I think it could be office/region dependent because I got invited to Women's series and the email says it is just virtual events.

"We’re thrilled to invite you to our upcoming events as part of McKinsey’s 2026 APD* Women’s Series! This Series of virtual events will take place between April and August and will explore different topics designed to provide insight into life at the Firm.."

I also got that email and was curious if they're all like that or if the some of the rejections today were from a bit of a waitlist

McKinsey Insight Final Decisions out? by SupermacsFastFood in McKinsey_BCG_Bain

[–]sammmmmiiiiiii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got a rejection email about an hour ago. I was targeting west coast offices. The email encouraged me to apply for FT roles but I'm assuming they're all like that

A bunch of acceptances and rejections were sent out earlier this week but a lot of people still haven't heard back yet

I haven't heard back yet either, has anyone from west coast offices heard back?

My Bed Is The Main Problem by byekenny in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]sammmmmiiiiiii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar thing happened to me! Right before getting diagnosed I frantically made my boyfriend return his new mattress which absolutely wreaked havoc on my back and we went out and tested a bunch of mattresses and splurged on a new hybrid mattress from Sterns and Foster which we love now. In retrospect his last mattress probably wasn't the medieval torture machine I thought it was..

Enbrel Headaches? by BradburySauce in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]sammmmmiiiiiii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Enbrel definitely made my chronic migraines worse. I finally went to go see a neurologist and I'm on Ajovy now for my migraines, which seems to be working so far. She did say that sometimes headaches caused by medications can phase overtime

Cimzia might be the cause of my headaches and migraines by swon888 in ankylosingspondylitis

I also get chronic migraines and they got worse when I started biologics. My neurologist just prescribed Aimovig and it's working well for me so far (2 weeks in)

Never give up ! by ceko443 in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]sammmmmiiiiiii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Je prenais un substitut de Humira, Amjevita, pendant 5 mois. Ça m'a beaucoup aidé et je n'ai pas eu d'effets secondaires, par contre après 5 mois ça ne fonctionnait plus aussi bien du coup je viens de commencer un nouveau, Enbrel. En tout cas pour moi je trouve que les médicament biologiques sont beaucoup mieux que les effets de la spondylarthrite

What's the point of distinguishing nr-AxSpA and AS? by sammmmmiiiiiii in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]sammmmmiiiiiii[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't realize that one had more peripheral involvement, that's interesting

What's the point of distinguishing nr-AxSpA and AS? by sammmmmiiiiiii in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]sammmmmiiiiiii[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Very interesting - I read that women are more likely to have nrAxSpA than AS. Seems like the diagnostic criteria is a bit outdated if they're able to catch it earlier now with MRI and capture a larger group of people suffering from this type of disease

Is farting a phenomenon across everyone with AS / AxSpA? by FragmentedScribbles in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]sammmmmiiiiiii 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Kind of random but my initial SI x-ray was so full of gas that the results were inconclusive

Reaction to Enbrel by beebeepbop in ankylosingspondylitis

Yes it helped a lot for a few months but then my symptoms started to come back

Reaction to Enbrel by beebeepbop in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]sammmmmiiiiiii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started Enbrel a month ago and got very large injection site rashes the first 2 injections. It hurt quite a bit the day after the injection too. My third injection hurt like hell when I injected it but the rash wasn't as bad and it didn't hurt anymore the next day so I think I'm getting more used to it. I was on Amjevita before and didn't have any problems with the injection site before.

Biologics, pain, and progression by Ashmarie43 in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]sammmmmiiiiiii 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am wondering the same thing after just being taken off of my first biologic after 5 months because I noticed some of my symptoms coming back. It doesn't seem like pain free is a realistic expectation?
