How are you guys getting to sleep at night? I spend all day looking forward to going to bed, but I just lie there, overthinking. I can't take sleep aids, so I'm not sure what else I can do.

I've developed an even more annoying habit, I tend to fall asleep but then I wake up about an hour later. And then I can't fall back asleep as all the usual anxieties play out in my mind. It's diabolical, I'm tired enough to fall off, but then it's like I know I'm rested enough to wake up and really worry. I eventually fall asleep again, but it's really annoying.

Can you define “sleeping aids”?

Work on a bedtime routine. I know it sounds kind of childish, but it can work wonders. Put screens away an hour or two before bed, do something relaxing, and get your brain to slow down.

Podcasts, things to listen to that takes your brain away from overthinking but forces you to close your eyes

What are your go-to podcasts? I've tried, but I tend to find them a little too engaging to sleep to.

Im normally an in-by-9 type. Last night I was in bed by 9, but did not fall asleep until 2 from work anxiety.

I have found great benefit from CBD. My uncle has used sleeping meds most of his life and in more recent years it hasn't helped him and of course there are always potential bad effects. I started CBD occasionally for my pain, especially at night. One dose of 1600mg (further details I am not sure sorry!) gets me straight to sleep and I stay asleep which is a true blessing!

I’ve heard it’s difficult to get into Private Equity after earning an MBA, is this true? If I work as an MBB consultant for a few years on primarily PE casework after getting an MBA, what would my exit opportunities look like if PE is not an option? Would all my work with PE cases just be wasted?

Hello everyone, I am graduating this May as a double major in business management and operations and supply supply chain management. I interned at a large 3PL last summer and it led to a full time offer as a operations supervisor. I am supposed to start this June but for some reason I'm not sure if I am on the right track. I would love some insight on a good potential career path and if I should look for other opportunities or see how the one I have plays out. Thanks!

I am a graduating student who just got offered 65k for a solution analyst role at Deloitte USDC (Data Engineering Focus). From reading previous posts it seems to be a lot of negative thoughts surrounding the USDC, but straight out of college is this a good opportunity?

I'm looking to gain as much experience as possible out of college in an IT role and wondering what exit opportunities may be in place a year or two down the road if there is little/slow progression.

Any Advice?

I have a partner who routinely ignores emails or responds to them several weeks later. He has to approve every single document sent to the client or the court, which means you have a physically go to his office to ask him to review something. Half of the time you go to meet with him in person, he’s either on a call or otherwise busy. I find that this basically creates more work and makes meeting deadlines extremely difficult. Is this normal?
