I used to think my hometown was boring, but after being deployed for six months, there's genuinely no other place I would rather be in. Does that happen often? I moved to my hometown again and feel happier and at peace.

I don’t know why, but the combination of election uncertainty mixed with being in production on three separate projects is making me reaaaaaaally hungry. 🍳🥪🥗🌮🧆🍿🍪🍩

Hi Sharks,
I am waiting for IBM offer from 3 months, HR says he is still waiting for approvals and may get it post this quarter. Shall I wait or it’s already lost opportunity?

recommendations for $100-$200 black loafers for work and go out (without socks). Searching ones with the metal band on front.

Thinking of getting Botox after things get back to normal. What are some of the things to look for? Questions to ask? Also how much do you typically spend per session in a HCOL?

I work for an agency, but in a very specific vertical. Thinking about having a side hustle to work jobs outside of my vertical while remaining at an agency. Anyone have success keeping these two things separate?

9/27 check-in: What are everyone’s plans for today?

For me- treadmill, shoulders, chest.

Go to industry if you don't want to travel. Keep consulting travel-based.

Received a formal offer (DocuSign contract and everything), Asked the HR rep a couple of follow up questions regarding specifics, and have now been ghosted 48+ hours....

Is it unusual to have a partner midway through a small engagement hand over his partner responsibilities to a Sn Mng (not on the engagement) and force the existing Sn Mng to report to them?

I received a really nice message from a nice looking guy on a dating app and I responded the next day, I never heard back 😭 why is this happening to me?

Been working as a DA for about 7 years but really want to work in oral surgery (work in general ) but I need to know if oral surgery pays more or is is the same pay

I’m considering making a huge career change from litigation paralegal to legal operations. I have no experience in legal operations per se however, I have 12 years as a customer service manager, and trainer, as well as 17 years as a Litigation Paralegal. I love being a litigation paralegal, but I’ve always enjoyed being on the operations side in customer service specifically working for corporations, like Sprint, PCS, and managing up to 43 customer service representatives. Thoughts please?!

Will I hate myself if I work NY hours from London? ~~ aspiring digital nomad~~

This might not be possible, but I would like to know how I would go about getting paperwork about my late grandfather who served in the Navy during WWII. Does anyone know how or even if I could do this?

Does anyone else feel like they have become too utilitarian and objective?

If anyone here is wondering how to best use their GI Bill... I HIGHLY recommend using the GI Bill comparison tool. Has anyone else here used it??

There's one thing that differentiates the American soldiers from others, and it's our love for our country. Agree?

How does one decide to take risks and apply for news job when the state of the economy and the world is ever changing. We know salaries are going up, but employers struggle doling out the cash. Is it better to stick where you are or jump into something new?

I'm not sure if I love this life! I was entirely sure when I decided to enroll in the military, but after a few months, I felt exhausted. Could I have made a mistake?

The feeling of avoiding mines buried on the gorund is one I carry at all times, and I remember the fear and the anxiety at every step. I still feel like this today, like every decision I make will lead to disaster.

Is the military a well-paid career? I’m asking for my future.

Best non-profit organization that support military families / veterans?

I remember the first time I held a gun in firing practice when I was a recruit. Like it was yesterday. Does anyone else have a super vivid memory like this?

Do you think the military life harder for people with ADHD or does the highly structured environment help with the symptoms?

Looking back... We were all very lonely during deployment. How did you cope with it?

I'm a little over the weight limit for serving in the Air Force but it's my dream, so I would appreciate any advice on how to lose weight quickly

How have you maintained your mental stability while serving?

What are some benefits that veterans can use?

Are there any incentives to being in the military beyond veteran benefits?

On the last days of deployment, my whole squad chatted about what they would do when they came back. I never felt so anxious as I didn't have anything planned. I joined the army at 19, and never worked at anything else. That was three years ago and I'm still trying to find another career, any advice?

Don't ever forget you're still a human being, so treat yourself as one! What are some things you do to clear your mind?

Has someone ever questioned your decision to join the military? I always argue about it with my father. He believes you must be a little crazy to join the forces and withstand the things you see while deployed. I always tell him he must be crazy too for being a dentist. Why would you want to put your hands inside someone's mouth all day?

It just feels so good to enjoy a quiet moment with your friends after a day in the field, the feeling of companionship can be felt even through the silence. I'll never forget those moments.
