Has anyone experienced this? Applied for a job on LinkedIn, first contact with the company is to do a case study then interview. I've never experienced this before. New norm for Corona?

Yes for experience and no for pre-Corona - it’s company dependent

Interesting. I've only ever done case studies after meeting the team, not as my first entry point to a company. First time for everything.

I’ve done case studies for industry roles before. It’s common when the team has ex-consultants or ex-bankers

I have worked as a strategy consultant (& a researcher). Should I change lines? Where else can I try?

I‘ve completed my 3rd round of ivf which resulted in 4 eggs being retrieved and only 1 blastocyst that was transferred/failed.

I’m only 35 but have a low amh .425 and my dr is suggesting to go back to IUIs since I was getting the same number of eggs when we went through that process. (Tried twice and both times didn’t work). Anyone have any success going back to IUI after IVF? Should I stay with IVF?

Interviewed for the 2023 Enterprise Strategy Senior Consultant role at IBM. Went through to the behavioral interview after the case and am waiting to hear back. Any idea how long it usually takes?

Hi everyone, I am 4 days into my IUI process. I also recently found out that my UTI was not a UTI but instead Ureaplasma. My husband also tested positive.
We are waiting to hear back from the fertility specialist but I wanted to see if anyone has had this experience, or any knowledge. I’m nervous that the antibiotics will affect my ability to conceive, but just as nervous ureaplasma will make it difficult as well. I can wait until next month and start over but I really don’t want to. Any advice

I’m 31yrs old and husband is 33yrs old, his motility and sperm count is too low, all my results are normal. so we decided to go with IUI first and see and then try for IVF as I cannot afford IVF, my insurance is not covering for treatments. I was taking letrozole And ovidural injection(only one injection), and got ready for this cycle, but unfortunately when the sperm was washed his motility 2.5 and our doctor at CCRM suggested not to go, as count is too low and it doesn’t work.😭. Will IVF work?

Is working at a top FAANG really worth that kind of cost? I'm leaning heavily 'no' but it's not making it easy to sleep at night knowing I'm sitting on this kind of offer!
