Been there. That’s a tough place to be in. A year is my cap with partnerships that don’t vibe. It was a painful year though, not going to lie. Is there a way to request a partner swap?

I broke up with my EX mainly because the relationship with my child and her was not the best, it sucks but I have to look out for my child, So far I am able to do the things I can do now. It is not the I am not Hoeing around but the simply fact that I can hang out with friends and go watch my son play baseball is a great feeling now. I feel at peace now, in somewhat of pain because of the breakup but I am at peace now.

Hadn’t noticed this sub before, and most of the threads are old so thought I’d ask a follow up - how has everyone been handling parenting with public accounting? I’ve got a toddler and my wife is an accountant (industry), and we only have a few immediate family in the country- but they have health concerns. Busy season was rough, things are looking better now as things return to normal. Still working crazy hours if you count the daycare duties on top of utilization targets.

I am an unmarried working man in his 30s with a southern mother. In other words I'm flying home for Christmas and my mother just called to tell me that she just happened to accidentally run into the sweetest girl from her church that she just knows I'll get along with and accidentally invited her to our house for dinner the night that I get home. Deadass the woman will not rest until I am tied down. Pray for me!

It’s been 6 months since I’ve been at Deloitte and consulting is not at all what I expected it to be - not trying to be rude but I genuinely hate it here. The hours are killing my mental health, lateral moves seem impossible, and am led on a wild goose chase of who to reach out to to address my concerns. I just graduated last year and am wondering; do I stick it out for another year and a half for better exit ops or jump ship? Don’t know how much longer I can take it. Any advice would be great
