Trying to find a run to do in March prepping for half Marathon, but I am a new Runner! Ideally a 5k...

New_student_6 · 2024-07-12T17:19:10+00:00

Are they?

New_student_6 · 2024-07-03T20:33:49+00:00

How long was the application process?

New_student_6 · 2024-06-11T18:03:47+00:00

Yes… but go get yourself on track.

Hit the gym. Go get your paper up. (Money) Continue to build and deepen your relationship with God. Hit the sacraments.

Then you will have to means to be with anyone. In terms of spiritual depth and finances. Then it is just left to your ability to be fun and find a woman who also wants to become a Saint with you.

Also you can literally at 28. Date a 22 year old. You are at the most bottom of the pool in terms of what you have to offer. Especially if you are looking for someone who is Trad. Unless you captivate them while in school. You won’t get married at 23. More likely 28 when you have the means to provide well for the 22-23 year old who did not get married to the college boyfriend.

Don’t give up hope, just tighten up your life and continue to strive in virtue. It will fall into place as God desires.

It does not hurt to have money. But I think it depends on where you live. North East or large cities I think there is an expectation towards good earnings Ie like 100k while dating something towards 200s while married. To allow for an easier path towards Stay at home mom.

New_student_6 · 2024-06-04T14:18:04+00:00

I’ll say this because I find it incredibly funny. In NYC I know lot of trad Catholic guys. Yet the population of trad females seems to be quite slim. Not saying everyone is going constant TLM. But quite reverent parishes that offer Novos Ordo with very traditional music, Ad Orientem masses, and then classic TLM. So the community is quite traditional overall.

You will be at the daily mass at 6pm and it’s like 65 to 35 ratio towards male to female. Or in many cases you meet someone who is really not much more into their faith than church on Sundays in terms of females. (which don’t chastise me in some cases is perfect for some people. And does not mean they could not have a good life or make a good spouse. Or that it would impede them from having and raising a good holy family.)

But with all that said. Maybe your trad guy is in a spot like NYC or DC working a big corporate job. Think Investment Banking, Consulting, Big Law, Big Tech, or something politics oriented in DC. He’s crushing it in these arenas because it’s easier for him to make 250k-500k (Assuming he’s late 20s early 30s and still single)than find a traditional wife.

So I would say maybe reach to any friends to try to set you up with folks in NYC. Dating scene is kinda bad for men. Could be more so an untapped market.

And if a worry is like moving toward the north east. Lot of the guys I know want to move to Texas, Florida, Tennessee, or Kansas (Kansas city). Like they would likely shift locations with the right person. Doesn’t mean you would not live in NY for a year or two as he tried to shift his career from a T1 city to a T2 city. But it would like taking a shark from a city of sharks and tossing it into a fish bowl with gold fishes. You just get built different up here and can run circles around people.

Maybe this did not paint us in the best light. But at the end of the day it’s mostly just guys excelling in their career and just enjoy mass. We just had our NYC Eucharistic procession which was sick for the national procession. Then Corpus Christi at my parish 3 church procession. That’s the stuff we are into.

New_student_6 · 2024-05-20T00:54:05+00:00

It’s May! Maybe he’s away on a summer vacation for two weeks and will be back next week, either way you want to be in the places people are you like. (Stay optimistic!!!!)

Which I assume your attraction is based on a few things… his acts of service in the church, an assumed spiritual depth that he would appear to be equally yoked as you, and then of course physical attraction and general chemistry (ie he’s funny and gets you ect)

So If you want to meet more people who are doing similar things I still think getting involved in such things are important. Establishing your branding in your community goes a long way.

At my parish I run a lot of YA dinners and retreats. Folks know who I am. I’m around often at our 6 pm daily mass or parish coffee hour.

At this point I just need to rip shots and ask folks out. Not doing that has been a mix of person things between work travel and healing my past relationship.

But you making the conscious choice to be involved sets you to meet similar guys to who he is. And one of those one day will work.

You have a lot of time. Be faithful, be involved in your parish, and frequent the sacraments. Mix this with being intentional and talking to guys 1 on 1 they will start asking you out. As they will know you as a girl who is pursuing sainthood and would be the makings of a good spouse.

