Is there anyone else questioning whether they will ever find love due to this job? I’m a SM looking at director promo this July. I work all the time and it just seems to get worse each year. I have no time for a GF even if I wanted one. As an introvert i’m perfectly fine being on my own, but now all of my siblings have serious partners and i’m clearly the fifth wheel. Even when I contemplate leaving my job to pursue a relationship, there’s no guarantee i’ll ever find someone. Can anyone relate?

How do you leave but leave in such a way that you’ll have a way back into the firm if needed? I have some great relationships. Tenure here is short, but family life has changed and I need to

Just found out one of my best friends from college died from cancer. We haven't kept in touch but I saw a mutual friend occasionally. I am so shocked I'm not sure how to react right now.

What do you irrationally and harshly judge people for?

I assume that people who don’t rerack their weights at the gym allow themselves to live in filth and squalor and had their mothers wipe their bums until they were in middle school.

I’ve got a very good friend in EY advisory. She hasn’t been replying to my messages for 2 months now. It’s out of her character. I don’t know if it’s cause of her workload or there other issues. Anyone from the same field? Is it stressful times for you guys??

Hi i lost majority of my money in the stock market. I married and promised my family that I will not make the mistake I made 7 years ago. Gambling. Is this an addiction I have. I keep selling stocks and taking loses buying other stock hoping it will recover but never did and sell again taking loses and buy again. It now sink in to me. I borrow personal loan hoping that the market will do k and I pay it back but I even lost that. I can't stop crying that I hurt the one I love the most my family.

Does ADHD have a big impact on your memory? It feels like if I don't have constant reminders set or leave notes for myself I can forget ANYTHING even if it's really important to me. I think it's making my partner feel like I don't remember the things they say or don't care to listen. What can I do?? Not on medication but if it helps with this I'd take it.

Is anyone else hoping for an insane blizzard to hit mid-next week so they have an excuse not to drive downstate to spend Thanksgiving with their extended family? Some of my family's FB posts since last week's elections tell me it's going to be a long holiday weekend.

Help!! My bestfriend is doing two months abroad and was trying to fly into turkey when they told her she couldn't because her passport expired within three months.

She went to the US Embassay in Athens knowing she had a month left of traveling, and gave her an emergency passport and punched holes in her exsisting one. Now no country will let her in with her emergency passport.

Can her mom get her a passport in the US and ship it to her? Is there anyway around this?

Thank you!!

Traveled for the first time this week since COVID and got the dreaded “do you have kids?” question at team dinner. Him-“do you have kids?” Me- “No, I don’t.” Him-“Oh good! That’s the right choice!!” Me (awkwardly)- “I still have time… I’m not even 30 yet!” (Team member who knows about our 3 month and 6 month miscarriages looking on with THE saddest face) Ughhhh. He had absolutely no idea and meant well since everyone was talking about their kids but gosh…I wish this didn’t have to be a thing😩

What can I expect as a husband of someone going through IVF?

Anyone deal with their families not really liking your career choice? I always hear about it during the holidays and get told that "it's not too late to do something else."

Getting induced tomorrow and still don’t have a name for baby girl! We have a polish last name, any ideas?

I’m a mess and have no one to contact. ie this is a cry for friendship.

Man I forgot how wild hometowns can be. Ran into an old friend in traffic at a stop light he rolled down his window and I asked him how he’d been he said he’d walked in on his girlfriend of 3 years cheating on him last Sunday. I don’t even know where I’m going with this that was just something I didn’t think i’d hear while driving

People who successfully came back with their EX after a break and have a much better and successful relationship than before. Please share your story including how long you were apart before reuniting.

My husband and I are ready to start trying for kids. I’m a little nervous about how much he wants a boy. He keeps talking about his little guy and the fun guy things they’ll do together. It’s not that he wouldn’t be a good dad to a daughter but he grew up with just brothers and largely male cousins. Still, I’m nervous because treating a boy and girl similarly is super important to me. Red flag or don’t sweat it?

Asking my friend to be one of my bridesmaids this weekend. Doing the others around Christmas. Should I have her wait until everyone has been asked before she posts on social media? Kinda seems like a weird rule unless that’s the norm now.

What do you guys do when prospects or clients bring their kids with them? Have found this to be super distracting...

To the extroverts: make sure to schedule time with friends & family daily, to keep mood positive and energy level high. Lack of socialization can be a downer. What are others doing to interact?

Moving to the area for work and was wondering if I live off of the San Bernardino metrolink line, when I bring the train in to Union Station and then transfer to the LA metro system, will I end up ...

Any advice for starting to get back in shape? I used to be in good shape, doing orange theory all the time, but stopped going. I haven’t worked out in months besides walking.

So I quit and now the partner is telling other managers that I betrayed the company, that they had a good plan for me etc. what’s your experience like after quitting your firm. Did you hear a lot of things to make you feel guilty ?

If you are a high performer and you give your two weeks, do partners try to convince you to stay? Has anyone ever took a counter offer? I have heard it a bad idea to take it. Opinions?

2 months of mandatory early morning meetings on both Saturday and Sunday should be outlawed🙃

Been seeing many stories about big salary increases with counteroffers. Do people really get an interview with another employer, receive an offer and then present it to their current employer? Or they just tell their PML they receive an offer from Linkedin w/o actually going for an interview. Asking because I wonder how one continues to work at the same firm knowing you already had an interview with someone else.

How do you as a leader of a team effectively manage when it requires you to ask your team to fulfill unrealistic demands? Serious question. Like when you have to authentically push folks and carry a team forward while also feeling that they are being exploited in a ridiculous situation of attempting what’s been asked.

Hello! Wondering how difficult it is to transfer offices as an S1? How far in advance should I ask for the transfer and any other tips I should know? Thanks for the help!

I’m genuinely really not sure how to make this decision I have coming up. I’ve been offered a start-up role by a long time friend for an overly generous amount in cash and some equity. I am well established in my group and team and really have been buckled in on staying here for the long haul. We are talking about a 100% increase though and at my level it’s hard to not consider and I also love this guy on a human level so I feel stuck.

I got an inquiry for a FP & A position in a Fortune 500 corporation. What does this position really do? My experience is largely in assurance services. Anyone with thoughts.

Feeling lost in my 20s - wondering if anyone else feels similarly. I have a great job, boyfriend, friends, etc, but I feel like I am consistently bored in my career after a year at any job passes. I have gone thru multiple job changes which have kept me satisfied for a time, but as soon as I learn my duties, I am terribly bored and struggle to get through the weeks, everything feels monotonous and honestly like a waste of time. Anyone else? Does this mean I’m choosing the wrong jobs?
