My husband's job interview today via Zoom (which I overheard since I was in the room beside his office) made me realize something. He mentioned we're having a baby in September, and this probably helped him look good to the interviewer. If I said it, I'd be rejected. It's so messed up how pregnancy is a good thing for men's careers, but a problem for women's. Is this an accurate perception? Btw, I've had my job for years before this pregnancy, so we're fine.

My psychiatrist today revealed to me that I may have ADHD, still a hypothesis that he is still exploring but from my personal experiences and discussions with therapist, it seems likely.

One example of personal experience is my ongoing prep for case studies as I'm interviewing with a number of firms. I do struggle to keep focus and generally take a bit longer to finish them, specifically the structuring of the case. Does anybody else feel the same way and any recommendations to overcome this?

Can I use ey laptop to attend interview ?

Hello Fishes,

I have passed the TR and MR rounds at Cognizant. HR is saying they will schedule today but are not sending invites; this has been going on for a week; what does this mean?

My project client location in Denver started in person mandatory days. Few of colleagues started to go there. I’m confused as I was hired as PDM and I live in east coast and project is in west coast. My leadership is not forcing me anything and they left it to us but I don’t want to lose job because I’m not traveling. Any suggestions?

Hi Fishes,

[SERIOUS] Trump supporters, what does American “greatness” look like to you? Specifically, when POTUS says he wants to MAGA, what does “again” look like?

Currently have J1 as current employer used The work one for my BC. I looked at Equifax/ The work one to see if J2 uses that service, fortunately they don’t.
Question - if J2 runs a BC for J1 and Finds out I am still employed isn’t that a red flag?

How does your firm measure utilization? I work for a small boutique that defines it as utilization = number of billable hours/2,080 and full bonus payout occurs at 80% plus.

Looking to improve general communication skills (especially around structuring narrative/ key messages), any books/courses that you would recommend?

I have no idea where to post this, but is a anyone else super weirded out by LinkedIn lately? All these pictures of people using their kids as props for parental leave, or how their kid has a disorder and how proud they are? I just came across a post that was a woman lying next to her mom who had *literally* just died. I feel a little cold hearted saying it, but it is so over the top on what is supposed to be a professional network. Am I just totally out of touch?

I want to apply to other firms that might be offering more $$. Is this something that is looked down upon? Don’t want a former employee to report back that I’m looking for options. Advice?

Looking for a change. Can someone help

Hi, anyone here working in Lululemon Bangalore?

I’m passionate about gaming and I’d love to join the industry, but I’m wary because of some horror stories I’ve heard about working with big developers. Has anyone here worked with a Triple-A studio?

Thought this bowl will be fun when I joined but people are posting serious stuff here as well 🤔

What are some easy to make, low stress holiday meals for a school holiday staff party? I was "volunteered" by our principal to set it up this year (🙄). I'm making decorated sugar cookies but kind of drawing a blank when it comes to savory dishes. Bonus points if you have any adult holiday themed games or fun drinks to suggest! It's off school property and there will be a bar (thank god), for context.

Ladies, did you put on make up before your delivery for photo purposes?

Did you/would you get booster during pregnancy?

Creating my registry, what are some must haves to put on it! Doing Amazon and Target, thanks for the help in advance.

Hi everyone, have a noob question here. When did you share the pregnancy news with your employer? Not sure when it’s optimal to do that. :)

What is a good website to use to create a whole custom baby site?

Can folks share their experiences of working during 2nd and 3rd trimesters? How hard was it? What accommodations or adjustments did you make? I’m only in my 1st trimester now but will be starting a new job in October (4 months before my due date) and am nervous about not being able to be at my best

What is the most compact stroller you recommend? What is the difference ebetween using a travel stroller and a regular one?

How did you tell your manager you’re pregnant? Did it affect pay/promos? And then, subsequently, how did you start letting colleagues know you’re pregnant? Feels awkward to just randomly drop the news in a meeting! I work remotely so it’s hard to tell by video :) I’m 21 weeks and feel like I’ve waited as long as I can to at least notify my manager. I was waiting to negotiate my salary for next year but per company trend that doesn’t get set until January (manager reviews are written in Dec).

Going through a miscarriage at the moment. Was 5 weeks-ish in and did three days of HIIT workout and here I am. I’m young so not that sad but I just hope I don’t have to get the D&C surgery. :(

Anyone get their covid booster shot in 3rd trimester? My ob recommended it but I’m unsure if I should get it now or wait until after delivery.

Anyone taken the GD test after having covid recently? I have my test in 10 days and I'm currently recovering from covid.

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?

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!

Hi folks, need your help! Just found out that we’re pregnant (we were not actively trying so kinda surprised 🙈). What brand prenatal vitamins would you recommend? I’m seeing mixed suggestions on Folic vs. Folate - which one is important?

Please guide me and let me know if there is anything else I need to do at this moment. I’ve contacted my OB as well. I’m so worried. Thanks!

To those who have delivered. Are they still doing photography at the hospital after you deliver?

Last night I went over to my friends house (she has 2 kids, 2 and 4 yo). She and her husband were asking me about my pregnancy and planning. And were asking what I’ve prepped to date. I’m only 13w2 days so I think it’s way to early for buying stuff, but I did mention we hired a baby nurse for when the baby comes. My friend completely berated me, short of calling me a bad mom already, saying “what is she going to do all day? Don’t you want to bond with your child?”. I’m so upset by this.

Can anyone recommend a good online pre-natal Yoga class?

Received my first prenatal massage at 19 weeks today and the therapist was trained and did a bit of myofascial stretching techniques. Never touched my stomach. Just lower back, arms, legs and feet. I have had cramps in my abdominal area since a few hours after the massage. Not sure if it’s cramps or stretching pains. Drinking a ton of water to flush out toxins, but is this pain normal?

I’m having a really hard time with my changing body. 13 weeks, I don’t have too many bad side effects of pregnancy or anything so I consider myself lucky (no nausea ever etc) but I’m depressed at work, my skin is completely broken out and showing new broken face capillaries, and I’m not showing a bump yet so I just feel fat and big. I don’t know where this “glow” is but I look in the mirror and literally am grappling with not recognizing myself :( it’s been impossible to find any clothes too.

When did you tell work about your pregnancy?
