Enjoyed industry the most hence I’m still here. You actually see long term impacts. Happiest to exit consulting since terrible culture and partners I worked w at bcg. Banking was kinda fun since straight out of school making f you money and then got a bonus of 65k and quit on the spot since wasn’t long term haha

I don’t think I’m lazy but the jobs become unmotivating… especially as bosses ask for more

Sounds like you aren’t passionate about your jobs. Not a knock, just gotta find what you want to do longer term (for the 401k vesting if nothing else).

It’s comforting to hear this is common. You can start to get down on yourself fast when everyone else looks happy or can bear their career and you’re lost or unfulfilled/over-demanded

I think it becomes less fun also when the managers aren't super normal and able to talk about anything besides work. I'm a pretty motivated guy and cool with work hard, but only when there is also some play.

I’ve worked for 3 companies. I started a new job in 2020 and 2021. Now, I’m trying to stay for my 401k to vest and to just show career progression in one place. I think that will be valuable in the long term.

Here! I am just going to push myself to stick around at least until my first year RSU vesting. I will take it at a month at a time after that. I am on month 10 so only a couple of months to go! Last company I had to leave the company at month 7 because it was bought out by private equity so lost some RSUs there. Not going to let that happen again

No…you are not. I’ve been with my company for almost 6 years and have moved up. Got promoted in April and I am already itching for a different role (preferably still within the company).

Hi Everyone,
I have a query. Not sure if this is the right forum for it, but let me just ask it here.
I have completed my B.Tech. on 2020 and got a job in an MNC with a 3.8LPA, but due to COVID, the onboarding was delayed to Feb 2021. During this time, I had enrolled myself for a distance M.Tech. degree.
I recently joined a new company with a 10.1LPA a month back.
Just two weeks back, my M.Tech. degree is completed.
Should I have some increment in my new company as to my M.Tech. completion?

Additional Posts in The Worklife Bowl

Spent the pandemic working on myself, got sober, focused on working out, left the music industry and started a career where I can make money and have a steady work schedule. Maybe this isn’t everyone’s version of “growing up” but that’s what this was for me. Now that I’m vaxed and seeing my friends, it’s clear we have little left in common, and honestly a lot of the things they do straight up embarrasses me. I don’t want to lose these long term friends. Has anyone else been in this situation?

I’ve done some soul searching of late and established I’d love to be offered a FTE role in my current company. I think this is partly due to never having had a full time job which I’ve enjoyed and which have valued my contributions. I think this is due to wanting to feel accepted. I know acceptance needs to start with me etc but I think redundancy and workplace gaslighting has meant I’ve never achieved growth and status in one company where I can truly grow. Anyone else has this?

So supposed to head out of town for a long weekend with friends starting the evening of 4/21. My one friend and her son tested positive for Covid on 4/13 and have been sick. She says she is coming on our trip. On the following Thurs 4/28 I need to spend time with my 92 year old diabetic father. Do I go on this trip? I don’t think my friend has quarantined long enough to be sitting with 6 people driving in a van to our location unmasked as well as in the hotel room. Would you go on this trip?
