New parent here, trying to navigate the PE jungle with a little one in tow. The late nights and endless travel are starting to feel a lot more challenging. Anyone else in the same boat? How do you balance the demands of deal-making with diaper changes and bedtime stories?

I'm looking for practical tips on everything from time management hacks to childcare solutions. Are there any firms out there that are particularly family-friendly? How do you set boundaries between work and home life when the lines are so blurred?

I love my parents but they squabble all the time. My mom nags and my dad gets angry. Then she talks back. If I say something, they yell at me. I am not looking forward to the holidays. I wish desi parents wouldnt do this.

Where are the moms on this app? I want kids and I’m planning for the future. How do you schedule for child care/ who is your child care provider? Do you use day care, a nanny, a family member who lives with you or close by? And roughly how much do spend on child care per month?

Do you work a lot of overtime during flu season/the holiday season? My manager says with travelers and people needing shots + antibiotics we'll get swamped for like the next 3 months. Do I just work somewhere understaffed or is there a "busy season?"

Fell into a deep depressive suicidal hole and missed work for two days. Honestly surprised I woke up the second missed day, took a bunch of pills. Now need to face family and work. Don’t know what to do next.
What do I even say to my manager? Do I just show up and not say anything? How will this hurt my career?
My family I know it would hurt but I can be honest there at least. Plan to speak to family once I can come to terms with being alive.

What can I expect as a husband of someone going through IVF?

Im starting a new job but still employed somewhere else. I was trying to be open about staying at BOTH places. My current job won’t let me be part time because they don’t allow “set schedules”. Yet I am one of the only reliable and loyal employees in the department, and currently working a set schedule. So why will they not let me continue a set schedule but with different hours? This place is more focused on strict policies and not actually trying to work their employees and being flexible.

Name one thing about yourself that no one would guess.

A female friend of mine recently received a settlement in a sexual harassment action against her employer during mediation. Upon receiving her (female) attorney’s final bill she was blown away to discover that her attorney charged her almost five times what the attorney estimated she would charge for the mediation. (The attorney was drinking alcohol during the Zoom mediation and settled for far less than she estimated she would get.) [continued below]

I’m sure it’ll vary depending on the specific terms of the agreement and ethos of the fund, but generally / anecdotally what would cost you to lose a VESTED carry? E.g. what if you leave to a competitor even when respecting the gardening leave / non poaching etc? What if you are let go for underperformance (but haven’t breached any rules / done anything unethical etc). Or what if you’re let go simply due to eg the fund reducing headcount or your team?
