Congratulations I am going the same route with 2 kids as a father! I am making sure to schedule time for my kids and myself to ensure I don’t go crazy and don’t neglect my children. Schedule a couple hours a day or a chunk on the weekend if possible to knock out school work.

It’s totally normal to feel overwhelmed with 3 kids, work, and now a MBA program. Ensure you have a good support system around you!

My husband seems to hate everything about me. He finds everything I talk about boring, and if I don’t talk, he calls me boring.

I am struggling to conceive and he keeps telling me I don’t care about having a family. I am so sad and exhausted all the time. What can I do?

Has anyone transferred a cpa license to CA? I have my license in another state and have all requirements but the accounting ethics class and ethics exam. But there was some funny language in the handbook stating they wouldn't recognize the cpa exam results if I didn't meet the educational requirement prior to sitting for the exam. Would I have to take the ethics class and exam AND retake the full cpa exam to be licensed in ca?

I’m look to enter another area of Finance at this point instead of starting over somewhere else from scratch, but not sure what direction to go. Interested in Investment Banking or M&A.

Hello All. I have 7 years of work exp in Data analytics & Data engineering team. Right now managing a team of 12. Will PMP certification help in career growth ? Needed some view points.

As desi parents in US we don’t encourage or have given soda, juices or sugary drinks to our son. He is 7 and not sure if he would understand terrible effects of these things on one’s body. Wondering if its controlling your kids too much and not letting them choose what they want? Can’t beat the feeling of guilt or be too sure in this woke world we live in today.

Dear Peanut paying companies (TCS especially), don’t you have some basic manner in valuing the precious time of Candidates? When you’re scheduling interviews, you asked about the current salary and expectation. Even though knowing the peanut you’re going to offer is way below Candidate’s current salary, why are you still processing for further interviews? Don’t you ashamed of yourself calling as a Recruiter? These are basic manners/commonsense, which you guys are unaware of!!!
