I relapsed today and I hate myself ugh.

Do you know what today is, today is the day I am now allowed back to office as our vaccination requirement was dropped? I still can’t go to our office in NYC and possibly some other jurisdictions and we do need to follow client rules to visit them.
Have any of other Big 4 made changes?

1/22/22 Daily Checkin! What’s your work out for this Saturday?

I am in a period of growth in my role (in house and getting more exposure to top management) - im grateful for it but I also have constant anxiety during and after work hours. Does anyone who’s been in a similar position have tips for riding this wave? Hoping it’ll get easier.

Talking to the opposite sex at the gym: yes or no? (Or same sex)

To do an ERA or not before transfer is the question. My clinic said currently the recommendation is to only do an ERA with multiple transfer fails, but I’ve read about ERA’s for those with recurrent pregnancy loss as well. Anyone go through this experience?

The feeling of avoiding mines buried on the gorund is one I carry at all times, and I remember the fear and the anxiety at every step. I still feel like this today, like every decision I make will lead to disaster.

Feeling really low cause I got diagnosed with a serious uncureable disease. Trying to process and come to terms with the implications of it. I wanna go out but struggling to motivate myself to even get out of bed 😔

So I feel like I want to keep eating something all day. Even though I'm full and not really hungry. It's the thing of chewing I guess. What to do to combat this?

Does anyone have a good psychologist/counselor recommendation in NYC? One that accepts United and doesn’t charge $130 “for the first six sessions”? I just want someone I can pay $35 weekly.

Has anyone done an online DrPh while working full time? If so- was it manageable? Would love to chat with you about your experience :)

Anyone have recs for a Nephrologist/Kidney doc?

Do we need a covid test for travel to India from US and back?

Ordered a shroom grow kit and two kinds of spores. I've never taken them and always wanted to. Let's see if they do anything to rewire the brain like some people say!

Took my first ever sick day today on account of my very poor and worsening mental health. Just could not bring myself to put in another 14 hour day with back to back meetings and constant activity. Felt very guilty but I honestly wish I could be more honest and actually share with my manager about why I took a day off.

For those also going through this, any tips on how you manage yourself day to day? What self talk tends to help?

a few weeks ago we had a super busy day with scripts and i think i went into ‘autopilot’ because i don’t remember it happening, but i handed out the wrong prescription to someone (before you get mad, i only started a few weeks ago and i’m a junior assistant), out of all people i could’ve given the wrong medication to, it was a blind person. i have severe anxiety already and want to know some tactics to go back to work without guilt? i take guilt very heavy and struggle to get past it all

Exam tomorrow - super nauseous which makes me even more anxious 🥲 anyone get this and how do you cope?

The nail on my second toe hasn’t been the same since I ran a half marathon a few years ago. It’s gross and totally messed up and it doesn’t seem to be getting any better. Do I see a podiatrist for toenails or a dermatologist?

My manager feeds me 100 chole bhature & then my tummy hurts so I ask her to give me a leave but then she declines my request and feeds me 1 more plate of chole bhature then I die because of excess gas formation inside my stomach, then I poop & become alive once again then my boss notices that im alive again and feeds me 109 plates of kadi chawal and this goes on and on and on and on

Had anyone stopped taking Xanax? Any tips? I have been taking 0.5 mg of Xanax every night for the past 2 weeks as my anxiety keeps me from sleeping. Unfortunately, I faced a side effect of constipation last few days, so I didn't take it last night, with hopes of weaning off of it. I didn't sleep well last night, and I'm super anxious/jittery today. A little dazed off too.

I’ve suffered from workaholism for a long time. Thanks to a lot of great self help books and therapy, I’m no longer putting work on a pedestal and I’m spending a lot more time on self care and my marriage. But, unfortunately, I am now getting withdrawals, because my body is used to the daily adrenaline of throwing myself into work. It’s this terrible feeling of like anguish/unease in my gut, but I don’t have anything I’m worried about- it’s like my body wants to find something to worry about.

Yoe-11.5
Current CTC -17.8
I have got an offer of 24.5 and designation AVP. I got what I asked.

Did I asked less?? Can I re-negotiate the offer? I don't have any other offer right now.

I didn’t get a CS degree. I studied applied math and geospatial and have fallen into software engineering. I now have 4+ years experience with it (writing clean production code with this geospatial speciality if I need it as well). What is a Goode base salary for someone like me working remotely in Vermont?

Hi there, I'm looking for opportunity in Accenture. Total 3 years of experience in Supply Chain management. Now titled as business analyst with strong analytical skills! Could anyone help me .

Novartis is providing permanent WFH, is this true?

