I am almost done with my first trimester and I’m scared to announce that I am pregnant to EY as there have been talks of layoffs before June 30! Should I wait longer or just go ahead and rip off the bandaid? Been stressing about this a lot , thinking people will judge me for getting pregnant 😢. Please help!!

Congrats!! I think if anything, bring pregnant would give them pause on letting you go. Discrimination and all that.

Thank you pwc1. Yes! It’s just the covid thing has been making companies lay off ruthlessly that got me worried!

Don’t be scared girl, congratulations on your pregnancy!! That is the best thing that can happen to a woman :) it that makes you feel better, they can’t let you go just because you’re pregnant. That is called discrimination and they won’t risk it. Rest assured and enjoy the rest of your pregnancy! :)

I moved back in with my parents in August, and my mom and stepfather have demanded monthly rent. They are in no way poor at this moment in time, and in my opinion it’s f*cked up to demand your child pay rent. I bought a VR headset a couple weeks back and my mom increased the rent because “I can afford it.” Is this normal? I honestly feel used. Fwiw I’ve worked since I was 13, and hustled my entire life.

Hey all, ~7 years I've been working with fixed income analytics (duration, spread, etc) and perf attribution for institutional inv mgmt firm with close to $400B aum.

I'm being laid off in a couple months. Should I say I'm being laid off in interviews? Or is that a negative? I get severance if I stay the whole time so ideally I can time it. Have finance degree, CFA charter.

Most of work has been IG, but also some HY, EM and equity. Want to go into equity research/PM- worried I'm pigeonholed

I know they might be teaching all proper UX but in reality companies doesn't follow.
There is no scope for doing research. And it is only a handful of product company that has a design team, rest places doesn't even understand what actual Design is. But being in this field, not everyone will get a chance to work with top design driven companies

My car broke (engine seized, 10y old). I am interested in 530i ($62k price), however 3year lease is $1,000+ monthly (with $5k down). Monthly lesse payment is 50% more than bmw advertised offers (“south FL dealers are not participating in the program”)

Q to car gurus/experts- should I defer purchase/lease for 6 months? My logic, the impending recession will reduce demand and we will go back to more balanced market (lower prices with negotiation).
