Okay, it’s time to stop putting on a face about this. I love my boyfriend so much, but covid is ruining us. We are both still WFH and argue every few days about the dumbest stuff. My and his mental health are both diminishing and it feels like an impossible trench to dig out of. My stomach hurts every time we fight and I (independent of him) feel so stuck in this horrible global crisis. I don’t want to lose him, but I need to figure out how to dig us both out of this unsustainable mental state.

As a remote worker, I feel like I'm not getting enough recognition for my contributions because no one was physically there to see them or talk about them with me directly.

Hello all. My experience in healthcare is pretty niche, almost exclusively in Neurodiagnostics and surgical neurophysiology but I am trying (desperately) to transition out as the burnout is incredible. I have a masters in healthcare management but not much experience. I’ve only had 2 interviews in 2 years but I’m told that I’ve been applying for jobs I’m overqualified for so that’s why. The only requirements I have for a new job is no call/weekends. Any suggestions on what/where to look? Tysm

Looking for a remote position in tech trans, please send any my way. Firm or in house. Thanks!

Any good outside activities (math related) that I can do? I have Nerf guns and remote control cars I could use.

Which move makes most sense for long term career growth? Landed two opportunities:
(A) Product manager at big pre-IPO startup
(B) Stanford GSB’s 1-year MSx program.

Other factors:
-Both involve relocation to US
-Unhappy at Accenture Strategy, seeking exit
-Interested in product but never done it
-PM role is a step down (mid-level; I’m a Snr Mgr now), but comp is similar
-The startup’s growth may slow post covid
-I have grad school FOMO and feel I need some brand after working at Accenture

I had an interview this past week for a position I had applied to. Following the interview, I was referred by the talent manager to another position. The position I was referred to, and have an interview for this week, is titled Solution Architect. This is a remote position is in Biotech and was curious if anyone had insight for salary expectations would be, or what I would say bottom line would be?

TLDR: Getting over your ex of 2.5 years ghosting you after they said they wanted to reconnect.

I was dating someone for about 2.5 years and then we broke up because of COVID and the long distance was making it too difficult to continue. The break up must’ve been like a 4-5 minute FaceTime because I was very distraught. After we broke up, she started seeing someone else but I was heartbroken and it’s taken me over a year to really get over everything and process those feelings. (Cont.)

Fun activities to do for the Covid cautious? New to the city, and I’m not comfortable with public dining so looking for some inspiration! Doesn’t have to be outdoors as long as it’s masked if indoors.

Anybody else incredibly grateful to be able to WFH while pregnant. Don’t know how other women can do it tbh

I have a senior director who needs a PIP. Plan was to meet w him today to start phase I (formal Learning Plan). Got a Teams msg middle of the night that he's in ER w gma. Ordinarily, I'd wait a few days at least, but the performance issues are real, have been going on (despite feedback and support) for months, and impact rest of team. He has issues w health, family, etc. at least monthly. I've worked hard to build a warm, supportive team and struggling now. Would appreciate ideas!

As per the current covid situation I have to work remotely and relocate once the situation is normal.
I wanted to know about the work culture in deliotte and other insights. Can you guys educate me ?

Anyone had case involving modification based on school response to COVID-19

I’ve been searching for an HR Manager or Senior Generalist Position for months. I check all the boxes on experience and SHRM cert but no degree. I can’t get past the ATS. If I do get contacted the degree is the deal breaker. Any company referrals or recommendations? In San Antonio are a or remote would be most ideal.

I would like to ask for a few recommendations of books that is related to mental health or psychology

My sibling told me to call their in-law, who lives with them, and wish them a happy birthday. I would normally go over for any special occasions they host, but otherwise not really interact with the in law at all. I didn’t go this time because they have covid rn, but AITA for not calling?

Moving to Philly Nov 1, just signed a lease in Queen Village. Coming from LA where I was part of a volleyball group and had a lot of options at the beach. Suggestions on making friends and being active (while still being respectful of covid rules & health of all)? 36 F

Currently working at a behavioral health and addiction facility and struggling. Way more dysfunction and toxicity amongst staff than other jobs I’ve had. Has anyone else had this experience?

Easiest way to remove a bracelet at home? Have a Hamilton Khaki Navy Scuba and want to replace the bracelet with a rubber strap I ordered from Barton. Most jewelers are closed here in Chicago with recent events... don’t have a tool specifically for this. What’s the best route to take?

My Vyvanse meds make me pretty dehydrated. No matter how much water I drink, my mouth is still dry plus it makes me end up needing to use the bathroom often. Any tips for dealing with both of these issues?

For advertising folks: is it common to have an offer rescinded and put on hold because of “restructuring” on the clients side?

Hey habibis expats! The market in Dubai is obscure when it comes to compensation and benefits. I suggest we add clarity by posting salaries, role/position and years of experience here and anything else you want to add such as benefits. I’ll start:

- Industry: tech
- Role: finance manager
- YOE: 5 years
- Comp: 270k aed/year + 5% bonus
- Other benefits: work from Europe/US 1 month/year, 30 vacation days

Wanting to start therapy for social anxiety/depression but no idea where to start. Those that see a therapist, how often do you usually go? Ball park price range? Has anyone tried online therapists?

