So let’s say if someone’s father / very close relative was very high up in the government of India in Delhi. How does that person go about leveraging his / her relationships, legally, to do something in India? Would you rather do that or stay in the US in consulting?

So yesterday I woke up with an awful migraine; probably one of the worst I’ve ever had. It just so happened that my wife and I had things planned with the kids, but I literally couldn’t get out of bed. Long story short, my wife is still pissed that I spent most of the day in bed because of how I was feeling, and in her words, I should have just “sucked it up and dealt with it for us.” This pisses me off to no end. And she’s still being in a bitchy mood today on top of it!

Just want to say i appreciate seeing my (male) boss leave at 6 pm sharp to go pick up his kid. Sets a great example for men and women.

Guys, I need your thoughts on a dilemma. I have a rule, that whenever someone cooks, the other person should do the dishes, ideally that night. Not unreasonable. I do most of the cooking now since I WFH and my husband goes into his office. When he’s supposed to do dishes he lets them “soak” and they’ll sit there for a few days..it’s so gross and I can’t handle it. I’ve tried different strategies of explaining, yelling, not yelling, doing them myself after all, mini cooking strikes, etc. Help?!

I'm struggling emotionally and don't know how to cope with being a gay 22-year-old guy. I feel like half my life has been pretending to be straight, and I don't know how to talk to any guys my age anymore. How can I learn to be more open despite living in an older, more redneck part of Florida? I just want to feel like a person

Seeing the “3% pledge for pay equity” popping up next to agency names here. Interesting that our Global CEO is a woman and don’t see us on that list. We also have the worst parental leave. 🤔

How do you view desis who have been divorced in US? Do you feel differently about divorced people than those who have been in relationships that haven’t worked out? Would you marry a divorced person?

I recently accepted a position with a new org. One of the benefits I asked about with offer was the parental leave policy and was told (in writing by HR) 16 weeks paid after 1 year, which is as good as you can hope for in US. Now I’ve been sent the employee handbook to review/sign and it says only 12 weeks, which is less than the org I’m leaving. What might my recourses be to negotiate 16 weeks when the time comes? Also, should I be viewing this is a red flag?

Who’s staying in Chicago for the holidays? Not out to family (not in Chicago) so usually end up making excuses about having to work and just hanging out alone with my bf. What do folks usually do?

I’m sending resumes out far and wide, ideally I’d be in a new role ASAP. I’m already starting to get requests for phone screenings so formal interviews will probably be on the way. The kicker is that my wife is 6 months pregnant and our first child is due next February, which is busy season the public accounting jobs I am applying to. I feel like requesting paternity leave or letting them know a baby is coming will make hiring me more difficult. How do I approach this, and when do I do it?

Cousin reminded me that I can say the most righteous, fact or Bible-based message to another, but it’s a sounding gong / meaningless if I made them feel bad (was debating with a younger relative). So much truth to remember in our daily interactions with others. So much weight to practice from 1 Corinthians 13:1-2- If I speak in the tongues of men or angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. I

Sometimes I wish when you were with a partner, there was a very clear sign that the person doesn’t love you so that you know it’s time to walk away. My partner and I keep having the same problems, and when I express he’s making me feel a certain way he says he didn’t mean it like that obviously. But when i say something and explain that it’s not how I meant it he doesn’t care and proceeds to label me as an unkind person who doesn’t support/love him unconditionally. *continued in comments*

What’s the total compensation look for a mid to senior level position with ZS Associates?

For those of you in public accounting returning from leave (maternity, medical, sabbatical, etc.), did being away from work for an extended period make you rethink your career or at least whether you want to stay in public? If you ended up leaving your company/firm/public accounting, how long did it take you and what were the factors in your decision?

I’m 6 months pregnant and scheduled a 30 minute meeting to chat with my HR rep to talk about our parental leave benefits (specifically how to navigate taking additional, unpaid time)…. She declined the meeting and directed me to review the policy documentation online and email her with any specific questions I have. Is that normal? Feeling a bit unsupported but also not trying to overreact

Is it a sign to not leave yet if I’m hesitant to leave big law despite receiving offers at good companies? I am a junior associate that’s really burned out and yet I fear making the leap because of “missing” people I’ve worked with (who probably won’t remember me much) and all the hopes I had for myself when I first summered. But I also know this job has been extremely tough on my health and my family and I regretted it the first time I turned down an offer.

How do people make friends here? I have the ones i grew up with and a couple I made in the last couple of years (neighbors/through mutual friends) but I generally find that people here just stick with their social circles

My closest friend of 15 years told me she's been in love with me for several years. I don't know what to do. She's my closest friend. We talk about everything under the sun. I don't want to lose her. I could feel the pain in her voice as she told me this. She already knows she's just a friend to me. I'm serious about my girlfriend and we've discussed getting married. Is there anything I can do to lessen her pain and preserve the friendship?

Hello,
I work in insurance but I am trying to pivot into tech sales. I am having trouble explaining my metrics during interviews. For us, our KPI is based on a quota issued to each state. Ex Ma being 143%. Throughout Ma, we have multiple offices but my office, in particular, is currently at 260% of quota. I have brought in 60,000 of sales for our team. Since I don't have a quato, how can I demonstrate my performance. Many thanks!!

Hi everyone, I am getting married soon and my family has told me that I cannot do a first look with the bride and can only see her after the baraat is over and the wedding is about to begin. There’s no religious or cultural reasoning that they provided but I wanted to see if this is normal. We’re both Hindu for reference. As this has thrown off our plans, I wanted to see if this is normal / not unheard of. Can you share your thoughts? Thanks in advance
