I think people take religion at face value and it is just wrong. There are plenty of good things in it such as seaweed in the Epic of Gilgamesh and frankincense/myrrh in the Bible. I suppose the big picture is to take care of yourself and each other. Perhaps the first part is delusional know that I read what I was thinking.

I received my fnf from Accenture today. I don't know why 18k as 'other perquisite' is mentioned in income tax computation sheet?

*asking for someone else*
Hi lady fish,

I’ve been with Accenture for 10 years and am about to take maternal leave. I got an interesting conversation with HR yesterday about leaving Accenture after maternal leave, and the kicker is to join the client. I got a couple of questions for you guys:

One...did anyone leave Accenture right after maternal leave? If so, what happened? Did they have to pay back anything?

Any young professionals consider moving to Middle East for work?

Guys, need one quick suggestion -

28th Jan(after 2 days) is my joining date in one of the organisation.. meanwhile I get a call from one of captive company for final managerial discussion scheduled for today itself.
I doubt they can release offer in just 2 days if all good, having said that tomorrow is holiday.
Ques- should I tell after 2 days I have to join one of organization. Or can I tell, still I am with current organisation and serving np, probably 60 days left and wait for their offer..

Hey guys, what is the best responses for a late 1042 payment penalty notice?

Guys I had a terrible nightmare this morning. Apparently I saw two middle aged men burning alive in a hotel room. And then I woke up.
Too much game of thrones or is there some meaning to this lol

Bhai log kaisa hai Accenture? Got level 10, security family group hai. Bata do jara doston thoda ghana jo bhi pata hai, dua dunga.

Reached theoretical financial freedom (4% of networth covers 120% of my yearly spending)
What should I do?
-Motivation to grind at BCG is not here anymore and honestly the experience here was underwhelming (~1y as a C, lateralled from other firm)
-Still too risky to open own lifestyle business
-Option to exit to industry for a few years at a 9-6 job?
-Option to do some side hustles?

Anything I should consider when making my decision? Any risks I haven't foreseen?

Thanks!

Wish I could just stay asleep for the rest of my life

In an industry full of smart and driven people, I find it helpful to remind myself that I need to run my own race.

Constantly homesick, has been going on since I moved. Any tips to help get over it?

Not sleeping bc I don’t want to wake up for another week of the stressful, meaningless sameness. Please share how you carry on.

I can’t anymore I can’t 😭

My mood has been fluctuating so much lately. Some days (yesterday) I wake up feeling invincible and some days (today) want to hide myself the rest of the world and feel like nothing will ever get better. I’m trying to push myself to make plans with other ppl and am really self-conscious about it cuz I don’t want ppl to see me in low spirit.. any ideas on how to fix that?

News about Demi Lovato’s overdose is really devastating. Just goes to show that you can be successful with access to the best healthcare and resources but mental illness doesn’t discriminate

Just started Zoloft. Can I drink? I know it’s I’ll advised, but will it destroy my liver or just add to the depression?

I’ve been getting really depressed out of nowhere. It’s not really related to anything that’s going on in my life. Is there something wrong with the chemicals in my brain or something? I’m taking vitamin B12 and D3 but they’re not really helping

I’ve been depressed for years now and this past week I lost a dog I’ve had for 15 years; he was one of the only bright spots in my life and I’ve just found it so hard to focus or motivate myself on anything after this. I genuinely feel like I’m at rock bottom, Idk if I’m crazy to feel that way bc of a dog but I used to be able to control this and put up a front but now my depression and anxiety are starting to leak into my work conversations completely unintentionally, I wish this would stop :(

Any recommendation for a therapist around Jersey City/ NYC area? I have called 15 people so far and none of them are taking new clients. This isn't helping my anxiety.

Do meds work? I'm skeptical. Prescribed wellbutrin but haven't started yet.

Working to muster the courage to take the first pill of Lexapro (generic). How was the first weeks for you? I have a very intense project on the go and worried it'll impact my cognitive function and ability to perform (nausea etc..)

Second, how did you handle alcohol on it as well as weight gain and libido (male)?

I tried half a year of therapy but didnt work (burnt out from work, overcoming a breakup, and making peace with the feeling of being behind my friends in life)

Thanks all

My anxiety has been at bay after changing my job and just feeling like I HAVE control over my life. But now it's back because I feel like I'm behind in other aspects of my life (I.e dating). I have so many friends getting engaged and I just feel... anxious since I am SO single. I'm 27, and I know I'm at that age where people do but it just sucks. I've been on the apps too and it's just... more demotivating honestly than anything else

Does anyone have any advice on how to convince yourself life is worth it when you think it’s not. I’m a 28 year guy, just got laid off from my job, have aspergers, have no friends, can’t find a gf, why do I even try anymore at anything

How do you muster the energy to care about what you do?. My job is utter bullshit. It benefits no one and no thing. How does anyone in this business think any of this matters?!?

Hey Fam, I just had my first session with a therapist today and I’m actually feeling pretty good about it. Any tips on starting the process? It’s definitely overwhelming to try to cover everything...

I think it’s over with my SO of 3 years. He tells me he loves me and wants to work things through but has lied to me several times in the past - some which were the same mistake three times. He knows he needs professional help (he’s also on antidepressants and has PTSD) but I don’t know how I can trust him again. Feeling completely broken - cannot believe the situation we’re in. I’m so sad my heart is breaking and I don’t know what to do

Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with discrimination as an Asian in the workplace? In my company it seems like it’s a white boys club where and they just promote white ppl because they’re white. And then they have a lower bar for promotions for minorities (traditional minorities likes Hispanics and African Americans). Meanwhile they make Asians do all the work. I am not generalizing that this is how it is everywhere but it definitely is that way in my workplace. Any advice?
