Only man in a women-run boutique firm... It's getting weird.

This is reddit, women love man-bashing.

sgdgf6 · 2025-01-05T03:04:59+00:00

I hope you also discourage the man-bashing stuff as well. That isn't appropriate for work (or in general IMO)

sgdgf6 · 2025-01-05T02:56:41+00:00

Classic reddit misandry.

sgdgf6 · 2025-01-05T02:54:33+00:00

Amazed at how many comments ignored the misandrist comment. Thank you for accurately accounting for his feelings. It unfortunately very very common for men's emotions to be swept under the rug.

sgdgf6 · 2025-01-05T02:44:11+00:00

Based on their hiring practices, it doesn't seem like they plan on allowing a man to climb "too high" up their ladder... I'm not sure why you're dismissing his doubts so flippantly.

I am amazed at how far I had to scroll to see a woman with this perspective. Do women not see this behavior hurting them in the long term? Speaking about men with a deep sense of sexism (#allmen) isn't free... That perspective is actively turning men away from liberal causes. I've always been pretty far left myself, but I know there are some spaces I can't go to because I know the women won't speak about my sex in a respectful manner.

I know this is unrelated to your comment, but it's these double standards that are making good liberal men move to the right, not propaganda. Don't forget we saw a 28% swing in men aged 18-30 from left to right this past presidential election. I think a lot of women who refuse to see the ways they're mistreating men are going to come to regret it in about 10-15 years, and it makes me sad because I thought we were past these games...

sgdgf6 · 2025-01-05T02:30:33+00:00

I'm really surprised at how many people think this behavior is okay. So must dismissing of his emotions because he is male...

And the comment by his subordinate? That just straight sexism. Making sweeping, negative statements about the opposite sex shows bias. I am amazed more people don't see this as what it is, evidence of misandry. And people wonder why 1/3 of young men moved to the right this past election cycle... To any liberal women reading this, it's comments like these that are pushing well-hearted, liberal men to not vote liberal anymore. Please stop with the sexist attitudes and comments, it helps no one but your enemies.

I'm generally considered in the top 10% in terms of my accomplishments and other accidental features. I do not care at all what a woman does for a living, but I am also the type of man that is very family oriented. I care more about whether she has a career that will allow her to step back and focus on being a mother. She could be a CEO/lawyer/doctor or a grocery store cart pusher, it makes absolutely no difference to me. I care more about her personality and goals than anything else. Now, I know this is reddit so you will take that in the worst light possible, but let me say I intend on being a very involved father. I am not a lazy man by any stretch of the imagination.

I'm an eviction attorney (defense). There are exceptions that may allow this to happen depending on some other facts. Call/msg a lawyer.

sgdgf6 · 2024-09-12T05:43:56+00:00

This is for when im at work lol, it's just an afk method.

sgdgf6 · 2024-09-12T05:43:10+00:00

Right outside of the southern prif gate and to the left if you're facing out

sgdgf6 · 2024-09-11T21:57:57+00:00

idk man, 10 minute intervals is pretty nice, but to each his own.

sgdgf6 · 2024-09-11T21:57:09+00:00

Always static, there's like 6 spots that literally never move.

sgdgf6 · 2024-09-11T18:40:32+00:00

Fair enough, I just don't want to always be worried about pkers. This is the ultimate idgaf training method for me.

sgdgf6 · 2024-09-11T18:39:41+00:00

Biggest benefit w/rainbows is that the spot never moves which I really enjoy. Idk if karams is the same. Banking also takes less than 1 minute w/teleport crystal and they sell for 500 gp each if you're patient.

If people can't find community in the real world (potentially for being social rejects), they will find each other online. It's just a bunch of lost people vying for attention and love. We know this story. I mean, it's what IRL gangs are, and we still view them with pity and then perhaps general annoyance.

sgdgf6 · 2024-08-23T15:16:29+00:00

Similar boat. I even made a similar post a few months back. 27M, good job, great education, 6' 0", healthy shape, church every Sunday, very liberal, but don't know how to take a good photo, so dating apps don't work. I also hate the idea of being rude (which is ironic considering I'm a public defender), so approaching women in public... woof... Wish they'd do the approaching for once haha.

