Anybody having difficulty getting medical experts to respond lately? Even in non-covid practice areas?

On the news, there was a report that "stress" causes negative health effects. Um. OK. Don't people feel "stress" just by being alive? Like, what would be the control group that you could measure the results against? I don't know why, but it always makes me wonder

Is Friday scaries a thing? I slept last night already dreading Monday morning. It’s Saturday and I can’t enjoy the time I usually have to myself. I feel like I have to start working now so (cont.)

Maybe this is the socialist in me but shouldn’t Moderna and Pfizer waive their patent exclusivity for their Covid vaccines? Don’t we have a moral obligation for the world to vaccinate as many people as quickly as possible?

It blows my mind that many countries won’t be able to vaccinate most of their people until 2023. There should be access to vaccine generics

Any openly T fish here? Or non binary fish that have undergone FTM top surgery?

Can anyone recommend an endocrinologist? Specifically for Hashimotos. Thanks in advance

Best hotel in NYC with a decent gym?

Those of you that love your job, where do you work? I’ll start - I have a part time job at a medical cannabis dispensary and love it - I finally feel like I’m really helping people.

With this crazy sickness going around what medication is everyone taking? It’s been a month since the cold and cough entered my house and it’s still here.

I had an interview last week and waiting is raising my anxiety. I am on anxiety medications and it doesn’t seem to help. I don’t know why I am getting anxious as I already know I can not control the

Ordered a shroom grow kit and two kinds of spores. I've never taken them and always wanted to. Let's see if they do anything to rewire the brain like some people say!

I’m behind on my IG game & want to catch up. I went to a few events before COVID that I want to share but feel weird posting it now. Do I put throwbackthursday or beforeCOVID hashtags? Something else?

How many of you actually want to go back to the office - and will take a Covid test before going in? Anyone gearing up to do that this week?

I’m 6 month pregnant with a good amount of lower back pain that gets worse with standing and walking. Insanely, I’d like to take my 2 older kids to Disney before the new baby arrives. Has anyone been to Disney Land (CA) and Disney World (FL)? I’m curious if Disney Land being smaller would be less walking and possibly a better option.

Thank you FB family. After a two year hunt for the right opportunity, I am happy to announce that I have accepted an offer at FAANG (TC - 280) . The road wasn’t easy especially the last 2 months. I took the interview overseas (basically 2am - 3 am calls), was recovering from a surgery and finally contracted covid. I got some good advice from folks over here CONTD...

Does Next Gen issue a formal report for PGS testing results? I had my embryos tested and my clinic just told me which were normal and abnormal. No other info on embryos ratings, etc. they could have not even sent it in for all I know!
Also, how involved are you REs? I’ve been through 2 retrievals now, but feel kinda in the dark still on a lot of things. Some of the nurses are hit or miss and if I want to talk to my doctor I have to schedule a consultation and its typically a 2 week wait.

I am so sick and fed up with some of the older clients at my job. I know it's my responsibility to take care of them, but they're just so sexist sometimes.

Hey! I'm a current CMA who has decided that medicine is not for me after a year of working in the field out of undergrad. What are the first steps for me to break into this career path (outside of the general case prep)? I'm from a T10 undergrad and have research/medical assistant training

I am beyond stuck in my first 1.5 years of my career.

I was over promised opportunities at my first gig and then Covid hit. Leading me to have no portfolio worthy pieces from this 💩 agency with nothing great in sight. (place hasn’t won a pitch in my entire time here + lost clients)

I’m juggling re-vamping my site and a side project to hopefully make my book more robust.

With no kind of leadership or mentor, I’m just figuring out how to dig myself out of this hole. Any advice for this chump?

What do you think of today’s (6/9) IBM major worldwide Cloud outage? Could it be related to the recent major layoffs?

Hi guys, should I buy lumpsump for coffee can investing or do SIP ? And one more question if you guys can help . At what point let say I hold a coffee can stock when should I exit. I am planning to hold for 10 years but how do I know that this stock is not relevant now or some red flag I should exit .

Any insights on Laughlin Constable? Looks like they’re hiring in the creative department 👀

Anyone know much about Simon-Kucher? I have an offer for SC there for $125k base with all-in TC for the year expected $165-175k. Currently a CO with 3-4 YOE, and considering making the move. I think CO at my firm is the equivalent to SC at B4

Making about $103k base now, so not sure if I should hold out for better

Are trails, beaches, and other outdoor activities still open? Is it possible that they could close due to Covid?

Damn I miss my life before the pandemics (the home office part can stay, though).

Best experiential/activation agency?

Job transition question: I recently accepted an offer for a new role with Merrill Lynch, the following day I was fired from my previous employer. I haven’t filled out the updated work history background check info yet. The reason for termination was due to performance expectations not being met. Should I reach out to my new employer and let them know that I’ve been terminated? Should I just put the termination update on the background check form and leave it at that? Wondering what I should do.

Deloitte folks, I need help. I saw a job posting for life science strategy manager. This would be a lane change from my current role as clinical manager. I have a PhD in biology and would love to break into consulting. But not sure how.

Acronym NYC was a nightmare to try to get feedback/move the process along

Had interviews at three different places recently, all of which seemed to go well. Recruiters/HR people told me they’d be in touch with next steps end of last week or early this week. Haven’t heard from any of the three and none of them have responded to follow-up emails 🙃

Is finding a Generalist position for more than 50k but with me having less than 7 years of HR experience reasonable? Is a generalist position the best next step to get more experience? I have a masters in HR and my SHRM-CP certification. Any advice on upward moving in the industry is welcomed. Thanks in advanced

I hate it when people try to bond with me over trauma when their trauma is that they fight a lot with their spouse or they didn’t get the promotion they wanted. How is that staring death in the face??

What states are represented in this bowl? I’m from Indiana.

Anyone else feel busier than before? I’m thankful for the job security in med mal, but would also like a little break to deal with everything going on.

Anyone go from med mal lawyer to claims specialist at med mal insurer? Pros/cons of that kind of move?

Yep.I started this bowl hoping to find others to chat. I’m strictly a plaintiffs’ lawyer,but didn’t mean for the conversation to be limited.There is a separate Plaintiffs Medical Malpractice bowl too.

Is there anybody out there?

I've been working for a plaintiffs personal injury attorney for 4 years. I just accepted a job working for the defense for medical malpractice. My current employer told me I'm going over to the dark side. Is that true? Am I selling my soul for defending doctors?
