What is your favorite commuter-friendly gym bag that actually keeps your corporate life and fitness life cleanly separated? I am trying so hard to eliminate the "I'm too tired once I get home" excuse by planning my workouts straight from the office. However, my gym bag is currently a nightmare, crammed with a laptop, a change of dress shoes, resistance bands. I look like I'm moving into my cubicle permanently every time I walk through the lobby in the morning.

I’ve got a friend in Dubai who has experience in IB and VC at junior levels (in London and Dubai) and would like to break into consulting. He’s at a small cap VC at the moment and works not that challenging, and he wants to break into MBB or tier 2 for strategy. Anyone happy to look at his CV?

If you had the pick of BCG Chicago and Bain Chicago out of undergrad, which would you choose, and why?

Got a mail from RL to schedule a discussion for career outlook conversation next week, so most of us would get to know the numbers and impact tier by next week.

I have friends seeking 2 ACL wristbands for this weekend. They are happy to buy a 3 day pass even though we are halfway through the event haha. Thx.

Hi fishes,

I woke up today tired.

My work cell was buzzing and then I remembered something.

I forgot to thank the bus driver that dropped me off a few days ago.

I got up and rushed downstairs to find the bus driver.

It was raining outside but I was already running barefoot to the bus stop.

I stood there soaked in my pajamas as the bus approached.

Then, the door opened. The driver got up and shook my hand.

I sat down and started my shift.

I’m the bus driver. Reminder to love and thank yourself.

Anyone in dental sales?

Hi all!
Would love some insight on how you went from an HR assistant/coordinator to an HR Generalist. I’ve been in the HR world for 8 years, and only in the last 2-3 have I really done real HR work. The first company I was at didn’t have a solid HR team so I don’t really count that. I feel like I’m ready to take on more responsibility and learn more. And of course make more money.

I have looked into getting SHRM certification. But should I go back to school and get my masters in Hr?

Im thinking of creating a Vegan/Plant Based Group. Is that something anyone here would be interested in?

Any on Forward for Health Care?
New here to Fishbowl so first post.
Interested to hear if anyone is using Forward for their primary health care service?
Thinking about joining.
Interesting subscription based cost model but basically pushing interactive, team based approach to long term health care with a good blend of tech and analytics built in.

I have a problem. Idk how to even begin fixing this...
I'm staying up almost every night watching shiz on my phone until 2am, wake up at 7 for meetings completely groggy. Can't stop myself.
Can't get myself to workout or even eat healthy. Unable to focus at work. Not sure how do I break this cycle. I tried putting my phone away - it doesn't work. I have insomnia + I'm a light sleeper so it's very easy for me to get up and grab my phone. Idk how to stop eating sugar & junk.

Keep those resolutions going 💪🏼

I got out of my water drinking habit and finding it hard to build back up to 100oz + per day. I don’t like the fact I’ve added in drinks with fake sweeteners to get more fluid intake. What do you all drink to supplement water that is better than some artificially flavored and/or colored beverage? I feel nothing exists and I just need to get back to my water habit. Maybe any good water bottles that help you drink more?

Does anyone have experience with coolsculpting? I am considering having my upper arms done. I am fit and not looking to lose weight- just address some stubborn pockets of fat that I have always been insecure about. Thanks in advance!

My father had a sever case of Covid and he made it out successfully. I’m very grateful for this. Close to a year down the line, I’m finding that he is having severe memory loss issues and can’t remember significant details. Has anyone experienced or is experiencing this? How have y’all dealt with it?

Engage all five senses and mindfully notice five things you can see, four things you can touch, three things you can hear, two things you can smell, and one thing you can taste. Go in any order that makes sense for you and your current situation — no pressure

After every meal, I crave some sort of dessert even if it’s a piece of chocolate. Has anyone found a way to curb those cravings? I’ve been trying to eat fruit instead but it just doesn’t do it for me.
