Has anyone had any success in using Glassdoor to apply to jobs? I have never used it for applying or searching, just for checking reviews for companies that I’m interviewing with.

I do like the idea of being able to see employee reviews before applying, as I feel like I keep getting interviews with companies that have some reviews citing toxic work environments. After being laid off for almost 8 months from a company I disliked, I’m really afraid of ending up in another environment that ends up stunting my career growth.

Ok so I had Claude make me a workout routine based off my goals (fat loss, body recomp) which includes a day for legs, a day for arms, and a full body circuit day (not concerned about this one as it always has me dying 😂) The days in between I focus on making sure I’m getting a lot of steps and maybe a day of cardio. Weekends I typically give it a rest but still going on walks.

I’ll post my legs & arms below, but I just want to see if I should stick with this or add some more exercises in. I’ve been slowly doing progressive overload and have just moved up to using15 lb dumbbells with 8-10 reps. I definitely feel it and have been progressively overloading when certain ones start to feel easy, but sometimes just doing 5 different exercises with 3 sets each feels kind of short to me? like I can get it done in under 30 minutes, especially arm day. I usually hop on the treadmill after and do incline walking or an interval circuit. Should I be doing more, or am I just psyching myself out & getting bored with the consistency 😅

Here’s my leg day and arm day:

Day 1 — Lower Body (Strength + Glutes)

3 sets each, 8–12 reps

• Squats → **15 lb**
• Romanian deadlifts → **15 lb**
• Walking lunges → **12–15 lb** (start 12 if needed) (16 all tg)
• Glute bridges → **30 lb all tg**
• Lateral band walks → band only

curtsy squat

Day 2 — Upper Body (Tone + Definition)

3 sets each, 8–12 reps

• Dumbbell rows → **15 lb**
• Chest press → **15 lb (or 12 if struggling)**
• Shoulder press → **12 lb**
• Bicep curls → **10–12 lb**
• Lateral raises → **8–10 lb** (this is normal, do not force 15)

(Edit: for context I am 30F, roughly 5’4 and fluctuate between 135 and 140)
