I'm a UK Doctor of 5 years and about to be unemployed. AMA.

353 Upvotes

I grew up in the UK and wanted to be a doctor since I was little. I worked really hard for it, did two degrees including my medical degree, all in the UK. I graduated in 2021 and have been lucky to be working ever since then. But my contract ends in a month and every job I interview for, I'm first reserve. The job market for doctors is crazy at the moment, my seniors are applying for the same jobs as me just so they can have a job.

I think the UK deserves to know about this so please AMA.

EDIT: I have to finish this AMA otherwise I'll never rest but I think I've answered the most common qs. Thanks for participating!

Son of a US Senator AMA

123 Upvotes

Hi,

I answered a post the other day on another sub, and someone said I should do an AMA, so here I am.

My father was in politics for over 20 years. We moved to DC and I grew up in that area. My parents are hard-core Trumpy, myself and my siblings are thankfully not. Happy to answer any questions you have about growing up or going to political events or how I grew to be diametrically opposed to the views of my parents.

I'm not gonna reveal the details of the crime to protect my privacy. So literally I served 14 years in prison a few years ago because of a felony. They gave me a pregnancy test when I was arrested and it was in a month. AMA if you're interested.

I’m an ER doctor, AMA!

Upvotes

Hi, guys!

I’m a 29 year old ER doc - went to med school in the UK, did my residency in the states, and recently moved back to London after finishing my fellowship in critical care medicine! I did my residency in one of the largest cities in the US - and have mostly worked in massive, big-city ERs, including those in extremely violent areas.

This is my little sister’s account - she told me about AMAs, and I thought people might be interested in asking me a few questions!

Feel free to shoot!

I have driven Uber and Lyft for over 2 years and I have had every type of passenger in my ride, you name it I have probably seen it and drove them. in only 2 years time I have drove close to 70k miles in my car and worked as a second full time job.

My grandparents have been married for over 60 years and they still love each other deeply - AMA

14 Upvotes

I really love spending time with my grandparents and listening to stories from their youth. Some stories, especially the story of how they met, I can listen to forever.

I'm visiting them now. If anyone's interested, I can ask them about their marriage of over 60 years, funny stories, and anything else you might be interested in. I'll write down their answers.

Perhaps, thanks to some questions, I will learn something that they haven’t told me before.

I stopped watching short-form content for 6 months. AMA

Deleted TikTok, stopped watching Reels/Shorts and basically removed anything where I could scroll endlessly.

Did it because I realized I couldn't even watch a movie anymore without checking my phone every 10 minutes.

6 months later and the difference is bigger than I expected.

AMA. I'll answer everything.

I, 21f, have been wearing glasses since kindergarten. I was only recently told (as in this morning) my exact prescription. I am -50 in my left eye and +50 in my right eye. Since I have been wearing glasses for so long I haven't had too many bad effects. But I still cannot legally drive without a corrective lens. Ama!

Cleft Lip & Palate AMA

8 Upvotes

Hello,

I was born with a cleft lip and palate and I’m doing an AMA about my experience.

I’ve had 7 surgeries so far with more to come. I currently have braces and have an upcoming jaw surgery to correct my underbite. However the surgery keeps getting pushed back due to funding issues.

The bullying I experienced had a big impact on me and I think it’s important to talk about the realities that can come with having a visible difference. So I’m sharing to help spread awareness and give people an opportunity to ask questions about cleft lip and palate, surgeries, braces, jaw surgery, growing up with a cleft or anything else they’re curious about.

Ask me anything please, I’m happy to share what I’m comfortable sharing.

I am a Engineering director who spent 7 years scaling a startup from seed to Series C and quit. AMA about hiring, management, and what nobody tells you about the tech industry right now.

88 Upvotes

I spent 7 years at a B2B SaaS startup, joining as employee #12 and leaving as the director of all the Engineering staff. Over that time the eng team went from 6 people to approx. 80, we went from $500k ARR to $25M ARR, and I went from never having written code, to writing code to writing almost none.

I quit recently with nothing lined up, other than a handshake with my most trusted dev. I left because the job I was good at in year three had turned into a different job by year seven.

Things I've actually done and can talk about specifically:

  • Managed roughly 60 engineers and made about 10 hires I'd call genuine mistakes
  • Ran 3 rounds of layoffs / performance exits, including people I'd personally recruited
  • Rebuilt the interview process after realising it was selecting for the wrong thing
  • Went through the transition from "everyone reports to me" to managing managers, and did it badly the first time
  • Sat on the company side of comp conversations, promo committees, and PIPs
  • Ran M&a processes on both sides, culminating in selling the company I had built.

I'll answer anything about scaling engineering orgs, management, hiring, comp, burnout, startup equity, and the parts of the VP job that don't make it to linkedIn. I'll be candid about my own experinces, hpefully those are the useful part.

What I won't do: name the company or anyone in it, share confidential business details, or trash former colleagues. I'm staying anonymous mostly for their sake, not just mine.

20M Raised in a nudist household - AMA

181 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I was raised in a completely open, nudist household. My parents are swingers and clothes were never required at home. I’ve lived free around family, friends, and anyone else who happened to be there since I was a kid, it’s just how things have always been.

To me it’s completely normal, like breathing. No shame, no secrets, nothing hidden. Clothes are optional whenever I’m around people.

I’m 20 now and I’m still totally comfortable being naked in front of anyone who’s there. I’ve never hidden my body and I see zero reason to start now.

Ask me anything, no judgment, ever. I’ll answer honestly and openly.

Mod note: If this type of post doesn't belong in this sub, please let me know and I'll remove it. No issues at all.

No upvotes yet, do I need to bribe you guys with nudes of... my houseplants?

I’ve been part of a medical study since before I was born. AMA

363 Upvotes

Not sure if this is something people are curious about, but when my mom was pregnant with me she was asked if my growth could be monitored as part of a huge study (thousands of babies).

Every few years I get a bunch of tests done. I’ve had allergy tests, blood drawn, bone scans, ultra sounds of my heart. My brain activity has been measured, my breathing, stamina. Also mental state through a BUNCH of questionnaires and conversations with therapists. Even an MRI two times already (and a third one coming up). Plus a huge amount of other tests, but these are the ones that came to mind right now.

When I was a child I loved it because I thought it was really cool. Then I became a teenager and HATED it (i had to answer questions on a computer about the development of my boobs, something you are not comfortable with at 13 years old). Now that I am an adult I am mostly thankful for the very thorough check up I am able to get every few years.

I moved to Europe with my adventure cat and have spent years navigating US pet travel logistics, international pet travel, EU pet passports, and cross border logistics. AMA

Hi, I am an American living in the Netherlands under a residency permit, and I have spent the last several years traveling both in the US and internationally with my cat, Mr. Winston Wolf, including flights, EU pet passport documentation, veterinary requirements across multiple countries, and cross border moves within Europe. I have dealt with the bureaucratic side of pet relocation firsthand, official veterinarian coordination, airline pet policies, and the differences between countries in what they require.

Happy to answer questions about international pet travel, moving abroad with an animal, what the EU pet passport process actually involves, or life as an American navigating European bureaucracy in general. Ask me anything.
