Going to attend my MBA in a top b school soon but I feel absolutely anxious and scared. I havent socialized in the past 2 yrs and Im just really overwhelmed

Hi there, I’m wondering if it’s worth it to get the CFA, if so, what career moves would you make and what positions to look for/apply? I have the Series 7, 66, 9/10, health and life insurance, did an accreditation program for private wealth advisor through my current work, studying for the CFP to sit for the exam sometime in 2023 and have the MBA. I currently work in private wealth management. Any other recommendations are welcome.

I've been working remotely for the past two years, and it's been great. I love working from home and being able to watch my kids grow up through their eyes as they play around me. But sometimes, when you're in this kind of situation, it's hard to know what to talk about with your coworkers.

23M here. Anybody have any tips or book recommendations on not feeling haunted by your past and anxiety about the future and consistently stay in a “FLOW STATE”.I’m currently reading the Power of Now. I have a habit of burning bridges because I feel that I’m perpetually trying to fit in and act “cool”. I feel that I’ve always been somewhat unconfident but every year it seems to be more and more difficult to manage and taxing emotionally. I go to the gym 4 times a week, try to eat clean, socializ

I am currently working with fiitjee ltd kolkata as marketing manager. I have done BE in computer sc. And MBA in marketing and operations. I have total 8 years of experience. I want to switch from education industry to IT. I need help.

I am looking to gain certification or other credentialing in diversity and inclusion, not only because it would look good on my resume both for future job-search purposes and also to become better educated in this area, which is growing in importance.
I looked at SHRM's "Inclusive Workplace Culture Specialty Credential" and got a bit of "sticker shock" at the cost - $1,655.00 for members.
Does anyone have other suggestions on training/credentialing in this area?

I have a young student with CVI and extremely limited mobility. She is able to vocalize but not speak. However, I’ve seen her response and mannerisms change (positively) in the presence of parents and siblings which leads me to believe that she is cognizant enough to possibly use a communication device. However, I don’t even know where to start with researching the best one for her. Any suggestions?

2 of my best friends who were dating for over 9 years just broke up and I feel like I’m going through the breakup with them as well. I’m sad I won’t get to hang out w/ both of them at the same time

Looking for advice:
Currently an analyst at LMM PE firm (~$3B AUM) going to H/S in 2023. How can I best position myself for competitive PE roles coming out of MBA?

16 weeks and so worried all of the stress I’m under is going to hurt the baby. Between work, my own scary (non-pregnancy) health stuff, the pandemic, my mom (who is a widow and lives alone, basically isolated by choice due to covid) is having health issues, and pressures to keep billable hours up, I’ve been having complete breakdowns. Today I spent almost the entire day crying and now have to make up the billable time this weekend. I really worry abt what effect this will have on the babe.

Hi all! I’m inclined on taking up the CIPM training and certification exam. I’m already a certified Data Protection Officer in the Philippines. I intend on skipping CIPP as it applies to the US and EU.

How difficult was the exam? Can you share your experience studying for the CIPM exam? Is it advisable to skip CIPP?

Many thanks in advance.

Hello everyone. Is someone able to provide a referral to Regeneron? There are two opportunities there that I am interested in. I am a Pharmacist who is currently enrolled in an MBA program at Rutgers University. Thank you all.

Should we introduce ourselves?

I’d like some help evaluating the best deal. Airbnb potential house/ back house in Texas (furnished for $570k) Airbnb would break even (~3600)and most of not all of mortgage while I live in the back unit. Turnkey but not sure about appreciation or value. OR triplex for $625k that generates 4500/month, it’s in a questionable street in an amazing zip code.

We are buying a house and my knee jerk response was to look at a 30 year fixed mortgage (because that’s what I’ve always done). I realized last night that a 30 year mortgage might outlast me. Having a bit of an existential crisis now.

Is now a good time to buy property in London? For investment purposes.

