Anyone here can share experience with dating/relationships and weight-gain? I am not obese, but definitely overweight. I lead a relatively healthy life but know I can do more. However, I find that my weight keeps me from socializing, meeting new people and dating. How can I improve my self-esteem?

What's your favorite electronic health record? We have Cerner and while I like it- I've heard better things about other EMRs.

So I'm winding down a three-month LOA for my mental health and burnout. It took a month to feel semi-normal; new meds, new routines, and therapy. Now that I'm closing in on my return date, I feel as though I've made no progress at all. The feeling of dread in dealing with the job is starting to overwhelm me again, and I feel hopeless. I have discussed the mid-career crisis aspect and think I'm still there, I just do not care about the job anymore.

How do you guys deal with just the really bad days? One small thing happens and it seems as if everything is terrible. I have bad anxiety and suck at compartmentalizing everything. Would love advice.

Just how bad would it be to quit without a two week notice? I’ve been bait & switched into a horrible role, overworked to the point of having medical problems, and no amount of diplomatic talks with my manager has improved the day to day. My mental health and my personal relationships have been on a steady decline.

I don’t have another job lined up yet. But I’m danger close to quitting and taking my chances with freelance. Could it be worth it?

Will EY let me transfer offices during this COVID-19 craziness? Trying to transfer from SF to LA

The latest Democratic narrative is quite cute: Trump purposely gets COVID, to get cured by some magic potion not available to the public, to come back an American hero so he can get sympathy votes. Yo, you guys listen to yourself? Like pause and reflect. This is not going to end well for the left in November man

Moving from T2 to McKinsey. How do vacation requests work? I have family and friends getting married this fall in weddings delayed because of covid, but I’ll just have started so wanted to get a sense of how realistic taking vacation this fall would be and how to approach taking it (e.g. mention to HR, staffing). TIA!

Well, what do we think, are we lifting covid restrictions next week?

Anyone move from consulting to sales and enjoy it? Strongly considering

Just found out that my favorite aunt, who claimed I was her “favorite” niece, chose to leave all her valuables to her other two nieces who never visited or called her once in the last ten years. My aunt passed away suffering from cancer last year and didn’t have her own kids. I was there by her side throughout her battle. I still wish I had done more, made her life easier. I probably sound petty, but a part of me is forcing me to re-evaluate every interaction I ever had with her.

What other careers do you catch yourself daydreaming about? I, for one, would have loved acting as I loved theater throughout my life but alas fate had other plans. What's yours?

To those at V25 firms, how do you view your London office in terms of the quality of work we get and overall importance to the firm? Like is there a perception of us being a step down or ancillary to the big leagues of NYC or not? There’s generally a perception here that L&W and K&E are the only US firms where London can even begin to compete with stateside in terms of generating l work organically but would be interesting to know what you all think? Be brutally honest.

I laugh during awkward situations. The other day someone called me out on laughing. It was awkward.

Copywriters, what are your main responsibilities on a shoot? I haven’t worked on many and am never sure if I’m being helpful enough. I’m always ready to do rewrites on the spot if need be, but don’t know if there’s anything else I should be helping the team with on set.

Funny how Top Gun had a diverse group of actors, (race/gender) etc; (Female fighter pilot, Black supporting actor, Asians in the test pilot squadrons etc;)

Is Trump saying that he’s innocent and therefore so is Brett Kavanaugh really a good strategy?

Why didn’t 300k soldiers stand up and fight the Taliban at all? Like literally they almost all just surrendered immediately. I’m almost thinking that the Afghanistan army already cut a deal with Taliban since the States decided to pull out of Afghanistan

A certain SVP is spamming the bowl about “Trump dues”. If you feel that this is a) clever b) funny c) contributes to the discussion at hand d) any combination of the above, you’d be wrong. A quick search shows at least 12 mentions of “Trump dues” by SVP in the last two hours.

P.s. I don’t know what industry SVP works in, but it sure isn’t finance or accounting because he doesn’t seem to understand the concept that large term loans can be (and usually are) settled by the issuance of a new loan.

Hi all - just joined the bowl and planning on voting this Nov for first time. Not a Trump fan but not trying be biased as well. Can both sides explain to me the reason why people should keep trump for another year vs a new president? Thanks

Are there any conservatives like me left anymore? The ones who are pro-democracy, pro checks and balances in governance, support liberal markets, have a global outlook that reinforces the soft power we’ve projected abroad for 70 years?

All there’s left of my party is a collection of vacuous bumper sticker slogans like ‘lock her up’, peddling conspiracy theories, and chest-thumping support for ‘law and order’ — without actually respecting the law, norms of governance and our institutions.
