All the networking and relationship-building in this industry happens over late-night drinks and social events! I'm really not one to thrive in these settings, but I want to build my career. Would it be okay to suggest to leadership that such environments don’t always feel comfortable or safe to me?

When you say social events, do you mean drinking-focused events? Because networking/relationship-building does require some kind of social event.

Would definitely be worthwhile to suggest daytime, less drinking-focused activities though!

Seems companies are not learning, even after the great resignations.. the big names... Like TCS, ibm.. are not doing any changes to their work culture and ethics to improve WLB.

I am product designer with a fair amount of experience (6yrs).

Recently was interviewed for a Sr. role in Booking but unfortunately, the team finds me better suited as a core individual contributor.

I am also in the advanced stages of some lead designer positions in other companies.

However I am really interested in joining the team at Booking, especially because of the design culture.

What should be my reasons to accept or not accept the offer from booking?
