Live in Boston. Generally happy but wonder what other cities may be best to settle in the long term. Real estate is very expensive in good school districts. Otherwise very clean and great place.

Dallas. Significantly cheaper and real estate market is good right now. I cannot speak to the day to day difference in the mindset of people as I have not lived in Boston. But folks here are pretty liberal. Some neighborhoods where Directors / Partners with kids live are Southlake and Highland Park (this one is expensive by Dallas standards). A lot of desi junta lives in Plano, so I am sure schools are great (though you may find less diversity in Plano)

I joined a new firm October 1 & billed a 200 hour month. With my current workload, I am expecting to meet or exceed my prorated hours target. When I accepted the position, future bonuses were discussed, but given ramp up, etc. I didn’t think to ask about a prorated bonus for my stump year. Has anyone dealt with this before? I hate to ask & sound greedy, but I relocated (at a pay cut) for this position & a bonus would really help going to my mortgage payments I’m still carrying for my old condo.

Question for the ladies out there: looking to get my wife a nice bag, she mentioned she wanted something large to hold her everyday things. I understand the LV tote looking back is a popular one, can y’all recommend anything else that’s similar? I see a ton of women out there with the typical LV tote bag but I don’t wanna get her something “basic.” Thanks

All my six-figure salary consultant friends are ranting about how poor they feel right now because their IRAs/portfolios are down. Think the people in this industry need to take time to volunteer or engage with some tougher parts of town and understand that by virtue of even having investment accounts, that they’re more financially safe than at least 50% of America. Sad to see

I work for a fairly small company. We have had a lot of growth recently. I made a comment that I was not happy with the company culture. The CEO wants to meet. We have a good relationship. My question is…should I send a email with specific examples ahead of time or just keep it as an “on the fly” convo?

2nd Cousin has a Mexican boyfriend of 4 months and is 3 months pregnant - did not have conversations with her mother or her sister, close cousins before going forward. She’s feeling the lash back of a mother who’s looking to influence her decision and get an abortion before she starts this life. There are definitely some red flags with the guy with his income and that he doesn’t speak English, curious what others would do - what would your parents say? Mine would flip!

Found a most enlightening work on decolonial history with tons of TIL moments especially about Anti Colonial movements in Egypt, China, Japan and course India in the 19th and 20th centuries. Most histories this period often adopt a Euro-centric lens but this book flips it and tells the stories of these turbulent times from the vantage point of the pioneering Asian leaders like Tagore, Al Afghani, Kang Youwei etc. Lovers of Asian history would surely appreciate this book