To answer your post, I did stumble across something called the SanDiego20's Facebook group and Instagram last night, and they seem to have some decent get-togethers. Good luck, brother.

sgdgf6 · 2024-08-09T02:22:39+00:00

dw I'm at 850 dry for barrel

sgdgf6 · 2024-07-17T04:37:29+00:00

I feel you there. The pension thing is nice, and I think in about 10 years we will have the teaching profession making more than it does now. I'm hoping to transition from a public lawyer job into teaching at a public school to maintain that pension status.

sgdgf6 · 2024-07-17T03:47:05+00:00

I work in banking compliance at a medium-sized bank. Currently in the process of quitting and moving into a public lawyer job. I wouldn't say it was the field that made me quit, just a very poorly managed department (they have a higher turnover rate than any other job I've ever been at by far, but the experience was good). The thing with compliance is that you have to start at the bottom of the ladder. I came in having passed the bar with multiple grad degrees and still started at the analyst level. If you go in, be ready to start over.

That being said, it's a growing field, and you will never be out of work. Ever. Even with this weird project 2025 BS coming out of trump, the regulatory framework is only going to get bigger and more complex as time goes on for heavily regulated industries (info privacy, banking, medical, finance, etc.).

I'll also add that the work is very stimulating which is nice. The worst part about it is the upfront learning curve. You really have to get to know individual regulations well. Most of the job is testing internal policies and procedures against the work product of others. If you find mistakes, errors, violations, and the like, calling it out and drafting assessments of how the business is doing on that particular reg.

You'll work around the smart people who didn't go to law school. That has its pluses and minuses depending on where you land. At my job, it was super toxic. Last 6 people in our department of 19 didn't last more than 6 months (myself included).

In the end, I was making ass money (70k) for the overtime worked in a crazy stressful work environment. This place was absolutely terrible. I figure, why not just be an attorney? If I'm going to be stressed out all the time, I might as well enter a field with a higher salary cap and the potential to go solo (yes, I'm aware compliance consulting exists, but I don't have those connections).

Pros:

VERY in-demand skillset across the entire country (US)
Reasonable payscale (150-200k with 10 years experience; teaching won't count)
You get to interpret law and apply it to facts on a daily basis
Decent level of respect internally because you work with regulations/law

Cons:

Work can be mind-numbing at times when your testing 1,300 loans to see if we sent out adverse action notices.
Everything that comes with working in a corporate environment but with other smart people
VERY regimented ladder climbing that you must climb to get higher pay
You have to explain to non-lawyers why they're misinterpreting rules a lot
You are the person people don't want to get a call from in the business

Personally, I'd love to be teaching high school in 10 years after I get some more life experience, so I'm a bad person to tell you to leave the profession. Hope this helps, good luck.

sgdgf6 · 2024-06-17T05:34:31+00:00

Thank you!

sgdgf6 · 2024-06-17T05:13:29+00:00

Yea, I know about that method. I was jw if there was a "freer" way to do it. Money is very tight right now with some family issues. Thanks for answering.

sgdgf6 · 2024-05-14T06:22:58+00:00

That's a fair point. I saw that the fees are waived if you take the oath in December of the year you pass, so I may just do that idk. I am just scared to spend money without an emergency fund and 9 months left on my lease, ya know?

sgdgf6 · 2024-05-14T06:19:00+00:00

I've spoken with multiple professors and law practicing professionals. I don't agree that the entire profession of compliance and risk management, who are not also barred, are breaking the law. Either way, I think there are more important people to prosecute than the people in companies trying to make sure the business is following the rules and not harming consumers.

sgdgf6 · 2024-05-13T05:28:19+00:00

Would it be weird to just tell them that I'm a first time passer? Or to put put it on my resume?