Pardon my ignorance as I am a newly promoted manager from industry to B4, but how does the staff have over 168 billable hours within a week? That’s more than working 24 hours/day for 7 days/week...

Would you take a pay cut (about $7k) to get into HR? I only have experience in training and development (with a masters in HR management), and those jobs are just not coming up. I may have the possibility of finally entering the HR world “officially”, but it would be a lower ranking, lower paying position. Is it worth it just to “get in” initially?

The buy now, pay later loan project Walmart is working on sounds like it will be problematic and will not be the money-making system they are hoping it is going to be.

This is a pretty broad question but: any tips on getting your resume seen by a recruiter/hiring manager without a referral? Does reaching out to people outside your network via LinkedIn really work? How would you suggest tackling the job market today?

Thanks in advanced :)

Considering moving to Denver. Haven’t been in NYC since March, and I’m not really looking forward to going back. Anyone else having similar thoughts/struggles?

Do you things were better when celebrities had strict marketing and media teams? Coonye's latest rant made me think about this. I mean celebrities have always said out-of-pocket things but I feel like in the 90s and 2000's it was less frequent. Maybe it isn't a great idea for every famous rich and powerful person to be able to share whatever they want whenever they want in 240 characters or less.

Is there any value for AWS SysOps /w Security certification?

Looking to transition from consulting to secops and this seems like a good path. Any recommendations?

I'm not at an ideal weight yet but I've been exercising more and losing weight and my testosterone is going crazy really just want to get down to be honest LOL. 😅

Just started as a first year at an ID firm in soflo. Had no idea what I was getting myself into or that 2400 hours was out of the ordinary. I expected to get grinded and paid “low” but now I’m scared that I won’t be able to get out of ID based off what I’ve been reading and make real money like I had hoped. Any advice on getting out/when if it’s too soon?

Desi fish I am approaching one year with my firm and GC process hopefully will start . Can anyone please timelines till I140?

I’m shooting 3 talks tomorrow, none of the talks have been written. I can’t stop thinking about him.

It’s been six weeks since he broke up with me and I feel like I’m still in shock. Like I’m in a nightmare I can’t wake up from. I just can’t believe he left me when he always said he never would.

My friend invited me to hang out with her and her friends because I was feeling very sad about my breakup. Three of her friends end up hitting on me and just really invading my personal space. I honestly thought they had a joke or game of some sort. I tell my friend it makes me uncomfortable because it’s not something I’m looking for atm. She says I should take it as a compliment, but the only thing I feel is disgust that I now have to look forward to guys only wanting me for my body 😔

How do you actually find a decent person to date when you’re working 80+ consulting hours? Like seriously...everyone I know who recently got engaged or married had been long term dating since high school or college. What has worked for people?

Had another dream about my ex. I asked him questions on why he changed. He answered just let go. I think now my brain is finally starting to fully acknowledge there is only one path forward.

What are some thoughts that get you out of your breakup sadness zone? I need to borrow them.

1. Have a better life than the one you imagined with him
2. Build a big life. Being rich and famous solves everything.
3. Mind your business. Be the main character in your story.

My boyfriend is texting his best friend's girlfriend. He openly says "oh i texted her about x" to me and I believe him...but my concern is that they're going to start some sort of flirtationship. She's some sort of model and has even told her boyfriend that my boyfriend is funny whereas she says her boyfriend is obnoxious. Is this something to worry about? We're not in a great space right now so Idk what to think.

I finally move out in two days and as the day gets closer, it gets so much harder. I love him and it hurts. Even right now, I’m still living with him and I’m in the living room watching tv and he’s working at his station. I think soon I’ll just be occupying my own time alone and not with the person I love. Idk how people do this.

My boyfriend doesn't like to talk about his feelings. It's the time of year where he lost his sister (passed away) very suddenly and idk how to bring it up to him. I want him to know I know it's that time but feel like he'll just yell at me.

The worst part of my breakup is the urge to obsess over his happiness with the woman he cheated on me with. Any tips?

I was okay and then randomly saw photos of my ex that i didnt know existed in my message history to my friend (i deleted everything related to him the day we broke up) and it has brought back all the memories and pain. It has already been over two months. I hope this can go away.

I am devastated. Ive been with my boyfriend for almost 4 years we were taking about getting married and having kids. Then I discovered he was also in another relationship - 2 years in.
He promised her all the same sweet stuff. I'm trying not to be too hard on myself but I'm not sure I can recover from this.

Welcome! Feel free to share any stories about marriage, divorce, other personal issues, etc. This group is to support, and provide POSITIVE advice/feedback to women who might be struggling with a personal issue. Keep it clean, keep it classy, keep it positive. Thanks!

How are all the lovely ladies doing today?! It's one of those days for me... Trying very hard with every breath to not check his profile and see what he's up to...
He broke up with me almost 2 months ago and it's just been death.
Some days very good and busy and powering through. Other days are hell. Pure hell

How many chances can you give someone?

I got ghosted after a year of serious dating. It's been months this has happened but every night I lay in bed and think of how he repeatedly said "I'll always be here for you, no matter the outcome" and decided to do this anyway.
Anyone believes in karma? Do you think he'll pay for this?
I need this constant dull ache to stop....

Hope everyone is doing well and happy, recovering from the heart break ❤️
