When do you know it is the right time to go back home?
Been living abroad for 3.5 years now and start to feel more and more homesick. Especially miss multitude of events and can feel my family growing old.

Just realized that I didn’t pack my phone charger , I guess no long FaceTime sessions with my fiancé this week 😀

Does anyone else ever feel like their parents lean too heavily on them for financial support? Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love them and I’m so thankful. It just seems like the older they get, the less shy they are about asking for things and I’m hitting a point where I’m going to have to start saying no.

Looking for some perspective: we just got a brand new $2,000 glass top 78" dining table. I asked my husband to please use a table cloth when he uses that table for d&d with his friends to avoid scratches and the loud dice on the table. He got upset that I "don't let him enjoy our stuff," that I "hate the sound of him having fun," and he says I am being unreasonable. From my perspective, I just want to preserve this expensive piece of furniture that we both love. Am I being unreasonable?

Reached out to an ex after not being in contact for 4 years. Said “Hi, I hope all is well.” No response. Intention was not to get back together (we’re both married now), more to mend fences since we were good friends once upon a time. Was reaching out a mistake?

Early mornings became my best friend once I had kids. Managing to put 2 to 3 hrs of work Sat and Sun before they are awake means that I get to spend more time with them during the day.

I just received an email to my personal account intended for someone else with the same name as me from their cousin wanting to reconnect. They said all these amazing things about this other person...

Well that’s the end of that! Madi & Peter broke up. I’m sure the rumors about him sleeping with Kelly & a producer + reaching out to Hannah B had something to do with it 🙄

Do you guys ever feel like you're 'too Asian' in the workplace but 'not Asian enough' when it comes to family/friends? My morals are rooted in Asian traditions, but can't speak my native language well

Been actively applying to jobs with no bites. Feeling pretty disheartened because really want to relocate closer to family. Going to keep trudging!

does anyone else ever want to permanently disassociate with their immediate and extended family? we’ve never really gotten along smoothly and even in this time of my need (which is rare) they keep putting themselves first so i’m not exactly sure what’s the point of them being around since my quality of life is so much better without them.

What is my buddy?? What kind of help I can expect from him??

How do you deal with trying to live and establish a life of your own but also making sure to grateful and aware of the sacrifices your family has made to get you to where you are now?

To those of you resistant to family cars - I’m a sports car driving, fast car loving, low to the ground kind of mom-to-be. (e.g. no back seat, no back doors). Obvi I need to get a new car but what isn’t too large, makes sense for a 3 person family (no more kids coming), while not sacrificing my need for speed and desire for a smaller/low to the ground/well handling ride? So far considering an S4 /S5, 3 or 4 series. Back doors seems to be a requirement for getting in and out of a car seat huh!🙄

My husband and I have had problems for years. He used to basically give me next to no affection, our sex life barely existed (incl. his absolute refusal to do foreplay … ever!) and his general dismissal of anything I enjoyed (my hobbies were boring to him). Over the last year I just gave up trying and accepted we may need to divorce. Now he is trying a lot- he puts in a lot of effort. While a few years ago this would have made me happy I feel like it’s too little too late, I just don’t care ..

My dog walker just told me she’s moving and I don’t know of anyone else who provides dog walking services in my neighborhood.
I work 9-10 hour shifts. My girl and I get lots of exercise in the evenings, and she does not have anxiety being alone.. but I’m worried.

For those that work 8hr+/day, what do you do?

Work from home is not an option for me right now.

I've done some crazy stuff in my life, some of it has been fairly dangerous. I just had to give my wife a progesterone injection and I've never been that scared. I hope this all works.

How many of you ladies are planning or ended up being a stay at home mom post maternity leave? I'm really considering it because I've always desired to stay home for a few years in child's first few years of life and we can afford it, but I'm also feeling a little sheepish about my work reputation and losing a great role (since I would have to quit). This will be my first child, FYI

December feels like a country song. Two dogs died on the 1st. A hard rain exposed latent roof damage and collapsed ceiling in two rooms. Stove, fridge and water heater all went out on the same day last week. Yesterday my spouse said they needed a break from the chaos through the holidays and left. Today a positive covid test. And 7 deals trying to close before year end requiring my full attention so none of the aforementioned can get any attention.

Associates, don’t let this become you.

Is a mid-tier firm better for people with children?

Seen a lot of “my company is so amazing posts” continuously on LinkedIn a la “here at XYZ we give people lots of time off and it’s amazing” or even “so happy XYZ company allowed me to take maternity/paternity leave” - are folks just trying to look like team players or do employees get some sort of incentive for doing this at companies? I feel like the folks I see that work at Salesforce (for example) do this constantly and more so than other big companies.

Hi fishes,

I’ve heard that going from Big 4 to MBB even with M7 MBA is not very common. MBB wants their consultants to start “from the beginning.” Is this true? Do other firms like ATK/LEK/Wyman do the same?

Accenture company feels to me a narrow minded for employees who are on GCP Program. Everything needs a project. So being in GCP, Employees wants to pursue more than just delivery role such as Business Development outside of project is not possible. For getting laptop, you need project WBSe. If you don't have project you need to repatriate, isnt this stupid? Also, if you don't have project no one cares about you. MDs just take care of its own project. Once you are out, You are left alone.

I deserve to be so much more hungover than I am right now. Happy 4th! 🇺🇸
