My AA patch first appeared June 22nd and I got my first steroid injection on July 22nd. As of today, I see growth, I also use an LLLT helmet. But I see that the center of my patch has more growth and there’s a “halo ring” around it. Is that temporary or normal? Will it fill up or should I see my dermatologist again?
Please leave your comments and advices as I’m super concerned if it’s expanding.
Thanks yall
Hi guys so here’s a timeline of events that happened in the month of June to me
June 5th I received a major bad news regarding my visa and had to get a lawyer who specializes in it. He’s fixing it- this is also a big financial issue.
June 8 I was starting a new job and was already anxious- on the way I got into a car accident and suffered a concussion. I still have lingering effects and headaches from it.
June 10 after coming home from the ER after an IV drip (my bf dropped me and he went back home)
We had a fight and it was very hurtful and stressful, almost broke up with him at 2-3 am. He came rushing driving an hour to fix it at 4 am.
June 21 I see a bald patch on the top front right side. Coin sized. Looks like alopecia areata.
Now I’m trying to understand if so much stress, pain, physical trauma, emotional distress can cause alopecia or not? What are your thoughts?
The patch is itchy and I feel tingling. No burning.
I was in a car accident on June 8. Got a concussion.
It’s almost two weeks now and I have developed a bald spot on the front of my head.
Note: I hit my head in the back, not the front.
This patch looks like alopecia areata. Can a concussion cause hair loss like this? Is it reversible? I’m only 25😭 I can’t be going bald so soon.
What treatments should I get or consider getting?
To all the certified dermatologists here, pls need your help 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 pls comment your thoughts.
I’m suffering from female pattern baldness looking to get a PRF/PRP treatment in Boston, MA.
There are many clinics that offer treatments but they’re so expensive. Do you have any suggestions?
I’m starting in June at an Am50 Big law firm for the first time in Boston, MA. What is it like working in such an environment. Outside of the usual benefits package- what does a culture like that have to offer? Are you able to network a lot? Is it really professional or easy going?
What’s your experience?
I accepted a job offer at a Mid sized law firm, I am supposed to start soon. The thing is I received another offer from BigLaw with a major salary difference (BIG JUMP) and it aligns perfectly with my career goals. How do I take my acceptance back from the mid sized firm. I feel really bad, but I also have to look out for my career goals and future. Help please!!!

I’m currently on F1 OPT that expires in July 2026.
I have an H1B selected petition and pending approval. I am switching jobs from one law firm to another while still in opt.
My current employer says they will not withdraw my petition. Can my new employer file a transfer petition? If yes when and how?
UPDATE BELOW ⬇️
Original post: (Posted 7th May) I had a second and final interview at a mid sized law firm for a staff position and it went REALLY WELL To the point the interviewer was explaining who I’d be working with closely and how it would go in extreme detail.
It’s been over 24 hours since that interview. And at the end of it the interviewer said I would hear back shortly from the first interviewer or herself. She was enthusiastic and smiling.
I’m getting anxious cause the interview went really well but I haven’t heard back yet. What does “shortly mean” 😭 how long do I have to wait before I get the job offer?? Help pls
Update : I followed up on May 11th asking for an update and they replied that they’re still in the interview process and would reach out to me by the end of this week (Friday May 15th) to discuss the status of my application.
What does this mean? Do mid sized law firms have to conduct a set number of interviews before they extend a job offer for HR requirements? I’m trying to read between the lines here. Why are they still keeping me in the loop? Does this mean I’m a top contender with someone else or something else?
Your comments and help is much appreciated ❤️❤️

Hi all, quick question- Are these good signs after an interview? (45 mins, detailed convo)
I had an interview recently that lasted about 45 minutes, and I’m trying to figure out how to read it. It was for the position of a legal assistant at a mid sized law firm in Boston.
The interviewer asked a lot of questions and really tried to understand my background in detail. When I asked about the firm’s culture, she gave a pretty thorough explanation. She also made an effort to pronounce my name correctly so she could share it with the team, which I thought was thoughtful.
Toward the end, she explained how the next round of interviews would work and mentioned I should hear back within 1–2 weeks. But mentioned there are other people interviewing and once that’s concluded I will hear back about the next steps of the interview.
Also, she was talking as if I already work there: “you would be working with X number of attorneys, handling this that, etc.” She asked follow up questions to my answers.
Overall, it felt like a good conversation, but I know that doesn’t always mean much. Do these sound like positive signs, or am I reading too much into it?
Location: Boston, MA, USA
Edit: would really appreciate if you all can comment and give your insights. I’m so anxious about this.
