Do sm platforms have an ethical responsibility to monitor content and false information on their platforms? I think it's a slippery slope to losing our freedom of speech.

Kind of curious, how many of you have any male secretaries in your schools?
I have taught in four different buildings in my career, some had multiple secretaries. Never had a male secretary.

I’m taking the SPHR in less than 2 months and haven’t started studying for it. How difficult is it? I’ve been in HR for 20 years and have experienced ALOT in that time, although there are always employee relations scenarios that surprise me! How much do I really need to study for this? I just can’t seem to motivate myself to do it, I’m so mentally burnt out at the end of the day from a high stress HR job, the last thing I feel like doing is studying HR!

Recs on a quick financial modeling certification? I’m looking at the CFI FMVA cert but they claim it will take 6 months. The limiting factor for me right now as far as getting a new job seems to be modeling experience so I’d like to credentialize myself a bit

How to fill H1 lottery in Capgemini..

Hi everyone! I’m a master’s student in Switzerland, and I’m currently abroad interning at Deloitte AKA working 14h a day for no pay 🙃 just to get a job back in Switzerland
I currently have a couple of “almost” job offers, and I’m going back soon and meeting the employers to talk about logistics including work permit.

Are there non-Europeans here that have gone through the work permit process in Switzerland that can answer a couple of questions?

I would really appreciate it.

Is it too late to negotiate a title change once you have been working at a company a few months? I started at a company and didn’t realize in the interview process that I would be the only one in the department with substantive experience. I think I deserve the “senior” title but not sure if it’s too late now to ask.

Just had a recruiter reach out about a Biz Ops Associate role (I assume she found my application from when applied almost two years ago). What’s the best one stop shop for Google Interview knowledge. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated!

Have anyone interviewed with Greenhouse Software for Senior Software Engineer recently who wants to share the experience?

Can anyone explain how inter-country transfers work within EY? Specifically the application process, how to go about it and who to talk to about it.😐

The absolute gall of some recruiters - after weeks of correspondence, and 5 interviews… 👻 👻 👻

I’m advanced age and respond well to ivf medications but don’t have good quality eggs . Thinking of going in with a lower dosage stims and increasing upward and maybe longer stim cycle. Has anyone tried this strategy ?

My wife is 28 weeks pregnant and we both are of Indian origin. Today during her scheduled check up with her gynaecologist it was noted that the child was slightly smaller than where it should be at 28 weeks and said the size is approximately around what it would be at 24 weeks instead. Our 20th week detailed scan was all good and kid was in the 55th percentile. The baby kicks quite a bit and we are trying to eat healthy. Really concerned of the situation. Anyone with any knowledge or similar exp

Sad post, in need of some support **** my partner and i tried for 1 year to conceive naturally, only to have a miscarriage and start our IVF journey. 1 year into that - we had 5 healthy PGT-A and PGT-M tested embryos and were hopeful to implant. Implantation 1 just failed. We lost 20% of our chances that took 1 year to build. And tine just keeps ticking

Can I workout while doing Lupron subcutaneous shots? Day 2 and got a little crampy in my regular workout

Obviously, will slow down closer to retrieval but I'm 2 weeks until next big phase and 23 days from retrieval

For those who got a 2nd opinion, when did you seek one and what triggered you to get one?

I tried a frozen embryo transfer for the first time and I think it hasn’t been successful because of how stressful I find my job to be. I’m thinking o taking vacation days for the next try and worst case quitting my job to do something easier. Any other ideas/ recommendations you would have to handle this?

I don’t know if it’s just me, but I feel like I am being punished for being broken. I have PCOS and my husband has non-ideal semen results, so we need to do an IUI. But my RE is making me jump through so many genetic testing hoops. She refuses to do an IUI without first seeing a genetic counselor, getting tested, and then seeing a genetic counselor again. This is all going to take 2+ months on top of then starting the IUI path. My OBGYN never recommended this before TTC. Just frustrating.

Hello, I’m a father and due to a difficult childbirth (to an amazing son) my wife is apprehensive about a 2nd pregnancy. Knowing her risks, I agree.
Im considering sperm donation, she is unsure.

I’m 42 and had two failed IVF cycles. Doctor is pushing me towards considering egg donation - anyone else in the same boat? Or anyone who had successful IVF cycles after 42? Any data would be helpful at this point to help me decide what to do.

Just went in for a day 11 ultrasound. 2 very mature follicles (18 and 19mm) and 2 very close behind (17mm each). Waiting to see how my doctor wants to proceed, but hoping for an IUI on Sunday. Wish me luck!

You know how some people say not to stress when you’re TTC? Well, I’m one of those Type A, high ambition women who tell those people to take a hike. I’ve spent...
1) 2 yrs travel consulting while TTC (crazy stressful)
2) 1 yr in industry while TTC w/ IUIs (slightly less stressful)
3) 1 more yr industry cranking up antianxiety meds to cope through WFH and pandemic start/stops on fertility (semi-stressful)
4) Gave up on caring about work as a 2021 resolution
💥 BOOM ! 💥 Naturally Pregnant. 😳

IVF is hard. But all this insurance bullsht is harder.

Hi everyone, first fishbowl post here :) I’m currently 4W4D pregnant! I’m excited but also very anxious. I had a miscarriage first time I got pregnant last June and a chemical pregnancy in Jan. I REALLY want this to work and need to obviously keep my stress and anxiety in check. I read everything there is to read on what to do/not do/eat/not eat… My previous experiences have removed any kind of “innocent excitement” I had. Does it ever come back?

Anyone experience heartburn after retrieval? This is my third and haven’t had acidity before. Doctor warned about pain, nausea etc but no guidance around heart burn which gets real bad when I sleep.

I now have Carrot benefits. Maybe elective egg freezing the start of next year? After some research, it looks like the Carrot funds are available only after I meet my yearly health plan deductible. I’m currently on HDHP (with an HSA) that has a high deductible and max oop is in the mid-$3K. Since I’m relatively healthy, I’m not sure if this is the right plan for me or if an EPO or PPO makes more sense. Appreciate any insight - esp from folks who’ve gone through a similar situation. Thank you!

3rd month trying, 14 DPO, had an hour of cramping last night, which I never have. Had spotting this morning with weird lower abdominal cramps and pain around belly button. Very tender breasts feeling much heavier. Got discouraged when I saw the spotting. Should I still test?

Does anyone have any ovulation trackers they recommend for PCOS? Curious to hear experiences with basal temp checks for ovulation, apps, etc. that people have used and found easy and successful.
