Okay ya’ll I asked this question about photographers (I just booked mine!) and now for DJs! How much are you spending on a DJ for your wedding and ceremony? I’m seeing a huge range right now as I’m looking. You guys were super helpful the first time! I’m in PA/MD area!

I’ve written a paper (for a class) on job hunting when DE&I is a priority to you as a person. I need a couple smart cookies to read it and poke. Any takers? It’s about 8 pages. You might learn something.

Not having luck finding a relationship or having any guys interested in me for 28 years. Thinking about resorting to plastic surgery to increase my chances of finding somebody

Anyone try Brooklyn Biltong? Thoughts?

Friday is here 🤩

Can anyone let me know how easy it is to apply to a consulting firm in Dubai directly coming from London? I am currently working at a T2 strategy firm in London and my partner and I want to relocate in ~1.5 years. My firm does not have an office in Dubai whilst my partners firm does. Is it possible to apply straight (rather than moving laterally in London, waiting a few years then transferring?) interested in MBB views too. (I would have roughly 2.5 YOE by then)

Gave my 2-week notice and Partner has asked me stay an extra 3 days to wrap up a project that I know will be a very long 3 days... I don’t really want to do it but also am afraid of burning bridge. I said yes to the Partner but now kind of regret it. This job has made me sacrifice my health and I don’t want to work those extra 3 days. I wonder what’s the best way to tell them.

Planning to make my way down south to buy a road bike and a kayak. I heard they’re not allowing any crossing if it’s not for essential services. Will this change if I get vaccinated?

I’m thinking of going to Schwab as an Independent. Can anyone tell me what I should be looking at to make my decision easier?

Do you all use SW testers in your process?

I had a first interview last Tuesday with Amazon, which I think went well, although I still haven't heard back 6 days later and then got an OOO annual leave msg and a no response when I chased up the named colleague today. Is this typical behaviour others have experienced when dealing with the big tech company recruiters? I found Google and Facebook recruiters to be efficient and TikTok so-so, if not a little slow, but 6 days+ seems poor.

Any fish in their 30s here?

Hi i am supposed to join capgemini tomorrow. Got an email to submit documents as part of virtual onboarding. I have submitted the same and then i got another email stating "ON SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION YOU WILL RECEIVE READY RECKONER EMAIL". any recent joinees who can help me with what this is?

Toronto for Thanksgiving. Best marriott/spg hotel? Things to do?

Good places to scuba with lower currency value (cheaper hotels, food, etc.)?

What are ways I can spend my $200 airline credit for the Amex platinum ? I saw upgrades don’t count and I have status so already get free baggage, lounge etc.

Ways to rack up cc points/miles while buying a home?

What’s your post-pitch/post-presentation relaxer?

I’m a data warehouse consultant with about 5 years experience. What is reasonable compensation for this role in a city with mid-high cost of living?

Have you talked about your wedding with coworkers? I made the mistake of saying I had to leave work a little early one day because I was going to do a tasting at my venue. That starts a debate on why one shouldn’t get married, how much wedding costs & what a waste it is, dresses are stupid because you only wear them once, etc. I haven’t talked about my wedding much, but I didn’t appreciate this. I ignored the negative comments and we moved the conversation along. Not talking about that anymore!

If you have a lace wedding dress, would you get a lace veil or a beaded one? It's been hard trying to find similar/exact lace.

We’re having a destination wedding and I feel selfish/silly for taking a honeymoon after. But I feel like if we don’t do it then we will put it off and it won’t really feel like a “honeymoon”. What would you do?

What is your total “wedding look” budget/est. spend? (Everything including dress, make up, jewelry, shoes, outfit changes, accessories, etc.). I have put so much emphasis on my looks (no regrets) and I actually just tallied up my spend and my head almost exploded. Frankly just seeking a little validation that I am not the only crazy person out there 🙃

Any recommendations for good videographers in NYC/Tri-State? A lot of the affordable ones I find make the cheesiest videos. I’ve certainly found some good ones but very expensive. I know you get what you pay for, but there has to be someone reasonably priced out there that delivers quality work. I am splurging on the photographer so this would just be an extra.

Is a hair and makeup trial really necessary? It seems like such a waste of money.

Did you have someone doing hair/makeup for bridesmaids or did you have them do their own? And were you glad you made the decision you did? I’ve been in weddings both ways and trying to decide what I want to do

How much did you spend on your wedding? Do you regret it? Also please share the location of your wedding if possible. Thank you!

How much did everyone spend on their wedding planner? We’re planning a Fall wedding in Europe with ~80 people and want a full service planner, have been quoted 9-15K and want to see if this is reasonable! TIA

We’re having an Indian wedding on a Sunday with ceremony in the morning, followed by lunch, and then cocktail hour + reception.

Given that the wedding starts early, we will have guests (~30) flying in the day before. What is the expectation in terms of arranging dinner for them? We’re trying to avoid having an additional event Saturday night - any idea on if these guests would need to have food arranged for them by us and what that could look like on a cost effective budget.

Thoughts on uneven bridal parties? I would have 5 vs my fiancé having 3 people.

Considering getting highlights and/or extensions for my wedding. Is it worth it? Or is it a bad idea to update your hair for the wedding?

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good premarital counselor in NYC or NJ?

Anyone have a wedding planner they really enjoyed in the DFW area?

Fun question: what are the best and the worst wedding trends you’ve seen?

Guest list stress 😖😖 how many did y’all invite vs how many came?!

I thought I set some boundaries with my wedding since my fiancé and I are paying for everything. Now I’m getting more comments about why we didn’t invite some long lost cousin or family member… I don’t want to go bridezilla on people but I’m starting to see how it can happen 😂

Any tips on making a small wedding feel intimate and special versus tiny and boring?
