Recently promoted, and starting as a lead this week on a massive project. Also, same time, morning sickness is hitting me like a ton of bricks. How do you deal?? I’ll take any advice as I can’t take every meeting off camera and in the fetal position..

Definitely b6 my OB recommended no more than 50mg and having something to eat the moment you get up.
It took me a long time to realize that it’s the empty stomach that’s making my morning sickness worse.

I was taking it in the morning

Half a unisom and b6 (google diceglis) before bed kept me human, and CITRUS! When I got to about 9 weeks I’d have to take it twice a day but it went away completely around 13 weeks. Good luck!

Before bed, held me over for a full day for a few weeks, then I took another mid day once that wasn’t enough. I tried to line it up with diceglis dosing. It was rough because I did get tired but at least I wasn’t puking lol.

Honestly, tell your manager. That’s what I did, and I got an incredible amount of support. I was off camera when I needed to be. I blocked my calendar off when I needed to. And my MD and the team I was working with stepped in to help and cover anything I couldn’t do due to feeling ill

Unfortunately I’m only at 6 weeks and haven’t even told family yet, so I don’t know if I’m there yet.. but if I can’t find any remedies that work, I will have to let them know ASAP. I’m so glad to hear you had a positive experience sharing!

Update: I’ve been taking unisom & b6 before bed, and then eating toast the second I wake up, and then eating every two-ish hours with supplemental ginger candies/ginger ale and I still can’t get out of bed the nausea is so bad. I’m either thinking I’m on the verge of throwing up, or I’m actually getting sick. I’m also getting super light headed and dizzy and slightly out of breathe if I stand up too long, which has basically rendered me a couch/bed hopper. Is it time to call the doc for something more substantial? It’s been over a week

I got a prescription for Zofran over the weekend because my nausea has been unbearable. It works, but the side effects are terrible (i.e., dizziness, heart palpitations).

Pwc AC Hi all,

Two weeks back I was asked to share my documents for an entry level role in PwC AC. However, post document submission I have not received any further communication from anyone in the company. I am really confused and don't know who to contact. Can anyone suggest a solution.

One of my coworkers started complaining that I didn't wear a mask on a Zoom call, because I might "infect the people coming into my house". That so-called person is my house cleaner, and we're both triple vaccinated and are fine not wearing masks. Should I tell my coworker to mind their own business?

State your position + one thing you hate about your job and one thing you love.

I've completed the final rounds for 2 companies: AWS as an L7 Principal PMT and another that's a Series-A funded startup in the HCM space. I expect offers from both: AWS around $400k TC ($250k base + $150k stock) and the startup should be around $300k TC ($250k base + 20% bonus). If comp wasn't the ONLY consideration, what would you do? The AWS role will be an IC role and more hands-on/technical. The startup will be a CPO role reporting to the CEO with a team of about 50 devs+PMs.
