I am scheduled to fly from NYC to Mumbai via Paris next Wednesday (Jan 5) for a ~10 day trip. Have any of you, your family, friends, etc. flown a similar route (I.e. from US to India via Europe) in the past week? If so, what is the arrival process (Covid test, quarantine requirements, etc.)? I’ve had all recommended vaccine shots and I’m only in Paris for a 2 hour layover (not leaving the airport). Any information on this would be greatly appreciated!

It’s looking like my job is gonna start asking us to return to the office. We have an open office plan and before we wfh FT I would save all my work for my telework days bc I can’t get shit done in the office. I’m having major anxiety about them making this decision. I know I’m not alone that people don’t want to return to the office. My ADHD and the open office just makes working from the office a nightmare and I’m feeling really nervous and kind of resentful.

6’0 and weighed in at 220lbs today. All time high and have gained 20lbs since gyms closed in March. When I did workout it was more or less 100% compound lifts. I’m now limited to a few kettlebells but am not even close to as consistent as I was. Any idea on how I can lose this excess 20lbs? I feel like it crept up over night.

Hey folks - I have an inquiry on my credit for a gym membership I “failed to cancel”. I had previously left this gym as it closed during pandemic, and shifted to a new location. In doing so, I informed the gym I would be leaving. However, I recently checked my credit and saw that my membership had not been cancelled and had been sent to collections (prompting an inquiry and dropping my score).

Has anyone experienced this, and is aware of next steps to take here?

An agency I freelance for wants to hire me full-time. They told me for a Sr Copywriter, 100-110k. I countered with 125-150.

I also said I'm interested in a higher-level title - I currently freelance as a Creative Director of Copy elsewhere (they don't have that title at this agency.)

They came back and said yes to the title and to 125, with a 6 month review that could raise it to 145.

Which is good for Sr Copy, but low for CD/ACD level. Don't want to screw myself over. What to say now?

Hi there. What is considered a good salary for a project manager?

Hooked up with my ex today. Something about the holidays really tends to bring out my self-destructive tendencies.

When is a good time to start looking to buy a house if you are currently renting? Like 1-3 months before your lease is up? My fiancé and I don’t want to rush the home buying process, but wanted to see if anyone has experienced this and their thoughts if they would have done something differently.

What do you wish you knew before you began the home buying process for the first time? What would change if you could go back to the beginning of the process?

Appeal to all Indian consultants in this bowl to hit the little “me” icon at the bottom right of your screen, go to the settings icon on the top right and hit “send feedback” and let FB know what has been happening on the Desi bowl, arbitrarily blocking ppl who asked for action to be taken against folks making personal attacks.

Congratulations to Biden-Harris!!

Desi bowl leaders now blocked DD from the bowl for asking to take action against personal attacks and name calling! Cancel culture at its best.

Welcome to the bowl! Discuss everything Indian on this bowl but pls respect everyone even if you don’t agree with their thoughts and opinions!
