I have three frozen embryos related to IVF procedures we do not plan to use.

I might get roasted for asking such a basic question but - how much do you budget for eating out ($ amount or % of budget)?

Pre pandemic I was traveling 5 days a week and just used left over per diem on the one night I went out with friends at home. During covid I stayed home. Now that I’m fully vaccinated and are many of my friends they want to go out to eat/drink. During covid I moved from a LCOL to here so I’m experiencing delayed sticker shock at the prices. Any tips?

Thoughts on Peloton? I bought at $32 but recent rise make me think I should buy more...

Considering doing Shrooms or LSD in quarantine. Any experience and/or tips are welcomed 🙃

Did you know that forced pregnancy is recognized under the Geneva Convention as a crime against humanity and a war crime? Perhaps our companies can openly take a side on the current abortion issue since it impacts many of us and our work lives. What do you think? Civil responses only please.

Who has a therapist they like? Female recommendations only. Thanks in advance!

Jan 6th check in. How’s your workout?🧐

Where do you like to buy your gym clothes? What brand workout wear do you like the best? I have really only tried Old Navy.

Hi All,
Just want your suggestion on this to help me decide.
I've been working in QA team for big data project and recently I've got offers from Startup and service based MNC as data engineer for the role of Data Engineer.
I've not worked on the actual development of ETL batches till now but I want to learn and grow gradually.

What kind of organisation would be best for me considering my mental health as well because I take too much stress ?

Thanks 🙏

What are some good gyms in the city? I like to do a mix of cardio and strength, a pool would be nice but not a must.

Has anyone had a nurse state the assumed sex at 12 week ultrasound? The nurse is fairly sure it's a boy, and I'm wondering how accurate her guess is based on a close look of the genitals. Confirmation won't happen until 20 week appt, too far away!

Had signed for AYDE. Now having to cancel it as I have got fever. Just an explanation I hadn't been to office recently. I wasn't feeling well for over 8 days so I didn't visit office. I probably caught it from somewhere else.

I almost self harmed but stopped by grabbing something strong and drinking it straight. I've calmed down a little but this is the first time I turned to alcohol to cope. As long as I don't mix it with pills it's ok right.... I'm deep in self hate & shame now.

Do cheat meals actually help you lose weight, assuming you're eating at a decent deficit every other day and exercising regularly?

How is epam anywhere health insurance plan?

Taking FAR tomorrow and starting to feel anxious. Any advice?

Failed REG by 2 points... I feel defeated and honestly don’t know if I can do this anymore

It’s open enrollment season, and health insurance premiums are way up at my company (up 37% to $600/month for a family). Anyone else see big increases this year?

Had a really bad day 😞 I don’t know why I keep doing this to myself. Things will be going well and then out of nowhere I get blackout drunk. I am tired of feeling sick and anxious from drinking. I don’t really even want to drink sometimes but do it anyway. Blacked out last night, and still feel sick now. I’ve never shared with anyone that I have this problem, until I found this message board. I have so much anxiety that I won’t be able to get this under control. I feel isolated and sad.

Any OpenText'ers in this bowl??

I have an interview with one of the MBB tomorrow for an internship, any suggestions or tips?
This will be my first case interview ever and I feel lost

Value Vs Price

While selling something I believe in, I've always focused on the value to justify the price & leave a little room to negotiate.

If I personally believe in a terrific, purposeful value packed product that commands a certain price- I would make sure it gets reflected the way you position, pitch and solves a crucial pain point like no other.

Reason being simple- If you believe in something it's easy to sell

Hoping for some Friday Friendliness on this one: have several team match discussions coming up for Product Management roles. How would you advise getting a good feel for the team, assessing the lead, and otherwise proving the team dynamic?

Is it common for tech teams in the big 4 to hold out of state meetings before major holidays like labor day? I've only heard this applies to PWC so far....?

Thanks!

I’m so tired of US companies hiring remote Canadian employees offering to pay a fraction of the price for the same role.

This is consistent across the majority of the tech companies. While I am looking to exit consulting, don’t want to be paid 50% of what my colleagues would be making across the border.

Start up experience help! How much do you charge for taking on the entire UX of a startup companies’ app design?
Would you take a set amount of money or equity? Any experience here would help!

Crypto companies / frameworks going bankrupt is a path towards maturity ! Banks will buy these and make blockchain tech their own thing and then propel it forward towards regulation !

What's your favorite ski resort and why? Any tips and recommendations for saving money, sharing transpo, best time to avoid crowds?

Guy slid into my DM’s asking to be my sugar daddy. But he wants my PayPal info to send me money. Is PayPal a safe way? Also lol what is my life 🤦🏼‍♀️

Sometimes when I make a mistake at work I feel like I am not good enough for the job while other times I take it as “let’s do better next time.” Would love to find a balance between the two feelings.

Pic thread! Pic thread!! Pic thread damn it!!! Come on everyone!!!!!

Best shows you are binging or have binged? I just finished a cruel summer 🤩

I rearrange my home office several times a year. Idk why but every 4 months I need to change it up. Anyone else do this?

I used to see people who didn't care about current events or politics as intellectually lazy and irresponsible.

However, I feel burnt out on the constant stream of divisive bickering and toxicity.

It feels like ideas don't matter and pragmatism has become a dirty word for both sides.

For the first time in my life, I don't want to know what's happening in the world and I don't care who wins.

Apathy feels good right now.

I don’t want to stop living a double life. I’m a 29yo bi guy living in a liberal city and I’ve dated a guy(29m) for 5 years. I fly back to my conservative small town and pretend I’m straight for my parents (and extended family) because I don’t want to disappoint them or cause them any pain. I love them and I love my bf, and I want to keep both aspects of my life as they are today. My bf wants to meet my parents but I really don’t want to bring that drama into my life

Getting over heartbreak and having a full time job is torture lol. My boyfriend and I just broke up after almost a year of being together. It was such a beautiful relationship but ultimately he just didn’t love me. I love him so much. My mind knows that I deserve reciprocal love and I’m worthy, but I feel physically ill. My body hurts, my stomach is in knots, my head hurts. How is it that I have to mend a broken heart but also meet my billable hours lmao

I've been almost 3 years in my previous company and never have I ever tasted any raise from them. I got transferred to different accounts and LOB it was so exhausting and finally when I decided to leave and send my resignation my Supervisor be like "you know you should be thankful of your job" To be honest the job was very stressful and supervisor at some point is somehow toxic but thankful I get to take my leave.

I want a baby 😭

Got hired on part time for equity to do corporate strategy at a startup and that funding should hit in the Fall. Now it sounds like funding isn’t likely until we get a better following and I’ve been asked to do one reel and one blog a week (for minimal equity only) with all of my own content (photos, videos etc)
Ik it’s a startup but I feel like this is taking advantage of resources and I don’t give away my photos for free. Am I being too stubborn?

Sometimes I feel like I'm not a real lawyer because my job is completely remote and I feel like other people look down on me. Is this just my own insecurity.

Staying downtown Columbus Hilton for my wife’s job conference and we have to use valet parking since I need to use my car to go to work every day. $40 a day, how much do I tip and is it when I drop my car off and when they bring it to me in the morning?

My hidden talent is finding houses I love that are way outside my price range.

Yesterday I made a blanket fort with my husband and we watched a movie and ate ice cream. Yes, it was awesome.

How do you guys make friends in a new town?
