I had a pretty good conversation with my mom about this. She is like what did you do in college why do I have to worry about finding a match for you. I was like mom I never asked you to find a match and remember all the girls you asked me not to talk and focus on studies ... boy! You are in for an emotional ride ! All the best.

Little did they know that you have a white gf

Hah! I don't, at some level they wish that I had a gf. All the plotting and scheming by relatives is now getting annoying.

Like what?

D3 - exact same but the other way round since I'm a 💁🏽. Also how about you rejected the guy I was seeing and now koi bhi chalega...

Hahah this is so funny, but SO relatable! I'm in the same exact boat :/

D2- please let's connect!? Haha. I would love to find someone in the consulting world, at least for now :p jobs can be changed later of course

Sounds good!

OP - you have probably stayed away from home long enough to have different expectations from your partner than what your family envisions

Guys and gals - serious advice: Never get married
Being with your gf without marriage is far better than having married tag as 'Shadi k side effects' ruins it all
Not saying that I am not happy with my wife and kids but at times I still feel like reversing the time

@D4 having a bad weekend. Hope all is good 😊

Ha ha yes everything is really nice. Just giving practical advice to peeps

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

The only women at my agency who get praise and recognition in all-staff emails are less than 5 years into their career or executive assistants.
