Today I have been trying my hardest to job searches and do side gigs, but I seem have caught a cold. I should have known it wasn't the best idea to help my kid with doordash 2 days in a row. Have you been sick lately and how is it affecting work life? Also has the winter affected you as well? You can talk about past experiences if needed.

Also what is your works sick policy past and present? I remember having to go in with a serious illness due to lackluster polices, but my kid seems to be able to miss once every month at her job.

I was down and out with the flu a few weeks ago and I couldn't have accomplished anything during those days. I was honestly surprised how hard it hit me, I haven't been sick like that in ages. It does seem like it has been a hard winter for a lot of people, and it's been made worse as the bug going around is highly contagious and severe. Let's hope spring gets here quickly and the economy also thaws out somehow.

I’m so sorry to hear that. Thankfully, I haven’t gotten sick at all this year (knock on wood). There’s been so much going around, but I’ve managed to stay healthy. I really hope you start feeling better soon. 💛

My husband and I are just starting our TTC journey starting with Letrozole and timed intercourse. I’m planning my 30th birthday trip to Italy in June. Is it too risky to travel if pregnant during the first trimester (in case I do end up pregnant before June)?

Was approached by a SVP and hiring manager of another IB shop.

We talked, went great, he texted comp range etc. sent me a resume template to use, filled it and sent. He was waiting to hear back from MD, MD got sick.

He took resume to HR actual and said I’d hear from them. Haven’t heard anything week or so later.

Haven’t texted VP much as I don’t want to be creeper but really interested. Not sure how to engage at this point. At some level it seemed like a home run.

Do you have many LGBT friends and do you necessarily care if you do or don’t? I have one gay friend who I catch up with occasionally and I think my husband has two. I never really cared either way about it, however I feel like I’m at that point where you primarily make new friends through existing ones, and they are having children and making other “parent” friends. Between that and living in a SFH neighborhood in the suburbs, I’ve changed my viewpoint over the last few months.
