Struggling right now bc my wife is 6 months pregnant, and we have a 3 year old. I do a lot to split the parenting load with her during the week, despite the fact that she works 20 hours and I work 50. She has been extremely critical and emotional recently, which I know comes with being pregnant. However, she has recently gotten pretty hostile when yelling at me - ie. today I had our son in the car and she started cussing me out on speaker phone. I know she’s exhausted, but where is the line?

Any book recommendations to gift my cousin sister? She studied (masters) psychology and is a trained classical dancer.

Hey fellow fishes- I am looking to make some new friends in town and potentially meet a nice woman to start a relationship with; any ideas where should I start looking or start doing? I am thinking of volunteering some of my weekends.

First it was covid, now monkeypox and even polio…? What’s happening to this world, I didn’t even get married yet

So I have been seeing a guy for 4 months. We have a pay disparity.. he earns less than I do (by quite a bit). He has mentioned a few times that he’s worried I’ll get bored of him when I know he can’t afford the same things I can. I think we are beginning to move past this, but now he’s starting to mention things like ‘I am really broke this month’, and last weekend he told me his mum has lost her job and he’ll have to probably pay her rent. I have a lot of sympathy for his situation … tbc

Ngl this crisis just affirmed my decision about not wanting to have kids. Serious props to the parents attempting to simultaneously bill and homeschool their kids.

Pregnant with my third child now and wondering what is the right time to tell work. I did it really early with my first two because I wanted to plan ahead, but now thinking about it, I feel like it just set me up for failure those years because I was reassigned from tasks and kept underutilized.

Is the Bella Vista area a safe place to live and raise kids?

Just got divorced after being separated for a year. Any suggestions for places to go and meet new folks?

Random question but do you let your kids hang out in your bedroom and use your master bath if applicable? My kids always seem to want to use our bathroom instead of theirs and my spouse doesn't care but I grew up with my parent's room basically being off limits and think I'd prefer it that way.

37 weeks today! We are excited :)) the waiting period is weird though. When will baby come???

How many folks here looking to actually connect for serious relationship (potentially converting to marriage)?

I’ll start 🙋🏻‍♂️ 30, located in the US (east coast) - open to worldwide relocation.

Sibling has no self-control. Covid has brought out the worst in him. He constantly stays inside his bedroom, sometimes for days at an end. Works from his bedroom, plays video games in free time, orders food & eats in his bedroom. Is not motivated to do anything or interact with anyone. These tendencies existed before pandemic but has gotten significantly worse during. Any suggestions on how to help him

Anyone else have family know you are struggling to conceive and then when their kids act out they turn to you and say, “you sure you want kids?” I guess they are trying to lighten things but I find it really hurtful.

Husband and I are planning to rent a car (we wipe the entire inside and handles down with bleach wipes) and drive to a state over (only 5 hours, no pit stops) to pod up with my parents for a month or two. We will be wearing masks and social distancing with my parents until everyone is tested and confirmed negative. My husband goes to the grocery store once a week, other than that we do not interact with others and have taken the pandemic very seriously. Is this a bad idea? Second guessing myself

Partner of 2 years has asked for space. No contact for a month but agreed to go to couples therapy then. This after a really hard month relationally and then she had to put her dog down. Asked for..

I’m going to be a dad! But I have some questions. When should I tell my manager/teams? I’m up for senior promotion this year, will this impact that promotion? For those of you that work in public what tips do you have for managing your work and family responsibilities? For context, my wife, once she’s done with maternity leave, will only work 25-30 hours a week. I know working in public and having a new born is probably going to be a lot to juggle, but I have to make it work.

Spending a weekend with my fiancé’s family out of town and quite literally my future FIL burps out loud 10x a day with no shame and his mom is a narcissistic monster in law just have no clue how these bizarre ppl created such a lovely person in my fiancé. Don’t need advice, just want to bitch. Can anyone relate??

I’ve been single for so long my last ex had time to find someone else, get pregnant, have a baby and now they’re engaged. And I’m sitting here watching Footloose

I went to visit another market team in (midwest city) and slept with the market manager. Now we're planning a trip to Mexico. I can't tell if I'm trying to get over my ex or actually interested.....

My brother-in-law (age 30) told us recently that he is transgender. How can we support him? (‘Him’ as we haven’t discussed pronouns yet). It was a surprise to us!

Got an offer for TY, would receive Lynch and Fitz/Keelan Cole. Would have to drop Crowell or a TE to facilitate the roster space. Think it’s a fair offer, but would you take it? 14 team, .5 PPR

I'm looking for advice from those who have freelanced remotely with an international agency.

I'm based in NYC and have had firms in Canada and England reach out about projects. The agencies have offices in the US but I would be working w/ their international teams (servicing US based clients). I've asked for my standard rate in USD converted to their currency.

Any advice on the best way to get paid? Have you asked to get paid by the US office instead? Any watch-outs for tax season?

TIA!

Will base jump from 120 - 145 make a significant difference in my saving? Offer has significantly less PTO and a lower 401k match. 32F with 400k saved, interested in buying a home soon in HCOL.

Hey Fishes 🐟,

Where can I get study material for SAP IS-U ? I visited lot of sites but couldn't find detailed explanation for each concept.

For those who joined in December month, did you guys attend the new hire orientation meeting from the office or virtually ?.

How are experienced hires vs recent grads treated at top consulting firms? I understand that each branch of each firm will be different from the other and it depends on the leadership. But have there been any uniform truths that people have noticed?

Anyone deal with taking paternity leave during a 2-year clerkship? How long did you take and how’d you bring it up to your judge?

Hello Fishes,
Just wanted to check a few things (for morgan Stanley Bangalore office):
* Have you guys started returning to the office (both IT and non-IT) ?
* Also are you still getting door to door pick-drop cab facility...?
* Last one (this one is a bit stupid😅), do they serve free meal in cafeteria ...?

Thanks

How much job grade 105 is getting paid now? Started working at cvs as pharmacy Tech 2 years ago! I’m thinking of leaving because not much upgrade and No promotions!

Can anyone give me their honest opinion on working at Eli Lilly, the Indy site? I have a few coworkers that have worked there in the past but no one recently. I’m currently being recruited pretty seriously for a in-vivo technician position in the auto-immune team, but I already have a job lined up at Envigo as a small animal sx tech. Salaries would be comparable (Lilly would most likely be a little more with bonuses), but if the culture sucks, I’d hate to burn a bridge with Envigo.

I just got laid off from my job as a gov contractor because the project I was working on ended. I’m currently a grad student part time and was hoping to work that job until finishing grad school before applying to consulting roles. Should I go ahead and try applying for those roles now since I don’t have a job? Or should I wait since I’m still in school until next May?

Hello 🎏🐠,

Any suggestions or guidelines are welcome.

Hi fishes,

I found different user login related bugs in a website that hamper the user experience.

What is the correct procedure to report those bugs?

Also, can there be any potential scope to get bug bounty for the same?

How to approach this?

I'm planning to send an email with the details of the bugs to the customer care and feedback email of that website.

Thanks a lot.

Do you have advice for making industry connections as a fairly anti-social introvert?

I finally got through to the Hiring committee round at Google. Should I be excited or nervous or not read into at all?
