What are you getting into tonight?

Gay man who works in a large org that is big on diversity and inclusion efforts. I’d say about 50-60% of people (at all levels, across all age groups and races) list their gender pronouns in email signature. I list mine because I see it as a way to show support for colleagues who may not be cisgender. If anyone else works in the same type of environment, do you infer anything about colleagues who choose not to list their gender pronouns? (such as they are homo/trans phobic?)

Looking to make a change from Canada (Toronto) to Dubai. Any thoughts or Big4 Cloud Consulting roles in the ME? Deloitte is generally the global leader. Any thoughts on Digital/Cloud Transformation in MENA?

I’d like to get golf lessons as a gift for my husband. We live 30 mins north-west of Boston. Any suggestions on how I can find a really great golf instructor?…

Where can I get a Tux? Nothing too crazy <$1500

What are some publications, books, podcasts, online classes etc that can help me prepare for my first year in consulting? Have 5 years of experience in finance and making the jump to consulting.

Who's Gina? everyone seems to people talking about in the confession bowl.

Anyone switched from B4 audit to advisory (ex. management consulting, deal advisory)? How did you start networking / get the opportunity? Any advice?

Best ways to create a realistic, healthy work environment?

Our appraisal came through exactly as the offer price we put. Apparently by lenders 3rd party. Isnt that a bit fishy? If it came in lower our contract has the option to negotiate a bit with seller. Is lender just trying to push this along faster? I'm pretty sure in this crazy market the home is not valued at what we offered. Why would seller put a much lower asking price then? Make no sense. Please advise!

Hey everyone, curious about pros/cons and profitability of renting out a unit long term vs AirBnB. Let’s say it’s a condo downtown in a big city, how do you figure out what’s the better option?

Closing on my first home. Advice for anyone with student loans in administrative forbearance per the Cares act: once your offer is accepted have you student loan servicer put your account back in repayment status.

Accounts in forbearance, even administrative forbearance, are calculated at a higher monthly payment by the underwriter.

My fictitious debt to income ratio was too high for them to approve me, and it took seven days for my loan to be officially back in repayment. So just a heads up.

Trying to think of some places to leave Citi for. Already applied to JP and GS. Someone reached out to me today via LinkedIn after one of my posts of places I’m looking to relocate to and they recommended Capital One. Never even considered them. Anybody know anything about them? Good company to work for, good culture? Any negatives?

Now is a good time to wish MC to people who wish you HBD on your birthday. What do these people do with the time they save wishing someone?

Hi Fishes, This would be my first time working with UK Clients as a BA. Any suggestions? How is the work culture and ethics they follow? - Cordial enough or Aggressive ? Thanks!

That guy who posted the backpacks post got ratio’d in to oblivion and deleted his post.

Glad to see cool heads prevail

NYC wine club meetup?

Any recommendations on getting into wine? I love other specialty beverages (3rd wave coffee, craft beer), but struggle to “figure out” wine.

The ability to get involved with local beer and coffee producers has been a huge factor for me, so I’m guessing the comparative lack of local wine producers has contributed to me struggling to understand more of the process, culture, tasting notes, etc.

I keep getting sour wines. I’ve never had this issue before but the last few bottles I got (store shelf, nothing too fancy) tasted like they were opened and left out. That gross stale sort of sour taste… but the cork was in tight and sealed. 🧐

Love Spanish/Balearic wine, my go to is currently Sa Vall Selecció Privada from a Vineyard in Mallorca.

What other Spanish wines do you recommend?

Out of pure curiosity, does anyone in here currently work in the wine industry? I’m interested to get a sense of experience levels here. (Not that it matters at all! We all learn at our own pace.)

I work in wine media now, but pre-pandemic was a Sommelier in restaurants in NYC.

Have any of my fellow corporate wine professionals made their way onto Fishbowl yet? 🍷

I'm looking for wine recommendations as a bourbon drinker. I'm a regular to barrel proof bourbons (120+ proof) and did a few red wines tonight but was expecting more. I'm hoping to find a red that is more full tasting or has a more pronounced finish.

For those who care about organic or biodynamic - what are your best recommendations? Girlfriend is very into this stuff and looking for some purchases for her
