My diet consists of peanut m&ms and chicken nuggets. Send help 😂

Feeling deflated going into R1 due to a below average gmat score. I’ve taken the test twice now and just can’t seem to conquer it. Sometimes I wonder if it’s even worth it to apply

Looking for some actual information and respectful discoursed, not anecdotal stories or whataboutism, please.

With the high transmission rate of the Omicron variant, what is the likelihood of achieving some semblance of herd immunity? The very real & dark prospect of another 250,000 deaths by April 1st (15MM infections w/ 1.62% mortality) would mean a 30% increase in cases, which is realistic with a R0 value exceeding measles. So with the additional cases + 60% vaccinated, will it just die off?

Has anyone quit consulting and boomeranged back in 2 years? I am exploring other options but the company I am looking at has notoriously difficult culture. Hence, if it doesn’t workout, need a backup.

IVF is such an emotional rollercoaster, and our healthcare system doesn't make it any easy! Just got ripped by pharmacy. They charged 17K for round 1 drugs, which exhausts my 10K pharmacy claim.

How are the gyms looking? Is equinox making everyone wear masks? Are things still spaced out? Have there even been cases of covid linked to some gyms?

I use The Ordinary Caffeine serum and Peter Thomas Roth eye patches for my eyes, but does anyone have suggestions on a great under eye color corrector? Thank you!

Anyone else schedule private meetings in the middle of the day so you can go to the gym?

I’ve taken Adderall for several years & it has helped a lot for my ADHD. However, recently I have been increasingly overwhelmed with balancing work, school, & home life. I am really struggling to manage my symptoms even while taking the maximum ER dosage. I recently started taking Strattera as well, but haven’t noticed much improvement. My doctor has suggested switching to Vyvanse instead. What are your thoughts on Vyvanse vs Adderall? Has anyone has had more success with it?

Things ended with a guy I really liked because he is in a depressive episode and says he doesn’t have energy to give to the relationship. Things were so good. We were so happy. I know I can’t blame him for this as he has mental health issues he’s working through, but damn this sucks.

I have been alcohol free for 2 months but I use MMJ to focus. My dr prescribed MMJ because I don’t want pharma drugs like Adderall. Is there a place for me in AA or is it all (sobriety) or nothing?

Anyone knows what the COVID test requirements are for fully vaccinated US residents traveling back to US?

Got a second razer deathadder mouse for work set at the same sensitivity as my razer at home. Hopefully it will improve dexterity while i use it 8+ hours a day

11/4 check-in: Happy Friday, friends! What are everyone’s workout plans for today?

Can anyone recommend an endocrinologist? Specifically for Hashimotos. Thanks in advance

Sure the Peloton spot is bad. But can we all agree that NordicTrack one is just as bad? Maybe worse?

I’m thinking about leaving the clinical side of healthcare within the next year. Insurance dictating treatment is causing too much mental strain. Plus companies focused on the bottom line and not patient care

Kind of a random question, but does anyone have any advice on dealing with someone with borderline personality disorder?

Does anyone have any recommendations on personal trainers? Currently workout at equinox but can’t justify the premium they have on their trainers.

My under eye bags bother me ever since I am a teenager and I am considering lower blepharoplasty. Anyone has done it and can shed some insights on results & downtime?

I find myself in workshops and meetings, groups of 15-20 people, and I’m always the only woman. In my entire department, there are no other women. I’m getting to the point where I’m feeling defeated and burnt out. I’ve been working in male-dominated environments my entire career (over 10 years) and I’m losing motivation. Any tips or words of advice to get out of my mental rut?

I’m starting to think there is a very dark side to marketing. My whole job is basically manipulating people into spending money, often money they can’t afford. I’m really starting to question my career.

For people who use Click Up, what is your opinion?

How late can i show up to dip manicure? Salon closes at 7 so does that mean my manicure has to be done by 7?

What's the general sense from Corp attys on GAFAM (or GAMAM) quarterly numbers due to come out this week? Anybody optimistic? I'm dreading bad numbers but hoping for the best.

Trying to think of media properties and initiatives to illustrate the brand archetypes of Magician, Outlaw, and Sage (beyond the typically cited CPG brands). For example, Vice media could be seen as Outlaw, Mayo Clinic as Sage... other suggestions?

Question: If you’re sued by another driver (at fault accident), and represented by your insurance company, do you pay the settlement fees/judgment award, or does the insurance company pay that?

Any diplomatic tips to get interns/juniors to work faster?

Without having ever experienced the hectic nature of being in the office, ours seem to be working at a snail’s pace (3 billable hours to copy 4 blogs over to a different platform? With no SEO or image research? Dream on... 🐌) and considering it to be working under pressure. I’m not expecting the world from them and understand it’s a learning experience... but also want them to be working faster to be able to take more on. Unreasonable?

Do you see yourself working in the agency world your whole life? What are the cons/pros for anyone in their 50s? I never see my kids anymore since I travel/work late.

Hi everyone! Greetings from Boston where Hyundai’s Smaht Pahk has already been voted as best SB ad of all time.

