IUI, is it worth it or skip and go straight to IVF?

My wife and I are starting a first cycle of IVF. Given how expensive IVF is/can be, wondering if anyone has lessons learned on the insurance front—understanding it varies by plan, of course. We’re currently enrolled in HDHP w/ HSA, and have nurse consult tomorrow discuss financials among other things. Still in open enrollment, which is great timing. Thanks all. Staying hopeful.

Starting IVF in a month - any guidance in prep for it, things that may help increase success for egg retrieval or anything like that? I started taking supplements advised by my doctor, but curious to hear of anything else! Thank you SO much!

My mental health has suffered tremendously over the past month. I have a therapist that I probably should see more of but I’m jobless and need to save. I am an aspiring entrepreneur with an inspiring business idea (to me lol) but my anxiety and depression is hindering me severely… fuck my brain. Any other founders here? It’s f‘ing tough.

Seems that the vaccine that usually takes more than 10 years to develop, test for side effects and go through the regulation process is being very fast tracked to roll out - which is a super great thing to potentially eradicate the virus. on the other side of the spectrum, people with life sciences n healthcare insights, how reliable and safe would you say vaccine (being fast tracked) is...?

Wow. This may be the first time in history that the President of the United States is poorer than the average person. Hope he keeps food stamps and the ACA intact since he looks like he’ll be needing them soon

Hey guys, all jokes aside, how does everyone have a life besides work in this industry? Weekdays I work and sleep, and I’ve worked most weekends. I’ve canceled so many plans and haven’t seen friends..

The sudden death of a friend has made me realize that my obsession with goals has caused me to miss out on so much of my life. How can I learn to refocus and make time for the people in my life?

Why do we always tell people “Be the best version of yourself before starting a relationship?”
I feel this is wrong…first, if you’re someone who constantly wants to be better, this doesn’t work. Also, what happens when you’re going through things and you’re not the best version? What happens is…the going gets tough and then one person leaves the other.

Anyone available for fit prep tomorrow at 5 pm est?

Any tips on a step by step game plan for finding a new job as an associate ASAPPP?

When applying for a job, what is the strategy when a firm asks you for your compensation requirements? I don’t want to be unrealistic, but I don’t want to sell myself short either.

For those who work in Agencies, how do you accurately identify the work capacity of your Account Management team? I’m currently comparing against account billable/number of accounts, however, there are still discrepancies. I layer on time tracking, but smaller billable accounts will sometimes be just as demanding as larger billable accounts which create profitability issues.

I’ve never worked at a firm, only public interest and have no idea how to do billable hours.

Does anyone else get super emotional when ending a trip? I’ve been working remote in a place for quite some time and leave soon. I find myself constantly on the brink of tears. What is wrong with me lol

My wife just keeps getting fatter. We've talked about it, she's acknowledged it but just keeps eating bad food. I'm so done. Health is something I'm not willing to sacrifice.

Just MD things: putting the entire email ask in the subject line, and writing “see title” in the body. Signed with “sent using Apple Watch”. 🙄

This is the second Four Points I've stayed in that has "Never Gonna Give You Up" on the lobby music playlist #rickrolledagain

Last night I was asked why I left PwC by PwC folks and I responded "because PwC is shit". 🤦🏾‍♀️ And that was before any alcohol touched my lips. Anyone else have awkward dinner convo stories?

I wish I could get pregnant, so I can go on a maternity leave from public accounting

Flying Southwest. An add at the entrance of the plane says: "anybody can fly you, but we do it with a smile". Scaryyyy. Are they letting any smily person fly us? Hahah

Hey all, new hire here! Going to receive a $250 wfh credit; any recs on what I should get to build out my home office?

Alright, fishies, let’s try this again. Name drop boutique firms that have offices in San Francisco Bay Area. Big 4 is not my future (as many many MANY of you have repeatedly said I’m not good enough for). So, I’m taking the hint and crossing MBB and Big 4 off my list but still hoping a smaller firm will consider me.

Any book recommendations on handling office politics?
