I expected pregnancy hormones to make me more emotional, what I didn’t expect is to always be on the cusp of pure rage. If I get feedback from the client during a meeting on a slide, I automatically see it as failure and just want to give up. If my project lead pivots during a meeting and doesn’t stick to the script I literally want to blow a fuse — I used to feel so chill about work and now I’m always on the verge of losing it lol.

The baby has taken over. You are no more. I hope the ppl around you hopeful understand and give you all the love you need.

Welp, you could be me, the emotional hormonal type, who randomly burst into tears in a client meeting and was so embarrassed then outed yourself as pregnant, like that somehow would make the situation less awkward? Yep.

Ouf, that sounds tough girl. But on the bright side, you’re creating a human life and all they’re doing is creating PowerPoint decks — I think you have the right to be more emotional🤍

Yes between the hormones and general uncomfortable crankiness, my annoyance level is through the roof. My husband is ducking for cover 😂

Anger is an emotion! It’s your hormones. Give yourself grace and try your best to avoid reacting to your emotions and unloading on innocent bystanders.

Why do recruiters never tell you which agency they want to talk to you about until they get you on the phone? I don’t want to waste anyone’s time and it would be helpful to know this info from the initial outreach. My experience with this only applies to healthcare, but would imagine it’s the same in consumer as well. Anyone?

I have an offer for $130k for a senior attorney position in a boutique L&E firm. Also have a recruiter who thinks she can get me into another for $150-170k. Both are more than I’ve ever made (Denver, 17 yrs of experience but completely different practice areas). Any tips for countering the $130k offer for more using the other potential offer while not risking a complete withdrawal of the current offer? I’ve never been in a position to bargain my starting salary so this is all very new to me.
