How do you thrive at work? (let alone stay afloat 🫠)

I'm at that phase in my career where I'm neither a fresher nor a "manager", and I feel like I'm losing my edge and I don't have the skills to advance. When I was younger, I felt more confident in my skills and it was easier to do well at work because it was mostly about execution and I didn't have to worry about "managing" work or people.

Now, I feel exhausted. I feel like there are so many skills I dont yet have to advance in my career. I feel like navigating work, dealing with stakeholders, and executing work needs a lot of energy. I watch my peers do so much more and I feel inadequate. Its not like I suck at my job. I know im doing enough to make it through. But I feel lost in meetings, i feel like i cannot communicate clearly wirhout over explaining and as a result I come off as a very underconfident person how doesnt know my work too well (which i know isnt the case, I feel like I cannot articulate).

Everyday feels like an uphill battle and I feel like a little boost in confidence could help. So how do u guys do it? How do you build the skills to say the right things and be sure about the stuff you say? And manage execution while also looking at things from a managerial/leadership perspective?

I've also recently been diagnosed with ADD and I have been going through a bout of executive dysfunction which is hindering my work. So any tips specifically from neurodivergent folks would be great too.

Staycation as a solo female

I've recently gained a level of stability in my career and finances. I work from home and it gets super boring to be home all day with my family members. I've never lived apart from them in a hostel/PG. Now I want to go on a staycation, a place that I can work out of. Our country is very well known for its safety for women everywhere so I am not afraid at all !!!

Please recommend me some places where I will not get drugged and graped or killed. Somewhere I can stay for a month or two, my budget would be 30k/mo including food, lodging and a bit of sight seeing. My top priority is safety and I would prefer the South to the North, but I am open to ideas. I'm interested in art, architecture, photography, heritage so those are my areas of interests. I work almost the whole day from Monday to Friday and will be able to step out on weekends and holidays. So WiFi is another must have. If yall could recommend me some hotels/ hostels/ homestays that'll be of great help

Looking to connect with women in the development sector (job search – research/policy roles)

Hi everyone,

I’m reaching out to women working in the development sector — especially those involved in research, programs, or hiring.

I have ~3+ years of experience in social development, working across both research and programme implementation in rural and low-income settings in India. My work has focused on vulnerable communities, with a strong grounding in gender, caste, and systemic exclusion.

Keeping details broad for anonymity, here’s a snapshot:

Research & Analysis:

Worked on large-scale primary research studies (2000+ households)

Experience with mixed-methods research: surveys, in-depth interviews, FGDs

Hands-on with data analysis (SPSS/Excel) and qualitative coding

Contributed to policy-oriented reports and recommendations

Programme Implementation:

Led/managed a multi-district project supported by a large CSR foundation

Coordinated field operations across villages, including team management and training

Worked on education and community-based interventions (learning centres, adolescent engagement, etc.)

Led community mobilization, enrolment drives, and stakeholder coordination

Managed reporting, monitoring, and documentation for funders

Grants & Strategy:

Contributed to grant proposals, concept notes, and donor communication

Experience aligning program design with funding requirements and impact frameworks

I’m now looking to move into roles that are more policy-facing, strategy-oriented, or research-heavy, while still staying connected to on-ground impact. Delhi-based roles preferred, but open to hybrid opportunities.

The past few months have been professionally challenging, and I’m actively trying to rebuild — so any leads, referrals, or even conversations would genuinely mean a lot.

If you’re working in this space or can point me in the right direction, I’d really appreciate connecting. Happy to share my CV over DM.

Thank you!

(used to ChatGPT to help frame this but my work is 100% AI free don’t worry)

Need doctor recommendations in Faridabad / Delhi NCR and help fixing messy medication plans

Hi everyone,

Posting here because things have gotten really confusing with my parents’ treatment and we could really use some help.

  1. Heart patient (48F): She had an angioplasty with a stent last year at SSB. There were complications right after discharge. She had to be readmitted the same night because her lungs filled with fluid, and they had to operate again.

After that, she was prescribed around 12 to 15 medications. Over time it was reduced to about 10, but still a lot.

We then went to ESIC, where her meds were changed again and brought down to around 8. After that, she had thyroid tumor removal surgery at AIIMS, and during that process her cardiac meds were changed again and new thyroid meds were added.

Current issue: Her medication schedule is completely messed up now. We do not know what should be taken when, what combinations are safe, or which doctor’s prescription to follow anymore.


  1. Diabetes patient (father): He needs a better doctor for sugar control. Current treatment is not helping much, and he also has frequent pain.

Also, at ESIC, he was prescribed BP meds even though he has no history of BP, which has added to the confusion.


What we need:

  • A good cardiologist in Faridabad or Delhi NCR who can review everything and simplify the meds
  • A good diabetes specialist (endocrinologist) in Faridabad or Delhi NCR for better sugar management
  • Preferably someone who takes a practical approach and avoids unnecessary medications

If anyone has recommendations in Faridabad or anywhere in Delhi NCR, or advice on how to get a clean and unified medication plan, please help.

This has been really stressful to manage and we just want to get things stable again.

Thanks in advance 🙏

P. S.- posting it on behalf of my bf, so if you see the same post on some other sub please dont be alarmed.
