Weather in London is always unpredictable and likely won’t be great (sun will set very early, cloudy, good chance of rain) but London is an all weather destination.

Some areas of the city will shut down especially early (like around 5-6) but there will still be solid nightlife and you’ll get the Christmas vibe / atmosphere

Def do it!!! The Christmas vibe is amazing, but yes it gets dark at like 3:30

I’m planning to go to London for thanksgiving break. Not the same as OP, but would love to hear thoughts on anyone who’s been there at that time. Thanks.

I do it every year, you’ll love it 🎅🏼 there are a million sweet things to do, great shopping, good food, and so christmassy

General question about LinkedIn, but I figured recruiters may have a better perspective.

Is it really beneficial to have a LinkedIn premium account over the regular free account? I’m currently looking for opportunities and wondering if it really will make a difference to pay the price and subscribe to the premium account.
Can anyone recommend if, and how it will, or will not help?

I am project manager in clinical research industry (CRO). After earning PhD, I gave up my science dream to take a more stable job. After slowly climbing the ladders, I feel like I finally got a seat at the table. Half the days I like the hustle, but now I miss being creative. I want to take more brainstorming, decision making responsibilities but I don’t see that in the career path for PM. Career path usually goes like this- Sr PM, Director l, Sr Director, and so on. But all do same work.

I have a prescription for Vyvanse. Even without Vyvanse, I have diagnosed generalized anxiety. On top of that, depression runs in my family. It’s not a diagnosis, but I suspect it’s there. Vyvanse certainly doesn’t help the anxiety, especially when I’m coming down off it for the day. I want to ask my doctors about an anti-anxiety/depression meds, but does anyone here take ADHD meds and those other meds at the same time? I’m worried about the drug interactions/potential physical effects. TIA.
