So, I’m going to purses Masters in Business Analytics form a “not so reputed” university in the US. My profile says I attend UTA but I’m transferring to another university due to some unforeseen circumstances. Had connected to some alumni of that university and asked about the overview of the program and it concludes that courses aren’t up to the mark. However, I have worked in the domain before and know how to use some analytical tools. What should be my plan now to get a job in next 20 months?

I have a pretty passionate hate for those who have “no fault” divorces. These people can’t keep one single promise in their life even when they have the choice of anyone on an entire planet and are not forced one bit into a decision.

My boyfriend is not the best at providing emotional support. I’m pretty sure a lot of it stems from him not being able to fully express his emotions when he was younger. Does this mean our relationship is doomed or is there anything we can do to work on this? I just want to feel supported and that he is there for me.

My husband and I are going through our 2nd cycle. He initially asked me to allow his sister to administer my injections because she’s a nurse and I refused. I don’t like depending on people when I am capable of doing things myself. This is taking an emotional toll on me already, but I don’t want him to feel like I’m refusing his help and excluding him from the process, because I won’t take his suggestion. How do I get him to understand?

A unit in TCS is trying to retain me saying if they revise the ctc (from their unit bugedt) and provide an Indonesian onsite opportunity, will you revoke your papers. Is it worth taking this chance?

It’s not even 1pm and I’m already sleepy 😴

As someone currently applying to business school and seeing others I know enter their first year at elite schools, I feel an intense, crippling toxicity towards them. Extreme jealousy and feeling like I’m not as good. I don’t know how to get over this.
