Hi girls,

I joined the current company when I was about 2 months pregnant and they were extremely welcoming.. My baby is now 2+ years and we are planning to have another baby soon. What are your views on opting for the maternity leaves 2nd time within 3.5 years of joining the company? Would it reflect badly on me? Btw, I'm a high perfomer at my company and have also had a promotion recently. I am feeling too guilty but baby no.2 is also a priority given the age factor and the fertility concerns

I am not getting much exposure to technology and hence asked for release. My manager luring me to get me promoted and is not giving me a release date. I don't want the promotion, because it will give me very less raise, instead I want to move into a good account with more challenges so that I can learn more. What to do now? How can I get the release? Plz suggest

Dropping my parents off at the airport as they fly back home to India. Know that with advancing age, they may be the last time they visit here and it is possible I may never see them again. Have such a heavy heart even if I know this is how life goes 🙁

When I was a kid, I thought being a scientist would allow me to learn about the world. I didn't realize just how much paperwork there is.

I started a job in August and I was as told I get a salary review at the year end. I know I’m being underpaid and I want to ask for a raise. I’m a new attorney and my salary is $65k. I want $80k but is that too high of a jump??

Got an Amazon offer (they reached out to me, interview process lasted several months) but discovered I was pregnant after getting the offer. For medical reasons and complicated history of miscarriages, I can't commit to a start date prior to delivery. In order to be transparent, I have shared the news with the recruiter. Should I expect them to withdraw the offer/any advice on what to do?

I recently started a new job as HR Generalist at a small government contracting company. I only make about $66k/ year when previous i started closer to $45k but as a single parent of a kid in daycare, im struggling. I want advice on the best way to build my career as fast as possible to reach by goal of making $100k within the next 3 years in HR. What should I do to further myself professionally as fast as I can? SHRM classes? certs? PHR? all resources welcome!

For moms who have delivered before, I am terrified of the delivery. That day haunts me. I’m a first time pregnant mom, and my own mother lost her first child in child birth, so I’ve inherited a lot of trauma about child birth. How bad is it, really? How scary? Any words of encouragement and honestly telling me what to expect (don’t sugar coat) I would appreciate. I am so scared.

I'm an incoming cyber risk analyst at D. As my start date got pushed, I enrolled in a part-time masters in cybersecurity at NYU. Does having an MS vs. certs have more value? (excluding CISSP/OSCP) or is it vice versa? Also, does having a MS help expedite promotion route?

The kid was there all this timeeeeeeeeeee

I feel like I'm aging at a rapid pace 😔😬🥴...I used to feel like I looked young for my age and now that I'm in my later 30's, I feel like everyday I look older and older. I don't wear a ton of makeup and do usually eat pretty healthily/ drink water. What other tips, tricks, and treatments should I be considering?!? (Mostly feel like my skin is dull, uneven tone, and wrinkles are becoming more apparent) Ugh, ha.... I know it's part of life but want to slow it down!

3rd year big law. Have been offered an in-house role with a very promising start up. They just did a massive series raise so they have lots of runway. It’ll just be me and the GC who is ex big law near partner level. 20% pay rise plus equity. Not in big law for partnership. Take it?

Worked in Dassault Systemes in 2020 Nov-2021 aug. With an exp of 6yrs. As it's a "product based" company, my family was happy..my father smile just made my day back then.

But things started to change. Again and again I raised my voice but it was taken down.

There's nothing like a product based org. No WLB, No WFH, the work load was very high and No Mental satisfaction.

I still have few of my friends working in DS saying the attrition is 37%

So, people who are thinking to join DS think twice

Looking for baby moon recommendations for early March. Obviously Covid is an issue, but hoping it’ll be better by then (at least this omicron wave may be over) somewhere warm, and not too far of a flight from DC area, tho if it’s affordable we are willing to fly. Trying to stay in the states since pregnant. Any reccs? I’ll be about 20 weeks pregnant. I know it’s early but it’s the only time we’ll be able to take before the baby comes.

I'm at a WPP agency and just got a raise. It was wayyy overdue and not at all what I was hoping for. Boss says "that's how it is with WPP." Is there anything I can do?

I'm fairly new and today was the first time I had to assist a mother who came in to surrender her children, three kids all under the age of five years old... I did my best to remain professional but it was hard to see and be a part of. Has anyone else been in this situation?

Need to vent. I feel like giving 100% (let’s be honest, usually more than that) to work isn’t enough anymore. My projects get my undivided attention, but I’m too mentally exhausted to participate in all the workplace extras. The groups, the communities, the talks, the panels. The concern that it makes me look bad always lingers in the back of my mind, but as a working parent I don’t know how else to say it… I’m drained. I just want to do my job really well and then spend time with my family.

Wk 11 w #1. On a good day, I forget about being pregnant and my life continues as usual. On a bad day, I’m tired, fat / bloated, breaking out, nauseous, and burst into tears. In other words, ...

Moengage, Workinsync, Zilingo which is a better choice in terms of company culture and growth?.

How important do you think an advanced degree is for increasing your salary/getting ahead in this field? Does everyone have one?

Has anyone used a salary (offer) negotiation service?

I'm going to work for a midsized company and want to make sure I max compensation.

Zoom (or similar) completely sucks, I know. BUT. Out of the shitty “digital social games” you’ve played on these platforms, which ones are actually at least an ounce of fun?

My church is doing virtual communion today for Easter Sunday. Look up Alfred Street Baptist Church on YouTube at 10am EST for thr next live service!

Hey fish. Im in a tough spot. My CW and I recently rocked some work. Now we are on phase 2 and our CDs are changing the work from our original vision. Instead of leading us, they are editing on their own. Should we let it go?

Please suggest some company for remote working.

I hate living in PA. That hatred is amplified every time I see Oz's stupid political ads. It literally reminds me of Family Guy when Lois runs for Mayor and just keeps repeating 9/11 over and over.
