I'm sort of over Pokemon Go, novelty has worn off. What am I missing that has everyone else hooked?

Any F in nyc wanna hang out this weekend? 30 M here.

One of my average looking friend was complaining that they are tired of dating ugly people.

Good ways to meet women in DC? I’m a 27/M if it matters.

Matched with a guy on Tinder. Had a great first date. We are stilling chatting on WhatsApp. But he has disappeared from my tinder (presumably, he unmatched with me). Is it typical for ppl to unmatch on Tinder when they are still interested in you?

How do you fellow workaholics find time for dating?

For those of you in your mid-20’s, how often do you go on dates with your significant other? In a serious relationship for the first time since college and trying to gauge what folks consider normal for dating frequency (excluding nights in). Context - we’re 25, dating for 3 months, live 5 mins away from each other, decent WLB

I’m so single I don’t know why. I’ve tried dating apps, played social sports, done hobbies that interest me, and even stopped looking. After all that, I still haven’t found someone #dyingalone

Advice on dating someone long distance? Kinda big price tag just to see each other.

Someone once said, if you are entrepreneurial enough, any app can be used as a dating app. I see that happening here on fishbowl when i came across this bowl 😂

Men of FB, how did you girlfriends / wives sex drive change with age?

Once when I was waiting tables, I had a guy pay me cash. The change was 45 cents, which I didn't give back to him because like who wants that. He then asked where the change was, and when I explained that I didn't give back the loose change, he made a big stink about how dollars and cents matter and didn't leave me a tip. He was a republican staffer on capitol hill.

Anyone know a place to safely meet other kinksters?

Any thoughts on open relationships? Has anyone tried one? I’m curious. Kinda wanna explore that but unsure.

I miss the times (circa 2006 - 2010)where it was quite normal to go out and meet girls and have them take you back home for the night. Such a great time to be alive. Now, everyone is so caught up with that digital app dating life and no one goes out anymore to meet people. So sad.

I am not able to upload my tax declaration details from the greyHR portal. It is showing an error message since morning. Is there anyone else who is facing the same issue

Hi Guys,
I have around 4 years of experience in C++...I got a new offer from a Product company For Java/Jswing role...Is it OK to change to different technology now...I am considering this offer as they are providing WFH.

I work heavily in AWS and am looking to learn another cloud platform. I have zero knowledge of azure and gcp and would like input on which to learn. Azure would make sense since its the second largest in terms of market share, but GCP seems far more interesting and technically challenging with things like Kubernetes and BigQuery.

Question about remote job negotiations

I'm currently interviewing for a remote role for a company based in NY.

The thing is I'm based in a different city (southern U.S.)

My question is:

When it comes time to talk compensation, should I base the market rate for the role on my city of residence or NY?

Would it make sense to ask them directly how they determine comp for NY-bases vs. other city-based employees?

Anyone have experience with this?

My manager continues to ask me to help other teams and do work on other billable projects. I’m sick of it .. and I’m going to explicitly say that no I can’t do it because my hours are taken by the existing project we are doing. Is this appropriate?

For anyone going temp-to-perm or anyone who already has, did you negotiate anything into your temp contract about revisiting the option for perm? ie, say, in 6 months, discuss perm options? Thanks!!

Friendly reminder that even in a national quarantine, you still shouldn’t text your ex.

I have a requirement to insert a row in database only if it meets following requirements
Ex: there is a column "points", a new record should be inserted only if points in the new record is greater than highest points already inserted in db or else throw that points are less

How i should approach this if i get lot of requests (say 10k) all a time. How can I achieve consistency and handle with less response time

Serious question: Sheraton cancelled my reservation and I was stranded for a night last night. Called CS and my useless ambassador and they cant help and “sorry”. How do I escalate this?

Currently at Big 4. Have offers for a PL/Principal at MBB and for a VP role at a Fortune 20 company. The VP role is more interesting and comp a bit better but I’m told would accelerate faster at MBB. The initial plan was to end up at MBB. What’s the best for future flexibility?

Just fired my therapist. Feels better than it should

Has anyone left EY and submitted a wageworks reimbursement in their last two weeks that they got paid for?

How does your firm measure utilization? I work for a small boutique that defines it as utilization = number of billable hours/2,080 and full bonus payout occurs at 80% plus.

Just saw a dude walk into the bathroom and do his business all whilst holding on to his carry on.

I make $4000/M after taxes and max 401K and spend about $2400 for all fixed costs (rent, utilities, etc). With roughly $1600 left, and with a strong goal of saving as much as I can, what are some recommendations on how I should allocate my money better. I know this is vague but need some better financial planning.

So apparently accenture is making people who are on the bench enroll into a mandatory customer service role even if you’re 100% utilized. Friend took 3 weeks of PTO and has been on the bench for a few days and he is being forced. Worst part? It’s Tues-Saturday.

Bain fish, does anyone know how utilization in North America is trending for this year?

All I want to do is curl up in bed with hot tea and a good book. Recommendations for if I ever achieve said dream?
