PWC1- no need to be jealous. I can read the ct. weight on the GIA cert that also says VVS1, E color, no fluorescence, and excellent cut- which was verified by the insurance carrier that insures it. I'm sorry if your SO lied to you- mine didn't.

There are lots of people working who really don’t need this job to live life. Sometimes said people like to wear a 3ct exquisite diamond and a stack of Cartier bracelets to remind the abusive managers of the fact we don’t need them.

Tbh I would still wear it. By the nature of an engagement ring it’s something someone else bought for you and the point is to wear it every day

My firm has a collections budget (80% of your billable rate x 1850 hours) and an hourly budget that must be met in order to be eligible for a bonus. The firm cares very little about originations and will reward someone for making their collections over someone who brings in new work. I missed my collection budget due to some odd timing with a client, but originated more than all my peers so no bonus for me. I’ve been at this same mid level firm for 9 years and it’s all I know. Is this normal??
