My SM keeps commenting on how I need to have a kid soon given my age. I've already said I don't know if I want them when she initially pried but since then she's 'joked' at least once a week about how I need to get married and start popping them out. I didn't care initially but now it's just getting obnoxious. I suspect she's projecting since she wants to have a second kid herself and is experiencing challenges but enough is enough lady! How do I go about addressing it with her?

My fiance is working on Axis bank in west bengal. I live in Bangalore. Our marriage is on December end. she will be shifting to Bangalore on January and has sent am email for transfer to Bangalore few times back. BUT not getting any positive response and even no one is replying to her emai.
Looking for suggestions here....

Hardest part of navigating maternity leave and WLB as a junior partner?

Do you tell your boss you’re going through a breakup? I’m phoning it in and obviously going to be camera off for awhile.

Hardest thing about Sunday night is having to say good night and goodbye to SO at the same time before bed 😞

My father wants to buy dogecoin (yes, now) and I’m annoyed because I can think of hundreds of other ways he can spend that money. But, he’s determined and convinced it’ll make him rich in 2 years.

Let’s see how this post ages..

Hi everyone! I am working with my HR to improve our maternity/paternity leave policy. Currently I only get 2 weeks fully paid and then an additional 8-12 weeks at 60% pay (short term disability). I need some examples of companies with less than 100 employees and what your maternity/paternity policy is. Please include company name! Thanks!!!

As a father of two girls, I'd just love to hear from women in the group about what their favorite parenting styles/memories are from their dads.

I really wanna crush it at this role haha

Hi,

Just started a new job less than a month ago in the tech sector. It was the industry I was fixated on when leaving for. However I realise that I don't think I can cope with the fast paced, lack of wlb, with no support - it's really impacting my mental health already....

I try to hide it from my boyfriend, but its impact is flowing into my personal life.
I feel like a failure, but recognise it might be beneficial to cut loss and quit. Has anyone been in this situation?

Any advice?

How do you balance your social life with work? I feel like all my non-law friends are out doing shit every night and living it up on the weekends and I just can't. I'm either working or I'm tired from working. How can I set better boundaries about working outside of work, and where do y'all get the motivation to be outside after work 😭

Question for those who are married or about to be : how did you know he/she was the one? And how long did it take you to realize it?

Sparkling Wine or Champagne around $30 that’s really good? Need it as return gift to all guests for our baby shower.

I know this isn’t a marriage therapy bowl, but my husband has a really terrible tendency of saying things like “you’re being really mean” and completely shutting down during a disagreement when i objectively am not being mean, just truthful or vocal about how i feel about something. It’s a really convenient argument for him because it enables him to either be the victim and me the villian, or forces me to concede my stance and not reach a true resolution. Any tips on dealing with the irrational?

Feeling really sad about friends I have drifted apart from despite efforts to stay in touch. My best friend from high school and I haven’t seen each other in about 4 years, I messaged her a year ago, got a nice response from her, and I tried keeping the convo going but she left me on read. Offered her and her boyfriend tickets to join me and my boyfriend at a concert in fall 2019, left us on read with no response. Her bday was last week and she left my bday wishes on read too. I’m so sad.

Sooo my nanny fell asleep holding the baby. My husband and I work from home. So, he walked in, saw them and put the baby in the crib.
Ask: Any advice on how to address this with the nanny? Also, it it a fire able offense?

Context: Nanny started full time on 1/24; baby is not quite 5 months old; we are WFH and have cameras installed that are visible (she should know they exist); first time having a nanny

My family/friends ask me for store discounts all the time. It's really uncomfortable to say no, but I have to. Any tips on how to handle these conversations?

How do you incorporate warm up/bell ringer problems so that kids actually complete the problems and not just use that time to socialize?

Hi, contemplating a bcg expert track PL role after 5 years of ops consulting. Any perspectives on the career trajectory on the expert track vs generalist track? Are the expert track folks really given a 'step child' treatment? Any thoughts on potential exit opportunities?

Are you lonesome tonight
Do you miss me tonight?
Are you sorry we drifted apart?

Is it normal to pay for monthly OB visits while pregnant? I have BCBS and thought they would be covered 100%?

My marriage is beyond repair I think. Husband just said we keep having the same conversations over and over in the past year about things we’ve been trying to fix. Is a year enough time? 11 years together for reference. And I don’t think his statement is true - he literally mentioned one of those things last week that he was happy about. I just can’t do it with these vague statements in arguments.

