Preparing now protects holiday joy before stress sets in.

The season can bring pressure—expectations, finances, family, and year-end burnout. Define what matters to you, set boundaries, and build routines that keep you grounded.

Employers: start early with morale committees, recognition, and planning. Care now creates continuity later.

Do any of the Big 4’s have an AI employee group/community of practice?

Are skills in MDM on the rise? What technical skills should be learned in addition to create a transferable skill set?

PDM at Deloitte and recently told my current PM that I receive an offer to be on a different project and would like to rolloff my current project. They told me they have to check their WOA before they can confirm my last date. Is this a legit reason or something they made up just so I can’t leave?

My challenge to everyone of you. Every leader, every future leader, everybody who will lead this industry one day: when we get back to normal, whatever that will look like, get personally involved again with recruiting, hiring and mentoring. DO NOT leave personnel decisions to HR, alone. DO Not rely on the parasitic temp agencies like creative circle and Aquent to do all the work. Get involved. Give a damn. A creative leader saw value in me, l assume someone saw value in you too. Pay it forward.

Anyone else long on AMT?

Any of you have parents who have never invested in the market or set up 401k all this time? They are very close to retirement (in a couple years) but I am shocked that they’ve kept their life savings all in a checking account😭 just found this out and don’t know what to do

Do VC funds value consulting experience? Weighing staying in Big 4 consulting vs going to a startup, while I try to crack into VC

Welcome to the HR Equity and Inclusion Bowl, let’s come together to discuss ways we can change organization culture, so that all staff feel a sense of belonging.

I’m a patent pros. paralegal working in bio/chem at my firm, 26 yo with an MS in Chem at 100k and a 115 hr billable req.
After the mental beat down that was grad school, I’m happy to have straightforward tasks and mentally coast, but my attys want me to start studying for the patent bar asap.
I like where I’m at and I know that once I start down the tech spec/agent/attorney path, it’s going to be full speed. How long do you think I can/should stay in this position before starting to study?

Partners - do recruiters/headhunters ever reach out to you? What types of roles/levels do they reach out for?

When you independently search for other opportunities (if you do), what types of roles do you look for?

I thought the answer is yes but now double checking. Can we write off the interest we pay on our primary residence mortgage?

Anyone know how to be selected for Prestige 40 under 40? Don’t think can apply

I’m feeling anxiety about Coronavirus. Does anyone else think that the virus is being used by the government for population control? I don’t know if I’m paranoid.

How does someone like Elon Musk can go on to do so much while I can barely get out of my bed, keep my job and have the will to live?

Is anyone utterly confused about what they want to do long-term?

All of my friends seem to have surpassed me in salary over the last few years while I’ve taken a pay cut then got laid off. I feel like a loser.

Opinions on AbleTo?

I’ve been depressed for years now and this past week I lost a dog I’ve had for 15 years; he was one of the only bright spots in my life and I’ve just found it so hard to focus or motivate myself on anything after this. I genuinely feel like I’m at rock bottom, Idk if I’m crazy to feel that way bc of a dog but I used to be able to control this and put up a front but now my depression and anxiety are starting to leak into my work conversations completely unintentionally, I wish this would stop :(

I can’t keep up with the pace of consulting. Is there something wrong with me? Is there room in this world for someone who just wants to slow down?

How does everyone manage SAD during the winters. Feeling so down and not sure what are the best ways to cope.

Anyone else worry about talking to a therapist if they have a security clearance? It just doesn’t feel private if the govt can interview them

I just started taking mirtazapine again b/c depression has completely taken over my life.

Not looking forward to the weight gain 😕

What’s the thought that keeps you from giving up?

I suffer from depression. Currently on 150mg Venafaxcine. It seems my depression is worse in the day and I come alive at night. Has anyone experienced this with or without Venafaxcine?
I work remote and I'm currently on the bench. I'm worried because my utilization is low...Im trying to learn new skills and sleepy during the day it makes it hard. I don't get sleepy until 3am because I'm wired/hyped up. I don't know what to do. Without the meds, I won't be able to get out of bed...

I see a lot of people who have crippling anxiety here work out to feel better. My crippling anxiety kind of paralysis my legs (or at least feels like it to the point that I can’t even walk). Does anyone have similar symptoms and solution for it?
I am in therapy right now but just wanted to hear from someone who is also going through it

Sharing some positive vibes! After getting a massage and a haircut, I felt so much better !!! Making small changes everyday!

I’ve had a bad case of work anxiety ever since I started a new job ~7 months ago. The adjustment was ROUGH. I was making mistake after mistake. I powered through and somehow got glowing reviews at year end, with people saying I’ve moved past that point.

I’m convinced I’ve only tricked people and sooner or later they’re gonna catch on. I have extremely bad Sunday scaries, I’m always fighting down my anxiety whenever a new ask comes through. I don’t know what to do.

Any CBd/hemp oil brands that has worked for you guys?

Abused and isolated as a kid. I have terrible memory. Like I don’t really remember the past few months except in broad strokes and memories of my childhood are more non existent than existent. I’m working through this with my therapist. Does anyone have any experience with emotional and memory repression? Curious on your advice

Coming off anxiety meds, withdrawal symptoms are terrible. Panic attacks and crying on client site (in private) daily. It’s obviously affecting my performance - how to tell my manager?

Just started Zoloft. Can I drink? I know it’s I’ll advised, but will it destroy my liver or just add to the depression?

When it comes to therapy do I look up a place online and make an appointment or do I need some sort of referral? Not sure if I need to see a therapist or physiatrist really.
