Just turned 20 and realized I suck at making meaningful social interactions and just making friends in general. My best friend is my SO. I’m in my senior year of school and interning at the same time and feeling a bit down since I have major social anxiety and can’t seem to connect with my peers in college. Any hope for me once I’m in full-time?

My partner of over 1 year dropped a comment that made me feel very uneasy. He said that he loves everything about me but wishes I was a bit more socially active. I love being on my own, reading, watching series, FaceTiming friends and family abroad. I moved to London 2 years ago and because of the pandemic it has been hard to establish solid relationships here. Am I being too much for feeling hurt and insecure suddenly about this or is my partner a bit of a dick for making that comment.

Does Deloitte cover your whole gym membership?

You know it's time to drop a few lbs when you realize the massage chair in the nail salon is making the jello jiggle big time 😭

Why is everyone freaking out? I was told it's just like the flu.

I have my frozen embryo transfer next month. I just got my “schedule”. Coming in day 2 and day 12, again day16 and a few other days here and there. All I could think about was how in the world am I...

Do you think it is easier to overcome cheating in a relationship that has or does not have children involved? Listening to an interesting podcast and would love to know peoples take on the topic

I buy things I don’t need and don’t know how to fix it. I always blamed it on “drunk buying” but I’ve been sober for 355 days and it persists. I know I buy things in an effort to fill a void and try to feel something so I buy “things” but it doesn’t help and I know it. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Do you feel KPMG is putting people at risk encouraging to go back to the office? It’s not mandatory yet but I can see leadership promoting/expecting and those following would eventually fall in their good books. How hard is it to understand that pandemic is not over by any means?

I’m traveling to Maine from Georgia in a couple of weeks and will be flying into Boston and renting a car. I am reading about Mass. Covid travel rules and I am wondering if I would qualify as a transitory traveler since I’m just passing through. The website only talks about people that are driving through so I was wondering if anyone has done something similar recently. Also, if anyone has flown into BOS recently, how did they check to see if you exempt from the Covid rules?

Any gym recommendation in Central London that I can access with ClassPass? Ideally around Oxford street/ Euston

I keep forgetting to ask about this but I noticed ever since my hysterectomy years ago I have arthritis (I think) in my fingers. Basically I can’t open things that I easily could before like jars, caps, and even ziploc bags. Has anyone else experienced this? Basically your hands and fingers feeling weaker, numb, painful or just not working? Any way to combat this? TIA 🐟

What games, toys, or science kits would you recommend for a kid who’s showing an interest in the sciences?

It’s been 6 months and I still cant get over my ex gf. Ugh.

So if I think I may have it, what should I do to get tested? I have symptoms.

Do you know what today is, today is the day I am now allowed back to office as our vaccination requirement was dropped? I still can’t go to our office in NYC and possibly some other jurisdictions and we do need to follow client rules to visit them.
Have any of other Big 4 made changes?

Is it good to get stocks as part of CTC which has 4 years vesting period?

CTC looks high due to this stocks but effectively i would not be getting it for the 4 years. Also the yearly hike includes this stock component.

CTC had fixed, variable and stock part. Variable and stock is almost 30% of total ctc.

Really confused if this is a good deal or is it a trap.

Precovid living with two roommates. One roommate has been living at the apt since lockdown. My other roommate and I would pay him a low electricity fee, since the ac is also keeping our things from getting destroyed from the heat and the WiFi since that’s a set monthly price. Now that electricity bill has increased due to warmer weather, if the bill was $140, any ideas on what the distribution should be? asking for suggestions, first time in this situation.

Hey Fishes - Happy weekend to all

I just wanted to know if any of you rejected an offer or did not join a company because of the 90 day notice period? My initial 2 companies had 1 month notice but my current organization has 3 months so i think I'm not getting enough calls from good companies.

Rant thread. Keep it clean, but feel free to rant and vent below

Anyone else a bit annoyed with the announcers right now? I get you disagree with the decision to not start the race, but man there was so much rain out there I can’t blame race control. I think it’s Crofty, not 100% sure, but the comments like “that car should have a driver in it going around the circuit right about now” are a bit much for me. Anyone else feel the same or am I just overreacting?

Does KPMG send you a rejection email? Did my last round last week Friday and haven’t heard back. Followed up with the recruiter and she said she’s following up with the team

What are some of the pre-pandemic things you miss most? For me, the movie theatre (popcorn, phone less 2 hrs+), MLB games (I’m 🇨🇦, but springs and summers touring the stadium, dozing off to awake to the sound of bat making connecting, stadium beers), weekend trips across the eastern seaboard and Bible Belt in the fall for CFB and NFL (the tailgates, after parties and where applicable tiki bars) and weekend pints with the lads.

When you find out you don't need to travel this week!!! 🎉🎉🎉

Here's a question I wish I never had to ask. Is it better to use the code for bereavement leave or just burn pto I'm going to lose anyway? Does it make a difference from a utilization standpoint?

Which consulting firm has the best 401k match?

🐠, I was laid off from industry during covid and started consulting this year, which was a step back in terms of level and salary. I have received an offer that would allow me to course-correct and advance past where I was before. I like my current firm and have put a lot of effort into making it my new home; however I don’t like my project and am stuck on it. I am terrified of making a move so soon into a role that isn’t a fit or worse, results in another layoff. Appreciate all perspective!

Best books for learning tactical business management, strategy, and growth? Looking for more meaty than "Playing to Win" - willing to read good textbooks. Have read plenty of leadership dev books.
