Have any of you ladies switched birth control pills after only a week? I’ve been on my old pill for 1.5 years and it’s been mostly great but told my gyno my libido is much lower. She suggested mini pill and it’s been a nightmare. I’ve thrown up, hot flashes, awful heavy, clotty bleeding (sorry if TMI) and a headache everyday. I do feel like I have my libido back up though, only good thing. I want to switch back to my old pill, but not sure if I should after just a week. Gyno says it’s up to me.

I need some advice! Currently in the process of getting a new job but have no idea what to ask for or what I should be making. My new potential role is Account Supervisor at a pharma agency, is asking for $95k reasonable? I’m currently a senior account manager with 6 years experience but worked abroad for my entire career so I have no idea what I should be making. I don’t have pharma experience but this agency is still interested in me so I’m wondering if what I’m asking for is too high?

Quitting before finalizing offers?

I’m at post onsite and negotiation stage at a couple places but it may take another month or 2 due to either hiring freezes or general slow processes.

I want to quit now to go on vacations that I held off during prep. Does it make much difference when I negotiate offers? Like if my upcoming unvested RSU would be (partially) matched, and they find out I quit somehow, is it no longer matched? Other potential snags?

My husband yells at me in front of my 2 years old, even when he is scared. He needs to express his anger out before he can shut down. I am planning to leave him but I am hesitant because I am afraid this would negatively impact my son more, not having a father figure around much.... not the first time, my husband promises multiple time that at least he would control his anger in front of kid but never Lee up the promise...sometimes he would even throw stuff (not at me and my child)...
