Hi, has anyone here had a destination wedding or is planning one? Thinking of doing a destination wedding abroad and scoping out countries/geographies. Would appreciate any intel, thank you!

If you asked to be considered for early promotion and didn’t get it (despite being highly rated, exceeding billable goal, etc) would you look elsewhere? Is it right to be angry about it? I don’t want to spin myself up unnecessarily if it’s unjustified

Going to Denver mid December, would like to drive up to the Rocky’s. What trail would you recommend for a day trip and wouldn’t be too difficult with weather conditions at that time? Is it possible?

Got a GRE score of 320 (162V 158Q). Did my masters from A&M (full scholarship, 3.8 GPA, journal publications. Have been working as a consultant for a small tech consulting firm for the past 1 year and was considering a MBA + Law or Public Policy masters dual degree program. My scores are still valid for atleast 1 year. Aiming for M7 or Oxbridge in Europe. Would using this GRE score be realistic for the school given I've just 1 YOE and my quant was lower. I'm an ORM International student fyi

I’m tired of the arrogance and male techno-superiority. Where are the humans with feelings, vulnerability, joy in all of this?

I work at pwc and I am a second year senior. Currently make 90k base in assurance New York metro. Curious what everyone else is making and whether that is up to par

How are everyone's hours in your practices over the last month?

I'm in lit and finally got busy after a slow first half. Looks like I'll hit my bonus.

Where do y’all work? I work as a consultant at a big four in San Francisco. Looking to move to phoenix but am trouble finding consulting firms that operate in the city. Any recommendations?

How long have those who have been looking for a job been looking? No luck here.

I’m a PR manager with 5 years of experience and have been applying for copywriting, project management and comms strategy positions with no luck. I’ve been applying since April and have only had 2 interviews. Any advice on how best to transition or what other fields I can look into?

For startup founders/people with a successful side project: How did you get the idea/inspiration for your business? I’m currently working at a Series B startup and my end goal has always been to found my own startup, but I graduated from college 2.5 years ago and I still have not had any great ideas cross my mind. I do spend a fair amount of time brainstorming. I don’t want to continue working here forever, but I’m struggling to generate that “this is it” idea to build a company for. Any advice?

Any non-fiction book recommendations? I normally don’t like NF but recently read Bad Blood by John Carreyrou and loved the style/pace. Any similar recs?

So, how was your Monday?

Hi IBM sharks,
My friend received bluepoints, what's the conversion rate to rupees? Can we redeem it as cash components?@ IBM

Has anyone made a move from a “cushy” lifestyle to move to NYC? I’ve had a desire to move for a while but the logical part of my brain is holding back. Also insight into PwC NYM would be great!

Love that in true form I chose the 1 red meme stock. 😂💎💎💎

23 year old consultant looking to meet fellow ambitious and like minded friends… moved here recently. Any recommendations? Living in south end

Guest list stress 😖😖 how many did y’all invite vs how many came?!

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

Tux budget NYC?

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 🙃

Putting together a wedding weekend itinerary and have been dealing with a frustrating level of questions from some random in-laws who are known for stirring the pot. Would it be rude to say “please contact x with any questions. Kindly do not direct questions to the bride unless there is an emergency”? What is a better way to say this?

For those who had Catholic ceremonies.. What kind of shoes did you wear that had bottom soles that looked nice in pics? In other words, shoes with bottoms that don’t look scratched up when you are kneeling at the altar.

Have you talked about your wedding with coworkers? I made the mistake of saying I had to leave work a little early one day because I was going to do a tasting at my venue. That starts a debate on why one shouldn’t get married, how much wedding costs & what a waste it is, dresses are stupid because you only wear them once, etc. I haven’t talked about my wedding much, but I didn’t appreciate this. I ignored the negative comments and we moved the conversation along. Not talking about that anymore!

Should I invite fewer people to a destination wedding or will people just naturally decline?

Curious to hear everyone's "expectations" versus "reality" for their wedding day?
There's such an expectation around one's wedding day but not much discussion around how it's different from it

Hi everyone - We are thinking of changing our wedding photographer after unsatisfactory engagement photos and unsatisfactory communication (unresponsive after multiple attempts). We paid a $450 retainer which we know will be not refundable. However, we are not sure about other liability as we read our contract and found these 2 clauses (in comments). Please advise! Definitely not happy with her and would like to switch to another one but also want to make sure we make the right move. Thanks!

Budget question! How much are you estimating spending per guest? This includes food/alcohol/venue, etc

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

What gift did you get your spouse on your wedding day?

I just got engaged on Sunday (!!) and my ring is just a little big. I’m reading online that most jewelers won’t resize a rose gold ring. Has anyone had any issues with this? I could go back to the family jeweler who designed the ring and would do it for free but the ring was designed in Michigan and I live in Chicago. Is it worth it to drive to Michigan to get it taken care of there?

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good premarital counselor in NYC or NJ?

Any tips on making a small wedding feel intimate and special versus tiny and boring?

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?

Fun question: what are the best and the worst wedding trends you’ve seen?

Has anyone hosted their own engagement party? All of my friends and family live far away from us so it is just easier for me to plan it but I feel odd doing so. Any tips?
