Hey everyone, I got a call from Deloitte recruiting on Wednesday of last week discussing salary requirements and location. They told me that the team really liked me and that they were going to work on an offer. I got a call on Friday saying one group has approved the offer but they are waiting on others. I haven’t heard much since then. Should I be worried? How much longer will I have to wait?
Sooo who’s working on Pfizer’s covid vaccine?

so good that nearly everyone has already married each other
exactly. just need to hang in there for the first round of divorces 🙃
Depends. For a guy I feel it's great, but increasingly more expensive than 3-4 years ago. Plenty of ways to meet people, explore, and have a good time.
Most recently I asked someone out and the very first thing they said was "where are you taking me?" So proceeded with a certain level of caution as some people are dating just to date or dating for dinner.
I’m not the biggest fan, but I don’t think my issue is with Chicago, rather just with how apps changed dating. Feels like people sometimes expect perfect chemistry right away and can be pretty hesitant to commit since there are always more “options”.
Freaking awesome. I’m married though, so I live vicariously through my buddies
It’s worse than dog shit. Coming from a 35F
EY 1 spitting facts.
Jot, time is running out…
I tried app dating after my divorce, and was kind of put off by how everyone just had sex with me on the first date.
I honestly would rather be alone.
Don’t blame the women then….it was a you problem. It’s how you handled your divorce, which is fine, but you didn’t have to do anything with the women if you didn’t want to. Just as a woman can say no, you can say no too. I hope you got the therapy you needed and are in a better place :)
Coming from someone who lived in a smaller midwest city, it's great. A lot of options. But with options come a lot of competition. It's easy to get distracted have the desire to go to the next thing
That makes sense since you just moved and recently single.
I haven’t really dated anywhere else but I’m not sure why the scene would be any different than another big city - there are plenty of single people to choose from, with all of the benefits and drawbacks that brings.
Enjoyable for a high value man. Lots of charming good looking women.
My personal life is a disaster but people here in general seem to couple up/get married very quickly
Depends on your gender. Chicago is somewhat equal, maybe slightly favorable for women, unlike a city like NYC where it’s far worse for women than men.
I came from NYC. 2nd year in Chicago. I met my husband in NYC and married him. It can be hard for anyone not being honest with themselves in what they really want vs. what they think they want. Honestly that's anywhere not just nyc. Any big city. I found dating very easy in NYC but that just me.
Yeah, I lived in dc and nyc (man) and it was so easy to date out of my league. In Chicago it’s been pretty even
I don't know. I had great time and a great experience in NYC. But I met my husband in the latin dancing scene. maybe it's different there. It can be crappy I've been told but maybe I was fortunate. I always felt the opposite. I'm not a model, just comfortable with putting out there what I wanted and if he guy didn't make me feel I was a priority and wanted me "fit" into his life I moved on until I met someone of similar wavelength.
43M here and I'm sick of it. Gonna be awhile, if ever, until I do it again.
USB1 - just the general disrespect and immaturity of it all, which admittedly is mostly from experiences on the apps.
