I never understood this obsession with gas prices

Thanks for sharing. Please understand my response is just opinion.

I think this is an elitist and bull shit response from someone who clearly has privilege and likely never experienced true financial hardship. Depending on the line of work, work situation, commute, etc., that could be $30 each day, week, or month. You have no idea. Perhaps you don’t drive to work everyday so you just fill up when you do errands or drive around for fun. Therefore it may not be a big deal for you. For others who drive to work everyday, have kids they drive to school or soccer, etc., this may impact them way more frequently, or they may need a bigger car which means more gallons which means more money. Also, some parts of the country are hit WAY harder than others due to access and time it takes to get the gas to begin with. I live in northeast and highest I saw was $5/gallon. Recently flew to west coast and first gas station was $9.50.

Most importantly, you have no idea what some peoples financial situations are. $30 may be nothing to you but could mean having dinner or not for others. Context matters, and currently your situation is not impacted greatly. That’s fine. Good for you. Others may experience this situation differently.

I've been following Coforge LinkedIn page, and I have decent offer from them. In one call HR said we will be moving towards 5 days work from Office, to which I said I don't mind. Now that aside, their LinkedIn posts everyone at VP SVP levels are joining.. seems like they are growing very fast, as hiring at such high Positions happens only that time.

Question is - whenever I compare Coforge with any other people say avoid Coforge.. Why????

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.

I am seeing a guy and having a hard time thinking about him in terms of long term relationship. One thing that bothers me is that he never showers after he comes back from the gym and I told him that I find it nasty. We currently live separately so I don't have to see him after he works out which is a good thing but I can easily see this being a problem in the future. Any tips? And NO I don't want to go to therapy lol

On the topic of intimacy with partners… I’ve been with my boyfriend for 2 years and the past year his libido has dropped to zero. Mostly due to work stress (he says). Whenever I try to initiate, he always shuts me down and says he’s not in the mood. I even touch him and he gets hard but stops me as soon as I try to unzip him. We went from once a week to maybe once a quarter.

I’ve talked to him about it and he says I should take care of myself. So frustrated. 😭😭

I'm feeling a lot of anger towards my manager (now he's acting normal but there were moments where he was condescending/dismissive/mocked my and others work/arrogant/said stuff was "wrong" constantly/belittling the difficulty of tasks etc. in the past project).
Maybe it is "standard chewing out" but it bothered me a lot. So much that I find myself still getting all fired up inside thinking about it...
Idk how to let go of this :/ Thoughts?
