Any women (or men) go through egg freezing to keep the option of having kids later in life? 35 y.o. and starting to feel like my opportunity to have kids is slipping away quickly. Thanks for sharing..

What structural reforms to our healthcare system will/can be made to enact the public option?

E.g. Government requiring price transparency of provider chargemasters, eliminating employer-based insurance so everyone buys on the exchange, etc

Pregnant with my third child now and wondering what is the right time to tell work. I did it really early with my first two because I wanted to plan ahead, but now thinking about it, I feel like it just set me up for failure those years because I was reassigned from tasks and kept underutilized.

Best ways to create a realistic, healthy work environment?

What does your (romantic) partner do? Is there a big income disparity between the two of you?

I went to the lease this last weekend. Not one drop of alcohol was had. That was the closest I’ve come to caving. 4 wheelers, killing dinner with big guns, doing manly things in God’s country. Beer is an absolute necessity during these events. Anyhow, I didn’t drink. Proud of myself. Monumental moment for me.

My gf and me call each other everytime we have free time. However lately she seems disinterested in phone time. She never initiates calls anymore and she tells me she wants to hang up in the middle of the day and not right before bedtime. We live a 4 hour drive apart. And I told her this is like living together from a distance, because I put her on the house speakers. What can I do to keep her engaged?

Lol so I left work a little bit early yesterday to get a pedicure and when I walk into the store, I see one of the partners sitting down getting one himself. Of course, I end up sitting next to him and we end up talking about work stuff...

Anyone has good suggestions for dressing while pregnant?

One of my relatives just asked me if turmeric will defend against Covid...noooooo

Has anyone experienced difficulties with speech/thinking through taking anti-depressants or from suffering with long term depression? I first started noticing difficulties in articulating my thoughts at university and my career in consulting has only made this more prominent. I feel embarrassed, really depressed and incompetent because of this. This is one of the greatest anxieties I have regarding my performance and I find it is really effecting my development.

Planning on telling my parents about my white boyfriend this weekend…. Any tips or words or motivational words please

My relationship just ended yesterday because he wanted to “focus on myself and figure things out.” My relationship before that ended (~2 years ago) because he wanted to focus on himself. I can’t help but feel like it’s because something is wrong with me. What am I doing wrong?

Um, I feel like my BF of almost 4yrs (1 living together) and I are on the brink of separating. I think COVID is putting it into perspective. We’ve gotten through the worst of the quarantine while supporting each other as best we could (very thankful for him). But his coping skills with stress (during covid) are lacking and as things progressed he’s just been taking it out on me more and more in the moment, then he feels awful for not treating me as well as I deserve (he treated me well before..)

Any advice for my peloton on carpet? I put a wood plank and a mat but it’s still wobbly 😕

Boyfriend and I have been dating for ~1.5 years and we still only spend weekends together. I want to move in together at the 2 year mark but bf thinks it’s too soon... just feels our relationship is stagnant and not going anywhere. Any thoughts from ppl who’ve gone through similar situations?

I have an estranged relationship with my sister. I haven’t had a relationship with her in 13+ years, and haven’t even seen her in about 5 years. We had a really bad falling out and I never really carried for her as a person. But for some reason I feel an immense guilt for not wanting a relationship, simply because of this convoluted idea of family and sticking together no matter what. Anyone else have this issue? How do I go about making peace with someone I don’t want nothing to do with?

I swim most mornings before work. Great way to get the mind and body going.

Has anyone here tested positive for covid-19? What was your experience, symptoms, etc.? And if you are willing to share, what’s your age, gender, and do you have any pre-existing health conditions? I’ve seen tons of data, but just want to hear about different experiences now too from people that have had it.

How do I stop having panic attacks?

Do you share your struggles of depression and/or anxiety with your parents/family? Especially when not living with them.
Should I be? It's a lot of effort to sound ... happy or normal on the phone. But don't want to make them worry either.

Is it professional to inform your team/supervior that you have weekly appointments and need to head OOO early on a specific day? I have psy appts. now and already cancelled the previous cont'd below..

About to turn down a job offer that would nearly double my salary after speaking to several former associates of the firm and hearing some not so great things. The word “sweatshop” was used multiple times yet I am still having a hard time wrapping my head around it. This is truly “you can’t pay me enough to be part of that” in action. I am betting that I can get the same money at a place with a better culture - hopefully I am right!

A few weeks ago I sent my resume in for a PCA posting. I’m qualified for the position yet never heard anything back. Not even a confirmation that my application was received. Is there anyway to reach out about it or should I just forget it and move on?

I have an impromptu review tomorrow and am hoping to negotiate a higher salary as my role has been expanded since hired, and we have lost a designer with no intention of hiring anyone to fill the position. Hoping to get some comparable salaries to see where I stand and what to ask for.

I’m looking to hire a full time strategy director. Big agency experience. NYC based agency, but remote for the foreseeable future. Drop me a DM with you email or website if you’re interested!!

I applied for a lateral job in a growing group that doesn’t have associates yet. I talked to a sr. associate in a different office/group to get a better sense of the firm’s vibe and we both really enjoyed our call. He kindly offered to recommend an interview to HR. Is there anything else I can do? I would be switching practices altogether so I want to be as proactive as possible to know what I’m getting myself into (and make my app more favorable because I really want to break into the field).

Does anybody have experience working at Onfido?

For those that have worked at a Bulge Bracket and an Elite Boutique, I’d love to hear you compare/contrast your experiences.

I was just going through a Facebook privacy checkup and under the data privacy checkup, it says that I gave indeed access to my Facebook account because I used it to login. Should I be worried about that?

Hiya! I was wondering if anyone here has any good recommendations in terms of books or learning material that I can pick up to learn about sales and marketing relevant to the consulting industry?

Hello! Do you have recommendations for valuable, inexpensive PM certificates or courses?

I feel like the more you’re exposed to corporate life, the more you become bitter. Many nice, genuine people I met work outside this bubble. They radiate pure kindness.

A reminder to all: we are going through very difficult times. Please help someone who has gotten laid off if you can!

Would you accept a job offer with no 401k match?

I am starting a new role with a new company and will have 6 direct reports. Although I have managed teams before in a consulting project setting, this will be the first time in industry. Any recommendations on how to sharpen my management skills (books, blogs, etc). Particularly looking at how to delegate effectively and practical examples on how to run day to day.

If I just chill on the bench for long will I still only get fired at the end of the year?

We all sound so professional in our posts. Lol.

I have about 13 years experience in public sector healthcare doing program management and PMO work on systems implementation and integration projects. Which firms can I target outside big 4 for similar roles? Seems like most firms are doing only healthcare strategy work which is not my area of interest. Thanks.

Best consulting firms to target for Supply Chain & Operations Strategy apart from MBB after graduating from MIT SCM

Are there any good movies or novels that show skill development - like follow through? Self-management? Money management? I read a lot of self help books so I know a lot of the theory, and books peppered with examples help, but I feel like most 1 paragraph examples don’t five justice to how hard it may be to change a behavior.

Have you found using a standing desk increase your productivity? How else do you increase your productivity? I am so distracted all the time
