What do you all do to make non-professional / personal connections? Particularly with the Coronavirus, and being in domestic relations, I wake up, go to work, work out, go home. So outside of law, my interactions with people are only at the gym given that my area is draining— particularly at the moment. Probably a good thing for now; but if we take coronavirus out of the equation, I’m interested what others in the community do to develop personal connections.

What are tips/recommendations for a FET (frozen embryo transfer)? Any tests that you recommend should be performed? Any “home remedies” that should be applied? Some do/don’ts?

I was trying naturally (<1% chance of conception) and supposed to go on my first Clomid cycle now/near future. Is it irresponsible to try now? What do you all think?

I was just involved in a Teams meeting where it was announced that leadership is now creating a hybrid model. They clearly stated we will not be returning to the office that we left in 3/2020. This was shocking to me! Earliest back in office now set for Oct. More info to come. I was working from home 2 days a week pre covid, so we'll see what happens. I am in MN.

Been living in a luxury building for about a year and start noticing that I have a mild cough when I’m in the building. Thought it’s just something residual after my cold but then I went for a week out of town and it disappeared completely only to start again when I got back and stepped into my building. Anyone experienced anything like that? I’m not going crazy, am I?

So much baggage brought into the relationship. 2 years in and just discovered a whole lot more. Its been mentally extremely difficult and it’s changed me as a person. Just venting but feel hopeless and I know my SO is suffering. Wish there was a solution but I’m losing hope

How do i find out if I will be happier divorced or more unhappily staying married. 2 kids; 2 & 4 YO. They don’t hear the arguments after bed time and don’t understand the bruises yet but I know it’s just a matter of time. It would be so much harder not seeing my kids everyday than living with the pain, loneliness and lost friendships. But I’m tired. And so sad. Lost. So alone. Does anyone have something that turned it around? He changed? You changed so he did? Ayahuasca retreat maybe?

AMA- consulting/ corporate strategy/ M&A

Hey all! While I stay in quarantine to assess a potential COVID exposure, I figured I’d host an Ask Me Anything for the above topics/ career tracks.

I’m a 27 year old manager, who’s been in consulting for 4.5 years, directly out of college, in Accenture doing M&A strategy for Financial Services & Life Sciences. I’ll try to answer to the best of my ability (mostly everything except client details ofc).

I don't want to hear the judgement for this question. Isabel- I'm reaching a plateau in my weight loss. I'm average weight for my build but def on the heavier end. Is there a wight loss pill or hunger suppressant the industry recommends?

This job feels like it’s killing me slowly. Physically, spiritually, emotionally. Working to stay positive and opportunistic. Anyone willing to share solutions? I want to be productive and positive.

My ex and I have trouble remaining broken up. We’ve broken up over 9 times (9 times!). It’s dysfunctional, but we generally love being around each other and it feels comfortable. What to do? (Cont)

GV70 vs GLC 300 please cast your vote!
My fiancée and I have been struggling for this way too long (disregard the price)

I’m currently in a 1BR for $2400. Am I crazy to pay $3k for a studio in a much nicer building in the same area? My current building is trash and I realized having an updated kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room would be really nice, but not sure if it’s worth the price tag vs finding another place at $2500ish. I’ll be local for the foreseeable future even post-COVID

How predictable is IVF vs conceiving naturally? Would we theoretically have more control in a sense of getting pregnant exactly when we want to (give or take a few months) by having frozen egg/embryo ready to go in advance? Trying to plan around a very strict residency timeline is tough

Does Cerner provide sodexo card ?

My wife and I are both terrible housekeepers and our clutter is overwhelming us. We have two kids under 3 and a wonderful nanny but we need more help at home. How do we throw money at this problem? Where do we start to get ongoing professional help decluttering, organizing, cleaning, etc.? What has worked for you?

Good general resource on Freelancing 101? I've got an hourly rate put together, but want to get more research in on nit-picky things (LLC vs Corp, tax information, best practices, etc.)

Full-time, but doing my first moonlight freelance job. I want this to be the first of many. Should I start an LLC?

