Moms in Canada, how do you manage if you don’t drive?

I have severe road anxiety and have never driven any vehicle—not even a bicycle. It wasn’t an issue before becoming a mom, but now everyone suggests I get my license for daycare drop-offs, errands, and more independence.

Our baby hasn’t started daycare yet. Both my husband and I work downtown, and the daycare is in our neighbourhood, so we can do pick-up/drop-off on our commute. On my WFH days, I can walk.

Hello Everyone,

I have an offer from Cognizant, I get my offer revised with my counter offer.
Now again I have another counter offer, should I ask them to revise my offer letter again?

Java Microservices Architect with 40 LPA Fixed (12 YOE) at Nagarro. Joined 8 months back. Got an offer from Publicis Sapient of 55LPA (50 Fixed, 5 Variable). I have asked for 60, but that’s out of their budget. I’m thinking of accepting the offer only if 55 is fixed without any variable. What do tou think guys? Is it worth a switch? And is the variable paid fully usually? Thanks in advance for your insights.

Can I switch to data science now? I am a chartered accountant. YOE 6 yrs . Any course on data science. Can someone suggest?

Has anyone burned some bridges yet? Just curious 😏

Anyone here regularly practice in Alameda County Superior Court? This is my first time in that particular court and I could use some advice as to the procedure for requesting an informal discovery conference. Local rules don’t provide a whole lot of guidance on this.

Who’s back working in the office and where do you work?

Leave it to a 2% dip in a day to send people panicking lol

Boston biglaw associates, do you pay for monthly parking and drive into the office? Or do you still ride the T?

For those of you who made the switch to in house/corporate law, what was your experience like? Did you have to take a lower position to gain the experience or were you able to argue that your soft skills were transferable to in house? I’ve been in litigation for 15 years and I’m looking to make the switch. Ultimately, I’d like to get into Legal Ops, but feel getting some in house experience first would be beneficial.

What's a nice restaurant to take relatives to when they're in the city visiting? Would like something nice but not over-the-top fancy.

What’s a topic you know a surprising amount about?

Looking to find housing in SF this summer beginning June 1 for 10 weeks. How does one find a place in SF for short term? It’s been a struggle so far with everyone I know at MBA...

Currently I pay $1900 for a brand new & modern 1BHK in the Greater NYC area. Moving to SF later this year. Any recommendations on how much to budget for SF? Will be working in Downtown area & currently got a car. I am little bit divided on whether to sell the car or move it to SF.

Looking for a good neighbourhood and ok with 30 minute commute to work.

Probably a long shot

Anyone move from the bay side of the east bay to the 680 valley? We’ve been here for a year and are having a hard time adjusting to the weather and wondering if we’ll ever get used to it. We love getting outdoors but have felt like we’ve spent the better part of this summer inside just because of how hot it’s been. How do you keep up with the same level of activity with kids (running, cycling , hiking) while staying cool?

I broke my pwc provided smartphone post RL discussion

What to do? Will I be penalized for it?
