I called it off with the girl I’d been seeing for a month. I feel good, like a man unburdened.

Does Chicago have a secret sex society ?

Talking to the opposite sex at the gym: yes or no? (Or same sex)

My sister thinks that me being miffed about a guy not finding time to text back within 24 hours is abrasive and demanding.

She’s a people pleaser and different personality, but dang I’m not asking for much.

Where is the best place to watch football on Sundays and meet a single guy in his late 20s to mid 30s?

I feel like I am very naive and cannot read between the lines, so I can’t tell if someone is trying to fuck me over or not. This leads me to be extremely skeptical of others’ intentions, and makes me less confident that I can influence others, and in general really erodes my self-confidence. Does anyone else feel similarly? If so, how have you dealt with it?

What has been the best series in your opinion?

Guys I can’t stop

Star Trek: Prodigy is apparently coming out this year. I liked Lower Decks but idk about us having two animated series at the same time

How do you all think about allocating space to different work experiences in resume. 2 years at MBB post mba and 5 years in finance and tech prior to mba. I currently have 60-70% work experience section devoted to my work post MBA and the rest prior to MBA even. Does that seem reasonable? Just got into recruiting game and trying to understand best practices

For ex consultants without finance backgrounds who transitions to PE or Growth do you have any recs on podcast books to read that helped you build your PE/Investing knowledge?

Top EA horror stories? I could use a laugh - I know we all have one! Early in my career especially

My wife got a job that requires us to relocate to San Diego. We have never lived there and know little about the city. We are planning to rent. We stayed in a hotel in little Italy and really loved the vibe there, but it’s too expensive for us. Are there other neighborhoods with similar vibes - restaurants, bars, lively, good for walking, clean, safe, young, diverse and accessible that are more affordable? Please share recommendations. How much should we reasonably budget to rent a 2bd/2bath?

Have an interview coming up with Amex for project management roles. Recruiter said they are considering me for multiple open roles? Can anyone give me some insight into this? There’s a behavioral and American Express technical interview

Can I bring my parents and sibling also in relocation reimbursement and also for the hotel accommodation?

How are transactional attorneys doing lately? Still drowning or are things getting better?

Name the most ridiculous micro-managing by partners that you experience.

I’ll go first: MP told me that on initial emails, I am always to start with “Hello [name],” but after the initial email, I am not to address her by name again in the same thread. Initial greeting can only be “Hello [name] ” because just first name is too brisk and a “Hi [name]” is too informal. Had a 5 minute, in depth conversation as to why she prefers it this way…

A partner emailed you, recognizing your hard work and thanking you (you billed aweful lot of hours this month). Do you respond or not?

How common is it to have a bunch of awards (like lions, clios, one show etc) in this city? Reviewing books I hardly come across any international awards at all. Is my agency to shitty or are awards a thing of the past?

Hi All,
I'm joining EY India Technology Consulting in a week. However, EY is also my client, primarily we're involved in the maintenance of their internal user interface.

I can see a non solicitation clause in my current employer's offer letter than I can't join client within 12 months of my termination.

Are this non solicitation clauses followed in reality? Everyone's has been asking me to chill, since I'm joining as scon, not a manager or with any trade secrets. Opinions pls.

What’s the base salary for BCN Associate Consultant in India ?

Does Chicago have a secret sex society ?

Accepted an offer for 150k with another b4 (currently at D) with 4 YOE. I should be happy and jumping with this number but being an 1st gen immigrant, this number is too unreal/scary to me. Growing up I watched my parents struggle working multiple jobs from sunrise to midnight just to make minimum wage for us to have a good life but now it feels weird to be making this much? It feels like a party I shouldn’t be in, but here I am.

Has anyone else who had omicron experienced their sore throat returning? I’ve had no symptoms for a week and a half, and then just woke up with that same awful scratchy throat 🥴

Took me a while to realize that people comment F on posts to follow threads. I thought they were commenting F to pay respects 😔

Is anyone concerned the push for sexual equality in pay without accordant leveling of parental leave is gonna backfire?

Here’s a hypothetical:

A company has 2 candidates, aged 25-30, equal in every respect save one’s a man the other’s a woman. Maybe the woman is a slightly better candidate overall. They’d have equal comp.

Company considers the woman a riskier bet due to possibility she’ll take maternity leave — and considers the man less risky for his ineligibility to take as much leave. 🤷

I’m 22 and make 76K/year. I feel like I’m falling behind the ball. All I do is work and go on walks and sleep and do it all over again. This isn’t the life I want but I know I’m very privileged. Is this it?

With Spotify Wraps everywhere, I have a question about music: What speed do you listen to music at? I generally do 3x, but will slow it down to 2x if I enjoy the artist.

Suggestions to change name of a company? My current employer is a Series A startup. Their name is weird and corny, and just not very techy. Wondering if there’s a way to bring this up to the founders so they would consider the name before we grow bigger and become stuck with the bad name

It’s my birthday today. Took off from work. In a chatty mood. Anyone want to talk? Lol. M fish 🐠 here.

What’s the required PwC car insurance coverage? Do we really need it if we are not driving for work purposes? and only for commuting?

Just completed my work out and got myself chicken nuggets. I mean what is even life

Anyone here cringe or shudder when they see someone with loads of Botox and face work done? I find it hard to look at people like that.

It's true, tis is my confession.
I shower 6 times a day. AMA

Any recommendations on where to go for a 30th bday trip in November?

Anyone actually use the Networking feature here on fishbowl? Like yeah I see some of you with it on but do you actually use it besides thirsty dms?

Probably the least racy confession on here but I really liked Windows 8 and I'm sad there's nothing like it anymore
