Paralegal in India here primarily in M&A law and white collar investigation and advisory and wanted to know whether there are any Paralegal certifications that are globally recognised and worth pursuing? By worth pursuing I mean adding to my skill set and boosting CV thereby my employability. I’m looking to eventually move and do the bridge exam in Canada. Thank you!!

Does anyone have the 2020 SHRM books for sale or to borrow? My job won’t contribute towards my certification. I’ve already paid for my test. I have the books from 2015 but I’d like to study from the 2020. I tried finding them online to purchase but sellers of affordable books aren’t responding.

I’m in my second long-term relationship (first was from age 16-20, he broke up with me). My current boyfriend and I have been together for 3 years and I feel like it’s time to end things. However, I’ve never ended a long-term relationship and it feels legitimately impossible. Our lives and families are so intertwined and I just don’t know what to do. How did you end your long-term relationship? Advice?

Any white males on here dating Asian females, specifically Chinese? I’m a white male with a Chinese girlfriend and I’m a bit worried about meeting the parents (they are in China; we are in Australia). They’ve said to my girlfriend that they’d prefer her to date Chinese so they are able to communicate with her boyfriend, but other than that it seems ok. Does anyone have experience in this situation? How did it turn out?

Why do people at big 4 work so much if they have offshore teams to help? I'm at a MM firm and we get crappy data all day plus we're building everything out ourselves but even then I'm still able to keep it under 50 hours most weeks.

How do I fill my resume up if I’ve only been in FDD for 3 months? Want to keep my resume updated but have limited deal experience since I’ve been on the bench.

Looking for open opportunities for a senior B4 auditor to transition to Restructuring/Turnaround or M&A (TAS) consulting.

I love the excel work and analysis that comes with FDD, but the report writing is my least favorite part of the job. Looking to exit and was leaning towards FP&A, but am worried of the heavy report writing needed for FP&A. Are these worries in line with FP&A or does it depend on the company / role. Would appreciate insight and thoughts on other exit possibilities that I should explore.
