This is a big confession. I just turned 63.

My boyfriend and I make 200K combined and live in NJ. We have $1000 in monthly car payments combined. That’s all we owe. Our credit scores are in the 800s. We have 50K to put down on a home. We have done the math and I know we can afford much more but he doesn’t want to buy more than a 400K home. I’m almost positive we can afford 500K and be more than ok. But then he starts to talk about how much kids cost and how we will be house poor and we won’t be able to afford kids. 🤔 Am I insane??

I am working in CG as a consultant with close to 9 years of experience and 9 lacs CTC. Is it ok or should the package be more? Can I ask HR for salary correction? What is the range like in the B2 level?

Any interest in doing a daily reflections thread? In the spirit of rotation one of us would be responsible for posting the link and kicking off the share for a month at a time??

I just wanted to say that my Art Director partner is amazing and I’m the luckiest writer I know.

Does anyone really, really love their job? Or do you just do it to pay bills and get to the weekend? I'm curious how many people actually truly love what they do

Sometimes I don't uphold the company mission 😱

I've been here (NYC) for 4 years already but for some reason I'm not happy. My first job out of college is okay but not thrilling. I have this constant sense of hopelessness and doom.

I absolutely HATE third party recruiters. They continuously waste my time, always slice my rate in half, and have never have solidified a project for me — PLEASE GO AWAY!

Got a personal email from HR asking to evaluate our executive team’s performance. Thinking this is a no win situation.

People always compliment how soft my skin is, I honestly think it’s because I don’t shower daily so I never have to use lotion and my skin has a natural oil balance. I usually shower every other day or every 2 days. Unless I sweat or get dirty… Showering everyday is such an advertising concept, a whole industry is built on it, but we were not meant to shower every single day, 50 years ago most people didn’t

Since disconnecting with past stories my reality has drastically bent. My stories programmed my reality, attracting what I told myself I was/wasn't.

Can’t stop thinking about that CCO post on here where he was giving amazing advice away! Where can I find it?! 😩 help me fishies! 🐠

I’m struggling. I left an agency I liked last year due to growth limitations and since then I’ve worked at 2 different agencies and can’t seem to find my footing. The first one seemed like a good fit at first but then it turned out to not be the best place for me so I left. At my current agency I feel super undervalued. I’m always raising my hand and offering to help where I can and no matter what I do, I don’t feel utilized or valued or part of the team.It’s really taken a toll on my confidence

I have over 20,000 unread emails in my inbox.

My boss hits on me—and I kinda like it.
