There was discussion before about how to deal with company drinks. Just say it out loud. “I’m an alcoholic.” I would be more proud of that than the cowardice I deal with daily to even stop.

Which companies are offering permanent wfh to a CA ?

Just got married to a somebody I met through this bowl and I love him with everything inside me! Wanted to share that’s there’s hope for everybody!!!!

Hi all,
Are H1B results out? Did anyone hear from their immigration teams?

Fish Fam: What’s your biggest team room pet peeve?? 👀

What does the term PPMD stand for?

Feeling over my head money wise. Moved to a HCOL area and bought a townhome since rent was so high as well. Mortgage is $4k including taxes. I make $200k a month. Did I make a mistake?

I am 39 F. Based in US. Looking for a person over age 39 and living in US - any state. If you are looking for a match let's connect.

Hi Fishes can anyone tell how much hike RSM US LLP gives for junior level developers? 1 to 2 years of experience. Did they provide any shift allowances?

Hi All,

Anyone lateraled at the 2-4 year mark from boutique (40ish lawyers, corporate lit work on same level as biglaw, making top NY pay) to v100? Can you say anything about the experience? The reason I’m considering is while boutique is generally a good place for me as an associate (NY pay, reasonable WLB, good experience on many fronts) there’s basically zero shot at making partner.

I’m very much in love with a co-worker and I’m married, how bad of an idea is taking it further?

Any places hiring spring interns?

This question is quite broad and subjective but would love to hear some thoughts. For a couple with family income of about 60 LPA in India, is it wise to move to Canada/UK via the PR route? I have seen no matter how much experience you have, it's usually about building up from scratch.

It's an exhausting time to be working in this industry, to say the least. How do you prevent taking your work home with you?

Made a career pivot to another agency. During the interview we talked about how it may start as initially a "step backwards" (pay/benefits) but has potential for more long term growth. First day was yesterday. Had no communication about when or where to show up, sat in an empty office for about half an hour before a couple people finally showed. No phone call or email. Sent an email to the founder, no response. I could easily get my old job back if wanted.

What would you do in this situation?

Hi all,
I just moved here so this might be a dumb question so please don’t judge. Why does my laundry smell like pee and how can I fix it? I used a common washer and dryer in my building. Is it because of that? Is it mold? Is it the water? I air dry my workout leggings and they all smell really weird and I don’t know what to do 😔

Upload button in etax is not working for me. I am not able to upload any tax proofs because of the same. Anyone else facing the same issue?

Any meetings for ad people in la? I find no one really understands how we work in normal aa meetings. They find it suspect when I’m at work till 10pm every night for 3 weeks.

I’m beefing up my LinkedIn profile and was like, “Ugh. It’s SO NOT FAIR that I can’t add my time doing service and working w sponsees in AA under Volunteers Experience!”#nohumility #willkeepcomingbac

Chicago! What meetings near the loop should I hit?

Hi! I had no idea this bowl existed until an Account Director at work told me about it today!!! I always thought I was the only sober one in this industry! Im so glad that there are more of you. 😅💓

I can’t handle the networking thing sober.... I’ve been sober 4 years and I still find it incredibly difficult... also a young professional

8 years sober today! I love AA.

One year this week. Grateful for lots, including this bowl.

Anyone read Quit Like a Women, by Holly Whitaker? Reading now and it’s making me consider extending dry January to 6 months, maybe a yr, or ever again...curious to hear if anyone else has read.

Question: Friend is starting to seek treatment, should he tell HR that he is getting treatment or keep it quiet. May want to go to inpatient at some point Trying to be supportive and give good advice.

AA meetings on or near campus?

More than halfway through a 90 in 90 and I’m so grateful for NY AA and that there are so many meetings! Also 90 in 90 is actually kinda great

4 years next month

Any body have to take a month off work to go to rehab then return? With a threat that most likely your current account will be handled by someone else and suffering lack of confidence maybe even fired

Billing almost 70 hours a week with no end in sight and poor leadership. Struggling hard to hit meetings but still trying to check in w support. Any advice?

Just interviewed for a job. Saw an old work friend in the lobby, and he shot me a message after we said hi, saying it’d be great to work in the same building again, "plus this new one has a bar.” 😣

How’s everyone holding up? For those of us who do 12 step meetings, I for one miss the hugs! We have to work harder now to stay connected as we are isolators by nature. Find time for you 🙏

Not sober currently. But think about it.
What happened to all your mates when you stopped? Did they dump you (because you make them feel guilty for drinking)? And what if your wife drinks too?

Dry January. Anyone have it turn into the kick off for a longer term plan? Considering this.

Is there a group for people who aren’t alcoholics, but have issues drinking? Is it rude to go to AA if you aren’t totally dependent, but it is affecting you adversely?

You guys are great. Serious question for all... when was the last time you drank and why was it the last time?
