anyone hear back about APMM program offers?
Hi all. I am trying to determine if I am being compensated fairly. I am a tax manager (about to start my second year as manager) and have been with EY since staff 1. I was promoted to manager in June 2020 (during covid) and received a 7.5% raise. The class above me has mentioned they received much higher raises during their promotion years. My base salary is now approx. 97K. Any insights would be extremely helpful. Thanks!

What is scaring you this spooky season?

The new company I’m at now sent me an email from an email address that was HR@companyName.careers saying I was accepted for the position. They gave me paperwork to fill out and sign to accept the position
I fill out the paperwork and send it back to them and it goes through… then a few days later I go back to the email to say something else and I get this…?
Then today I got a check from the company In the mail to setup my home office, and it’s signed by someone I’ve never met before or heard of…?
What…..

Any single women like houses?
hearing people do ASMR voices pisses me off.

My brother and I both have it. I recommend becoming more mindful of your feelings and the cause behind them. Being able to parse what a rational emotional response is vs a chemically imbalanced one is helpful for consciously addressing things. Mindfulness meditation is helpful for centering yourself - I don't really follow the whole guided mediation thing, but I find that pausing and focusing on the physical world around me in a slow and deliberate way helps (which people have told me is mindfulness meditation).
Also - understand that you need to be more careful with your health in order to stay stable. You want your body to keep itself as balanced as possible - so limit drinking and smoking (especially weed), sleep and wake at the same time each day and get 7-9 hours, exercise regularly, eat enough calories at proper and regular intervals and with proper nutrition, get enough vitamin D (via sunlight or supplements), etc.
It's not a death sentence - you just need to take good care of yourself. Also, meds are going to be a crutch, not a solution. Ease onto them gently and don't be afraid to ask a Dr for different ones if you don't think you have the right mix (I take Lamictal for the BP and Buspar to counter the anxiety the Lamictal gives me). DO NOT ARBITRARILY STOP TAKING THEM FOR ANY REASON. Not saying you need to be medicated forever - but you need to slowly wind down from them since they are altering your brain chemistry and it's unpleasant and unproductive to quickly start or stop taking them.
Lastly - keep your diagnosis on the down low, especially from co-workers. You don't need to identify yourself via a handicap and you don't want any sympathy or judgment. Life goes on and you'll eventually forget there's anything different once you become used to living with it. Cheers mate.

I’m not a doctor but I know that lack of sleep and stress can make it worse
