Neither of us are religious anymore. TBH it's nice to not think about it at all, having both grown up learning to categorize ourselves and others mainly by religion. It still feels freeing to be able to completely ignore that mindset

Absolutely haram
My wife and I are heading into our third year. I've definitely levelled up because of her but still make too many mistakes and want a few traits I want to change.
So I mentioned I was starting my own company but I'm also still at my current firm so effectively working two jobs at a time. My body had enough of me juggling being a father husband and work a (holic was running on about four/five hours sleep weekdays) had a mini break down last week so I just need to find better balance, without sacrificing quality time with my wife and son.
Hey kidjr, sorry to be an asshole and cut you off but I was never really paying attention before and now that you mentioned you're starting your own company I vaguely remember that you're like a headhunter or trying to be one or something? I'm really sorry to sound so rude right now but I was wondering if there's any precedent of hiring psychologists in the finance field? I have a friend who just graduated with a degree in psychology and I'm pretty sure I can do all the math for her although she's not too shabby herself, and she's a fiend for doing research and shit just to make bratty points all the time, so can I just send you the resume already? Literally asking for a friend.

Shit, I hope you are doing alright.
Always sounds like you have a lot on your plate recently.
I know you previously mentioned you were starting your own firm, didn't know you were still working at your old place. I remember you said before that a previous employer was still using your information to clients.
Hit me up anytime in DMs if you ever need someone to chat to.

I'll be working on two jobs in tandem next week. I'm staying until we get my replacement. Truth be told, this job is hard enough as it is. Most of the time I find myself just sitting in front of the PC reading shit because I can't be arsed to do anything else after work.
It's fine to have mini breakdowns, especially if you have anxiety issues. Just try to remember not to let it affect your family. Kiss your wife, get her and your son a good snack from the shop on your way back from work once in a while. Those little things can help a lot in making them know that you're doing this for the family. Sometimes it's easy for us to forget.

Hung over as fuck but will try to articulate as best as I can.
When you say finance does your friend have an idea what they want to do in finance? its such a broad term with hundreds of thousands of jobs available and sub sectors within finance without knowing what your friends idea of finance is its hard to say. If you mean, they wanna work in a bank in say a middle to back office function 100% it's possible.
If you're referring to a revenue generating position then answer is still yes, less likely (just because of competition) but still possible, with that kind of background I'd highly recommend looking at discretionary type role (but again I'd need to know more about their background to give you an honest assessment of chances of success). Active discretionary firms are having a tough time at the moment but you'll still make money if you're good and tbh I quite like the idea of psychology background in that environment.
As strong as her math could be I'm going to guess it's probably not strong enough to go into a quant driven fund, few reasons it's more statistics than hardcore maths that you need. Tell her to read up on time series analysis and probability theory to see what her appetite for that kind of stuff is. But yeah its unlikely given her background she'll get a look in as quant researcher, best way I can explain it is if you think of systematic trading like a competition where everyone has access to the similar data set and you've got to uncover unique patterns that the other 100,000 quant havent found. So typically my clients will look for people not only with PhD in related subjects but bronze medalist upwards mathematical Olympiads.
Hit me up with what route she wants to go down and if she's happy to go down the discretionary route I can give you an overview of who what where and why.

I think that might the problem, nothing has been sacrificed (time with family etc) but sleep to fit everything in but thanks guys and working on finding a better balance. I dont even really see it as an issue because I love what I do and am a natural work a holic, so dont really see any issues but just need to learn to break better
I.... had the biggest moment of my career tonight, launching a brand new app for my company that I rewrote basically from scratch. It's such a huge improvement over the old version, both from a stability and performance perspective that I can barely believe it went off without a hitch thus far.
But that was a lot of work. Sheesh.

Went to dinner with my parents yesterday, always love being around them but shit got real when I made a joke and it immediately turned into my father telling me to give him a grandson. Mind you my mans already has 2 grandsons, but they're from my sister so their last name is different. After that I made a joke cause there was this little baby across from us, and I said "what about that baby over there, want me to snatch him up" he said "I don't care if she white...I want a grandson". He said I should get the Ethiopian woman I've been seeing pregnant, it was awkward but funny cause my mom doesn't care, she already has her 2 grand kids, never thought my father would be the one with baby fever.

You still get tested? My wife (who hates smoking weed BTW) has found that CBD's have helped her anxiety and sleep issues as well as something like a Xanax but without the addictive bullshit from popping pills.
By Disimpacted Go To PostWhat if adopted?
Nah, gotta be my DNA and my last name according to him. I didn't have the heart to say "What if it's a girl" lol
I think I’ve been put off subway for life. Had one earlier around 2pm, went to be bed around 10pm and woke at midnight hot as fuck and shaking like a shitting dog. Spewed out both ends.
If I wake up dead I want Smokey to have all my PC possessions.

Never got sick from subway, yet.
Usually order a veggie wrap with honey mustard+chipotle sauce, and extra servings of pickles, jalapeno peppers and onions. Good stuff.
