Just got off Wellbutrin..I gained so much weight on it. I'm now on Effexor and what a difference it has made. I have much more energy and I've lost weight. Without it...I would not be able to cope with this WFH and self isolation.

Sorry to hear! What is the side effect? I just got it prescribed but haven’t yet started taking it...

Awful sleep. Would wake up 2-4 times a night. Constipation (wellbutrin is anticholinergic, meaning it causes less muscle contractions in the intestines).

It messed me up. Worsened my cognitive impairment and made me gain 50 lbs which have been impossible to loose

@Consultant...not sure but my concentration has been better....and not as depressed.

I’m fairly new to the FIRE movement. When calculating your percent of savings, do you use your take home pay amount net of all deductions? For example, I contribute about 20% of my paycheck to my 401K each pay period, so I’m not sure if I’m suppose to be including this retirement balance in the calculation. I won’t be able to pull from the account if I retire early as there are penalties fees.

Hey Fishes Need some insight on the CTC offered by EPAM Systems. 1. What all is included in their fixed part (PF, gratuity, Medical, Food coupon etc?) 2. What is percentage of basic pay from the overall fixed part? Like 40%, 50% 3. Are there any components which are not included in CTC but paid over and above? 4. Do they offer joining bonus for early or immediate joiners? 5. How is WLB, job security, work culture? For better reach Tata Consultancy Infosys Accenture Deloitte Wipro EY PwC KPMG

I started my firm recently (immigration) and am a true solo. I have experience in a few very specific case types and do lots of research, but don't have enough experience to easily strategize for each consult. I know this will come in time as I do more types of cases and have a background of knowledge to pull from, but I need to grow my business too. I think hiring a very capable paralegal would be the best option, but I'm paying myself 1k a week. I doubt I'd be able to pay an employee. Ideas?

Newly diagnosed & medicated and new to consulting.
I’m great with clients but getting bad evaluations because I’m slow to produce work and don’t take time to communicate status.
I’m trying really hard but I keep getting stuck in perfection loops and scared to share things before they’re perfect.

Did you struggle with this & find a way to improve? I’m terrified I’m going to get counseled out, but I love this job so much.

Does anybody else feel the need to work on projects with tangible applications/results? When I work on financial/IT work, I feel like the numbers are all floating in the air and don't really make a difference. On supply chain projects, I don't feel so much like I'm treading water because things are physically being moved and progress is easily measurable.

Need to brag- for the first time in my life, my performance review says "very organized".

First year medicated, I knew it was making a difference for me but seeing the evidence on paper is still crazy.

One method I’ve found helpful in developing solid “soft skills” in Big 4 consulting is to deeply educate myself across the field of social engineering.

1. Drove home 2 hours tonight only to realize 2 hours later that I forgot my laptop bag

2. Went out of town and left meat out the freezer. Called an uber driver to use my padlock to get into my place and put it back

3. Driven off with the gas pump in my car. Twice

4. Walked in, paid for gas, walked out, got in my car and drove off

5. Forgot gyro meat in my air fryer for 2 weeks.
