In the future when we have enough fishes in this bowl, we won't have to look out for job offers, the fellow fishes will help us out.

I struggled with binge drinking for many years after my mom passed away. I have been sober for the past 12 months. My husband has struggled with drinking for a long time as well, and just got done serving a 6 month sentence for his second DUI (on ankle bracelet at home for 4 months of the sentence). He got out of jail this week, and he has drank almost everyday since. He says he is different now, and can control himself (i.e, he won't be abusive or drive). Continued in comments..

How much do Desis working in the usa spend on clothes? No matter how much my salary increases, I cannot get myself to spend over $20 on a piece of clothing.

I’m a litigator lateraling to a V20 that has agreed to give me a full market YE bonus. But I know their conflicts process can take a long time, which could result in me leaving my current job as late as December. (1) Would they judge me for asking for 2 weeks between jobs, given that this could mean I get a 2021 bonus despite barely working for them in 2021; (2) Could they ask for me to wait for my bonus at my current firm before leaving if conflicts clears on the later end?

Now my current sal is 15LPA and we have increment scheduled in next month. So could you please suggest how much hike I should ask for?

My coworker and I went to grad to school together for two years, and now have been working at the same firm on the same team for the past two years. We are both currently interviewing with another firm, hoping that we will be put on the same team. Does anyone have experience in asking to be on the same team as someone you know? We are great thought partners and that’s why our client deliverables are so great.

Anyone able to send referrals this way? Or if not, perhaps a friendly like to unlock DMs please 😅?

20 year road warrior here. My wife & I made it work through teamwork & commitment. My weekends were spent at home. Doing family things.

I know a guy who (pre COVID) traveled every week, yet found time to do 200 mile weekend biking trips with his ‘crew’. Almost every weekend.

His family vacations always seemed to include a 500 mile bike race or some other extreme event.

He is now doing this in Europe (according to IG).

How do spouses put up with that?
