What mental health/wellness apps have made an improvement in your life? I’m interested in virtual therapist apps (is Talkspace good?) but open to any other suggestions to. I’ve never talked to a therapist before and think would want to start out with messaging rather than video bc I feel awkward about this

I hate in person therapy. I found Talkspace to be helpful and it’s on your own schedule.

Not a therapy app, but Ten Percent has guided meditations suitable for total beginners that I really find helpful. Many are just 5 minutes long. Makes a bigger difference than you'd think!

Today I finally took the day off for my mental health. This year, I lost my childhood dog of 16 years, am planning my wedding in the time of corona, and dealing with an emotional/verbally abusive parent. Was traveling coast to coast weekly before quarantine set in and never took time to grieve or process things. And since WFH it’s been 60 hour weeks and some weekends working. Today after some hurtful comments from my dad, it hit me like a ton of bricks. Glad I took this day to reset.

Hi all,
I’m currently a junior doctor in an intensive care in London. I’m hoping to make a career switch over to consulting. I’ve done research, but struggling to find an initial landing spot in consulting.

Thanks!

How tough is it to break into a FAANG PM role at mid-level if you have less prestigious experience?

Went to a good-but-not-Ivy school. What qualifications and experience are FAANG companies looking for when hiring mid-level PMs? Can I break in at mid-level from here?
