Try joining GABWA or whatever the right affinity group is for you. It tends to be easier to form relationships in person.

I did join GABWA and I’m on the email list, but I haven’t really seen too many in person activities this year.

Are you looking for a mentor for TILPP? You can also do it without a mentor. As for a job, just keep applying. It’s a competitive market but something will stick.

Nope. Just a mentor to learn from. I’ve completed TILPP.

How long did it take you to feel *useful* in your in-house role?

She mainly wants relocation and flexible PTO since she will have to go and move from Maryland to Delaware.

Not a consulting question: I screwed up big time in my relationship 2 years ago. I split with someone because I did not have the conviction to be vulnerable and fight for her with my parents. Truth is I gave up too soon and really broke her heart. She’s been through hell and back since, had to see a therapist. It’s been 2 years now. She’s still single but she’s practically over me. I now know I could have done a 99 things differently. I think about reconciliation a 1000 times a day.What do I do?
