Hey New Yorkers! Have a celebratory team win and want to take my team out (6-8 of us) in NYC for a nice day. Everyone is vaccinated but want to keep things outdoors. Any fund recommendations? Was thinking maybe a catered rooftop bar and meal somewhere with an activity beforehand. Any favorite spots or things to do?

Any parents here? How did you originally explain the Covid pandemic to your children?

For those taking gmat more than 1 time, did your scores improve in the second time? Got a 690 my first one a month ago and retaking this week but I find myself freaking out. My practice test has been 720-730, though the one this weekend dropped to 700 because i was freaking out with verbal. Any encouragement is strongly appreciated 😔😥

I'm no longer obese (according to the BMI index). I'm now in the overweight category. I've lost 31 pounds this year! 😁🎉

To do an ERA or not before transfer is the question. My clinic said currently the recommendation is to only do an ERA with multiple transfer fails, but I’ve read about ERA’s for those with recurrent pregnancy loss as well. Anyone go through this experience?

having vivid violent dreams I can remember which has never happened. Pretty depressed also for reasons. Struggling to get out of bed let alone exercise. Feel inadequate for lacking mental strength

Are you spending time with family this month or next? My parents are still really worried about Covid since I work in the hospital so it looks like I may be spending the holiday season alone. I understand where they're coming from, but I'm not really sure what to do with myself next week or at Christmas. Tips? Should I try to find a remote pharm manager position?

Took a few days off to take control over my mental health and I couldn’t be happier that I did this

Talk to me about side effects from progesterone. I’ve been on suppositories for 2 weeks in my TWW and im having the WILDEST side effects but also similar to pregnancy.

Can anyone tell me about infusion nursing? How did you get into it? (I see a lot of job postings but they all want experience.)

Have been sober for many years but currently relapsed and am in a downward spiral. I’m close to losing my family but I can’t seem to get my head together. Feel like I need a few months out, maybe take some time off work… has anyone done similar and did it help?

Anyone struggling with imposter syndrome? When I worked for a very well known Fortune500 tech company I couldn't help but feel major imposter syndrome. One- I am a woman in a male dominated industry, I didn't go to a prestigious school like most of my peers and I just didn't think I deserved to be there. Everyday was a struggle and tried to keep myself small so no one would find out I was a "fraud." Looking back on it now, wiser and more experienced, I realized how detrimental feeling that way

I work in a firm that is known for litigation defense. I’ve been developing my own plaintiffs practice as well. I am able to pay the bills with my hourly defense work, which gives me time to focus on a handful of high value PI case a year on contingency. I was recently negotiating a case and was told part of the reason the claims rep/OC was jerking me around was because they didn’t see me as a plaintiffs attorney. Is there any way to change this perception or does it just come over time?

Dumb question.. what’s the proper etiquette for when you get a job through a recruiter who reached out to you first? A simple thank you email, a Starbucks gift card, etc?

Is it really that hard for managers to book their own conference rooms and send out invites? The time it takes to ask one to do it could it not have just been done by themselves?

Anybody working with a client that is looking for content or has everyone just decided to rerun old work?

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?

Just interviewed somewhere that’s considered a great agency and who’s work I LOVE, but it didn’t feel right... it went really well, but something doesn’t feel right. Advice???

When should you stop following up after a great interview? Was told I was too pricey for one market, so they asked me if I would consider another in the future. I said yes, and now it’s been a week.
