Has anyone started a new job while expecting a child? I'm thinking about it but could use some input from people with experience.

FTM and first one in my friend’s circle to have a baby. Feeling pretty lost on when to do what. Like when do I sign up for a Lamaze class, and do I even need it. What other classes I need? And is my obgyn going to tell me when to start with the perineal massage. I am not even sure how I know of these terms but what if there is something out there I could do or I need to do and I don’t know about it.

Pregnant with my first baby and I’m having the WORST sciatic nerve pain. I had a back injury with nerve damage when I was in my early 20s and at 18 weeks pregnant, it’s almost unbearable. I’ve increased my prenatal workouts like yoga, Pilates and walking because my doctor said that helps but it’s not helping. Any advice from the momma fishes? 🙏🏻

My baby is 7 weeks old and still feeding every 2-3 hours. I’m exhausted to the point of tears but cannot fall asleep during the day when I have a window to do so. (I rely on half a Unisom to be able to sleep at night.) Any suggestions?

Just found out I'm pregnant with second! Excited and nervous about life with two young ones (first will be 2 yrs old by the time second arrives). Wondering how the heck I can continue this job??

I am severely burned out and my boss tells me to suck it up. He's been a realtor for 50 years only because he inherited this company from his father, but he never had to do any of the hard lifting. Being a realtor is hard and tiring, y'all.

Heading down to the Springfield area to spend Thanksgiving with my in-laws and my mother-in-law wants to get up around 3:00 a.m. to line up for Black Friday Sales... honestly, I don't think I love anyone enough to get up that early and spend hours in the cold dealing with a crowd of people... Happy Thanksgiving everyone

OT: I can deal with Covid, I can deal with the looming recession, but 14 elementary school children killed by a mass shooter is going to put me in a really dark place. I’m heartbroken. As a mother, I see the faces of my kids in the headlines.

Is there anyone that is teaching from home and your students have returned to school? How did you get permission to do that and how does that work with kids in the classroom? I am guessing there has to be an adult in the room while the students are in there but is there another teacher during their planning or do you have to get a sub? Our reentry has been delayed and I am working with HR to try and stay home while students aren’t there but it looks like I’m going to have to take some Parental Leave once students do return because there is not a plan otherwise.

Started a new job 6 weeks pregnant and don't qualify for maternity leave. I want to ask the partners if there's anything they can do since it's a small agency. Keep it practical? Personal? Let it go?

How does one get into SaaS sales?

I’m 37, 5 years into working for a distributor of building products and have climbed the ladder 🪜 from Territory Manager to Regional Sales Manager, but I’m in charge of 6 of our 7 states and want to travel less now that I have a child. I want to stay in sales and get back into commission vs. salary. I loved chasing the carrot and making more.

I was planning my honeymoon in Italy and now I feel like everyone and their mother is going to Italy for their honeymoon. I feel silly, but now I want to change my destination 😂

I’ve been informed that I need to do in vitro if I have kids. I would like to so would like to begin the process now while I’m younger. While PwC covers in vitro, if I choose to get pregnant in a few years versus today and freeze my eggs would they still cover it?

Need an opinion. I just finished week 2. I do an hour after school club at my district once a week on zoom and none of my own schools students participate. I received a very nasty and aggressive email from a parent making threats and hyperbolic accusations so I forwarded the email to the personnel at the district. They were supportive but is still willing to “work together to assist her”. I thought I was pretty vocal that I did not appreciate the way she addressed me and don’t take lightly to

Hello All anyone know about company “Reply” in London,UK?
I need to understand paternity leave over there.

What would you do? I live in a town home neighborhood, & the neighbor 2 doors down has a guest that blocks my driveway/parks in my spot, which is against HOA rules & makes it impossible for me to get out of my garage. I & the neighbor next door have spoken with them but they still do it. I went & took a pic of the car to send to the HOA & she came out & said “she’s moving her car you stupid ass B.” The hostility, poor manners & ghetto demeanor is just so off-putting. What would you do?

Do you typically share your salary or salary expectations with recruiters on the first interview? I’ve had instances where the interviewer flat out tell me the range of salary band via email even prior to initial interview. I think this is a great way to set expectations from the get go and will save both parties time - but some companies like to play the “game” and get you to share numbers first, which I find very annoying. What have your experiences been with salary expectations?

Been wondering about this a lot lately. How do you know if you're on the right industry/career? I've been kind of unhappy where I at but I don't necessarily think it's because of the work. I think it's more of the people I work with, which is also weird because they're technically really great people except for one or two.

Where is everyone working now and where does everyone want to pivot to? Let’s see if we can help each other’s out!

I’ll start:
I’m Client Ops at Carat looking to do marketing for a DTC startup

Currently a JR PM at an ad agency in NYC. Working on social media for my client. Really don't enjoy it. Previous experience is in experiential marketing and really loved that because I knew humans would interact, touch, and feel the things I helped create.
Not attached to advertising, I crave work that makes me think critically and isn't redundant. I am a huge people person and love interacting with people. I am wondering if anyone has career paths or style of work that is more inline with me 🙂

Who do you put down as a reference if most people you’ve worked with at old companies has left too? Can I still give the contact information for my former boss or colleagues if they work at different places now?

Need advice fellow fishes in the bowl!

I'm not the kind of guy who is driven by running after new clients. I can develop good relations with anyone, yes, but its not something which drives me

Now, I've received an ok-ish offer from Bain Capability (BCN) as a project lead (continued in comments)

I'm at a career juncture and have decided on a career in anti-money laundering as my new path. I'm also highly interested in additional education to further my career and am eyeing graduate school. Which is best? A law degree or a master's in international relations? Those are where my interests lie. I keep reading that JDs are valued in compliance but am wondering if a different graduate program is better for my goals. I already plan to obtain the CAMS certification. Thank you!
