One thing I got for mine (tbh the only gift I remember other than checks) was this card saying money had been donated in my honor to this charity that provided farm animals to communities and how it gave 10 chickens which would provide x amount of eggs, 1 cows which could provide milk and cheese for x amount of people, etc. They wrote a nice card saying like Jesus said to feed the poor and hungry so I’m donating this in your honor or something. As a 7 year old I thought that was cool because I could understand the charity and animals and how they helped people.

Give him cash. Depends on how close you are to him but $50-$100 is probably good.

Am catholic. Not sure on gift but just be sure your shoulders are covered in the church. It’s an often overlooked thing by non Catholics and is a sign of respect.

A shawl works if you have a sleeveless dress and it's going to be hot out. My normal summer mass outfit was a sleeveless button down, knee length skirt, leather flats, and a light shawl.

Business or business casual is fine if you are participating. I treat it like another birthday so whatever the parents needs I'll get.

Can’t go wrong with a card and some money... if you want a more ‘religious’ gift, I’m guessing etsy probably sells a bunch of religious/bible verse art, cross hangings, and custom picture frames to commemorate first communion. Or you could get a little book of prayers or kid’s bible... For outfit- pretty much whatever you’d wear to work for business casual is fine- no jeans or sneakers

I received some nominal savings bonds (<$100) at mine which may be a good gift

Thanks everyone!

I grew up catholic and there was never an issue with shoulders or ankles. Wear something nice but don’t worry about modesty beyond what you’d wear to the office.

What is the solution to give to your manager when you have too much on your plate but your team is struggling to hire more people (like everywhere else), agency won’t say “no” to clients adding more work, there are team members with even more work than you, and finding a new job isn’t financially feasible? Is it even possible to fix?

Big tech or consulting? Which do you prefer as a career and why? I realize this is really general. I’m interviewing with Accenture and Amazon and the opportunities and career trajectory or so wildly different. This would be my entrance into consulting and concerned that if I wait too long, consulting would be a pay cut without prior consulting experience. It’s already looking like a financially lateral move but high potential. Vs tech is a big jump financially but different career direction.
