I’m turning 30 in a few months, and getting ready to move across the country to be closer to family and friends. Like many others, the last year has been the most challenging of my life. Any book suggestions that might be insightful in this pivotal chapter of my life?

How do you deal with parental guilt when you have to miss things? When my child was a baby it wasn't as big of a deal as long as I was around for the big stuff and was pulling my weight parent wise.

I know being successful in my career will set them up for the future, but it feels like I'm letting them down right now.

Small firm (my boss, me, & a paralegal). After a hearing I did not handle, boss intended to seek review of the ruling in its entirety. What was communicated to me by paralegal was to seek review of a portion.

Seeking review is now time-barred. Boss is not upset, but this is 1 case & 1 problem. There are other cases & other stories.

How do I talk to my boss about being more present (boss is never in office, has “too many” emails, never answers his phone) without being seen as insubordinate?

Hello my fellow shoal of fish. I am seeking recommendations for a lounge chair in my office.

Im putting in a 55” tv and need a recliner, lounge chair, or something of the sorts to put in front of the tv. Something where i can put my feet up. Conference calls are such a drag when i have to sit at my desk.

Interviewing with PVH for a project coordinator role. I think I may be overqualified (3 year consultant but wants to exit to Fashion). Would love to know what the interview process entails, some salary insights, and overall satisfaction. Thanks!

Recently started going through the interview process. I ended up going through 2 interviews in about a week. After the first interview I heard back the following day saying that they wanted to meet for a second one. It’s been about 4 days now since the second interview, which felt like it went great, and still haven’t heard anything. Am I being impatient or should I have heard back by now? I already sent a thank you message after the second interview, should I try to follow up again?
