Any advice for someone about to start a new role remotely and how to deal with the long hours? My new role is going to be more demanding and was wondering how some of you deal with the continual late nights.

It’s easier to work long hours from home in my opinion. I always found it harder to stay in the office past midnight. You can take a break when it gets overwhelming and go for a quick walk around the block to clear your head. I also tend to get changed to my comfy clothes, shower and put my hair in a bun (I’m a woman with a long hair) around 8pm so then when I’m done working later that evening I can literally just go to bed.

I did the IB grind for 5 years. Without coffee. It can be done. You have to be extremely motivated, take care of your health with exercise and good eating habits and, perhaps most of all, a lot of loud late night hip hop to stay awake.

Drinking lots of water is key without coffee... Adderall works well too

Agree work As1, long hours at home are easier than in the office. I think the bigger issue is getting up to speed and communication with the team / politics while WFH — all of which would require a little more proactivity on your end given not physically there.

Anyone have slow months where you burn through a lot of your allotted pro bono/professional development hours to keep hitting minimum daily hours? The past few weeks have been like this for me.

I’ve been asking partners if I can assist in any projects so I can fill my plate, but I’ve only gotten small (4-6 hour) tasks handed my way.

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.

I’ve been working for a small investment firm for about a year and am having some issues with my boss. We have a weekly check-in but he’s ALWAYS 2-3 hours late, or skips the meeting altogether without warning. He also never replies to any of the emails I send. I already spoke with him about these issues, but things haven’t really changed. I really like the work I do but I’m starting to feel frustrated about the situation. Any advice? Or anyone else in a similar situation?