Hey Guys, Currently I am having 16.12 lac pa in current organization and 5% Bonus So total comes around 16.93lac pa. Nagarro is asking me to rejoin at 20 lac pa (5% Project bonus included).
When I left Nagarro around 2 years back my fixed there was 11.50. Shall I consider this offer of Nagarro. Reason I want to change the job is because I don't have code based automation in my current organization and I have been an SDET in my whole experience.

Anyone joined Nagarro recently with React JS tech stack ?

Need quick input.

Expected role? SM / AD
Expected CTC?

Urgent. Need for negotiation. Pls.

I went through two rounds of interviews for
a job that the posting stated $36.66 per
hour (FP&A Analyst)…the company
recruiter had told me in the initial call the
pay could be 32-36 because of the other
benefits. If I do get a job offer what range
should I try for? I was really hoping to get
around the 36-40 but now I feel like they
may try to offer lower than what was
posted. Also there was no range but the
average for this position is upper 70s-90k.
Thanks for any help!

After 1 month of joining Genpact, they are saying the process is not coming for which u were hired nd u'll get the laptop when we'll get any project. Also I was selected for Hyderabad location, now my base location is showing as Gurgaon on gsocial app

Hi Fishes,

Yesterday I attended MS hackerrank test and was able to solve some Java based MCQ and one sql query correctly but not able to execute a code with any passed test case so should I expect a call from a recruiter for an interview?

So, I haven't received an offer yet but they have already run a background check and sent me both a conditional U5 approval and a FINRA info request. Can I assume that an offer will be soon to follow?

Men- if you text a girl you “like” but have never asked out on a date that you missed her and she responds “you could ask me out on a date”. How would you respond?

My manager was sharing screens with me a week ago, and by mistake, he overshared some of his bachelor party plans. Now he is all embarrassed. I think his plans were funny, but I don't know how to don't make it awkward anymore. Any advice?

Hi , need likes for DM Feature , Thank you.

Any recommendations on CPAs to help me file individual taxes in San Francisco?

I am starting a new role with a new company and will have 6 direct reports. Although I have managed teams before in a consulting project setting, this will be the first time in industry. Any recommendations on how to sharpen my management skills (books, blogs, etc). Particularly looking at how to delegate effectively and practical examples on how to run day to day.

Best consulting firms with best WLB? Do they exist? Young professional starting to think about where I'd like to work hard to end up in the next 5-10 years.

A first for me, after 1.6 million miles. Thankful for a delay. The delay on the connector saved me a night at ord Hilton after the ludicrous delay on the first leg.t. Truly grateful united

Is it worth getting a surface if you already have a personal laptop and you don't take it outside of the house?
I like the portability factor but that seems to be a bit muted if I'm not taking it...

This WFH situation would be much more bearable if I had X. Or, now that I have X, I don’t mind WFH at all even for extended periods of time. What’s your X?

Top consulting firms for building mobile apps - IOS or Android?

Anyone has any good corporate codes for Hilton? Downtown Chicago if you need an area specific?

I have about 13 years experience in public sector healthcare doing program management and PMO work on systems implementation and integration projects. Which firms can I target outside big 4 for similar roles? Seems like most firms are doing only healthcare strategy work which is not my area of interest. Thanks.

Team - what is the leading practice for a remote work plan with team / client?

Why don’t recruiters actually do their job and facilitate the hiring process, it seems like they just “check” on things but don’t advocate or make things happen.

How long do y’all speculate until we can go to a NYC restaurant again? Or until we have reasonably have people over to hangout even?

Anyone heard or work for Enlighten Operational Excellence? Any insight appreciated!!

Is there anyone here that works for the same company as their SO? We do and both love where we work but during times like these almost feels more intense with the uncertainty.

Say new joiner bonus is $10k and you're paid 1/12 of this amount each month beginning on your start date. Then you quit after month 6. Do you have to pay back Accenture the GROSS amount of the bonus?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.

Does anyone know how Accenture job levels equate to IBM bands? Is a level 6 at Accenture the equivalent of a band 10 at IBM? *asking for myself

Have any of y’all tried a meal delivery service like Blue Apron or Hello Fresh for the weekends? I think I want to try cooking but never learned and I think this could be a good way. Thanks 🐠

You just finished a project, and have nothing lined up. Do you a) not network hoping to ride bench really hard b) network hard -you love work!!! or c) network half heartedly hoping to not get staffed?

If you had a week left to live, would you still go to work?
