Moved to industry in a diff city. I’m feeling really lonely. My husband has been supportive but I miss our ppl. I keep trying to make plans but ppl keep cancelling/changing. Tips to make new friends?

My SO had a career change, went back to school, and just started with his new job. He is struggling a bit and is very stressed out. What can I do to help?

My wife and I both work fulltime with 2 kids under 7 going to school. I do all the dishes, cleaning, prep lunch and pick up the kids as my wife is very busy in the day with back to back calls. The kids schools start early and my wife drops them, she wakes up early at 6 AM and goes to bed at 7:30-8 PM with my kids. This schedule leaves zero time for us to spend together or be intimate. I am slowly simmering to frustration living as roommates despite voicing my concerns repeatedly.Any suggestions?

I hope he’s in as much pain as I am. The way he ended it was so cold and selfish and unlike how he was any other time with me. It was like a personality switch. I’ve never been so wrong about someone. I’m not sure how to process or recover from that part of it.

New to Phoenix! 30 year old consultant. Ideas on how to make friends? 😁

Any white males on here dating Asian females, specifically Chinese? I’m a white male with a Chinese girlfriend and I’m a bit worried about meeting the parents (they are in China; we are in Australia). They’ve said to my girlfriend that they’d prefer her to date Chinese so they are able to communicate with her boyfriend, but other than that it seems ok. Does anyone have experience in this situation? How did it turn out?

Anyone ever gone through a separation with their spouse and have 3 small kids (under 6) in the equation? My spouse asked me for one tonight 🥲

What's the best financial literacy or work success lesson you learned from your parents?

I grew up with zero guidance from mine and definitely suffered from it, so I'm hoping to give my daughter a better foundation than I had.

Girlfriend has very obvious high functioning anxiety and body image issues that she admits but thinks she doesn’t need therapy or medication and that reading self-help books will help her. It’s not changing in the last several years and it’s impacting our relationship. Anyone have experience with their SO dealing with untreated anxiety? I know I can’t control her but would like to express my feelings without sending her into a spiral. For context, I’ve been in therapy for 12 months and medicated

I recently started a new relationship and it is absolutely incredible and we could not be more in love. Just wanted to make a happy post because most of the posts in this bowl are so sad.

For those who are in long term relationships, why aren’t you married? I’d like to move forward and start a family, but my gf isn’t willing to consider that at this point and probably won’t for the next ~10yrs. We’re 23 and 27yo

Is it unreasonable to expect your SO to walk with you on the sidewalk? My SO always walk faster than me. When I brought it up their excuse was that’s how I grew up.

Any one here used a live in desi nanny ? Or Au pair ? Any reviews or recommendations?

I've been having some of the hardest conversations I've ever had with a guy that I really like. But he is religious and I'm not. Originally I thought he didn't like me romantically and was just looking for something physical. But he asked me if I would be open to converting and I'm not. I just don't really agree with religion, especially ones with such strict rules. This is really difficult to navigate. Have any of you dealt with this?

I used to be a special Ed teacher and changed careers to an executive assistant at BMO after facing major burnout from teaching. Now that I’m a first time mom, i really want to work part time or even .75, but I do not want to go back to teaching right now. I am thinking of tutoring- any suggestions on private tutoring vs. tutoring companies?

I'm an engineer and I love building things but based on what I've seen about Gen Z, I think I'm going to raise my kids in a less modern style. No TV, no internet, at least until a certain age.

Who has worked with company NDAs in the past? Not Client NDAs, but one that was put forth by the company you work for? To me, it gets real sticky with being able to show work in your book if you have signed an NDA.

Is DC big law really better than NYC? I’ve heard NYC is the worst by far but would be curious to know more.

There’s a post in the Confessions bowl about someone being a kicked off a project for occasionally deciding they’d begin working at 3PM. Somehow I feel this is super common at law firms and no one bats an eye???

Hey,

Starting at Google soon in UK and wanted to know about WFH equipment.

Can anyone shed some light on what type of equipment Google will provide or that I can expense?

I'm holding off purchasing anything that Google may pay for anyway - thinking along the lines of a herman Miller chair and sit-to-stand desk.

Thanks :)

Anyone have insight into EY’s financial transformation team? I got an offer, but it seems implementation heavy

How do I politely ask for what was a verbal warning "improve or we take next steps" in writing?

The fdbk I received all seems directly tied to my emotional dysregulation that I am just putting a name to let alone not knowing how to fix it (because if I knew that it wouldn't be a problem).

So I want my mgrs to put it in writing and how exactly they plan to measure it (other than they will "hear" it from ppl).... Cuz internally I can't separate what I'm feeling from what I think they're saying

When did you know it was time to take medical leave for mental health? I can barely get out of bed most days.

I just started Wellbutrin last week and, I know it takes a while to kick in, but the energy it’s given me the past week is amazing. I can actually focus on tasks, not get lost in my thoughts, and actually wake up on time. I hope it stays like this forever.

I am gaslit and discouraged for “rushing” at work, while in fact, I helped catch deadlines (not always of course, bc it also depends on engineers). My efficiency seems to make my direct manager & senior uncomfortable…I feel depressed & sometimes even doubt whether it’s MY problem to work hard and respect my responsibilities… Why is the world so fucked up?

Anyone have contamination (or other types) of OCD? Would love to get a group going!

Honest discussion about burn out: it is with you for the long run.
I burnt out at my last job and the job before that and now I’m at a really good firm that has no set billable hours and a really manageable workload, but it’s still difficult to get any work done. It will take a long time to fully recover from burn out.

Anyone on Wellbutrin for anxiety?

Very quick note to say I think it takes a lot of courage for our industry colleagues to open up on here about their mental health concerns, esp considering the shitshow of consulting...

feeling overwhelmed in all aspects of my life and it’s affecting my ability to perform at my normal level. It’s disappointing bc I feel like this isn’t me but idk how to change it. Hard to care too.

Have a job interview for a role I’m excited about tomorrow but I’m so depressed and tired I can’t even muster up the energy to prep. Any words of encouragement would be great

Anyone take Seroquel? First time hearing of it and it is a new prescription

Everyday I can’t seem to hit the required billable hours. I’m overwhelmed by emails and people asking me where an item is. I feel like I’m not good enough. I keep making mistakes I shouldn’t make at my level. I wish I could just quit so I wouldn’t have to be miserable everyday.

How do you bring your self confidence up after a bad review I been in the slump for months now and I don’t know how to dig myself out of this hole I dug for myself. I had a bad performance review few months ago and ever since then I just haven’t been the same
