How do I set good boundaries during my maternity leave?

Background: During my 1st leave, my backfill kept reaching out to me & cc’ing me in emails & I felt obligated to respond since we didn’t fully transition b/c baby came early.

I’m currently transitioning to a backfill before I go on leave for the 2nd time & they’ve already reached out to me multiple times while I’ve been using up my PTO (use or lose!). I honestly just want to check out this time & not feel guilty about doing so.

Anybody work at Chase UK and can comment on salaries, benefits, culture? Interviewing for a Manager (Associate) position in London.

2.20am in the UK. Been turning and tossing. I try to switch off my mind, spray some lavender spray on my pillows but doesn’t stop my mind thinking about work and life in general. HELP.

I am in a long distance relationship with someone who is currently in B school. He spends pretty much all his breaks and holidays traveling with his classmates. Most of the time I am fine. But for some important holidays and my birthday, I told him we should spend time together. He just said it’s more important for him to bond with his classmates and ignore my ask. It’s really disappointing and I don’t know what else to tell him. Is that a reasonable ask or am I being dramatic?

Hi Fishes,

I have recently joined PwC SDC as an Associate 2. Wanted to know that is there any smartphone reimbursement or mobile phone program here.

TIA!

first call with SF CSG Recruiter is scheduled for Senior Architect role. Appreciate insights from you all.
1. How is work life balance in CSG?
2. What is the typical billability target? Does one have to market oneself for billability or the Practice lead takes care of it?
3. Honestly- I have seen SF people pushing for products which are really not needed by clients. I can never do such a thing - so is there an expectation from the AE’s that Architects should do so?

TIA

Was recently laid off.. I’ve had to follow up with HR twice to figure out why I still have not been sent my termination paperwork/benefits/severance packet. What the heck is happening.

Had a big fight with my gf last night (we live together), looking for advice. She’s a first gen immigrant and her niece recently returned from their home country. She was staying with her brother in law but he’s been drinking a lot so she felt unsafe. She came to crash at my place which I was fine with for a couple of nights. Yesterday she let me know that her niece needs to stay two weeks. She didn’t rly ask she just told me - which rly pissed me off. Am I wrong for wanting to be consulted?

I love my job and the people I work with, but lately I've been feeling like everyone else has more flexibility in their schedules than I do. How do you find time for yourself when there's so many meetings?

If anyone is having holiday calendar handy then please share snap here.
Thanks in Advance.

How is WLB in Tiger Analytics?
Do they allow project movement , If we don't like the kind of work we get in project?

Sometimes I wish when you were with a partner, there was a very clear sign that the person doesn’t love you so that you know it’s time to walk away. My partner and I keep having the same problems, and when I express he’s making me feel a certain way he says he didn’t mean it like that obviously. But when i say something and explain that it’s not how I meant it he doesn’t care and proceeds to label me as an unkind person who doesn’t support/love him unconditionally. *continued in comments*

Anyone here work at @Wavestone? I have got an interview coming up with them in their risk advisory practice. Could do with some insights on WLB balance and culture.

Currently 6 years at job A at 100K and 10K annual bonus but lil to no upward mobility. It's safe if not going anywhere.

Recruiter reached out regarding Job B at 130K with greater advancement potential but it starts out at 6 Months Contract to Hire per the agency contract. No bonus, benefits adequate by comparison. There is no guarantee to go full time.

Interview just for practice?

As realtors, our worst and best friend are the contractors, being friends with the contractor that remodelled a home you are going to sell is a plus because you can know for sure what kind of improvements were made to the house and why; and what kind of things are pending to be improved, that way you can provide real information to the client. You know what they say: a happy client always comes back to you.

Am I expected to bring a gift?

A partner in my practice group which is fairly small (12-15 ppl) is hosting a dinner at her house, kind of for halloween but also as a belated housewarming type event after she moved a year ago. I am going to the dinner but not sure if I am expected to bring a gift. If you think yes what’s a good gift idea for something like this? I dont want to be the only one who brings one but also dont want to be the only one who doesnt…

Hi, how do I make sure that the AWS AutoPredict in the AWS Forecast module makes use of the RTS (Related Time Series)? In my previous iteration it took the RTS and the accuracy was good, but after I made a few updates to the underlying data the accuracy has come down and AutoPredict is not making use of the RTS.

Going back to work after vacation is so hard.

My bf and I have been having the same argument for weeks now so he said he needed space (and I understand why) But he said let’s talk after Christmas… and a month feels long to me. I felt like two weeks is enough time to gather your thoughts. Can others share their experiences? Also it feels unfair for me to have to wait for his text? I don’t know what is best for me too.

Newly pregnant here! Anyone get pregnant right after starting a new job? Nervous about telling my team and needing to take leave within my first year at the new company.

I’m 16 weeks and my doctor recommended AFP testing to determine neural defects. We already did NT and NIPT which came back low risk. She said it’s to determine if we need to be doing an early anatomy scan sooner than 20 weeks. Anyone else done the AFP testing? It caught me by surprise because she hadn’t mentioned it at any of our prior appointments

has anyone else experienced an early 2nd tri loss? i feel so lonely and defeated right now after learning the news today. this was our first pregnancy.

I’m only 7 weeks and I haven’t been sleeping well for the last 3 weeks. I go to pee every couple hours and I can’t find a comfortable position to sleep. I’m a stomach sleeper and although I’m still able to sleep on my stomach, my boobs are sore and it hurts. Sleeping on my sides is uncomfortable and I’m trying to not sleep on my back. Anyone going through the same thing? Has anything helped? I feel like it’s too early to buy a pregnancy pillow 🥲

Anyone feel avoidant about certain foods? About 6 weeks or so, no nausea or sickness but certain smells I can’t stand (i.e. eggs, steak). I’ve found myself nervous to cook the salmon we just bought because I don’t want to hate the smell and end up wasting it 😭

My “possibly toxic” trait is I don’t want to be helped. We bought our house with my husband and never got a cent from anyone and we furnished it ourselves. Now I’m pregnant i don’t really want gifts. We have already bought 70% for our baby and i just don’t want gifts although fam and friends are keen to gift. Am i petty?

Anyone experience exhaustion setting in at the end of second trimester? First trimester came with exhaustion like I have never experienced before and then most of second trimester has been more or less back to normal energy levels. Currently at 26 weeks and have been totally dragging for the past week or more. Does anyone have tips for getting through this?

Considering how intensely the OB office said I need my blood drawn at exactly 1 hour after glucose drink, would a 4 min blood draw delay skew my results? Not finding any current research.

Had the baby shower and now I’m planning to send out thank you cards. Are digital/ e-cards a bad look? How would you feel if you got a virtual thank you card? For reference, the shower invites were virtual. TIA!

I had *just* gotten back into running (2 weeks) when I found out I’m pregnant! Great news, but would you keep running? Doctor says it’s up to me.

In my first trimester, can I get a microneedling with PRP?

Trying not to be reactive here until my doctor calls, but… obviously can’t help it. My blood test today (28w) came back with results that are worrying me. My RBC and HCT are low (below the standard range) which would indicate slight anemia, but ferritin came back totally normal. This alone wouldn’t cause me too much concern, except that I have counts for NRBC, which seems like a bigger problem. Has anyone else gone through this?
