Has anyone done CVS or/and Amniocentesis? How painful? Thanks!

Alright - time for a little accountability! What are you all doing this weekend to stay on track for your fitness goals?

Today Pfizer announced that trials show that their vaccine is 100% effective for teens ages 12-15. Do you think most of our students will get it for next year?

Does anyone get depressed on a sort of seasonal schedule? Not like SAD, but in cycles throughout the year that seem to track to the same time period each year.

I love spring and summer, but every March, my depression gets significantly worse for a few weeks. I usually have a second dip in August/September. I’ve yet to identify a trigger, only a pattern…

Anyone have tips for dealing with pain caused by stress/anxiety? For over two years I’ve had this unexplained back/shoulder/neck pain and the doctors couldn’t pin it on anything. I transitioned out of running my own business and into a traditional role and the pain immediately disappeared. Now that I’ve been in the role for 6 months I’m having flare ups again. I’ve narrowed it down to be stress induced. I’ve started therapy, and I do strength training 3x a week. Any more tips? Apps for stress?

I lied about having COVID to get out of a family reunion.

Can anyone recommend some good resources (books maybe?) for learning about intermittent fasting? Seems to be a lot of contradictory crap online.

Is there any truth to the rumor that advertising falls under the “media” category for vaccine phase 1c?

Hello! I’m only about 4 weeks pregnant, so super early. I am about to go on vacation and thankfully did a quick search on some “dos and donts” for the first trimester. I am v disappointed to see I shouldn’t do saunas and hot tubs as my vacation was really planned to be all relaxation. But it got me thinking, could you all share the most surprising pregnancy do or don’t you’ve encountered? I feel like I just need a master list cause there seem to be so many limitations 😭

I hate emotional dysregulation. It threw me into a complete spiral yesterday and apparently it has not resolved itself this morning. It's currently interfering with my ability to be a good human and a functioning adult. Makes it so I want everyone to disappear off the face of the earth.

That diarrhea hitting while presenting<<<

How do you stealthily ask for help? I see a lot of you mentioning that you ask your partners to give you deadline, have your assistant check in, etc. That sounds great, but I'm so nervous about looking like the odd one out or revealing my ADHD in the process. So I haven't brought myself to do it yet.

Just when you think the depp-heard trial is dying down, they bring in this trippy, psycho psychiatrist 😂

Any good primary care docs in Shaw and or NW DC? Thank you in advance. Not looking at OneMedical.

I’ve come across a lot of conflicting advice on fasting - is it effective for weight loss or general health or does it slow down metabolism, I’m confused. I’m the kind of person that is almost always hungry. Anyone cracked the code here willing to share your in insights/experience?

I’ve found online AA meetings, but I’m struggling with drug cravings. Anyone know of online NA meetings? thanks!

Looking to pivot from biotech to big tech in a less technical role (bizops, analytics, implementation manager) . I have a degree from Stanford in Biology (c/o 2021) and experience leading technical client implantations, but feel like companies just see my degree isn’t finance/CS/ statistics, and throw out my application. Am I overthinking? And what certifications have you seen help boost a person’s resume?

Please feel free to include any questions or thoughts on your mind in this thread on top of the weekly post. 😃 This week’s question is related to celebration, how have you taken time to recognize your scholars during this school year?

The waiting game for december decisions is painful

Recommendations on the best podcast, book, or other medium to learn more about “entrepreneurship through acquisition”?

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? How much does networking with firms early, developing headhunter relationships, and building up deal reps move the needle? Any thoughts on how my experience will be perceived having skipped IB?

Can this weather please just give up I'm sick of it 🤯🤯🤯

I’m new to the world of billable hours. I like to keep organized, so I do spend a small bit of time making/updating case lists and contact sheets to make sure I have record of last contact with client/OC, where I am in suit, relevant deadlines, etc. Do you bill for this kind of work?

Hi Fishes!!

How do you suggest a functional to grow his or her technical skills - so that they can manage debugging and understanding code by their own.


Please share any useful resource whixh impressed and helped you personally.

Hi,

I got a mail confirming my selection in the DSE programme (cleared both rounds). In mail it is written that the role change will be effective from July 01 and official letters will be shared by mid of August.

