Pregnant IBanking Director who will be a single mom needs advice on negotiating maternity leave - I have been with a boutique Ibank for 10 hrs and wish to ask for paid maternity leave and flexible WFH for another 3 months. Can you share any precedents form the industry? Our company policy is terrible (12 wk unpaid) and I wish to use my leverage to advocate for changing the policy for all future parents, not just for myself. Many thanks in advance.

Freelancers: What do you do for health insurance?

Have 2 outstanding offers, same rate and benefits. One for senior consultant from Big 4, another for manager from a private luxury brand.

Private sounds like there will be more WLB but I currently have no Big 4 experience. One of my motivations to leave my otherwise comfortable role is for career growth. I'm in my mid 30s, no major family responsibility, just me and my husband so long hours shouldn't really be an issue

Would appreciate any thoughts since I'm still flip flopping between the two

What would you do? I’m 7w pregnant and don’t want to tell anyone yet. Have an upcoming shoot (6 hour plane ride) and agency said anyone can opt out for coronavirus fears. I’d hate to miss it. Help!

Hi I am looking for possible opportunities as an Occupational Therapist to move towards the non-clinical side of healthcare in the Denver area.

Parental leave policies. The best and the worst in adland? Please respond with your agency policy. Include policy for fathers and adoptive parents too.

I feel very lost. I just started as an associate at a big firm this year and have a one year old son. Learning how to be a mom and an associate has been extremely tough and I have felt burnt out on multiple occasions this year. Prior to having a child, I was a very determined individual and was used to saying yes to almost everything because I wanted to accomplish those things. Nowadays I feel like I don’t care about my job as much and being away from him gets more and more difficult.

So my bf of 3 months put on some weight. He wasn’t the fittest before, but he’s put on some weight due to stress from work and holidays. It’s starting to bother me. How do I tell him he should loose some? I’ve hinted on work out classes together, training for a run together and told him I’ll be dropping 5 pounds in the next 3 weeks to get ready for a beach holiday end of year, but he’s like “cool. Go for it! I’ll take it slow”
Any ideas that doesn’t hurt his feelings ?

Stupid question but getting a divorce now and having a hard time figuring out what to do with sentimental things such as wedding pictures, travel pics, ornaments we bought together, etc. What did you do? Relationship was over 12 years and don’t know what to do. Should I jus pretend that those 12 years never happened or she was not there?

Divorce is amicable and based on growing apart rather than bc of cheating or fighting or anything else..

I need financial advise.. I have not invested into any RRSP or pension plans. I honestly feel behind now and I don’t know much about how to get started. Can anyone share their thoughts and strategies for leveraging company’s matching programs?

Which cities have better opportunities for such roles? Please give me multiple aspects to consider.

Which city has prospects for growing at rapid pace?

I personally don't prefect fast cities like Mumbai.

Anyone have a manager that has a grudge against you? My manager missed something a few months ago which led to him explaining something wrong in a meeting with our other boss. I corrected him/gave him the answer (unthinkingly I'll admit) after our boss left, and since then he's had the worst attitude with me and only me. It's making work so awkward. What's the best way to solve this?

I have a rare (< 20 cases) skin condition near my vulvar area that causes mini bumps that resemble warts almost. I am extremely insecure about it and the laser treatment will take the course of this entire year. I’ve met a guy I liked and I want to hookup with him but I am terrified what he will think. How will I explain this? I cry to myself in my room all the time because of this insecurity and no longer know how to live

👩🏻‍💻 PART 4: 3rd full day with 11-month-old and without husband. Little guy cried off and on for an hour last night which wasn’t the greatest but he woke up in a good mood this morning and napped well at daycare. Super proud of myself — I managed to get something cooked while wrapping up work. Dinner was a good temp when Bébé and I got home from daycare. Had to work from 7-9 tonight but was able to unplug from 4-7. I’m tired.

Should I continue working on big public audit clients or take an opportunity to work a 9-6 job that I can spend more time with my toddler at home?

Hi mamas! We are looking into childcare options when I go back to work in September and my baby will be 5 months old at that point. What are the pros and cons to each option (daycare vs nanny vs in-home care etc)? I’m a FTM and it’s stressing me out big time to trust my baby to a stranger.

Anyone experience their LO’s going through sleep regressions around 1.5 year mark? My daughter has always been a great sleeper but lately she’s been waking up around 3am every night sitting up in her crib and crying. Once I go in her room change her diaper and give her water, she seems okay and falls pretty quickly back to sleep. Any advise and suggestion is welcome!

I really need to get this off my chest. I’m physically and mentally exhausted trying to look for work this last 6 months. I’ve been networking, applying to jobs i qualify for and I’ve had my resume professionally reviewed. Had couple of interviews and NOTHING. I’m at the end my rope here. If I don’t find work soon my family will be sleeping on someone’s couch.. I’m just so tired. Tomorrow morning I’m going to the local staffing agency to seek help…

Hey ladies. I need some advice. I drive a Chevy 2500 express cargo van for work but the battery keeps dying on me! I live in New Hampshire on the coast so the seawater is always spraying frozen mist all over our vehicles. Sometimes it’ll start with my 12v starter pack but right now it’s not even turning over. My pack is fully charged. Anybody have some insight?

Happy Mother’s Day all!! You ladies rock!!

Mamas, I am stressing a lot because next month, we won’t have health insurance anymore as I quit my job for a better opportunity. I don’t care much about us but more about my baby as she needs to go see the pediatrician for her vaccines. Is there a private insurance you can recommend? All the ones I saw are $400 a month with high deductible :( I also applied to Chip (apparently, we are eligible but I am afraid they don’t cover the practice we are using). I am really lost :(