Hi folks, I need to find a good criminal lawyer in Bengaluru to handle a case for my family. I’m living in the US, so struggling to find someone reliable. Any suggestions/recommendations?

Cant wait until the work day is over so I can nap.

If you could go back in time to 1mo before covid hit, knowing it would, what would you do?

Holy shit I'm the first one here 😓 #ronery

What does your ideal agency look like? Who's in charge? What kind of clients does it have? What policies do they have that make it the best place to work?

Wondering the benchmark for salary of a graphic designer with seven years experience in New York City?

I recently cleared all technical rounds for Global Technical Support Engineer 2 role at PayPal, I have 3.3 YOE. Could anyone please let me know how much does PayPal on average offer for this role.

What books did you read this year that you wish you read earlier and have made a positive impact in your life? (Investment and non-investment related)

I have heard that Goldman Sachs is rescinding offers of temporary contract workers. I have an offer letter from Goldman Sachs Bangalore for a full time permanent role and am already on notice period. There is still 2 months for the joining date. Is there a hiring freeze coming? If yes, will they rescind offers that have already been made? Goldman Sachs

~6 weeks pregnant (IVF and PGT tested embaby) and spotting again.
First time was last week. I freaked out. Went to doc, they said everything is fine.
A few days later it started again. Very light, brown.
Anyone else experience this? Reason to worry?

At 8 weeks I’m so exhausted that I can barely function or think straight. Taking midday naps, shutting down early, but I have no energy to work beyond the bare minimum, and especially not for house chores. I feel so guilty but I just want to sleep even though there’s so much to do. Help.

Random thought. I would describe the tiredness you feel in pregnancy like a heavy stone tied to you that just drags you down and you’re too tired to care or try to fight it.

For me it’s not super constant or frequent but when I get that tired I feel like I become part of my mattress. 😂😴

I had *just* gotten back into running (2 weeks) when I found out I’m pregnant! Great news, but would you keep running? Doctor says it’s up to me.

Ughhhh I feel so nauseous all day every day. I’m 8 weeks today and miserable. I have never felt such a constant unwavering nausea.

3 reasons my husband is ready to be a dad, even though he’s never changed a diaper.

1. His text is so big on his phone you can see it 2 rows back and across the aisle on the plane
2. He yells at the tv analysts on cable news
3. He laughs at and makes corny jokes

Here we go, 24 weeks and counting!

Any opinions on Hyundai Tucson vs Kia Sorento? We’re expecting our first so we don’t really need three rows yet, but we’re planning on keeping this car for 5+ years and we might want a car to grow into. I guess I’m wondering whether it’s worth it to pay more for the extra space at this stage or if we should upgrade later.

6w3d and have had manageable nausea for the past few days but since early this morning I have felt horrendous. The absolute sickest I have ever felt. I have thrown up hundreds of times in the past few hours and cannot keep down a bite of cracker or a drop of water. I have ordered b6 and unisom. Has anyone felt like this and have it quickly subside? Or should I expect to feel like this for a while? I have a work trip this week beginning Monday and there is no way I can go if I feel like this

If you stopped driving while pregnant, when and why?

Can you eat beef jerky while pregnant? Seeing a lot of mixed results online

Week 6 and can hit very dizzy spells. Anyone else experience this? Is this the nausea side of morning sickness? I can’t even look at my screen let alone run a call

Here 28 weeks pregnant and tired of hearing you would need to do this for better lactation, you would have sleepless nights. Can a new mother not figure out on her own with the right scientific knowledge ? Is it important to go by what your parents , in-laws or known ones tell you ?

Hello! I’m only about 4 weeks pregnant, so super early. I am about to go on vacation and thankfully did a quick search on some “dos and donts” for the first trimester. I am v disappointed to see I shouldn’t do saunas and hot tubs as my vacation was really planned to be all relaxation. But it got me thinking, could you all share the most surprising pregnancy do or don’t you’ve encountered? I feel like I just need a master list cause there seem to be so many limitations 😭

Hi! 26.5 weeks and already feel done. Gonna be a long 3 months from here.

Hey everyone. I found out we are expecting our first child and I’m really nervous. I got into consulting one year ago and I’m up for promotion this year. With timing of our performance conversations I would have to inform I’m pregnant before outcomes - then shortly after the promotion effective date I would go on a leave for due date. I’ve worked really hard and I’m worried our wonderful news will throw chances with this :(- also if I don’t get promoted pretty sure it’s up or out. Any advice?

How soon after ovulation did you test ?

Please give me remedies for acid reflux. Tums just isn’t cutting it anymore. Did anyone else have really bad acid reflux and do something/eat something/take something besides tums that worked ? Looking for a miracle here. Third trimester and I’m just miserable all around so any relief even just on the acid reflux part would be life changing at this point!!!

Hello and congratulations to you all! About to be a first time father, as my wife is due in the first week of the new year ☺️

I couldn't be happier and I'm so glad this community exists for us to share all the joys related to new life. So happy for you all! 💕

Has anyone done CVS or/and Amniocentesis? How painful? Thanks!
