What’s your firm’s paternity leave policy for male associates? At Midwest AM-200 firm and just learned 4 weeks paid. New moms get disability (70%) for 6 weeks and 4 weeks paid. Seem low for 2019...

Any dads out here? Wife is 20 weeks pregnant with our first and want to connect and know from fellow dads on how are they coping. How are you helping your partner? Feel I am not doing enough. Except for getting ready with the finances.

Pregnant moms, feel free to provide suggestions on what your partner is doing which you really appreciate. I got the foot massage part covered. 😉

Anyone else find themselves getting extremely stressed at work during pregnancy? It’s like my emotions are just off and I get so stressed so easily. I want to be calm for baby but it’s hard to not get worked up!

Parents- how much are you saving for your kids? Married mid 30s and family income is around 200k. We both max employer 401k. Have around 30k debt. Lcol and low mortgage. Would you pay off debt- or focus on kids savings? Oldest kid is 7 years out from college and will have some VA benefits.

Any book recommendations for grieving the death of an estranged parent?

Since most dinners these days entail standing over our kitchen island, want to go all out on the food. We already have Matsuhisa and Mt. Standard lined up, curious to hear about any others!

SM on my project stepped away on paternity leave. SM was the one who led partner discussions and most of the client meetings. We're a week from a client deadline.

As a manager, I'm stepping but incredibly stress with the amount of moving parts. I don't have a strong rapport with the partner (Neither did the SM) to be open and transparent on how stressful I'm feeling without downgrading myself.

I'm sick to the stomach and very anxious, stressed at the suddenness of the thrust.

Help!

What are the best things to do in Portland over the holiday season? Just moved here in October and I want to know what's good, I'm single so events where you can meet people would be great too. What's fun here while it's cold??

Was recently offered comp of 160k with 20% bonus was informed will not receive bonus for 2022 due to time of year (too late based on hiring date) Therefore I'm curious to say if I should be asking for higher salary base or a sign on bonus in lieu of the lack of bonus since I won't be receiving a bonus until 2024 technically?

Thanks!

People from NYC, odds of finding a BB58 (preferably in black) at one of the major ADs? I have no previous relationship with tourneau, wempe, or watches of Switzerland

Landing in Zurich in 6 hours. What are my chances of picking up a Submariner or GMT at/below retail from an AD? Will also be in Lucerne.

I just saw that a Hubler watch given to Hitler sold at auction for $1.1 million. It is an interesting watch (despicable as the recipient of said watch was), but it got me thinking about a larger question: does anyone here collect watches owned by the famous (or infamous)?

Does anyone have a Farer watch? Or does anyone have thoughts on them?

Any Rolex AD recommendations/connects in Miami area? Tyia

Narrowing down my first above $1k watch. What would you go with?
BB58 vs Omega Moon Speedmaster vs Grand Seiko snowflake

I write TV commercials, and since Bulova created the first TV ad, I’ve been interested in adding one to the collection. I know more about their ad history than the actual watches. Anyone have a recommendation?

Any experience with Frederique Constant? Seems like a good starter brand

Looking to buy Rolex OP. Thoughts on new vs used? Is the additional ~2k worth it for new?

Looking to buy my fiancé the Speedmaster Racing current edition as an engagement watch. It’s listed as $8,750 on Omega’s website; Geneva Seal (in Chi where we live) quoted me $8,200 all-in & they’ll cover tax; my jeweler knows a watch broker in NY who quoted me $8,250. I’m not at all familiar with this process so 1) can anyone recommend a better venue for this purchase? 2) are any of the quotes I’ve gotten so far good? (My friend’s watch guy said brokers can get Omegas up to 36% off retail?)

Have a 6.25 inch wrist: is the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 41 mm too big for my wrist?
