Food has been my no. 1 source of self soothing / de-stressing over the years and now trying to find alternatives when anxious or stressed. For those who have tried this, what has worked for you? Thank you🙏🏽

When does the pain go away after a hysteroscopy and HSG? I’m 30 hours past and still in quite a bit of pain on either side of my abdomen.

Salam, Ramadan Mubarak! Anyone trying to maintain some level of strength training during Ramadan? I know it’s ideal to lift after iftar (maybe after dates/water + magrib and before dinner) but wonder if it is doable to squeeze in a 30-40 min training session right before iftar (for time saving purposes)?

Can anyone recommend a good book/materials to prep for the CIPP/CIPM? 🙏🏽

Remember how you didn’t buy the dip when Covid started in March 2020 and always regretted it?

Well… chances are that you won’t buy into this dip either. I guess that’s just how we are…

New job exhaustion? I started a new consulting job on Monday and I’m mentally and physically exhausted- not from work but from the newness. Any tips? I’m embarrassed about this and surprised im not more motivated to impress

MBA admit here and have to put down a deposit soon, having serious cold feet right now due to the covid situation and potentially having to start virtually. Would love any perspective on how it's been particularly socially and what your schools' outlook on the fall is

I’m severely depressed, I’m genuinely struggling with a lot. I have suicidal thoughts everyday and am isolated. I have no friends too, is there anyone here who is down to chat for sometime ?

I'm on the verge of a panic attack. help

Hey everybody! If anyone is interested in joining a rugby club(mens and womens leagues) let me know. We just kicked off the fall season. It’s a great way to make friends and get a really good workout in.

Health question: How to deal with chronic back pain? I may have a herniated disc and wondering if surgery is a viable option. I hate being restricted actively and constantly reinjuring myself.

Anyone take SHRM? How many hours did you study?

What are peoples thoughts on lockdown? Seems weird that it is likely to continue beyond April given all vulnerable will have had at least their first vaccine by then

Got a panic attack for the first time yesterday. How to handle these situations?

I am in the process of IVF due to my husband's male factor infertility. I am so grateful for the benefits that EY provides and wanted to know if there is any consideration for reevaluating those benefits? We know that IVF is incredibly expensive and for some of us, having children is a top priority. Does anyone know where or how we can petition for enhanced or shared benefits? I have ideas.

Hi all,

I just got a job with Delta airlines and I had an accomodation request to work remotely as I am Immunocompromised. I provided all the neccesary documents to back up my request and letters and documents from my Dr. aswell. My request was denied because the team said they wanted me to have face time and one on one interactions with people from other team (which defeats the purpose of my request) because I have to limit those interactions to reduce the risk of infection. What do I do?

Friendly reminder with flu season right around the corner: please cover your mouth or stay home!

Do you all feel that the Health Insurance choice is actually all the same? The coverage is absolutely copy and paste for Bronze to Platinum and the deductible/copay is very similar.
I just don’t understand why we have the illusion of “choice” if the offer is the same and it is really bad (in our case).
Going from $61 per paycheck for 2.5k deductible 75% copay to $500+ per paycheck with 500 deductible 85% copay.
Other firms have better health insurance?

IQVIA new joiners, which iPhone are they giving you? I'm bored of the age old iPhone 7 I am currently using here.

Any thoughts on 30th and 7th as an area? Had to do a virtual tour of a future apartment that I liked but can’t get a sense of the vibe. Trade off is More room + newer finishings at the expense of living in a hip residential neighborhood. Any red flags?

Sometimes I don't uphold the company mission 😱

I need to know what is the role of a semi senior software engineer At Globant?

Has anyone actually received their reimbursement for filing taxes in multiple states? I got told that it would process with payroll last Friday but I don’t see it in my bank.

Anyone know what ASUG Talent Hub is using to source consultants?

Honest advice please - do you enjoy this work, and why?

I currently work in commercial banking and have been contemplating the switch to private credit / direct lending. Right now I’m struggling with where we are in the economic cycle as I feel private credit is less secure in downturns but would give me more career upside. Wondering if anyone else has dealt with a similar situation/has any advice?

How do you deal with students that say they don’t know what to do after you have repeated the directions multiple times?

AT&T: HBO-MAX is probably top 3 stream platforms along with netflix and disney plus. Despite this AT&T trades at a super low multiple. Is this the next glow-up a la Disney this past month? I think so. They've already got an extensive library and have consistently over 20 years delivered the best shows on TV, period. I understand that the core AT&T business may seem like a "liability" to the valuation but I still think that their valuation doesn't make sense. What am I missing?

Any recommendations for residential areas/ accommodations close to EY london office? Hate to commute🫠 starting soon!

Hello! Would someone here be willing to provide a referral to Prudential Financial?

I just hit my lean fire number but am hesitating to pull the trigger, so was hoping to run it by people smarter than me:

- I have a few rentals that bring in ~$1800/mo cash flow, taxes are negligible, Capex incl.
- My paper assets will bring in ~$1200/mo at 3% draw
- I get free Healthcare at the VA
- No plans on kids
- My expenses haven't topped $30k/yr ever
- I could always reenter the workforce if needed (albeit probably not in consulting)

Please point out the flaws here, what am I missing?

Anyone use magnetic earrings to promote lymph flow? Notice any effects or have any info to share on that topic?

What is the trick to developing a new habit? I had to change up my nighttime routine back in may and I still hate it/have to force myself to do all the steps so I don't deal with the negative results for a week.

Needless to say, that makes me feel like crap about trying to get back to daily workouts.

I’m about 10 pounds heavier than I was in college 3 years ago, but I have defined ab muscles and better endurance/strength than ever before. But I can’t help thinking I still feel a little chubby in

Is it true that most personal trainers at commercial gyms aren’t great? Or is that a misconception? I’ve heard this from a few people and I’ve also had a couple bad experiences.

FWIW, I’m about to join a gym (either chelsea piers fitness or crunch fitness) and looking to get a PT to improve my form, provide a meal plan, and set a routine.

Nasal saline recommendations needed. Most of the ones I tried make my nose ticklish and make me sneeze

Anyone do macro counting? How do you like it?

Anyone find a collagen powder/supplement that actually doesn’t taste like anything (or even better, tastes good)?

Even the “unflavored” vital proteins had an offputting flavor to me so any suggestions are much appreciated!

Meal prep ideas - that work for you? - looking for something that is 10 mins of prep time or less during the week, healthy and offers variety (tired of the same 3-4 veges on repeat)! I prefer lots of veges, fish and occasional lean meats

Without fail everyday around 4pm I encounter low-grade depression. This has been ongoing for years and I've tried to combat it through making plans, exercising etc... Anyone else experience this and found healthy solutions?

I want my pre Covid abs back, but I also discovered that I really really like food. I eat healthy all day until 2 pm :( what type of snacks to keep around not to feel like I am depriving myself?

Anyone else extreme ? Love the fit life and sometimes will do 2 a days and be ok with eating one meal, but other times will spend the day barely moving and eating on my sofa. Can’t escape fatty life

I want to get my husband a Theragun for Christmas. He is active and plays basketball a couple of times a week and always complains of soreness. My question is which model is the best? Elite, Prime, or Mini?

I’m interested in investing in a pair of cycling shoes that clip in for studio classes - any reviews of Tiem brand?
