You would be asked to dress up in my office (Austin)

Hahaha

That’s my entire office

Literally have not worn a proper dress button down or slacks (barring a conference, in person client meeting, etc) for years now.

Always business casual. In my experience firms here are generally very chill around dress code.

No you’re not in the minority. And thank goodness for it, I hated wearing a suit and tie everyday.

I don’t understand how someone can lie about loving you for 6 months. We were together for almost a year (broke up a week before our anniversary). I said I love you first and he said it back. I asked for more reassurance last month with saying I love you more often. Now all of a sudden he said he didn’t know if he loved me and that love meant marriage for him. Okay well great thanks for telling me this now, 6 months after it was initially exchanged. I don’t understand how he could do that.

I wasn’t sure which bowl to solicit advice from so hoping to catch a bite here. I’m currently in ID. Of course, I want OUT! My interests are L&E and corporate. My options are 1) wait it out where I am in hopes to switch to L&E or 2) in house oil and gas industry transactional work. What would you do and why? I figured this bowl being specific to Texas would understand importance of oil and gas industry.