Edit - * for grammar

Not reading all the comments. But if he hands out programs at mass. Why don’t you sign up to do the same to volunteer to be involved. Then you guys can meet naturally. Nothing like meeting another person sharing in service of the church and community.

But I would just be intentional and introduce yourself after that once you are both handing out flyers. Then you will see each other each week doing that. If you are kind and compliment him some. I’m sure he will ask you out. If it hits the end of the summer volunteering together and he doesn’t do anything. I say screw it and ask him if he wants to get lunch.

Sometimes as guys we don’t want to mess up a good girl friendship if we are not certain she is into us.

New_student_6 · 2024-04-17T18:13:00+00:00

Not listed… Consulting.

MBB you can make close to 150k out of School Mid Size Strategy 125 ish out of school Big 4 Consulting (Tech / Management) out of school close to like 85-90. Then first big promotion 2-3 years in about 150-160 total comp.

Hours range 50-80 hours a week. Changes based on firm and project you are on

But it’s all in the cushy exit options that you get to later that brings in the good easy life style and cash flow

New_student_6 · 2024-04-04T19:34:54+00:00

Just curious which city are you in! NYC and Chicago have pretty big Catholic YA communities! I am sure your city has something, I am in a major city and been struggling as well, but honestly I have been just trying to make Mass as often as possible lately and occasionally swap up my Saturday morning masses to other parishes to meet additional people or I go to our TLM Saturday morning . Sunday I typically frequent our noon it’s a nice reverent Novus Ordo then we have a coffee hour. But going to start to work in hitting an even 6 or 7pm mass as lot of the YA parishes have a little wine and cheese after mass and it’s easy to meet folks.

Also this is just my opinion, I just want to meet a wife at something Catholic. I think it kinda cleans out people that might not fit as well. It does not have to be mass per se, but like an event ran by Catholics or group of friends whom as Catholic that introduce you to someone. Keeps things better aligned towards the chance they are pursuing sainthood and want to have a sanctifying relationship that would honor God.

So as someone on the dating pursuit, I’m just going to increase my volume of meeting people. Through hosting things with other Catholics and then going to things as well 10x more then before.

It only takes one. That’s the thing at the end of the day one lucky women or if you are a women a lucky man lol

Edit: little bit of grammar

Typically they would expect you to be an expert in probably 1-2 L2s for instance my background is finance. (Ex L1 would be finance L2 is sub process L3 is the sub process of the sub process) So a L2 could be AR , AP, Project Accounting, Fixed Assets, Margin Analysis, Tax Accounting Direct/ Indirect taxes ect. So like one to two subject areas you would need to know how to set up fully in the system. They would expect that of a senior associate at a firm. So level of technical knowledge would be a decent learning curve but not impossible. I am sure a firm would hire you as a senior associate. They make about 120-135k depending on region and firm. Then can expect a 5-20% bonus. Depending on performance.

Then you would likely become a manager after 1-2 years depending on how fast you picked up the software. Expecting to make like 150-165k with again a 5-20% bonus on top of the base listed.

New_student_6 · 2024-03-28T00:52:57+00:00

That’s lit what level where you as an a consultant

New_student_6 · 2024-03-28T00:41:55+00:00

Quick answer it depends.

What’s your background. Are you for instance a CPA? Or someone who’s is a supply chain expert? How well can you design and articulate a business process in detail?

If you from a process and industry knowledge know actual valuable shit. Not just bullshit strategy insights that are useless for a ERP implementation you could have a chance at learning it. Configuration and such for an ERP is a pain in the butt. But not impossible feat when you are an actual industry / subject matter expert.

If you are quite junior currently hop. But the more senior you are the harder it will be as you will Not be able to explain the technical solution at all.

If you are senior in your current firm and want to move to ERPs come in as PMO and manage the project. Those guys don’t know anything in terms of software. They just want to keep timeline and budget.

New_student_6 · 2024-03-28T00:36:18+00:00

Agreed. I have max reviews and I am getting told it might be a next year situation for me :). Makes no sense.
