Back to an almost empty gym for the first time after 18 months of at-home work outs.

Pros
- Bench press only down 20% from 2020
- Got to judge people’s gym attire again (shout out to my dude doing curls in a weight vest)
- Sick chest pump on peck deck

Cons
- No bros to share aforementioned chest pump with
- Squat down 40% since 2020
- Can’t walk rn

Interviewed recently with @VillageMD. Anyone have any insight about the remote Medical assistant positions? Preferably someone who does or did work in that type of position with this company. How was the workload? How much time is usually spent on the phone answering calls?

How is utilization calculated? What happens if we are on the bench?

Question - for anyone who received paid leave and short term disability pay from NY state, is there a tax document I should be receiving to claim that income? I received the max benefit for the full applicable period so a fair percentage of my income in 2020 came from those benefits. I received all my other W2s but nothing from the state and was wondering when or if anything would come or how I should include it.

Considering a move to NTT Data in a healthcare consulting role. Mixed reviews in the bowls. Major concerns are bench policy, staff aug roles, 2 week PTO, and high turnover due to job dissatisfaction. Recruiter and mgr had great things to say around growth and opportunity, which doesn’t align with feedback from the bowls or Glassdoor.
Understanding things have changed there in the last few months, I need un-biased advice from fellow fish who have recently joined or can speak to recent changes

I was told that Macquarie might offer a Fixed pay of 29 lpa. Can some please tell :

Has anyone considered making the move to the corporate world? I work in admin for my nonprofit right now so I make a decent amount (53k) my benefits are unbeatable. PTO & sick time PLUS self care days. Flexibility. Etc. the one thing we’re lacking is structure and honestly im burnt out and overwhelmed with my work load and I know I could be getting paid around 10-15k more for similar work. Anyone gone to corporate and regretted it? Loved it?

If I barely hit the minimum required utilization for 1st year analysts (75% for tech), can I still get a 1 or 2? Completely rocked my project but was on the bench for a bit longer than I wanted..

I've been applying to many positions and have gotten 2 interviews in the past month and a half. I have a GCP certification from NIDA and have been learning about the industry for a year now. What else should I know in order to increase my chances?

If relevant, I am in the Northeast near the NYC metropolitan area.

What's .Net fullstack bench situation in Nagarro if anybody has some insights on that? Also is the bench situation worse for a particular tech stack or is it the same across every tech stack in Nagarro?

My school deliberately cut the number of classes that the specials teachers teach so that we could be building subs for quarantined and sick teachers (we are hybrid). So... I teach fewer classes (which is a relief because specials teachers teach way more classes than core teachers normally) but I'm pulled for most of my planning periods to babysit classes. I need my planning periods so I can redo my ENTIRE curriculum... and I just feel unappreciated, used, and nothing more than a babysitter.

Hi! I’m doing some research on employee benefits (medical insurance, 401k, HSA/FSA, commuter benefits) and was hoping to connect with People specialists or HR professionals in the comp & benefits space.

How do you decide? I have anxiety especially around my career, which makes me look flighty and indecisive imo.

For example, I had an MD approach last week about a new project and ask if I'd be interested in joining... I said I'd talk to my current manager and see as I didn't want to burn bridges but I honestly just don't know. Is it a good career move? Am I interested in this?

Im just exhausted from having to make decisions. I think part of it is just wanting everyone to be happy.

If COVID has taught me anything, it’s that I don’t trust anyone to keep me safe. Especially some of you losers in the bowl who don’t have a brain and refuse to believe this virus is real

SEEKING OPINIONS & FEEDBACK: I love the honest & practical discussions here, where people can freely identify things that are going on & seek guidance.

Wondering whether anybody’d be interested in some kind of more purposeful community- i.e., gathering w/fellow lawyers to pursue some specific mental health & well-being goals? We’d provide some counseling/coaching type content, in bite sized chunks, but have regular discussions to connect & encourage one another on applying the content IRL.

Looking for some advice. I have been in the fraud industry for 7 years. I went back to school a couple of years ago and will graduate in November with a BS in Finance & Economics. I’m considering a career change from fraud to something with higher pay potential. Once I graduate. I currently make 56K a year. Any advice on what type of job to go after? I’m on board with getting certifications if that’s what it takes to raise my value/pay. Any advice would be helpful.

Do you wake up at the same time everyday? (Weekends included) I try to practice this during the week but sleep in really late in the weekend. But this ends up being counterproductive because I feel lethargic and groggy all day then 😑

I really hate cvs right now. I called Monday to switch my prescription to the pharmacy so I wouldn’t have to wait until after Christmas for the mail order. They told me it was on hold until today so I called to get the status and now they still haven’t gotten it in and they said maybe on Monday it will come. I’m trying to really hard not to cry but I’m in pain and I really needed that medication. Does anyone have any remedies to relive the migraine pain? I normally take Zomig but I’m all out.

Are standing desks really worth it ? I am contemplating on buying one but wanted to see others advice ?

For some reason I feel “bored”/“not satisfied”/bland since a few years and I’m not sure why. I took steps to alleviate it:
-I moved abroad (changed continents) last year thinking it would get me out of boredom as it is a massive change but..not really
-just changed jobs again thinking it would be exciting and but now I’m realizing it may not be the case

Any tips?
