I Will Survive (The song) Describes my relationship with Consulting to a T

My gf and I have been dating for almost a year and are thinking of moving in together. From your experience, would you consider that too soon? How long did you and your partner date before living together?

AITA? If my SO of 1 year wants to get a dog, do I get an opinion? We don’t live together

I've got some friends who work remote jobs, and every day I grow more jealous of them during my one-hour commute.

Parents - do any of you truly regret having kids?

Salam. 23M here - all my life I’ve had my back on our faith - never really prayed but had imaan (I guess). After bouts of depression from girl problems (🙄), issues within immediate family, being disappointed expectations I had for myself, etc. I’ve been working on bettering my situation over the years. Faith is the only area where I think I need more guidance. Having trouble relating to friends or family about this. Anyone else been thru something similar? How have you connected back to Islam?

This is the only bowl I can think to post in, but I'm really feeling it today. Has anyone lost their best friend (i.e. through time/growing up) and feel like none of their current friends could live up to the fun/connection you used to have with your high school BFF? I feel like I put too much focus on that one friend and also my boyfriend and just never actually made time for anyone else. I fucked myself over.

My partner was very recently diagnosed with Lyme disease. Does anyone who has experience being in a relationship with someone with Lyme have any advice?

For reference, I’m 23 and we’ve been dating for a little less than a year. Thank you in advance!

Anyone know any good divorce lawyers in NYC?
Thanks in advance 🙇🏾‍♀️

I’m (early30s) about 8 months into a relationship with a 40m. Things are wonderful in every aspect, but he is absolutely atrocious with his finances. I felt it becoming an issue about two months ago. He forgets about auto payments and just generally doesn’t care. I sat down with him and looked at everything and even after talking it out he still continues to stress and it’s now causing me stress. I had a final discussion with him today about it and he went on abt how love isn’t enough for me…

A guy that I’ve been seeing over the past few months just lost his job - what can I do to support him? Not his SO and we are quarantining with our respective families on opposite coasts, but I like him a lot and want to show that I care without being overbearing/overstepping boundaries. BTW he’s also a consultant and got let go after reviews due to performance reasons and his firm not doing so well.

I want to thank everyone in this bowl for getting me trough the nightmare that is PCOS related fertility issues. After 1.5 years of trying, two rounds of medicated IUI, accupuncture and every other homeopathic treatment available, a vanished twin…. Hubby and I welcomed our little girl on Friday at 37 weeks. She’s perfect. It was conversations in THIS bowl that gave me the hope and advice I needed to get here. So thank you, all of you- and to those that need it - hang in! There is hope.

Hi. I teach EBD kids in WA at a day treatment program. Looking forward to connecting with everyone

Brought my gf sushi take out to her house when she got off of work. She didn't like the meal I got her and started to eat the roll i got for myself. She noticed I wasn't eating so I told her I ate before rather than tell her she was actually eating my dinner. She's now mad at me that I "lied" even though I did it so she wouldn't be embarrassed. Who's in the wrong

Just started Succession. Does the world of advertising have a family similar to the Roys?

How many of you feel it’s important to marry a Brahmin?

As much as I talk about wanting a man to take care of me financially, I have way too much pride to allow it when it actually happens

Why are sibling relationships so complicated? We live in the same city. 23M w 21M bro in same city. We’ve always clashed, got closer in 2016-2019, then in covid started fighting and not being close. 2021 summer we got into some bad fights where he said some hurtful things that made me kind of hold a grudge until our fight in September. 2022 we’ve gotten a lot closer and only minimally clashed but still even tho we share personal things sometimes and have more mutual respect, cont

Will it be okay if I marry a woman , asking in terms of my mental health ? I’m succumbing to the family and societal pressure .
I’ll always be loyal to my partner, but is there anyway I could curb my gay side completely? A conversion therapy or something?

I'm going from working at a non IT industry to an IT firm. As an introvert I've faced a lot of difficulty in my career... Now since I'm also shifting to another industry completely, I'm feeling very insecure about my life at work. Please give me tips on how to make friends and be in the good books of the managers.

Anyone else stuck here without family? I'm in SF and my roommates are going home to their families tonight and i'm going to be alone, it's going to be a long 3 weeks..... 😭😭😭

Best school districts? I looked online but have seen mixed reviews

Is it too late in our lives to jump into a mortgage?

So my fiancée and I are relatively late in terms of finally landing well paying jobs and being able to save money instead of living paycheck to paycheck. We’re both 36 and currently rent a 2 bedroom in NY and have a combined savings of $35,000 which she wants to use as a down payment on a condo. I kinda just wanna continue saving while renting. I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.

Sooo who’s working on Pfizer’s covid vaccine?

With everyone seeming to be “hiring” I’ve had job interviews with various firms: EY, Plante Moran, Doren Mayhew, Rehmann, to name a few..
Apparently I just suck at interviewing, or the firms in my area are not hiring. 🤦

What does someone make after 3 years post undergrad at Trinity, Clearview, ZS, or similar?

Would you date an ex army/marine who has actually been through wars (and killed people) and told you that they can hear ringing noises?

I joined IBM around year ago.
i have 9 YOE and i was given band 7A saying its lead role.
However in project i was treated as team member l. Initially i was okay as i thought i will be familiar with environment and later will take more responsibility.
But then they gave me release after few months.
No hike also this year.
Future also seems unclear as i feel low self-esteem seeing collegues my experience earning well and having better roles.
I really think joining IBM was wrong decision.

What are some best practices for verifying the security of internally developed code?

New joiner. What should I get with my $250 wfh stipend? I already have standing desk, dual monitor, portable monitor, and good headset, not too sure what else I need, but it’s free money. Thanks.

Are consultants only seemingly more capable (at times) because we dedicate all our client-facing time on a single project vs. juggling multiple projects? All my client's leadership teams seem like a mess but I think it's just due to their lack of opportunity to focus on anything for long enough to know what's going on. Am I thinking about this completely wrong?

Why do you prefer electric toothbrush to the regular?

How much are you willing to pay or currently paying for a personal trainer? Found a trainer who offered to train me twice a week for $50 a session. I don't know if this is the average rate or if I should look elsewhere. This will be my first time hiring a trainer

Applying for an Associate role at McK Ops practice after being actively sourced by multiple recruiters. I was excited about it at first, but struggling to find bandwidth for case practicing. I’ve pushed interviews to a later time already to accommodate for my schedule, but now I’m even busier than before. I’m second guessing whether I should go through with it, as the prospect of an even worse WLB is off-putting. Should I just stop the process? Or just see what happens?

Big 4 to West Monroe transition thoughts/experiences? (E.g. WLB, benefits, culture, projects, etc) TIA!

I know Mck is the top for strategy, but in terms of digital/design in top consulting firms which do you think is better? Mckinsey digital or deloitte digital? (Or another..?)

Exploring the idea of moving to the West Coast (LA, SD, SEA) I’ve been in Philadelphia 90% of my adult life and feel like I’m getting too comfortable. 26M- most likely switching to another firm. Any tips or thoughts would be appreciated!

Which health insurance options does EY offer in the D.C area?

Does anyone predict another layoff season in October?

Why is everyone saying to buy puts when I’m fairly sure everyone has missed the boat on that, unless you locked it in before this week?
