Anybody get a workout or run in the morning before work?

I start at 8am so I have to get up around 6am to get a run in but it is so hard to commit to it.

I have been finding a number of providers that are in-network (UHC) but the surgery centers are out of network and I was told that I have to use in-network. Has anyone else encountered this problem? I'm not seeing how much use the benefit is when the most expensive part is out of network.

“I’m not trying to call anyone a Neanderthal, but those guys are measuring with a measure tape so I’m sure they’ll be okay if it’s 0.01 inches off calibration.”

Anyone know where I can do walk-up COVID test around Lakeview/Lincoln Park? CVS wouldn’t let me sched bc I have no symptoms but want to get tested as I was just out of state and have to see family

Have any of you ever used the short term disability option, long term disability, FMLA etc. to handle the time/stress of fertility treatments or related issues such as pcos or endometriosis? Would love to talk to you to get insight.

Which insurance network is better in Philly? Open enrollment season and Deloitte is now offering HDHP plans from 3 providers, UHC, Aetna, and Anthem. Not sure how to choose.

I am moving to Bangalore the next weekend, by 17th July. Seems there is a slight increase in Covid cases, would it be better to come now or should I ask my manager to allow me to come to office after some weeks once everything seems fine?

When traveling does anyone else struggle to get motivated to use the gym and eat healthy? How do you over come this?

I think it's easy to blame the increasing rates of COVID-19 in the community on people not wearing masks. Personally, I blame it on the glaring failure of the federal and state government and the public health system in the USA.

My spouse is in better shape and is healthier than me. Can anyone relate? Does this bother anyone? I’ve tried so hard to look better but my emotional toll is working overtime. I weigh more than my husband by 10 lbs.

How do you deal with PTSD from deployment?

I’ve been at the same salary for years. Due for a bump. Been told by recruiters lately that “even NY and LA aren’t paying that!” I know we’re all hurtin’ but some places are healthy still right?

Started vyvance. I’m eating a lot, super hydrated, no caffeine and I still feel super weird. I’m calm and my brain feels great but physically my eyes are soo dry and my body just feels disassociated. It’s only been three days. Does this pass?

So with possibly three vaccines arriving by January, what do we think? When does life return to normal?

When can I complain at the pub on a Friday about a physical meeting that went terribly?

When can I be socially anxious at an award show again?

Facing problems with working memory and long term memory while you did good previously. Any supplements/ therapy for memory retention and increasing listening absorbing skills?

One of the worst parental insurance plans. 30% co-pay and that too on such high premium.

Thinking of getting a peloton. Anyone actually experience weight loss and overall health improvement from having one?

I make excuses for not going to the gym and the number 1 being convenience so I figure if it’s in my actual home then I have no excuses!

Be nice, thanks! 😊

Ok. I am teaching music in person and when we have a case of COVID in the school, I push into the classroom for 10 days. Are there music websites that are free that I can go to for quick lessons when I’m asked to teach in the classroom. I was told today with 5 minutes to prepare that we had a case, I couldn’t teach in my room and I couldn’t do the ukulele unit I had planned. I had to think on the fly and quickly came up with a BrainPop for them. I’d like to find a few more music sites.

Feeling so meh lately about what the meaning of life is. Am I just supposed to wake up, try to workout, work forever, try to eat healthy and try to budget/save in my personal life. feeling very....

IFS rocks!! Missing my PwC peeps! 😢 😊 Wish you all a happy 2020!

Do firms typically share closing binders on M&A deals? Putting one together and an associate on the other side offered to share theirs whenever I asked for a particular document that I was missing. Is it an insult that I had to get them to give me theirs?

What do I do if I’ve only worked one job (the one I’m currently at) and another company is asking for references? I could do professors from college but not sure if that’s a good idea. I wish I could give my current manager’s contact but I don’t want her knowing :/

How do I get a job as a Mechanical Engineer if I dont have experience?

I couldn’t get an internship while in school. I have a BS in ME and projects from school under my belt. I’ve also passed the FE exam. I’ve been mostly just doing CAD for a company for the last year by creating minimally dimensioned drawings and moving parts around in assemblies. I want to evolve in my career and be doing more. I worked so hard to earn my degree and I feel like I’m not even using it. But who will hire me?

Insight about knowledge specialist roles at Bain? TC + relationship to associates would be helpful to know

How difficult is it to switch from civil engineering to electrical engineering?

How many different employers does an average engineer end up working for in their lifetime?

I love my job and the people I work with, but lately I've been feeling like everyone else has more flexibility in their schedules than I do. How do you find time for yourself when there's so many meetings?

Do you ever find that you talk to people outside of engineering about your job and they have no idea what you're talking about?

are there any engineering fields that you can get an online degree in?

Engineering influencers to follow?

The hours I’m working right now to meet a deadline are extreme, I’m only getting a few hours of sleep a night. How do you keep yourself alert during that final push?

How long did it take you to lose interest in your job?

Curious about what kind of hobbies other engineers have, personally I love knitting in my free time

What you didn't know about engineering...

I was just asked to relocate to a different city. The move will come with a raise and promotion, but I'm conflicted. I enjoy where I live right now and I like being close to my family. Would love some advice.

People who work in any engineering capacity are usually very hardworking but it's not just because we have to be, it's also that we find this stuff really fascinating, kind of like a book you can't put down

I currently working as project coordinator (on-site) for 3 months 10hrs everyday with package $75k, I want to move to remote or hybrid work but I only have 8 months of experience from my previous employer and I have completed my master's in construction management in 2021. Should I stay in my role a bit longer to gain experience or I am not able to find remote or hybrid matching my profile. Your advice and comments are much appreciated.

Have you ever regretted taking a manager role? The pay increase is tempting but I just love my job so much I’m not sure if it’s worth giving it up

I just got a new job, but it's not what I expected. I was expecting a career opportunity and a chance to learn and grow in my field, but instead I'm stuck doing the same thing as before, just from home.

Is it worth pursuing a management position coming from being an engineer? What is your opinion on trying to go this route?

I don't know if anyone can answer this. But how much do most civil engineers make? There are so many conflicting reports about "overpaid consultants" and it's almost impossible to get an actual answer

I need advice.
I work at an manufacturing company as a technician. My job title is a technician but they use me as an engineer as-well. There are three techs overall in the company. My boss who hired me understands what my degree is in so he uses me to design parts and write reports. The plant manager doesn’t know my skills so anytime I’m in the office working he calls me to the floor to do something the other techs can do. Should I have a talk with the boss about it? (I ran out of characters)

What is one piece of advice you would give someone considering engineering?
