re: maintaining friendships-
friendship is really about proximity even if people say “it feels like we were never apart!” .. but you were. you’ll have to accept that new memories will get created without you. but you can try to plan weekly video chats or just facetime them whenever to try keeping in touch. visit them or encourage them to visit you

source: i was in another country away from my friends for a year. luckily i came back and picked up right where i left off

re: making new friends
join meetup events. find clubs. do your hobbies that you would normally to find friends of similar interests. when my friend moved to a new state, he picked up uber driving so he could meet people haha.

goodluck!

It helps to make commitments. When my close friends moved across the country, we put a biweekly phone date in our calendars and kept to it. I think we would have lost touch otherwise. Keeping active in group texts helps too.

Hi EY Folks,
What is the process of background verification in EY GDS?

2. Offer letter says mandatory documents to be submitted (last 2 employers as applicable).
3. They do background verification from only last two employers or all the employers?

Need advice. My sister is in a DV relationship. I haven’t seen her in over a decade. A friend reached out and let me know she was in trouble. I traveled from another city to check in on her and she was not at her house. I found out that she and her soon to be ex are in a secluded lake house and I don’t know the location of said vacation home. I feel like I need to do a wellness check on her but I’m not sure how to proceed. Any advice fellow Fishies?

My current role started out as a way to increase my skills, but for the past year the majority of what I’ve done is transcribing data between systems, which is one of the things I’m very bad at. My brain switches letters/numbers. With some recent changes, all other responsibilities were removed. I had a good reputation in the company before this, but now every day I feel like a failure because I keep making mistakes.

Does anyone else feel a hollownees with their lives?

We create targets for ourselves, then race to chase them down. Be it for a better career, money or a much higher standard of living. But I guess our youth pays a price for it. Not sure if this us just me or does anyone else resonates with this. For everything that I wanted to have and do have now, I feel just very hollow.
