Nearing the end of my tenure in big law. I know I won’t be making partner, and up to this point, I’ve made more money than my husband. We will need to adjust our lifestyle given my likely drop in salary, that seems to be adding stress to my husband and causing confidence issues. He has a good job that he’s not happy in and part of that is based on his own personal goals, but also influenced by the crossroads we are nearing. I want to help support him but not sure what to do.

Why doesn’t he like his job?

Been an attorney for over 20 years and am good at my job but when it comes to planning something as simple as a birthday party or cancelling a utility service to start another one, I feel paralyzed. Friends/family don’t understand the dichotomy. This happen to anyone?

It’s close to what he wants to do but not exactly the type of job he wants. Part of it is the responsibilities and part of it is pay. He got laid off in the last few years so that has hurt his confidence career wise. He feels behind and the focus is shifting to his job more now that my salary is going to change.

The week of my wedding, my husband (PL SQL Developer 4 yoe) was laid off. That was a couple of weeks ago. Luckily I'm still bringing money in as a software engineer, but I'm looking for advice on how to support a partner who has been laid off. Ultimately I think we will be ok, but I know he's hurting / stressed / and could use a supportive partner.

Hi Fishes,

I have joined one of the top 4 Indian private bank as a Campaign Manager in 2019, after 3 years of campaign management I recently got into a product Manager role to learn PM Skills. However, 1 month into the new role I realised that there's no scope to learn PM Skills other than basic Project management. Request your suggestions & referrals to move into proper Prod Man role. Am open for any course suggestions too🙂

My Skills: Business Analytics, Campaign Analytics, Prod Management

This is starting to feel like a closed loop. Any ideas are appreciated.

I just got an offer from a company that I have mixed feelings about. Team seems great but Glassdoor reviews, not so much. I’m currently interviewing with a couple of other companies that are amazing and would be my too choices. However, I’m very early in the process so it will probably take a month or so to get to the offer stage with them. I don’t want to fall between two chairs for not taking this offer and then not getting any from other companies. What should I do? Best strategy?
