For those of you that have, what kind of things do you talk about with your therapist? What type of issues are / were you having that motivated you to speak to a therapist?

I saw mine when I was going through some tough things. Even though it was expensive, it was so worth it because I didnt want pills (personal choice). He was integral in getting me back on my feet when I was losing my shit. That said, I found a therapist that worked on weekends, so I would see him on Saturdays to fit my travel schedule.

So the therapist was for personal issues..?

Ask around. I live in nyc and EVERYONE sees one / has seen one at one point in time. (If you don't, you're the one with issues.). Ultimately it's about fit, so recommend meeting 3-5 to find one that works for you. I ultimately found that my friends did more for me than a shrink ever would, so figure out what works and doesn't - some tend to never want to "turn off" the counseling relationship, so know when you're ready to walk away.

Every weekend. My wife is a therapist

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot. It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)

What would u do? 3 YOE HCOL city and I have 2 potential options:
1) move to a boutique healthcare strategy consulting firm in a similar role as I have now (client facing consulting role).. 120-130 base + 20% bonus
2) a product specialist role at Meta (FB). This told role product management, it’s analytics heavy. $107k base, 10% bonus, $30K stock.

At the end of the day, TC for both is similar. As far as exit opportunities I’m not sure what is better, so looking to get other people’s opinions.
