I had a friend who routinely had to give presentations to groups of 100-250 and had to take 12.5mg of a beta blocker to get through them. Crazy thing is she killed the presentations every time

A1 - wow! I had the same experience. It really affected my work performance! Literally I flunked off a project (read rolled off 🤭) it was bad! started taking it before bed time.

Like, right before the interview? I wouldn't recommend it but they gave me brain fog and I'm not sure if everyone is affected in that way.

It is, and it works. It gave me really fucked up dreams so I switched to atenolol. I was taking them for hypertension.

And if your resting HR is already on the low-end, you don't want to take them...again you'll risk fainting
I’m 33 and starting to feel like I’m aging out of consulting. This is a young man’s game and I now have 3 kids and am tired. Time to plot my exit to industry 🙂.
Death by a thousand layoff rounds. If the goal was to destroy trust, crush morale, and keep everyone looking over their shoulder, it’s a masterclass. McKinsey’s culture is at rock bottom
Just want to vent here: openAI is hiring chumps who have not even graduated from college. So hiring is not competence based or even school or degree based. Just frustrated with how they are conducting hiring.
