So weird I don’t remember joining this bowl (or why) but my new therapist recommended an ADHD assessment. I’ve been researching symptoms and can relate to a LOT of them (as a child and adult). I’m conflicted because I can stay organized when I track my daily routine (been using my daily planner consistently for 2 months yay) and I’m able to focus using Pomodoro technique. How do you differentiate b/w “normal” forgetfulness, time management issues, etc vs ADHD?

I’ve been informed that I need to do in vitro if I have kids. I would like to so would like to begin the process now while I’m younger. While PwC covers in vitro, if I choose to get pregnant in a few years versus today and freeze my eggs would they still cover it?

I'm a project engineer for a managed services company. I've been with the parent company for 15 years before moving to the subsidiary for a more technical position with better pay. Only woman on my team. Am I underpaid for my position at $74k in the deep south?

I just got back from maternity leave and my global project is already expecting me to work 7-7 some days even though I was very clear on my availability and time I need for my family. How do you all handle things like this? The amount of work and the sheer number of emails I get in a day is already insane and adjusting back to work is hard enough as it is.

I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place. I’m 34 not happy with my earnings after being in this field since 18. I can’t seem to advance even though I’m educated and experienced. I could go back to school for nursing and do well. School would probably take 2-3 years. My goal is to have a great career and not struggle financially. Now my husband who is 46 says let’s have a baby. Going to school will delay or potentially turn into me not having the family I always wanted. I feel I have to choose.

Baby carrier recommendations? I got the infantino but the padding on the shoulders isn’t great quality

My billable hours bonus requirement/target is 1900. Unless I pull a 300 hour month in December, I won’t be hitting that. The reason being is that in June, I had a parent pass which required me to travel overseas to take care of arrangements. I also had another family emergency in October that also required me to travel overseas. Do you guys think the firm will take this into consideration?

Hi all, I’m looking to re-enter the workforce. I had to take a career pause @ the beginning of the pandemic because I had a child. I have 5+ years of experience in life science (bench top, pathology in a hospital, startup, and most recently clinical research). I’d like to make a slight pivot into a health informatics, clinical data or data analytics position but I’m also open to non clinical research positions like regulatory/quality assurance etc. Does anyone have any recommendations? TIA

Anyone here who has a working spouse and 3-4 year old kid where both parents need to spend a good part of day on calls?
Interested to know how are you keeping the kid(s) engaged apart from TV and daycare and if there is anything I can take out a leaf from someone's book?

Anyone know how JPM's maternity leave policy compares with other firms?

I feel like my mum only ever looks for me when she wants money. Once i send it’s all good for her. I’m going through a lot being pregnant for the first time but she hardly randomly asks how I’m doing. Doesn’t even check on how preps for baby are going. PS my dad is late so she’s my best only parent.

Watching the trials of Gabriel Fernandez is breaking my heart and is also making me remember the abuse I went through as a child. RIP.

Anyone experiencing depression? I did a self assessment, and scored 2.5/5. Extreme fatigue, loss of joy and some level of loss of appetite ( not really experiencing prolonged sadness and trouble sleeping). If you are, are you seeking professional help? I’m 12 weeks pregnant. Had one serious depression episode during week 7, but has been getting better since. This week I feel like I’m getting back into the darkness again though. Is this gonna get better past trim1 or not really?

Did anyone else adopt the new Florida Wonders curriculum? We just adopted it this school year, and I teach 4th grade. My team and I have not found a good flow, schedule, or whatever you want to call it. We feel like it teaches too many skills in one lesson, and we are not able to truly teach anything “deep” enough for students to master. Does anyone have any insight? What do you do? Do you like the curriculum? Why or why not? Would you be willing to share what you do weekly/daily? Thanks!

What is a useful, comprehensive but not too long of a book for parenting toddlers?

LO is 16 months old, very sweet and social, at the park every day with other kids with either me or her nanny. Not in day care. Yesterday we had a play date and she slapped another baby on the head. Not hard and did not scare her, but the act of “aggression” took me by surprise and I felt terrible about it. I’d like to be more proactive about toddler psychology, what’s to come and how to react/ teach. TY!

As independence is heavily scrutinized in audit (and tax/advisory), what types of sidegigs have you seen Big4 firms approve? KPMG uses an example of “teaching a fitness class” in the annual independence confirmation as to what all requires approval (basically any and everything). I’ve dabbled in wedding planning. Is this likely to be approved? Exactly what all information does the firm ask you when you’re seeking approval for a side gig?

I figured it out. The data scientist wants to be a Chief (not THE Chief, because bowls have multiple Chiefs), so he posts wacky clickbait that we all respond to, which helps him level up faster.

Accenture allows its employees to define their compensation plan. Not everybody is a chartered accountant, if you get what I mean. Straight to the Q: How do you know what is the optimum basic, personal allowance, other allowance and HRA you should set on a fixed pay of, lets say, 18L. Sorry for my poor knowledge on this matter.

It has been a while since I have had to redo my resume and I am really wanting to up my game in looking for a new job.

Hi folks, I am looking for help with a career pivot. I am currently a startup founder looking to get into an early-stage high-growth tech startup in London and would love to guidance on where to start.

My current startup, although we have seen some success has not found the momentum required. I would love to take all of the energy and skills I have acquired to help grow another interesting high-growth startup, ideally under 10 people that would give me skin in the game. Where to start?

MBB/Strategy consultants with ADHD. What tips do you have for maintaining high performance on intense projects with long hours? Please include suggestions around medication too.

Has anyone used the Done. ADHD service? I’ve been thinking about using it since my psychiatrist is never available and ADHD clinics around me seem so expensive.

Diagnosed a few months back and have been trialling medication. Started on 10mg Methylphenidate where I felt like I had the energy to do things but kept forgetting the pills, now have been on Concerta XL 36mg for a few weeks and not really feeling any effects. Still find it hard to focus and get motivated on tasks and generally distractible. Should I ask my Psyc about a different med? Just feel a bit overwhelmed with the whole process so far.. sorry for the rant!

That moment when you don’t remember if you took your Adderall so you take one just in case 🙃

Is anyone else having issues with the pharmacy not having your meds in stock? At this point it’s a 50/50 shot if my local Walgreens has concerta in stock.

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?

I keep failing interviews because I’m not structured /crisp / polished enough (despite the creativity, insights and “intrinsics” being there) - has anyone else struggled with this? How did you overcome it? Has anyone used any communication coaches?

Anyone combine Modafinil with stimulant/concerta? Thoughts on ideal dosage combo which is long-term and sustainable 5 days per week?

Working on complicated case and sometimes forget/miss important details. Coming from non-business PhD background and ADHD aren’t helping. Any tools you use to consolidate large amounts of information?

anyone been on adderall for a while and it just stopped working? i’m getting distracted more easily than before and losing motivation, even for things i want to do. while this may be partially due to anxiety/depression, i’m wondering if anyone has switched meds/doses after being on adderall for a long time and found it to be a big help.
