Any good book recommendations for women in business, tech or in general?

I'm planning to do my PGDM in Canada
Which College/Universities should I consider to get recruited into top consulting firms (Also the preferred courses) ?

Had a miscarriage.. it’s my 1st baby and we didn’t find out until 12 weeks (via ultrasound) that the baby passed away at 9 weeks and had to get a dnc. My body is still recovering.. Just want some hope or I guess stories of success after having a miscarriage. I do have pcos so it’s harder for me to get pregnant.. but it still happened. Anyone have any thoughts or advice? Does it get better..?

What do you think medical expenses per year are in retirement? At 45? At 65? At 85? Unsure how to budget rn

I have an interview super day coming up for a PE Ops role. Only got info that it will be 6-8 interviews, mostly fit. Two questions on my mind:
1) Anything I should prepare (other than knowing their business, portfolio companies, my life story)?
2) Apparently 1-2 convos are with folks on the deal team. Should I need to brush up on my LBO and DCF knowledge?
THX!

Anyone have experience taking Lamictal? How has it worked for you? Doc recommended starting it, but I'm afraid of the side effects (namely the rash).

Any implications on my SFH property value if a luxury high rise is going to a block away with condos starting at $1m? Houston if that matters

If anyone is looking for housing, I'm leaving my 2bed/2bath west loop loft lease early and looking for somebody to take over. Available starting March (current lease runs until June)

I work in clinical Oncology - Really would like a higher level position in management. Anyone work in this industry have any insight?

Stress is causing a massive flare-up of racing thoughts recently. I feel like it's been at least a week or two since I last was able to completely clear my mind. And if it's not random stream-of-consciousness mess, it's music. Ever had a song stuck in your head? Because I've had one for four days now. Driving me nuts. Anyone else struggle with this/have a solution?

What are the key differences between solving a real life client case vs those in case interviews? Is there a significant difference in approach/initial structure etc?

I’ve recently lost 25lbs (5’4” now at 130lbs) by eating cleaner, working out, cutting out snacking/most alcohol, and portion control. I’m now plateauing. Any recs on how to keep pushing? Ideally I’d lose another 5-10lbs so nothing too crazy but just not sure what additional changes to make

Would you date a 30 year old? If so, why?

Do you use or have you used First Command Financial Planning? If so, what’s your experience with them?

Has anyone here ever tried negotiating “at will” employment terms in the US? I’m curious what specific terms folks have asked for and how the potential employer reacted.

This week I found an app on playstation4 and Apple TV streaming called Pluto Tv. It’s free and has a bunch of old shows playing 24 / 7. Including MST3K, the Rifleman.

Feeling like my life is racing by being on the road 20 years, and saddens me that when I get home tonight my SO leaves on a business trip.

Any male 🐟 that can share the experience of starting alpha blockers? I take it at bedtime and feel like I have a head cold in the morning. Dizzy all day too.

How many of you have had to curse out our Millennial/Gen-Y friends about calling us old and inept. 

At what point does it not make sense to buy/ build a bigger home? My husband dislikes our house immensely (was his with former wife) and wants to move. Only owes $180k on it, we’ve been together 6 years and thus I’d rather just remodel. It’s the only thing we disagree about - moving or staying. He doesn’t want to invest one more cent in this house.

Any one considered doing part time Consulting engagements via Services like MBO, Catalent GLG etc. Seems like a good way to stay in the game earn some extra income but do it on an Ad hock basis.

Does anybody have any experience getting a Grandpad or Jitterbug (or similar) for an elderly relative who is not local to you? My Dad is reluctant to carry a cell phone and never uses the flip phone I got him 10 years ago but maybe if it was more basic /easier to use he would (?) I told him if he goes out walking he should be carrying one. He has a history of falling a few times a year and I want him to be able to call 911 if he needs to. I’m a plane ride away. He lives by himself. He refuses

Yesterday my younger brother called me looking for good hidden swimming spots in the mountains. He was up there with a bunch of friends and their original plans had fallen apart hard. And I go much more often than he does.

I told him I had map pins that are EXACTLY what you need for these hard to find places. I can send them in 10 mins when I get home.

Reply? Forget it, I'm all set.

Yep, 10 mins is too long. Here I was expecting "Wow! That's fantastic!" How silly of me.

My observation is that it is hard for consulting partners to land the quality public or private board roles everyone naturally targets. Despite there being a significant amount of exceptional talent that could be deployed, there is a big bias against consultants. Everyone wants “operators,” but I feel every board could also benefit from one current or former consulting partner. But sadly, that’s not the way the external world looks at things...

At this point in career, would you take a step down in title to grab a transfer opportunity and get out of a toxic work environment ?

We're aiming to live long enough to spend it all. If we die younger there is a substantial estate and only nieces and nephews. I have three topics that I'm requesting your thoughts on before I engage an attorney;

Anyone experience ageism of late?

Any thoughts on the put down, “Ok, Boomer”
