To my Deloitte colleagues: I just returned from maternity leave, and while I’m very grateful I was able to stay home with baby for 6 months I’m really anxious about returning and my utilization (50% now). Our RM is really slow and says we have a lot of new projects but hasn’t assigned me to one. I am doing trainings but not billing, and I don’t believe I’ll be staffed next week or the next either. Have reached out to a partner for extra work but haven’t heard back. Afraid I’ll get fired.

Need some advice, I’m a third year healthcare/corp/M&A associate in Texas from a small firm. Was let go today because of recent hires and not enough billable work. Feel like I should try everything possible to secure another job and still a bit shocked. So if anyone in this bowl has any leads, please let me k ow! TIA!

What agency offers employees the best per diem?

Do you think itd be better to be left home with a 10-12 week old baby or a 15-17 week old baby? Hubby needs to choose when to go to a 5 day training...

Hi

Wellbeing Program
Employees will receive a reimbursement of up to INR 10,000 for eligible expenses per calendar year.

What's this program in S&P Global?

An agency I used to work at had another round of layoffs today bringing the total number of people who have lost their job to nearly 40. They then went on to post across social media today about the One Show awards they won. The lack of humanity in this industry is disgusting.

Can one retire early as a Partner say around 55 instead of 60? How will it impact pension benefits?

Is it worth buying Rotimatic ? First time parents with baby turning 1 year soon and living in a city here in US, both working ling hours. Desi aunti are not in general available here who can come to cook once per week, considering going Rotimatic route to give fresh food to our baby.

Anyone ever have experience negotiating a new offer to include unvested 401k match and stock grants from your current employer? I hate leaving money on the table but there are some good roles out there. I’m not fully vested in my current 401k yet and my stock grants haven’t matured yet either. This would be at a global director level.

Hey fish,
I recently got laid off from a corporate apm role (building in-house software). I’ve been reviewing my product notes, joining summits, going to meet and greets, etc on top of applying for jobs.
I’m have a BA and have done some UX/Data Analytics/Product School certs and now am researching which areas would be most beneficial to expand on for my next role. What do you find to be the hard or soft skills that helped you the most in your pm roles and industry?

Welp, I won’t be buying Balenciaga ever again. It’s so disturbing, and whoever thought it a clever marketing ploy, should be fired.

I feel I’m penalized for being efficient. They asked me to help prep TRs even though I’m utilized 100%+ while the others who claimed being busy are at less than 90%.

Anyone else hate Mother’s Day? I feel like I have to explain why I don’t have kids and I absolutely love my family, but they always include me in Mother’s Day celebrations... they give me cards and gifts celebrating me as an “auntie” or a “cat mom” feels like a consolation prize or something.

Does anyone have advice on moving from advertising to consulting? Seeing a lot on here that people with consulting careers are miserable, but still interested lol.

Currently at a small company with start up vibes. Looking for a large company with structured training and growth opportunities and the bigger consulting firms seem to match that ideal.

Thoughts on implementation opportunities/career outlooks?

What are some of the most interesting interview questions you have ever been asked?

I’m feeling discouraged by the research out there that shows that no matter how you lose weight, even if you do it the “right” way, it always comes back. Can anyone point to a peer reviewed study that shows weight can be kept off long term? And how to do it? Would love to have a little hope ✨

Purdue was a mere .27% of the vote away from avoiding a runoff entirely on election day in November. This should have been a cake walk for him.

What websites have people used to find a nanny? Or is there some magic Facebook group I need to be a part of? Also, I know this varies per part of the country, but what would you pay weekly or monthly for a nanny two days a week 9-4ish for two kids, 3 months and 3? Just trying to make sure I don’t low ball or wildly over pay.

What are your favorite books on raising toddlers?

Any moms/families travel much (or just locally) when having an infant/toddler? It would be nice to go on a few trips here and there out of state but don’t know if it’s better to wait and then start traveling once they are old enough to perhaps remember family trips. Would love any input.

Gift cards for teachers… Amazon vs target vs Dunkin’ Donuts?

What’s one really annoying thing about parenthood? I’m going to say it’s when you are trying to help a toddler put on their shoes and they are being totally unhelpful, flexing their foot, curling their toes...😩

Has anyone at PwC transitioned to IFS? My daughter is almost 2 but I honestly just don’t have the drive to stay in my LOS anymore. I’m assuming it will come with a pay cut?

When is a “good time” to return to work after having a baby? Was thinking of taking a full year to finish breastfeeding but I hear toddlers are even harder than infants!! 😅

Any McKinsey&co mums. I’ve been contacted by a recruiter to discuss a position. I’m a mum of two very young girls (<2) and I’m wondering if that option is worth discussing, given the demanding schedule in the company. I’m keen to work and be successful, but not happy to leave my girls for 3-4 nights a week. Any intel greatly appreciated 🙏

Question for the moms! We are working on transitioning to a sippy cup. My lil dude puts it his mouth and holds it but doesn’t know to suck to get the milk/water out. We have tried two different cups so far. Is there one you recommend or do you have any tips to get him to suck on it?

My son is three months old and our nanny is starting in January. I’m already anxious that my baby will start favoring her over me once I start working (and I work a lot). I plan to wfh at least 3 times a week, and to play with him when 1-2 times and during lunch during the day, but don’t want to annoy the nanny either. I’m also worried he won’t be spending enough time with dad. Any advice?

Anyone else suffering from Sunday night blues...wondering just how I’m actually going to work and “home school” at same time...the school and teachers have been amazing but still going to tough on Mom

I’ve worked in child welfare for over a year now. I go above and beyond to keep families together. By any means necessary. I recently had my 2nd child and I’m dreading going back to work. It’s depressing and has really effected my mental health. I recently gave birth to my 2nd child. Postpartum is hitting hard and the thought of going back to working on cases of child abuse is depressing. I don’t think I can handle it any longer. Any advice on career transition? Wfh/ hybrid opportunities?

FTM, looking for cute summer maternity clothes, but don’t want to break the bank. I’m 5’2” and don’t want to just wear maxi dresses, not always a good look on someone so short.... any suggestions?

My husband is mad at me because I don't want to take a scheduled c section next week and instead prefer to have a wait and see approach to hopefully go into labor on my own as I'm trying for a vbac. His reasoning is that his work schedule is already free next week so it's much better for him and the risk of c section version vbac to me or baby is "infantecimal". The more I think about it, the more pissed I'm getting as he's not having either of our best interests at heart. Am I over reacting ?

I hate PE. It’s Christmas Eve and I should be stuffing stockings but instead I’m working for an “urgent” request. This is after weekend work covering urgent requests. I want to throw up.

How many of you women or women you know are actually affected by the formula shortage? I keep seeing it on my feed and while I don’t have kids atm we’re planning to start trying in a few months. It is over 9 months away and it shouldn’t be a factor in us having kids but I’ll admit I wouldn’t want to not have the BASIC resources if I can’t properly breastfeed.
