I’m torn between applying to a large corporate marketing team where I’d be a very small piece of a big machine, versus a smaller company where I’d own more channels but with less brand prestige. How do you usually weigh these options when you want growth and long-term stability?

Oh honey, let the market decide. Apply to both types of jobs and take the first job offered to you. It will take you months to find a new anyway.

I say apply for both and see what happens. Honestly the job market is really bad right now. I would see where you can get an offer and decide from there.

I’m in that exact tug of war right now. I try to just think about growth: will this place actually let me level up my skillset in a way that makes me more valuable. Prestige is cool, but doing work that forces you to think sharper is what builds long term stability.

Agreed apply to both jobs. What level are you right now?

Agree with everyone saying apply to both jobs. Then you shape the way you approach. In a smaller company you’ll get access to do more but then may need to overindex on ensuring you’re most current on trends and and what’s emerging which often times is a little more though osmosis and exposure at a big company even if you don’t own it.

Currently an associate at a mid-sized firm with “strong potential” to make partner at the end of this year. Things have been toxic for a while, but have cratered in 2021, with few signs there will be any positive changes on the horizon. What are the pros and cons of staying to make partner before trying to go in-house? I’d assumed it would be better to job search with that title on the resume, but am rethinking my assumptions the worse things get.

Curious as to how many deals at once is typical for a first year associate to take on (M&A, mostly private equity clients). Deal size is lower middle market and I’ve worked on deals ranging from $1-$110M. 2 deals at once is plenty for me, but it seems like my peers are able to take on more than that at once and still do fine. Maybe I’m just a slow learner/out of my league at the big law firm I’m at.

Hi folks, my base location as per EY GDS offer letter is Noida but I want it to be Gurgaon as my hometown is in Jaipur and Gurgaon is more convenient for me..

However, I feel that in case my base location is not being changed, I should shift to Noida rather than Gurgaon as there might be any formalities or facilities which we need to avail in our base location only.. Any thoughts?

I had an LH surge couple of weeks back and for the past few days my breasts are tender and I am having some taste aversions like yesterday yoghurt tasted like mud. Since my cycle is irregular I took another ovulation test today morning and it came back positive. This is my first time going through this and I am confused as to what is going on. Can I take a pregnancy test middle of the day?
