Thoughts on BCW’s COVID response (both internally and with clients)...go!

Have anyone tried Intermittent fasting and always feeling fatigue? I can't even do exercises anymore... I am 5'2 F, and weigh around 102 pounds. I am trying to lose some belly fat and a few pounds. Nothing big...should I try other methods other than IF?

I’m around 21 weeks and have been dealing with a lot of leg, tailbone, back, and general muscle pain. Since I do work long hours Monday- Wednesday (10hr +) I’m trying find a comfortable chair to switch to. Any recommendations? Currently I’m switching every hour or so between my kneeling chair and standing.

I’ve been thinking about looking for a new job, but given everything going on with the Coronavirus and layoffs, it doesn’t seem like this is a good time to start looking. What do others think?

I am moving to Bangalore the next weekend, by 17th July. Seems there is a slight increase in covid cases, would it be better to come now or should I ask my manager to come to office after some weeks once everything seems fine?

Best recent healthcare books related to improving our broken system? Atul Gawande’s books are a bit dated now I think.

Just finished An American Sickness again. Thank you!

How do you know when dependence turns into addiction? Where’s the line?

Thoughts on at-home pregnancy test 7 days post day 5 embryo transfer? Risks? Downsides? We have our blood test Sunday on day 9.

It’s the last day of the month! What’s the best thing that’s happened to you this month? I’ll go first. For the first time in 3 years, my biopsy results were negative. Hoping the second one has the same results and I’ll finally be free from this.

Are there any good apps to help a newbie get into weight training?

Any indoor basketball courts in downtown toronto I could go to for drop ins/21 etc. I used to play before but the pandemic took me out of routine and I'm looking to get back to the court during winter (hopefully somewhere indoors)

I have a therapist that I see twice a month and it has helped me to some extent. I feel like I’m in a general plateau. I feel like we are going through some repetitive themes that I see and understand. I have high functioning depression and I’m going through the “and what?” Phase of it all. Is this common? How do you move on?

I accepted a FADP offer but I have lifelong crippling anxiety It leads to (TMI) diarrhea, I can’t sleep at night, among a lot of other issues. I see a therapist and have their support in school accom. I appear high functioning and ever since uni went remote my life and performance has only improved. I know I’m capable of getting the work done and they must see potential if they hired me. But I feel that if I ask for WFH or other accom. I’m gonna be shooting myself and my career in the foot.

Hi everyone,
So I had my NIPT and NT scans last week and I’ve been getting pieces of the results back from my doctor in the patient portal. All seems okay but I’m a bit confused. Does anyone know if FirstScreen is the same thing as NIPT? I was under the impression that NIPT was in 90th percent of certainty for Down syndrome but the result we got, labeled FirstScreen indicate 83% certainty so I’m confused if there are more results coming? I messaged the doctor but haven’t heard back yet.

People that take medication, do you find that using marijuana in the evening helps with sleep?

It’s been 3 years since I (27F) moved to Seattle and still don’t have a solid social circle. Not necessarily a big group… I’m talking 3-4 friends who are easy going and not flakey/ hard to make plans with.

Idk if it’s due to Covid, Seattle freeze, a combination of the two or other factors. Any transplants out there who are NOT the outdoorsy type and feel the same? And if so, how did you get past it?

Think Covid is gonna get out of hand in the few months. Any stock recommendations in light of this?

Any advise for wrist pinch pain? (Not looking for the surgery route). I also have an ergonomic keyboard.

Offered a referral from someone at Deloitte but haven't heard back in 10 days since sending the job posting as they asked. I sent a follow-up email that has been read but still no reply.

Would anyone be willing to offer a referral for a Human Capital/Digital transformation position? I am worried the position will be filled as it has been posted for a month! Any leads would be appreciated and as always I am willing to sit down and chat with anyone!

Does anyone work in EC/VC (whether at a firm, a fund, or at a start-up)? I’m a general corporate associate and thinking of lateraling to a firm that focuses on this type of work, with the goal being to eventually go in-house. Would love to hear about any experiences.

Joining a big(ish)law litigation/investigations practice group in a few weeks. Only biglaw friends I have do transactional so I see what their schedules are like but not sure how lit compares.

Anybody have any insight into how lit is different? Is it more predictable/regular? Less? What do you think the major differences (beyond substance obviously) are between the two?

Anyone know if the NY office is going to get a face lift soon? It’s so old school and not very collaborative (or pretty) - jeallllous of all those offices I’m seeing that pull in some serious design!

Sooo ready for the holiday party on Friday.

Wow, last night was a blast in NYC! That coquito was fire! So fun seeing a full office again.