I get credit alerts from Experian/ TU & was told two email addresses were found on the dark web. Have been hit w fraudulent charges in FL via Chipotle app; rec'd email that said sender knew my password (was partially correct) & was going to send nude pics of me to my contacts; rec'd email from Best Buy about my email being used to reset my pword (don't have BB acct) & today was notified of a declined transaction in Canada (I'm in TX). Besides changing pwords/ replacing cards what should I do?

2. Great food scene and things to do as a young professional
3. Relative LCOL can’t afford housing in NY, SoCal, etc.
4. Diversity of culture especially a bigger Chinese presence

Happy Friday comrades! Sorry this place has been pretty quiet, I've been moving to a new apartment.

Fun thread time.

Comment with your favorite garbage capitalist takes on socialism. I'll start:

If you love socialism so much, why don't you empty your bank account and live as a feral mountain man in the woods?

Do any of the MBB have formal partnerships with any law firms? I.e. you refer your clients to them for legal needs and they refer their clients to you for consulting needs.

I have a friend who has been at 4 firms in 6 years. She wants me to refer her to my firm (a v25) but I actually don’t think she’s a great atty and substantively isn’t experienced in the area she wants to work (wants to do tech trans but had experience in trademark prosecution and ip lit). Do I just not submit her? I would hate to work with her.

Has anyone been approved for short term disability for depression? What was the process like?

Feeling very unloved by my family, my friends, in life in general, my SO. Please comment with something funny or cute 💚❤️

How are people coping with being made redundant during lockdown? I'm becoming even more anxious and slightly depressed that I'm going to be another year older but another year further away 😢

I started taking Wellbutrin last week. I feel restless and low energy last few days. Also, feel bit dizzy sometime after the medication. Usually how many days will it take for the medication to work?

How do you manage to be productive on a day that you’re feeling really depressed? My productivity sucks right now

Experiences with Buspar for anxiety? New psych wants me to switch wellbutrin for Buspar 3x daily 5 mg. I have been on a high dose of Lexapro (30 mg) since March, with 100 mg wellbutrin a day. The Lexapro is keeping my depression in check but anxiety is thru the roof this year.

I had my lows but managed to work with therapist, have been mostly good about taking medication (still searching for one that works for me), looking for different psychiatrist and therapist as well, started working out daily, and opened up to one person at work who has been very supportive - mostly listening without judgment and less of providing solutions/recommendations. Been eating better and sleeping slightly better also.
Then last evening, couldn't do anything although I had work to do- ctd

My firm is virtual - all work done remotely in home office unless on client site. Haven’t traveled since mid October. It’s driving me nuts. What do you recommend doing?

Not sure what to expect from this app. Kind of new to me. But how do people handle depression and anxiety in the workplace? I’ve been getting panic and anxiety attacks lately. My doctor prescribed Wellbutrin. Has anyone had success with this med? Has it affected your ability to work?

Nothing is going right... my stakeholders dislike me. I’m not as smart as my coworkers. I’m not acing my gmat practice tests... idk how to turn this around

sometimes i want to disappear

I hate my current job (no longer at BCG). Have been interviewing but no offers except for current one, which I was originally relatively excited about until I heard the numbers. Worse than my current role at this toxic company. I don’t know what’s wrong with me, but I’m feeling very depressed, hopeless, and worthless. I don’t want to stay here but I also don’t want to take a step back. I feel like either is just more misery and that my life is falling apart.I just want to end it all.

Anyone else suffering from eating disorder?

Anyone take lithium for BP2? What’s your experience been like? Just starting on it

Can’t focus. All I do is scroll through my phone. Work is not challenging and I feel checked out. My project wants me to take on a new role but I’m nervous about it. Work feels so different since the pandemic. Feel like all I do is exist at it and I’m always waiting around. Anyone else?

If anyone is available to chat for a few minutes today in DM, I just need some support that I can save my relationship after a fight which has sent me into a depressive episode. Thanks fam :)
