Here’s me. I’m 40 years old and TTC my first child.

A friend of mine was arrested last night over a DUI charge and his family is worried sick. How can I help comfort them...

My wife is incredibly stressed out and unhappy in her career. It’s been affecting our marriage significantly. I just had a conversation with her where I asked her to stay home and I said I’ll fully support her. It seems like she took it well.

Any suggestions on how to save a alcoholic spouse?

I was married for 3 years & she left 1 day bc she realized that she was no longer “happy”. A week later, I caught her in a parking lot w/ her coworker & finalized the divorce. In my mind she was perfect in every way except for the infidelity. After 8 months of therapy and on and off dating, I got into a new relationship but I became commitment phobic & see flaws when I compare my ex to my new gf. 1yr has passed now and I still feel like I’m settling and not mad in love. Wwyd? 2y since divorce.

Which offer is better?
€100K per year in Netherlands (with 30% ruling) OR
45000 AED / month in Dubai?

For a family with a kid.
Tech stack: SRE/DevOps/ Cloud architect
People staying in Europe and dubai please comment.

My priorities: Long term stay, better education , quality life, location with better security, law n order and less hussels.

What are we supposed to do with our kids during Winter break when school is closed for TWO WEEKS and we need to hit our billables?

Any parents who are still on the safe side with Covid? We have a 1 year old and being safe and staying mostly home is really getting to me. Most of our friends have kids who are able to mask up or are vaccinated and it’s getting quite isolating. Especially now mask mandates are being lifted feeling like we can’t go anywhere without risking our kid.

My father is visiting us for 6 months. He takes insulin injections daily . Anyone know good way to get insulin injections to us they need constant refrigeration, or if he can buy them in US.

Hi Guys,

Comments pls ..

Seriously don't know how to get a boyfriend as an IB analyst, most people who are in a relationship started dating since college. Really don't want to be single when I'm 30•••

Looking to switch jobs and maternity leave policy is an important factor for me. Would love to hear about some companies that have generous mat leaves vs. others that don’t. Can you all share what you know?

Anybody single in their late 30s / early 40s given up on marriage? How do you see your life progressing? What do you do day-to-day to cope with loneliness?

How do you earn $500k and still feel average?

EY, what is the current maternity leave policy? Does the firm allow leave starting at 38 weeks? Is disability (6-8 weeks) separate from parental leave (16 weeks)? When is full eligibility - after 12 months of employment?

Anyone who said no to a prospect because of personal reasons? Going through a rough patch and would really appreciate some advise on how to do it without burning (that many) bridges.

My 64 y/o mom is really struggling with her mental health and refuses to acknowledge it or take action. She is already difficult to have a relationship with, toxic, always shaming, blaming, dismissive and refuses to have important conversations.
6 years ago her husband/my step dad was killed suddenly and tragically. He had a man cave room that she has not touched since. It is beyond filthy, unsanitary and poor living conditions.

If I make attempts to clean, she has a meltdown. How to fix?

My mother in law is dying of cancer but is also a toxic person. My husband has mixed feelings around letting her dump all of her emotions that should be handled with a therapist on him. Beyond this,

How have you combated your fear of rejection? I fixate on such small things as when my friends, for example, reject plans I have made. This definitely makes me more averse to putting myself out there and makes me ruminate on past perceived failures, which are clearly not good for personal growth

Gift ideas for GF dad? We have been dating a year and a half, I get along with him super well. He is dealing with some medical complications so isn’t to active at the moment but loves cooking and golfing. He is one of those guys who already has everything he needs, and they are super wealthy so I feel bad getting him any clothing or accessories knowing it wouldn’t be as nice as the things he wears, although I know he doesn’t expect anything and would genuinely appreciate anything I got him

Which is the best automation tool to learn right now?

How does one go about switching practice groups within the same firm? I was under the impression it’s better to lateral elsewhere but I do really like my firm, just not the work in this practice area. Want to switch from transactional to litigation.

Why do you enjoy Boston (as opposed to other cities)?

Any PMs here working two jobs? I work as a PM (CW at 40hrs/week) at a FAANG company. Looking to take on a part time gig or consulting work in a non competing or different industry. Has anyone done something similar?

This bowl has been quiet and I see partners commenting on odd posts around fishbowl so I figure you need more fodder: partners, did any of you have parents that travelled as much as you do?

Any referrals in the La Jolla/San Diego area? Director level in process development.

For those of you with government contracts, Whats your thought on political giving in this cycle given the heightened scrutiny?

Is kpmg kgs banglore taking alot of time to realise the offer??? banglore

Just wanted to share that I feel completely burnt out from double teaming applications and work and if anyone else out there feels burnt out, you’re not the only one!! Good luck fishes, may the odds be ever in our favor.

Hi Fishes,

Can anybody please help me out with the market corrected salary of Associates in PWC India (Tax Tech Stack).

I’m starting the second IVF cycle. Currently on supplements and Norithendrone to prep the body. I’m excited for this cycle and looking forward to the new protocol. 💕

My IVF journey update: had two embryos fertilised. Doctors office called today to say that neither made it to Day 5. Feeling crushed. 💔

I am 51. TTC first child via donor egg and IVF.

I got that much dreaded call from doctor’s office today. Neither embryo made it to blastocyst stage 😭😭 At this point, after two failed IVFs, I’m completely lost. I don’t know what to do next. I feel defeated, yet I want to be hopeful.

Hi everyone. I’m 44f, just completed my first IVF egg retrieval. 3 eggs, only 1 matured. On day 5, I was informed they embryo has only progressed to day 3. I consider myself lucky because work benefits covered most of this. I’m contemplating should I bother trying again or just come to terms that this might not happen for me? Wil the second round cost as much at the first round?

IVF update: yesterday was my egg retrieval. Four eggs were retrieved and three were mature. Two fertilised and now the wait is on 🥰🥰