Been thinking about doing freelancing for a while. Anyone have any experience on freelancing for digital media sup/manager roles? How do you go about getting gigs or calculating rates? Pros/cons?

Has anyone freelanced (remotely) for a company overseas? How did you handle contract/payment?

Hi, I have a HR discussion with EXL this week for the post of manager.

What should be the fixed pay I should be asking for?

How long have you been teaching? Also, what does self care look like for you?

a few weeks ago we had a super busy day with scripts and i think i went into ‘autopilot’ because i don’t remember it happening, but i handed out the wrong prescription to someone (before you get mad, i only started a few weeks ago and i’m a junior assistant), out of all people i could’ve given the wrong medication to, it was a blind person. i have severe anxiety already and want to know some tactics to go back to work without guilt? i take guilt very heavy and struggle to get past it all

We are adding Ganirelix to our routine tonight - I’m pretty scared as the doctor said it can hurt even more than the menopur. 😱 Can anyone validate??

I joined OPTUM today so how soon we can expect laptop and goodies.

On average, how long should it take to prepare a position statement to the EEOC? Including fact investigation.

I’m currently signed on a contract for my first house for new construction that has gas heating. I have not lived in a house with this before and this entire time have been battling the anxiety of it even with detector. The house, location, and price is all everything I could dream of. Any advice on what to do in this situation?

AA looking for a project coordinator role. Any advice for making the jump?

CP asked 4 mod and it was brought up to ? his credibility. How do I get it in since its not about $ now? Judge granted 1wk 4 adtl exhibits

It’s a crazy feeling for someone semi close to you, to of “been in competition” with you. For years. And you’re just now noticing. Like, girl. Is that why you act so conversationally constipated from time to time? You’re just a hater? 😂😂

Hi gay lawyers in Boston! How are you all holding up during the pandemic?

For whatever reason, there are a ton of gay lawyers in Baltimore. On a regular basis,I've noticed myself, opposing counsel, and the judge are all gay. Anyone else experience this where they live?

Happy Thanksgiving all!

Hey everyone! Glad there is this bowl!

Where’s my trans & nonbinary fam at?

I keep hearing LGBTQ+ being referred to as “ The Alphabet Mafia”. I love this. I motion to fully embrace this trend by the community. All in favor, say “I”.

My partner (also an attorney) is getting top surgery next month, and it will be an inpatient procedure. Any thoughts on how to explain to my firm that I will be out of touch for a day or two without getting too far into the weeds? Should I just say surgery? That seems dramatic.

We all just grindin (work) or why so quiet?

Any Tampa Bay people in this bowl?? 😊

My fiance got Monkey Pox, it's no joke folks. Get the vaccine even if you aren't into the "scene." You rub arms with the wrong person or enter an enclosed space with someone who has mouth sores, it's going to be a bad time.

I am a bi man married to a woman. Everyone assumes I'm straight. I've considered joining the LGBTQ+ affinity group at my firm but worry on two fronts. 1) I generally feel....(continued in comments)

I have to tell my parents that I got engaged this weekend. They haven’t been taking the coming out well over the last year (i.e have isolated themselves from their community, screaming and crying when I’m on the phone with mom, dad hasn’t spoken to me since July). I’m incredibly nervous about this conversation. Going to have it in about two hours. Any words of advice?

Any Boston folks?

Anyone in New York City that can recommend queer legal communities other than just Lambda (which is great! Just want to broaden networking/community opportunities)

My office knows that I recently came out of the closet to my family- which is fine, but making me feel young. Feeling the need to overcompensate as a result.

Any gay folks who are the only gay person? I am the only lawyer for my company and the only gay person too.

(Family Law Attorney) Straight clients when their cases are not going my way: Accuse me of sleeping with their ex husbands Queer clients when their cases are not going my way: Come to me with genuine concern because their exes have put a curse on me and I'm being brainwashed to not work hard on their cases It's neat that all my clients who hate me also think that I'm an incredible lawyer who can do anything and am just choosing not to because of my sexuality/susceptibility to witchcraft

At a small firm, but I have another gay associate in my practice "group" super excited.

NYC, anyone going to the gala tomorrow?
