I have a remote job where I can essentially set my own schedule. Many days I don't start work until 10:00 a.m. I'm trying to be more stringent about this but like the motivation without a hard consequence. I feel like everybody else looks down on me

Hi fishies! Considering an internal big 4 move from Western Europe to Dubai. Not sure about WLB and whether there’ll be enough growth and learning opportunities after reading some of the threads here. Anyone up for sharing their experience? Especially concerned about sexism / racism as a WOC…and whether moving back to Europe in a few years will be difficult because the ME experience won’t be considered valuable.

Should I move to another firm and take the higher pay (20% more) and do more work I’d enjoy doing and have better growth and long term career potential, while sacrificing my current title (would have to step down from associate to analyst), WLB, and team chemistry?

Is IB worth the sacrifice of WLB? Obvious pay is really good but are the prestige and pay worth it if you’re planning on only doing it for a couple years?

Currently working at an IRA with great WLB. Honestly I love my job, the firm, and people I work with.

Also doing MBA part time at a T15 school. Thinking about switching to IB but I’ve done my research and I think I would burn out of IB in two years but I might be ok with that for the opportunities after.

Just made a career pivot and accepted a job with Progressive in sales. I’ve heard more good things than bad about the company. I turned down Liberty and Allstate so I’m hoping I made the right choice. Curious if anyone works there can offer their opinion about what it’s like working for Progressive.

Need advice- Got into an at fault accident a while back, car is being fixed by insurance coverage over $10k. Now my rental got hit by something with a large star damage to the windshield and will have to be replaced since it larger than a coin . Scared if I tell insurance my rate will go up even more. Can I just get a company to replace it and pay out of pocket without telling rental company or insurance ? One company is quoting me $800 which I’m happy to pay. Rental car is a bmw

I feel like my employer thinks I’m losing my shit.

I started traveling while working remote and fell in love with the mountains. I’m now applying to be a full time remote employee and fear they won’t approve it.

I feel like I have to defend that I’ve found more in life that makes me happy than just work.

How do I pitch that I need to live elsewhere for my happiness and not near an office?

These new travel restrictions make me just wanna stay home. I’m fully vaxxed and still masked. I’m tired of this BSSSSSSSS

Can't wait to sit down to Thanksgiving meal next Thursday where everyone will first take turns saying what they are grateful for and then spend the rest of the day bitching, moaning and complaining about EVERYTHING, from government to crime rates to health care to weather.

All of us want the same thing! Money- Flex Timing- Great Culture- Respect - Value in what we are doing!
We, the employees make an organization. If all of us want the same thing, how come the culture of that organization still remains the same! Why can’t we be the pioneer? Thoughts…

I started dating someone mid-Jan and the other night he told me he’s falling in love with me. I said it back (I am). But now I think I’m freaking out that things are going to change between us and ever since, I’ve been completely acting out and making fights out of absolutely nothing. How can I stop this???

Battle royale, which F500 CEO is your champion? Money has no influence.

I’ll start, Jeff Bezos is my champion. Pure physicality and oddly deep voice

Case 1: complaining about a date insisting on picking up the check as it makes them feel less independent.
Case 2: agreeing on 50/50, then being upset about why the date never picks up the check or treats them after 3 months of dating

In both cases, posted 5 days apart, they were advised to find someone else as it seems their date doesn’t respect their values (case 1) or value them enough to spend money on them (case 2).

Well, just 🤯

Staying downtown Columbus Hilton for my wife’s job conference and we have to use valet parking since I need to use my car to go to work every day. $40 a day, how much do I tip and is it when I drop my car off and when they bring it to me in the morning?

Sometimes when I make a mistake at work I feel like I am not good enough for the job while other times I take it as “let’s do better next time.” Would love to find a balance between the two feelings.

Still thinking about how a couple months ago i got so obliterated i started trying to speak Spanish w my Uber driver even after he told me he was not in fact Latino but Iranian to which i replied that my uncle knew someone who had been part of the hostage crisis 🫢
