I’ve always looked at being a consultant as being a professional student. So basically the same pros and cons as that but you’re an adult

I lost a parent recently and flew to india from the US, took the week of dec 14th off, planning to get back Jan 2nd week. The recent UK bans have me a little worried that something similar may happen in the US. Anyone recently flown from India to NYC willing to share your experience? Also, does EY have a bereavement leave policy i should charge my time to? or does it all go to vacation? Also for context, how much time off is considered okay in such situations?

I had an abortion. No one knows, not a single person. I feel sorry I did it but I’m a divorced mother and it was a one night stand. Does the guilt ever go away?

How would you feel being invited to a late August wedding where the couple asked that you be vaccinated in order to attend? Let’s assume honors system. 150 people invited, all outdoors. 25% of guest list are doctors. Mostly progressive crowd. No kids.

If you’re vaccinated, why do you care if you come in contact with those who aren’t? (Coming from a person who is vaccinated who doesn’t care about others personal health choices)

So I did my parent's return this year super early and it was before the filing instruction limits were released for our state. So they were over the threshold for the state's tuition deduction cont.

need sanity check pls. i am 6m pregnant with twins, have a history of miscarriages&specialists urged us to be extremely careful since covid19 can lead to stillbirth. My SO is staying with his parents this week to help with renovation. We agreed they'd follow social distancing rules while SO is living there, but he just told me his parents are spending hours with their friends in closed spaces wearing no masks!Now he has to stay 5 days longer and test prior to coming home. Right to be angry?

I am 26 weeks pregnant and a wreck emotionally. My husband has to be at his parents house cause his mom is recovering from a surgery and his dad is a doctor and has to go see patients. So my husband has to go take care of his mother. I have two options. I go with him to my in laws but I get very anxious when I am there and the other option is I stay in our home by myself but I get too anxious when I am alone (I blame pregnancy hormones cause usually I am very independent). I am struggling.
