I guess it all depends on what your definition of love is OP. I consider myself a hopeless romantic but also have become jaded with experience.

You probably are

Someone told me that forever love is when you and your partner/ SO are happy to accept the things that annoy you about each other and live with those annoyances day in and day out knowing they are now a part of your life.
Those annoyances are friggin hard to find :)

That’s so true! Yes love is simple. We overcomplicate it these days

In for true love but not so much fairy tales. Curious if any guys commented on this thread or is it all women? 😂
Wondering if guys ever say they are hopelessly romantic, romantic at heart, wear their heart on the sleeve or hopeful for true love, etc.

I’m a 36M; definitely a romantic, but also a realist.

Not alone OP. I believe in true love. I've been repeatedly told I'm naive and an idiot for believing that but I'm holding out hope.

EY - I’m right there with you.. although Disney has done a number on me, I’m a hopeless romantic at heart. Or whatever you want to call it really. I tend to wear my heart on my sleeves, and give even if I don’t receive. It’s been tough since the world has become more cynical and cruel.

True love? fairy tales are more fun 😂

True love is attainable when you realize that what you believe to be true love is not love at all.

Loving one’s self is also not enough, as it stems from the ego. “I” love “myself”...there are two versions of “self”, the one loving and the one receiving the love. This mental dynamic will ultimately become a source of internal conflict.

True love is when you can radiate love to everyone and everything; only then can you begin to feel it in return. Love has no dark opposite; the more you give, the more you receive.

It’s common to confuse and intertwine “states of being” and “tangible things”.

If I give you one of my “things”, you have the thing and I no longer have that thing. If I give or show someone love, however, whether it be romantic or friendly, not only does the person receive love, but my love grows in the process. This, in turn, makes me more attractive on a level deeper than just external looks or material possessions.

If you want love, give love.

Hello! I’m new here and looking for positions in talent management specifically as a Talent Business Partner or HR Business Partner. Open to relocating but more interested in remote positions or local in Washington DC or Northern Virginia. I have a master’s degree in I/O psychology, SHRM-CP and 7+ years of talent management experience. If anyone is hiring, please let me know!

Thinking about buying a used luxury vehicle (BMW 4 series, Jaguar XF, Audi, etc), target $30K-$35K, less than 20K miles, and <3 years old. Any suggestions about target models? I don’t like the idea of buying new because of the premium/immediate depreciation, and leasing feels restrictive. Is this a bad idea?

I ordered a Tesla model 3 SR in April and I am able to take delivery this weekend, however I’m now unsure of whether it’s the right move financially. I have a lease on a 2020 BMW X3 that will end next month and was wondering if I should just buy that out and drive it for a few years. If it makes a difference I’m in SoCal so gas is $$$, but no EV charging in my apartment.

Tesla: $830/month + charging and insurance
BMW: $600/m + $150 gas + maint/insurance

Any thoughts? Is the Tesla worth it?

Hi All,

I am trying to get an opportunity with EY, however I hold 5.4 yrs of experience but with different work profile as in (OTC, P2P).

So what I am getting in here is totally a new domain to me.

Can anyone suggest if they hire me even for the consultant role, will it be suffice for me and what package expectation should I ask for?

I was struggling to even look at myself in the mirror since this is the heaviest I’ve been. I went back working out at least 4 times a week and eating very healthy.

Would you leave TAS M&A FDD for a corporate finance FP&A role?

FP&A role is directly reporting to the CFO with heavy modelling and will have a few sprinkles of corporate strategy ad hoc projects. This role is also roughly a 20% pay increase.

Is this a good move? Not really sure what my ultimate goal is in life, for the purposes of this I would say I’m interested in both paths equally. Does switching to FP&A now bare me from returning to the M&A industry in the future?
