Bored in NYC! I know this sounds absurd but I grew up here and feel like I’ve run out of things to do. Don’t care for boozy brunches or fancy dinners. Looking for fun weekend hobbies for consultant

Or try being a vegan. You don’t even need to eat vegan food to be a vegan, just gotta tell people you’ve been vegan for a few months now.

Pick up a musical instrument or try video games.

Join a reading club

I’m gonna ignore what you said in the second half of your post since it went downhill quickly. But I would just challenge yourself for one month to go out every weekend, without going out to eat or drink. Go to shows, exhibits, sporting events, concerts, talks, museums, jazz clubs, dance clubs, strip clubs, fight clubs, poetry slams, coffee tastings, fashion shows, car shows, rodeo etc.

Good point I just discovered the stripe club a few blocks away has no cover before 6.

Continued.. I’m married but find myself just causally strolling through neighborhoods on the weekends. Sometimes we go to Hudson / Catskills / Long Island for longer day and weekend trips.

Have been considering buying a weekend home upstate, a boat or race car for tracking to have more action in my life but not sure if this would be a good idea after doing the $ math.
Would joining a private club (country club or NYAC) help? Looking to change my lifestyle a bit to be more fun, social and active. I feel like bankers have a more action packed weekend because they value their time more since they work more weekends than us.

I work at st Christopher’s hospital for children in Philadelphia PA. And RD starting salary is $61,000. I think this is very poor for having a specialty and going thru 5-8 years of schooling with 3.5 years experience. The hospital also did not give the clinical nutrition department a bonus because we aren’t considered direct patient care?? We are 100% direct patient care on the floors and every unit. Thoughts on this for any fellow RDs?

So I had an interview with a company (3 rounds actually) which went pretty well. I even rearranged my schedule for last minute interviews because it’s the job that I really want. My recruiter said that they all love me & even wanted me to speak to the CEO. Then they needed a few days to speak with another candidate. After a few days, I was told that they needed another day because the other candidate couldn’t interview with the department lead. I’m really worried now. How should I take this?
