. So today I told him I won't ask him ever but if my patience wears off I'll go away..what do you think I should do?🥺

What would you say to your 75yr old mom if she: went to a wedding saturday 5/7 where people then got covid, went to a funeral that tuesday w symptomatic people from the wedding (knowingly), the people then tested positive, then my stepdad tested positive, and the next day my mom insisted she go visit my grandmom at her retirement place, where she fibbed the covid questions? Just ignore her blatant selfishness? Call her out? This is typical. I think she might be a narcissist. Just realizing this.

Ladies, I read someone else’s post about love bombing below and I can’t get it out of my head. I’m in a ~1 year relationship, my SO continues to be very affectionate + surprise me with things, but I’m seeing his impulsive reactions to small issues or fights and can’t help but think there’s a bigger issue... any advice on how to proceed / decipher my situation unemotionally?

Okay really random and maybe I’m overthinking but I’m on a team with all men under the age of 35. Somehow we ended up talking about manicures/pedicures bc a couple of them admitted to having gotten a pedicure before and I made a comment like “Ugh I hate people touching my feet” and made a face. Then the three of them all looked at each other and radio silence and then one said “Anyway” and switched topics. Did I say something strange? My first thought it something about a foot fetish?

Ladies! Looking for desk decor inspiration. I just got a desk that goes in my living room & would like to style it up. Can you please share your desk pics?

Got tested twice for Other High Risk HPV within the past 6 months (thought the first was a fluke so was told to get re-tested) and now I feel my anxiety skyrocketing when I’m already extremely stressed out. I know it can clear by itself in 1-2 yearsand like 80% of people have it with no symptoms but my mom and I seem to always be in that 1% of medical patients where we experience symptoms. Also my health insurance is changing at the end of the month so I’m now worried money-wise too 😭😭😭
