I relocated alone for work and the weekdays are easier than weekends. During the week the job gives structure, but weekends make the distance from home feel much bigger. I knew missing family would happen, I just didn’t expect it to hit most when nothing is scheduled. What helped you build a life outside work after moving?

It gets better OP..relocated alone as well just before covid shut down the world and it was the loneliest period of my life..try joining local groups for any interests you have, there are also apps like Bumble BFF that you could use to network and meet with people. It’s not a bad idea either to try asking a coworker or two out for coffee or drinks on a weekend to expand your circle.

Trying to have faith but my recent cycle netted 16 eggs, 8 fertilized and only 2 made it to day 5 for testing. There were 3 others that just didn’t mature.

Just tired, still bloated and not feeling all that hopeful as we enter this LONG wait until we get the results next week. I hate feeling like this knowing my chances are getting slimmer by the day.

Hey everyone! At what stage do you think it would be appropriate to share that I am currently on an H-1B work visa? I got reached out by the CEO regarding an opportunity they are recruiting for. I applied and have made it to the final round of interviews that’s this week. In the application they didn’t ask about sponsorship or anything, and I didn’t want to automatically disqualify myself by telling them before giving my final round presentation. My final interview is Tuesday.
