Hi how's the HBO and Reed exhibition project?

Just watched Anelka on netflix. Would definitely recommend

Best Chipotle location in the city?

I swear the quality at Chipotle has gone down. Not sure if it’s because I always order online for pick up? For me, it’s never made right and doesn’t taste the same. Any similar experiences?

Hey - just moved to the East Vil and would love your recommendations! Coffee, food, reading spots, you name it, I’m game. Hit me!

Audiobook recommendations? Currently listening to The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck and I'm enjoying it, but I'd also be open to listening to novels aside from self help books.

Where to go with kids and grandparents during cold season in Chicago or Northshore? Moved to Northshore recently with 2 kids and parents visiting soon.
1. Restaurant recommendations.
2. Play areas.

I ordered 4 slices of cake, and had 2 spoonfuls. Immediately regretted the decision.
Now I am overwhelmed with guilt for ordering and eating dessert.

I have a sweet tooth and I'm struggling to give up sugary treats. I am at a point where I need something sweet each time after lunch and dinner. My mental justification for it is that I don't consume any added sugar other than these treats.

Any suggestions for alternative desserts?

Do you play phone games during busy season?

Does anyone take packed lunch to work?

If yes, can you share ideas of freshly cooked food that’s easy, quick, healthy and vegetarian that can be whipped up in the morning before heading off to work?

Best cocktail and why?

I unfortunately have 2 tickets for sale for the 2nd annual TPG Awards. Tickets come with a meet and greet with Brian Kelly and TPG office tour + catered lunch in the afternoon. Pre awards cocktail

What’s your favorite salad chain? Trying to eat healthy…

Looking for suggestions on what Caribbean island(s) to spend a week at in March. Would be two people, budget ~$6k total. Mostly looking to spend time drinking on the beach. Maybe some light hiking and sightseeing.

Interviewing for another job. How do I finagle getting the time off with out looking suspicious in my current job? I hate lying and there are only so many “last minute appointments” one would have.

I work in a big 4 consulting firm and have a package of 20 LPA hold an MBA from India and have 5 years work experience, I am being offered a job in Germany on the same profile and role in Frankfurt. What should be the expected salary I can quote given I am married and my husband doesn’t have a job in Germany yet.

I get around 2 L per month in hand and have 4.5 years of experience, tech stack - java backend.
I had 4 years of experience in support role and recently switched to a dev role in a product based company.
I am in a big dilemma whether I should go for masters in UK in September 2023 or not. I am married and the salary is good here but I feel like I lack knowledge.
PS: I don’t have any issue with my current company, the work culture is great, it’s employee centric, amazing perks etc.

Another question for hiring managers and recruiters. When viewing a portfolio do you prefer to see more extensive case studies or something more brief? I’ve recently heard that due to having so many candidates to review, more concise case studies are preferred. Would you say this is true?

Do you guys feel like Biden is actually the cause of the unemployment rate being down? In 18 states where the rate is down significantly, 15 of them are run by republicans... just saying.

Regular Runners: how do you break up your run schedule?

I have a 3 runs right now (long, med, sprint) at around 10 miles/week but am wondering if it may be more advantageous to just do more days at the moderate pace. My sprint workout is the same every week pretty much though I add maybe one interval every other week. Interested to hear what others do - do you switch up sprint workouts, run every day, or have a strict program?

I'm not training for anything specific. I'm also lifting. Thanks!

Has anyone used a CGM to track their insulin levels without being diabetic? I’ve been mulling over having the extra data point to track food intake, impact on the system, and performance impacts (endurance athlete). Family has a history of Type 2, so a bit more aware/cautious of tracking. I welcome all resources!

I eat very healthy and am disciplined throughout the whole day, but each night after dinner I get a craving for ice cream/something sweet. This happen to anyone and what do you do for it?
