Apple Watch owners…⌚️
Im getting into swimming and I’m like OCD about my watch tracking my workout as accurate as possible (even if it’s not the most accurate 🤷🏻‍♀️). I used the open swim for the first time yesterday and one down is 25 yds but one full lap is 50 yds and regardless I don’t think it tracked my swim accurately. Is there a trick? Lol I input 25 yds as a lap but maybe I needed to put 50? Silly little thing but it’ll drive me crazy haha

I’ve lost 70 pounds since the beginning of COVID (March 2020)! So proud of myself! I’ve never felt this great, physically and mentally!

Is anyone familiar with a theory that covid tests are poison? We have a family member that won’t even test because she believes the nasal swap is dangerous and infected with something. She is the only one I’ve heard this theory from and am wondering what she’s talking about.

I have tried to pinpoint what I am feeling or not feeling at work. I have come to think that the JOY is somewhat lacking with everything that is going on. I still love my job and the interactions with the students, but all the sickness, fear, and death that has happened over the past 2 years has taken a toll.

Does anyone else think this?

Who here lifts heavy ass weights ??

I'm addicted to orange tic tacs. Also, if you buy the multi-flavor tic tacs, you're a psychopath.

Ok keto crew. Keto is all well and good in the week & can make it fit my life well, but I struggle so bad at the weekends going out. Do you all really not drink? If you do, what do you have?

Anyone else still gets impostor syndrome (even with several years experience in software engineering)? Any tips you use to overcome it?

Does anyone else get massive bruises after lifting? Not from scraping shins against the bar or anything but just popping blood vessels from a heavy set. I always thought this was pretty normal but some people seem really freaked out by it.

What would you do or give to work on a COVID vax/therapy?! Me, I’d be willing to work at a lower daily/hourly rates to be part of the solution.

I'm new to NJ and don't have dental insurance. Need to see a dentist for mind-numbing tooth ache. Can anyone recommend a dentist who's is affordable for people without insurance? Please help!
Thank you.

Has anyone been able to get pregnant/have a healthy pregnancy with mild uterine prolapse?

Getting into Pilates this year. For those who do Pilates, do y’all like it? Do you do any other exercises during the week?

Wanted to share some positivity!

I gained 25 lbs throughout 2020 & 2021. In Jan 2022, had a goal to get back in shape.

Beginning in April, after a combo of fasting, intuitive eating, hitting the gym 4-5x/week, going thru a short cutting phase, weight training at 85-100% & slowly building back up to 5k steps daily, I lost 20 lbs in 6 months (end of Sept)!

I am struggling to spend the time to study for the PHR. I have everything I need, but I feel exhausted from the work week every weekend. I’m looking to take it in August.. help? What do I do?

Hi people. I have availed enhanced health insurance coverage offered by EY GDS.

Some amount was cut under 'Insurance Deduction' in April and nothing in May and June. In July and August, they have deducted amount under 'Insurance Topup Deduction' and some amount under 'Insurance Deduction Others' with no explanation whatsoever! No tax exemption is also provided for senior citizens.

Any idea folks? Also, whom should we reach out to for such queries?

Can one suddenly be diagnosed with PCOS. I had regular periods till end of last year. I had a miscarriage last May and then tried IUIs and harmone injected timed intercourses, with no success. Contd

I feel so bad. Almost 30..pcos/no ovulation/high testost/anovulatory/cysts. Lean but unhealthy. I’m talking low iron (14 I found out today),low all vitamins, prediabetic..phew! Taking metformin and progesterone to start my period again 🤓 It’s no wonder I’m not under the earth but self-care is so important. Hoping for 👶🏽 results with my RE once she helps me get my act together 🥺

Any brand suggestions for collagen supplements? Searching for anything on amazon is so overwhelming these days!! TIA

What are the most interesting exits you've seen within healthcare / LS? (Non big pharma/biotech unless really unique roles, e.g. maybe to lead a CSR program)

Really love exercise/ lifting but already feel the routine starting to slip with work. Any insight on what works? Looking to go far beyond walking during meetings and having a standing desk lol

Every time I hear golden hour I think of golden showers 🙉

What was your biggest shock or piece of information about working in corporate you learned after working in corporate?

Anyone know what a reasonable salary range for a new PhD grad (no direct experience) would be for a UXR position? Mid-sized US tech company but working in Canada, if that helps.

Hi,

Got an offer in FDD senior1 in EY, coming from audit in another B4. What’s the range that FDD seniors make and is there room to negotiate? In Chicago but curious to hear other cities too

The job search is so nerve wrecking.

Does anyone work for Amazon warehouse as a second job?

At what point in my career would my public accounting salary exceed an industry salary? Current an A3 making 54,900. In industry it looks like Senior is at 75,000. Assuming 12% annual raises in public and 3% annual in industry, it looks like maybe it wouldn’t take too long. I’ve heard industry raises are nowhere near what they are in public. Really looking for a discussion here. In industry, it almost seems like they tempt you with a big starting salary, but then soon you’ll be under public.

Hi people,
I’m in EY FSO SALT tax for 4 years, now thinking a good exit opportunity for higher pay. Any ideas? What’s salary range for it? I’m in NYC. Thank you so much!

I'm glad people can order things online and get them the next day; but it makes my job harder because a lot of the people in my company don't see that we just don't have the infrastructure for that kind of operation, so they need to order it BEFORE they need it the next day

Seem right? Or on the lower end?

Do you go see your parents when they are getting surgery?
I've never been afraid of surgery before and my dad's had a bunch (from military). He lives a few states away but I usually get to see him quite often. He's only in his 40s and my mom is with him. The surgery he's about to have is considered high risk. I'm not worried or anything, but it's it customary to go see them when they're having a major surgery? He'll be in-patient for at least a week. Sounds I go after and help my mom? WWYD?

Just so grateful for this bowl and people sharing their comp transparently 🙏💗

Because of Fishbowl I ...1) realized I was being underpaid 2) negotiated a 20K increase.

Don't think I would have done anything if it wasn't for this community

Hi y’all,
I shared an intermediate workout program (Back/Legs/Arms&Shoulders/Leg/Chest split) with a few friends the other day and figured I could also share it with others if interested.

It’s a program I follow outside of my 12-16 training block preps, and if anyone wants, I can share it with them. It’s for strength training.

Also happy to explain what any of the exercises are if someone wants the workouts and doesn’t know the benefit or how to do them.

Feel free to DM me about it

Cheers