From when I can expect the financial benefits/incentives?

How many rounds of technical interview are there in Infosys for a 3 yr experienced??

I’m feeling really nostalgic today and checking up on all my exes for no reason. What’s wrong with me?

Unpopular opinion - we inherently rank and cater to certain minority groups over other. We fail to recognize the struggles from these other minority groups and focus on the issues being pushed on social media and in the news.

Question, why do girls like to show off their bodies (insta, constant bikini pics etc.)? Like guys barely make an effort even when they’ve got abs and everything

Anyone working in tekion, could you please share your feedback.

I just started a new job as a Director. I’m the only black person in management on my accnt. It’s really hurtful but the other managers try to tell me what my job is and what I should be doing (Cont.)

Prometric is closed until May 31 all across the country.

Hey Sharks 🐟,
What are my chances of getting into a implementation ( SAP ABAP ) project at Accenture ? I got an offer but having second thoughts !!

Looking for advice, is it a bad idea to take a chance on an early stage startup (20 FTEs) in our current economy or go for it? I'm currently interviewing for a head of product role, and really torn about the timing.

Added context, they raised about $4M in seed funding and the founders say they're overcommitted for their series A which is currently being closed. I've been in product for 7 years, definitely feel equipped to do the job, but would like to stay at least 1.5-2 years if I do this.

If you stopped driving while pregnant, when and why?

I am going in for the NIPT tomorrow. A bit nervous, for those who have done it how long did it take to get back?

Here 28 weeks pregnant and tired of hearing you would need to do this for better lactation, you would have sleepless nights. Can a new mother not figure out on her own with the right scientific knowledge ? Is it important to go by what your parents , in-laws or known ones tell you ?

Apparently responding to “What’s your worst pregnancy symptom?” with “People telling me their traumatic birth stories” is an unacceptable answer.

How do you tell your employer?
Send an email and video chat?
Include a member from HR or just your boss?

Ladies, what does your out of office message while on maternity leave say? Not sure if I should say I’m on maternity leave or just use my regular ooo message.

I had *just* gotten back into running (2 weeks) when I found out I’m pregnant! Great news, but would you keep running? Doctor says it’s up to me.

What’s your take on drinking coffee during pregnancy?

Hello. What cleaning products are you using at home while you are pregnant ?

My boss wants be to travel at around 25-26 weeks, and I honestly don’t want to. Last time I traveled it caused some swelling in my feet and other random complications. Boss seems to have no sympathy either. It’s a long 5 hour flight even if it does end up being a smooth trip. Plus, once I’m there lots of extra time in cars and traffic.

Has anyone had trouble finding an ob gyn? I just moved to my area and the recommended ob gyns are fully booked. The first date I can schedule is not until I'm 20+ weeks along. Would you just go to a lower rated ob (taking 2 out of 5 stars on Yelp) the first few weeks and then switch when you are able?

Newly pregnant here! Anyone get pregnant right after starting a new job? Nervous about telling my team and needing to take leave within my first year at the new company.

Help! When would you disclose a pregnancy during the interview process?

Hi all, I was recently contacted by a headhunter for an incredible opportunity at a great startup.

I've always wanted to work for a startup and the product is awesome. I have made it to the last round. I am also 7 months pregnant (visible) and the last interview will be in person at their headquarters.

Should I say something before coming into the office for the last interview?

26 weeks pregnant and I’m really struggling. Fatigue ,back pain that extends to my leg and feels numb , unending hunger. I’m working from home but I’m not productive at all. I can’t nap because i know i must be working and people will look for me so that distracts me. I feel bad to take sick leave because I’ve already taken loads. Any advice is appreciated

Surprise pregnancy after 2 miscarriages, 1 failed IVF, and days before I was to start IVF round 2. I have a trip planned to Greece next week. Is there any reason you would *not* go? I’ll be 5 weeks.

Hi folks, need your help! Just found out that we’re pregnant (we were not actively trying so kinda surprised 🙈). What brand prenatal vitamins would you recommend? I’m seeing mixed suggestions on Folic vs. Folate - which one is important?

Please guide me and let me know if there is anything else I need to do at this moment. I’ve contacted my OB as well. I’m so worried. Thanks!
