Starting remote at a new firm tomorrow after taking 3 weeks between jobs as parental leave after my wife had a baby. Can’t help but feel guilty about leaving her to take care of the little one all day and all night with less help from me (we asked parents to wait bc of covid). Anyone else dealt with feelings like this going back after parental leave?

Has anyone gone into 5th month of pregnancy with the baby growing under the belly button? Looks more like a fatty pouch than a baby. Everyone else already has bumps starting from right under the boobs.

I still think of my ex. It’s been 9 months since our breakup. He cheated on me and although I walked away and never looked back, I still wonder how life is treating him. I know I deserve better. Sigh.

If WFH stays after vaccine(maybe split 50/50 with office and WFH) do you think that will have some major impacts on our economy?  our economy is based off of people spending money not saving. I think of all the lunch, coffee, happy hour, dry cleaning etc spending we used to do.

Can anyone provide inside feedback on the Executive Administrative Partner roles at Meta (Facebook)? Daily work load, average comp for 5+ years experience….

Looking for firms that are hiring fully remote litigation associates. Thanks!

I’m so tired of US companies hiring remote Canadian employees offering to pay a fraction of the price for the same role.

This is consistent across the majority of the tech companies. While I am looking to exit consulting, don’t want to be paid 50% of what my colleagues would be making across the border.

Need advice in choosing between 2 offers :
Company 1 : $170k base + 10% bonus + 136k rsu + 5k sign on
Cons : junior title\level, hybrid

Company 2 : $150k base + 10% bonus
Pros : senior role\title, fully remote

Would you go for junior role for high salary? Would it hurt in future?

Current: unemployed.
Location: Bay Area
Thanks in advance.

New York folks:
Are you aware of the CPA exam credit extension to 2021 for NY CPA candidates impacted by COVID19? It’s on a person-by-person basis and you need to request the extension. Has anyone tried doing this yet? Can anyone shine more light on this? The extension would really help me, but I’m not sure what more to tell them in my email than the fact that I couldn’t sit for the exams this Spring/Summer due to test centers closing in NYC.

I'm panicking. We just adopted a 12 week old kitten. My 12 year old cat is pissed at me. My dog wants to be friends with the cats, but the cats are less than enthused. I'm keeping the new kitten in the bathroom when they can't all be supervised. What was I thinking? We can't give the kitten back because my toddler is in love. Please tell me it will be OK.

After being broken up now for 14 months - I think I still love my ex. We were together 6 years, and never fought. I thought I would spend the rest of my life with him. I don’t know why I can’t move on. It’s my birthday weekend and I have plans all weekend, but can’t stop thinking about this. I’ve been out with lots of great guys, but I keep holding on that maybe… one day we will be together again. Then my ex texted me today to let me know he and his new fiancé are moving to (cont. below)…

Hi folks, can anyone suggest how much TCS can pay for 3.2 years of experience? Profile is Salesforce Developer.

The short: Would anyone be up for starting regular virtual co-working sessions? I’m thinking 2-3 rounds of [5 mins to set intentions : 45 mins of work : 10 min break]. The long: One technique I’ve found to stay focused is “body doubling,” i.e., having another person present while you’re working. I’ve had some success replicating this over Zoom/Google Meet. Everyone works on their own thing and stays muted during work blocks, but videos stay on. It reminds me of studying in the library vs at home

When should a stub start getting worried about not having much work and low billable hours?
I’ve asked for work but no luck. I know they say this is normal for a stub but when should I start getting worried and consider looking for exit options? Fyi, I like my practice group, so I don’t want to change to a different group within my firm, hence would have to lateral, if I have to. Also, other co-1st years are churning in high hours.

About to turn down a job offer that would nearly double my salary after speaking to several former associates of the firm and hearing some not so great things. The word “sweatshop” was used multiple times yet I am still having a hard time wrapping my head around it. This is truly “you can’t pay me enough to be part of that” in action. I am betting that I can get the same money at a place with a better culture - hopefully I am right!

Mid-level associate at a mid-size regional insurance defense firm practicing coverage litigation. Salary is capped b/c my firm only does I.D./coverage and has no direct-hire comm clients.

Other than partner track, salary/benefits, and switching from coverage to general comm lit, what qualities of the move should I be thinking about as I weigh my options? I've never worked at another firm.
