The Dubai MBB offices seem very confusing to me. On one end I hear from both Fishbowl and online that they are strict about only hiring from Riyadh. On the other hand I talked to this one international undergraduate student who couldn't get an H1B visa in the USA but she was given the option to be able to transfer to the Dubai Office.

For the people who earned the SHRM-CP, did you feel it was worth it? I have an indirect HR position, been applying for more HR focused positions and wondering if this would help.

My therapist just told me I'm depressed..do you ever feel like they tell you things you hear a lot or could have figured out on your own? Like take care of yourself, it's ok to feel such and such, etc. I'm still newer to therapy so wondering if that's the common experience? Do you ever have moments where you're like wow that actually is eye opening and I wouldn't have gotten that from reading self help books and websites etc?

Maybe it’s just me but I feel like I see those commercials for Safelight car window repair 9 zillion times a day. That annoying jingle. I don’t get it. How often are people getting their windshields replaced. I’ve been driving for nearly 30 years and have never replaced a windshield.

Red flag? I use TD's robo investor for my IRA and personal investment portfolio. I noticed it chooses the same ETFs, although potentially a different ratio. This seems that it's not properly diversified for long and mid term. Should I be concerned, or just let the investment fly?

Hi fishies! Considering an internal big 4 move from Western Europe to Dubai. Not sure about WLB and whether there’ll be enough growth and learning opportunities after reading some of the threads here. Anyone up for sharing their experience?
