Any PCOS sisters in here? Have you found a workout routine that's helping you lose the weight? Been reading that doing strenuous/heavy workouts may worsen our symptoms. Is doing 3 sets of 12 for each workout too much? I weight train.

I recently gained 10lbs in 8 wks (I think it's the new birth control pill I was put on. Diagnosed w/PCOS last year. I hope to lose that 10-15lbs by end of October, tone up and burn off this stomach fat... And hopefully have another solution for my PCOS symptoms)

My girlfriend is a masters student at a top tier target school and offered for me to join in to this career insights meeting where prospectives can ask IBers/consultants questions.

Their questions made me realize how green some of them are. The Qs were oriented around conducting social justice in the workplace or environmental activism. Like bruh you do PPT and Excel all day.

I cringe at this attitude towards the workplace by students, anyone else relate or am I being negative?

I was also considering a part time masters but not sure I can commit with how many hours I work.

Networking/LinkedIn question: Do you feel like you are the one who always reaches out to people on LinkedIn to stay in touch and build your network?
I'm always on the look out for my next opportunity or passively job searching. To that end, I believe in staying connected with my network through out the year and not randomly approaching them for a position/opening. However, at times, it feels the communication is coerced and there is a lack of rapport. Anyone else struggle with this? Thanks!
