Idk why but for some reason the Michael Kors dress shirts from tj Max's fit me better than anything...I guess my one talent is fitting into cheap shirts.

How many of you have met your significant other at work?

My best friend has Celeste!

I am in a long distance relationship with someone who is currently in B school. He spends pretty much all his breaks and holidays traveling with his classmates. Most of the time I am fine. But for some important holidays and my birthday, I told him we should spend time together. He just said it’s more important for him to bond with his classmates and ignore my ask. It’s really disappointing and I don’t know what else to tell him. Is that a reasonable ask or am I being dramatic?

Any fishes up and looking to get to know each other? 32, male, straight, 6’4”, athletic, etc.
I am a pretty good cook and have found a recent love for cooking Asian food in woks. I dream of a mountain house with gas stoves, and a sun room. Though would accept a condo for more sleep these days haha

Deloitte 🌈🐠 - raise your hand if you are going to DU this week!

I am signing an offer this week at a different consulting firm, but want to stick it out through my project at my current firm over the next month. (Actually really enjoy the project just think the other firm is a better fit).

Am I obligated (morally or otherwise) to tell my firm that I’ve signed another offer? Or is it ok to stay on and work?

(Don’t have to start at the new firm for another month after that).

I joined EY a year ago as a senior and am very fed up with my group. I work on short-term projects with very scrutinized budgets, yet my utilization is supposed to be 100%, so my hours are scrutinized by the teams I work with and leadership. It feels like it's all they care about. Has anyone moved firms due to such reason?