How long does it take to get an offer letter from wells Fargo after submitting ABC questionnaire?

Anyone do referrals for open positions in AT & T

For people who post links to news first - how do you do it? I send stuff to people and they're like oh saw that, and it was two hours ago...

So pretty much you work In consulting, get paid half of what fang people make and In many cases work IB hours to meet clients continually changing demands . All the while the consulting project is built on a half thought out rushed tech stack/architecture? Meanwhile tech companies expose their employees to best in bread tech stacks? I really don’t understand why anyone in the field would work as a consultant doing data work? The only + is in consulting there are lots of low hangin fruit 🍎.

Any agency out there looking to hire a young marketing specialist? I just graduated and I read there's a shortage of workers. I'd be interested in finding some opportunities.

What puzzles do people generally get as a question in senior data analyst role interviews ?

Would you move to NYC if you found a job there and can afford the lifestyle / rent? Not sure if I should do it, GF would rather stay here.. any advice?

Hello Fish,

How is Publicis Sapient to join as Senior Associate Agile Program Management.

Thank You

The great resignation is now over be prepared for the great downsizing

I read this super interesting article about how big companies like Toyota are investing in social-emotional training for their employees and seeing massive benefits. I actually think this could be a whole separate class for students of all ages. Learning about conflict resolution, growing your own self-regulation skills...it's really important.

Looking for opinions. I’m an IW with 2 yrs experience working from home at a Fortune 500 company w/ excellent benefits, target salary 75k. I was previously offered a job at another company where the 75k salary was guaranteed for the first year. Most people make much more than this once their comp fully ramps up, but, I would have to work in the office. I declined the offer, but now the CEO wants to meet with me several months later. Would I be crazy if I asked for 100k guaranteed salary?

I’m currently being considered for a job and received a call last week from HR to discuss the organization’s health/retirement benefits and what my salary expectations are. Still no official offer yet, but I was told that the process could take some time. Is the call from HR a good sign? I’m nervous about how long it’s taking for the organization to officially say whether they’d like to move forward with me or not.

my last package was 4.8 how much I can expect in EY GDS having 5 year experience???

Please help

More than halfway through a 90 in 90 and I’m so grateful for NY AA and that there are so many meetings! Also 90 in 90 is actually kinda great

Sober and Vegan a year and 4 months now. Feeling great and more creative than ever

4 years today. #grateful #keepcomingback

Any meetings for ad people in la? I find no one really understands how we work in normal aa meetings. They find it suspect when I’m at work till 10pm every night for 3 weeks.

Hey! Heading to LA later this week for work. Will be with the team most of the time but hoping to sneak out to a late night or early morning meeting. Any recs? Staying in DTLA. Thanks! ❤️

AA meetings on or near campus?

Secretly glad October is coming to a close. I have two friends doing "Sober October" and I love them but it's insufferable. They keep saying things like "Ugh this is so hard, I don't know how you ...

are you open about your sobriety with colleagues?

4 years sober today. So much to reflect on, not least of which how important it is to “get comfortable getting uncomfortable”. In my experience, it’s truly the only way forward.

Sending strength to you all 🖤

You guys are great. Serious question for all... when was the last time you drank and why was it the last time?

I can’t handle the networking thing sober.... I’ve been sober 4 years and I still find it incredibly difficult... also a young professional

Recently interviewed for a dream job.
Now as I wait for a response and the tension builds I find myself thinking more about wanting to drink (I have 8 months so far). Cont.....

Anyone read Quit Like a Women, by Holly Whitaker? Reading now and it’s making me consider extending dry January to 6 months, maybe a yr, or ever again...curious to hear if anyone else has read.

8 years sober today! I love AA.

Hi! I had no idea this bowl existed until an Account Director at work told me about it today!!! I always thought I was the only sober one in this industry! Im so glad that there are more of you. 😅💓

I have 4 years on Saturday and will be in LA! Any meeting reccos near Korea town?

I’m beefing up my LinkedIn profile and was like, “Ugh. It’s SO NOT FAIR that I can’t add my time doing service and working w sponsees in AA under Volunteers Experience!”#nohumility #willkeepcomingbac

Moving to SF Bay Area after 33 years in LA. Have built a solid NA framily and fellowship. I know I need to get connected to a new area of meetings right away, but antsy about the whole process.

I’ve slowly started drinking less and less. And the less I’m drinking the more I realize just how much of my time revolved around alcohol. From going to get it, to drinking it to fighting hangovers. Now I realize I need something to fill all that time with. Especially now that I’m not spending all day saturday and sunday deathly hungover. I go for walks and run errands…but in a shock to me…there’s still a lot of time left. How did you start spending your time once you stopped drinking?
