Funny. It makes it even harder when you see and hear them a lot, or if you hear people talking about them. You know how you just want to forget about an ex? Well when they're a celebrity, it makes that really hard. Only my close friends and family know, and now all you anonymous FB'ers.

Hi Guys,
I have multiple offers including offers from TCS.
But the TCS offer is less. So I'm not planning to join. Will the company block me if I do not join.

Going back to work Jan 4 and my 3 month old won’t take a bottle. We’ve tried since she was 1.5 months and she just holds the bottle nipple in her mouth but she doesn’t suck.

For now, I’m ok with breastfeeding while working, but just in case with meetings and whatnot, it’d just be awesome if my husband could feed her.

Any advice? Is it possible to get baby on a feeding schedule that I could just put on my Google calendar as “pumping” time?

Looking to leave but trying to conceive ( 1 year now and having fertility issue). I am sticking around cause the flexibility is great with me need to see RE and get blood draw. But also concerned I'm just going to end up not leaving if I never get pregnant :( Upcoming year will be a new client for me and I know it'll bring stress. However a new role in industry might not be as easy either and I'll need to prove myself, where as currently I'm already regarded as a high performer and gained trust.
