I took a two-year career break after being laid off in early 2024 to focus on my mental and physical health. I’ve worked hard to get my life back on track and feel ready to return to tech. But the job market has me wondering if I’ve hurt my career by stepping away for so long. As a woman in tech, the anxiety is getting to me. I know I don’t want to be a housewife, I want to get back to work and rebuild my career. Did I mess up my future, or can I still make a comeback?

Anyone else’s day get thrown off when you lose a chapstick? Just me??

Guy stood me and my friends up (he’s with his friends), then texted us 3 hours later to come to a different bar where he and his friends are, and apologized profusely. Said no. Do I forgive him tomorrow?

Hi guys ! Looking for a Business analyst opening in any of the Investment banks. I am having 5 plus years of experience in Fund accounting/ Investment accounting BA profile.

Is it irrational for me to get an “ick” for this?

I went on a “date” recently. I paid for the tab as they were going to the bathroom. As we were leaving they said “thanks for lunch” — I was hoping they’d at least ask to Venmo me half as a kind gesture. Following lunch we grabbed dessert. I was hoping they’d offer to cover dessert since I covered lunch but it didn’t happen.

I am fine w/ paying but I was hoping the gesture would at least be presented… am I crazy?

What work/life event (if any) made you arrive to the conclusion “this is just a job”? How old were you? At what point in your career / How many years of tenure?
How did your attitude towards work and work-life balance change?
Have you ever revisited or regretted your conclusion? Why/why not?

What do you irrationally and harshly judge people for?

I assume that people who don’t rerack their weights at the gym allow themselves to live in filth and squalor and had their mothers wipe their bums until they were in middle school.

What do consultants do? I see Consultant titles pop up on here all the time and wonder what do y’all do? What are you consulting on? Seems interesting but i I googled and am still confused.

What are some good bowls besides this one?

How do you build rapport with your colleagues?

All my six-figure salary consultant friends are ranting about how poor they feel right now because their IRAs/portfolios are down. Think the people in this industry need to take time to volunteer or engage with some tougher parts of town and understand that by virtue of even having investment accounts, that they’re more financially safe than at least 50% of America. Sad to see

I’m so grumpy about new campus hires. Sometimes I’m judgmental (your hobby is “working on your golf swing,” really?). Sometimes I’m just exhausted by the worried earnestness. Sometimes I’m amazed that they seem to have zero useful skills, yet they’ll be making 150k easily in the not too distant future.

Inebriated thought...What if rhinos are simply unicorns that let themselves go?

I was about to talk trash about my truck driving friends and blame them for my heatwave related problems. Then I remembered that I drive an SUV, not zero emission, and I'm not doing much better for the environment than they are. I'll just ask them what if the climate change believers are right and see what they say.
