Married ladies, do any of you wear different wedding rings to work than your actual one? My fiancé bought me a beautiful showstopper, but I worry it may be a little flashy for the workplace.

First, congratulations!

To answer your question, I actually choose my jewelry, including engagement ring and wedding ring, based on whether I feel safe wearing them in public wherever I am. Sometimes I travel places where I don't think it's a good idea to wear anything that could make me a target for theft or robbery or worse; other times I'm going somewhere I feel totally safe and will wear whatever I want. I haven't come across situations where I have factored in whether my jewelry would be flashy for the workplace based on what I do. However, if you work in a sensitive area, like you do strategy that could result in layoffs for your client or you specifically work with clients in financial distress, I probably wouldn't wear flashy jewelry.

Thanks! I feel safe wearing it in 1st world countries and have a modest travel band for everywhere else. Maybe I’ll get a work ring 🤔

Honestly I’d just wear your ring and enjoy it!These days everyone has a 4 carat plus because of lab grown diamonds becoming so popular.

That’s true and a good point.

Unless you work somewhere that it’s not safe to wear it, you should wear the ring!

I’ve gained weight and my wedding and engagement ring don’t fit right now so I just wear a different ring. It gets the point across

Depending on its value, you might consider getting a zirc or moissanite dupe for your daily driver.

My toxic trait is I can’t imagine giving a fuck what anyone else thinks

Girl, wear those rings! I rarely take mine off... unless you work in a place that flashy is offensive, the whole point of engagement is to show it off and gush when asked about the proposal. Truthfully, if I could have extended our engagement period even longer I would have, for so many reasons I enjoyed that feeling even more than being married. Although that's great too (lol). I'm in my early 30s, currently in an HR/Csuite role but previously was an area manager and in/out of industrial sites all day- didn't change my rings then either! Congrats!

Wear what you like, I personally wear my real ring at work more than home, and wear silicon bands around a lot for casual wear and workouts.

When I was engaged I wore that ring all the time except at the gym.

You should insure your ring if you haven’t, if you lose it or if it’s stolen than you can get a replacement.

Thanks! I tried to tell my fiancé to insure it, but he shrugged and said he would just buy another if I lost it 🫠

Hi guys currently I'm working in a project with very stringent timelines. Sometimes we need to put more than 13-14 hrs each day. There are 4 members in my team.

I am sure this is a question with an obvious answer, but does anyone else just feel absolutely trapped in a job they hate because of their student loans? I’m three years out of law school and I still have $160K in student debt despite making aggressive payments. I work in a larger firm (not big law per se, but 250+ attorneys and big for the market). I am pretty unhappy with my job the vast majority of the time, but I feel like I have no options. $160k at 6% and 7% interest cannot be ignored.

Not sure if this has been asked before but what are your billable expectations, what year are you, and what size firm are you at?

I have been lurking on fishbowl for a bit and it seems that my billable expectations at my small firm are too high (1850). I don’t hit them but neither does anyone else including senior associates / partners. Anyways, my boss is using that as an excuse to not give me a raise - so any insight you could provide would be helpful!
