The same as normal. I have my own life and she has hers. I go eat, have drinks with friends, do my hobbies, etc.

Only difference now is when we chat it's over phone instead of in person. It's just a couple weeks, not really that long.

Hang with the boys. Dinner dates w/ all your “Plan B” women friends. Do all of your favorite things that she hates/ won’t do (e.g. go to restaurants she doesn’t like, hang w/ your single friend that she hates, smoke/drink as much as you like, gamble more than you should.)

Honestly...tons of gaming and drinking at home. That way, you stay out of trouble and when the wife asks where are you...the answer is always home...she’ll think you did nothing when you just had a one man party!

I am considering an opportunity at Deloitte in the Specialist track. I am trying to figure out what level I should be looking at. Can anyone share with me the differences between the levels of Specialist Senior (I think that is the term), Specialist Master and Specialist Leader? Are their higher levels? I am looking for the specific criteria and metrics for each level. DM me if you don't want to display publicly. I think I might be close to or above the SpL level but not sure.

Hello! I’m doing an “eat the alphabet” activity with my friend where each letter red presents a country, I.e.

Anyone have recommendations for a Oaxacan, not just Mexican, restaurant that is also affordable? Thanks!

I’m struggling on how to effectively coach a designer on my team who is a low performer. I’ve been working with them for two years.. but have not seen the growth needed to succeed in this industry. They’re slow, lack creative innovation, and have a hard time designing strategically (designs don’t make sense even from a functionality standpoint).

I’ve tried everything I can think of.. but at this point, account teams would rather request working with interns over this person.

Any advice?
