Has anyone had luck finding black wedding dresses in the NYC area and can recommend shops or designers? Saw some Maggie Sottero ones I liked but they’re all really deep necklines and it’s a little much for me. Ty :)

First year review: I have to become a better legal writer/ writer in general. Writing was never a strong suit and this has to change.

Please drop book recommendations!!

Thoughts on: 1) the winning brief; 2) point made; 3) legal writing in plain English

New to area. Looking to make friends. 34yo male

Looking to fill an open manager role on a supply chain implementation team for fortune 15 company. Short implementation cycle (3weeks). Travel but flexible. Stress is much lower than consulting.

Just got another rejection... Is exiting to FAANG or MB really this hard? Trying to go tech.. or mbb, but not getting anywhere. I have 2 masters (mba, ms) from top schools, been in consulting for over 10 years, I am confident that I know my stuff well..but still I keep getting rejected. Interviewed with Google, Amazon, Cisco, McKinsey, and a few others and every-time there is something that is not a match... are the hiring managers looking for like 100% match? That will never happen!!!

Got an offer from MBB and they want me to start before summer 2021, is it possible to push it to later in the year like after Christmas 2021? I would come in the same level as me previous firm, so pretty much ignoring my past experience, not sure if that matters

Thank you FB family. After a two year hunt for the right opportunity, I am happy to announce that I have accepted an offer at FAANG (TC - 280) . The road wasn’t easy especially the last 2 months. I took the interview overseas (basically 2am - 3 am calls), was recovering from a surgery and finally contracted covid. I got some good advice from folks over here CONTD...

Anyone know about Vista Outdoor?

Anyone up for casing the the coming two weeks? I am looking for case partner with casing experience (20+ cases). Based in the East Coast and will have interviews at the end of the month

How does one decide whether to buy in a normal brokerage account vs. Roth IRA?

Leave it to a 2% dip in a day to send people panicking lol

A first for me, after 1.6 million miles. Thankful for a delay. The delay on the connector saved me a night at ord Hilton after the ludicrous delay on the first leg.t. Truly grateful united

My org will be pausing the Employer match to 401k for a few months. What's the best strategy to optimize my investment at this time?
Ride along/increase or decrease my percentage?

From stocks to crypto to NFT, which is the next big investment opportunity where we could be the early movers (investors) and make great returns? Love to hear them.

What's the best area to live as a twenty-something F, want to be somewhere safe and fun but affordable. Thanks!

Been lurking on this group for a while. I’ve only traded stocks ever. What’s the best way to start with options? Any great video tutorials or websites that can help me understand the basics. I only have theoretical knowledge of options thanks to a derivatives class I did at college.

I am a SC in Deloitte with 12 years of work ex. Amazon recruiter has reached out to me for a Sr. TPM role. I have already cleared HM round. My doubt is as I have heard work culture in Amazon is crazy. Would it be better for me to go for a TPM role instead of Sr. TPM. Not sure how the responsibilities differ between the two roles

Deloitte India or Publicis Sapient, which one should I choose. I have an offer with DI as senior consultant in consulting. Should I join DI or Publicis Sapient. Salary same

Any thoughts on Peter Millar suits? Quality, look, wear over time, etc..thinking of buying a couple while on sale at Nordstroms

Anyone do their own bridal makeup? Any advice or thoughts?

Looking for craft ideas for the first evening of a Bachelorette weekend getaway. All ideas welcome!

How many things are you guys adding to your registry? Are they at various price points?

Budget friendly bridesmaid proposals if you’d still like to give a small token in addition to a card?

We’re having a destination wedding and I feel selfish/silly for taking a honeymoon after. But I feel like if we don’t do it then we will put it off and it won’t really feel like a “honeymoon”. What would you do?

What is your total “wedding look” budget/est. spend? (Everything including dress, make up, jewelry, shoes, outfit changes, accessories, etc.). I have put so much emphasis on my looks (no regrets) and I actually just tallied up my spend and my head almost exploded. Frankly just seeking a little validation that I am not the only crazy person out there 🙃

Did you have someone doing hair/makeup for bridesmaids or did you have them do their own? And were you glad you made the decision you did? I’ve been in weddings both ways and trying to decide what I want to do

Are you paying for bridesmaid hair and make-up? Was a little sticker shocked $200 per person before gratuity, just adds up quickly with that many people😬 Not requiring it but wanted to offer it if they want to be more glammed up, but now seeing online that’s it’s considered quite rude to not cover it for them? Maybe just cover one and they can do the other if they want? Don’t want to be rude if it’s expected but also don’t want to blow our budget… any perspective on the “norm” appreciated!

Is it normal to feel depressed/lonely during wedding planning? I almost feel like I can’t talk about it since other people aren’t engaged and I feel like I’m rubbing it in their faces talking about it. So I have to keep everything to myself and it’s kind of stressful

For those who have already had their weddings, what advice do you have? Anything you could change?

How much did everyone spend on their wedding planner? We’re planning a Fall wedding in Europe with ~80 people and want a full service planner, have been quoted 9-15K and want to see if this is reasonable! TIA

How much did you spend on your wedding? Do you regret it? Also please share the location of your wedding if possible. Thank you!

If you have a lace wedding dress, would you get a lace veil or a beaded one? It's been hard trying to find similar/exact lace.

So, we have a wedding registry and my fiance and I would really like people to stick to gifting us what's on that registry. Yet, people keep asking what they should get us. The thought of dealing with a ton of crap we don't want or need is stressing me out. How can I politely tell people to only buy what's on the registry?

Can I do a mother of bride dress appointment the same time after my bride fitting? It'll just be my mom coming to the appointment. Or should I do hers right after I finish my appointment?

Is a hair and makeup trial really necessary? It seems like such a waste of money.

Wedding planner asked us about color palettes and we truly cannot pick/commit to any colors. Did anyone have a similar problem? Any advice?

Anyone unsure of what to do for bridesmaids “proposals?” I want them to get excited and feel special but when I see how much money I’d be spending on things like custom totes or mugs I’m like is it really worth it? I’d send cards but most of my bridal party I see pretty regularly/they live nearby so it seems odd to send them something when I live down the street. Help! 😅

Tux budget NYC?
