Ladies - I am 45 and seemed to have hit menopause. I have had a extremely high stress life all my life. Suddenly I am feeling numb emotionally. My doc says it’s early for me to hit menopause and cortisol can cause this. Has anyone dealt with this ? What has helped ? I am debating HRT and don’t like the idea of doing something not natural. Looking for your thoughts and suggestions. Thanks

I actually started perimenopause at 35 and was feeling this like intense depression, like severe burnout that I just could not "fix." Eventually found out it was perimenopause and got put on HRT and after about a month I feel like a normal human again!!! Cannot recommend it enough. For the stress, if you can take ashwagandha, rhodiola rosea, and/or relora it will help a lot. Granted, it wouldn't backtrack menopause if that's what's going on, but would help with stress.

Definitely not too early and also premature menopause effects a lot of people! Would consider speaking with somebody else honestly. Absolutely to each their own, and there are a ton of natural things to try, but it was a huge change for me when I started on medication.

Thanks C1. What medicine are we talking about. HRT?

Yes - I started peri-menopause about that age. Your hormones start going wacky it’s like puberty again.
Your doctor is wrong.
Research perimenopause - follow peri- and menopause accounts on FB or IG to get better sense of the range of what people experience. There’s no one size fits all answer. You need to really learn what your body needs, and also realize that will evolve.

Any one make a move from fund admin after big 4 assurance and then was able to make a pivot to a PE fund accounting team? I am considering moving to a fund admin now. Have 9+ years of big four experience. Worried that I can get stuck in fund admin. But I have interviewed at several big name pe shops and make a few rounds on interviews but then get the same feedback that they are worried about my lack of operational experience.

Hey all, Happy Monday. Curious for feedback on how you've seen severance offers approached.

My prior companies have always been what I thought of as average: min of 2 weeks plus extra week for every year for ICs, min of 4 weeks plus extra week for every year for managers, etc. for Directors & beyond.

Current co refuses to offer more than 1-2 weeks, max. I had to go to bat recently for a 3 year + manager level only to get 3 weeks and my leadership team is NOT happy with me.

Thoughts?
