update: i bought a neti pot and even after using it twice i feel so much better.

Idk what's going on rn with the pollen in the city but my allergies are killing me - I tried Claritin and Zyrtec which usually help but I'm still a mess.

Does a neti pot help with sneezing + watery eyes, or just the congestion?

Hi, The neti pot (and salts) opens up both sides of my nose and feels comforting. i feel human again after. i use filtered water, and boil it for at least ten minutes before adding to the neti pot. then cool it for about twenty minutes. i like it warm enough to be soothing, but not scalding.

i do it three x/day. plus spray inside my nose w “Woodstock Sinus Nasal wash” a few times a day.

Also drink 1TB of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water to thin the mucus (gross, but it works) 3x/day.

And oreganol drops in water a few times a day.

Around 9pm I am super stuffed up, so I take 600mg of Advil/IBU and it opens my sinuses so I can breathe through my nose and sleep.

The good news is, I’m unemployed and have time to do all that. (sarcasm)

I use a combination of H1 and H2 inhibitors which use two different pathways to combat allergies. You need both for systemic treatment. I know it's not widely known but you can Google H1 and H2 allergy treatments.
This is what I take
H1: Oral; Xyzal, Zyrtec, Cyproheptadine and Singulair (momtenuklast). Nasal; Flonase, Zicam. For eyes; Lastacraft, ivizia. I usually take everything twice a day, but you can take them only in the evening if they make you drowsy. By the morning, it's still in your system, but you don't feel any drowsiness. The nasal and eye treatments I keep on me at all times, just in case.
Also, Zyrtec and Xyzal can be found cheaper on Amazon in generic form. Cyproheptadine and Singulair are prescription only.
H2 Inhibitors; famotidine, HISTAsolv (diamine oxidase)

I'm an investment banker and in late stages of a couple CorpDev roles of Fortune 200 companies. Both roles report to Head of CorpDev. I would be interested to understand the typical career progression. Assuming Head of CorpDev will stay in position for the next 5-10 years, what is the expectation of upward mobility then? Is it more common to progress through jumping around to different companies?

Hey Fishes,
Been working at D India as a Manager (Not USI) for past few months.

2. They've started mentioning Bonus, Gratuity amount etc in offer letter
3. Work life balance depends on Project and managers you work with
4. Inside opportunities if you're the creamy layer
