Guys please reply with some useful information. It's my first time

You must be sajju then!

Take insurance before they land. Don't go over 50k individual coverage. Most of serious conditions would not be covered by these so called global insurance companies. You have to pay upfront no mAtter which insurance you choose. I will pray that your parents don't need to go to hospital and enjoy trip. If you need basic consultation check with desi docs if they do it at flat fee. Generally around 100 bucks. Also cvs minute clinic in case of weekend visit. Don't go to emergency unless absolutely requires. Ask them to get 2 times of any medication they had taken in last 3-4 years. You can't get medication courier later.

Also as backup get insurance from india. I spent 30k in India and 500 usd here just to have things covered

Thanks D2

Hi! My peloton is arriving tomorrow and it’s motivated me to stick with a routine and eat healthier given how much that thing costs 😅. I’ve never done pre/post workout shakes before. Does anyone have any recommendations on which protein powders to look into and when to drink the shakes? And also like what to mix with it? Thanks in advance!

Have final round interviews at BCG tomorrow. I'm at S& right now at the SA level. Father had a sudden health issue come up this week and it's got me off my game. I'll ultimately need to support him financially for at least a year while he recovers. Not complaining, but has me considering just dropping out of the interview process. Is that crazy? Is the opportunity with BCG really so far beyond what I have already with S&? Is dropping a better look than interviewing and doing terribly?

Has anyone left healthcare and is now really happy? I’m an MSN, RN with 12 years hospital experience. I’m burned out and tired of making crap pay. I have an opportunity outside of healthcare that would pay more and challenge me in new ways that I haven’t experienced before. It’s a total shift that would really heal my work-life balance, job satisfaction and budget. My only fear is that I would not be using the license and degree that I worked so hard for. I would appreciate any input!!!!
