Any one moved to Apple after consulting? Is the culture/work-life balance really as bad as Glassdoor suggests? Worse than flying M-Th?

Remember they get to be picky. So they hire over achievers leading to poor work life balance for employees while good returns for shareholders

Knew someone who worked there. Hours were regularly worse than consulting and wife left him as a result. Each group is different so it's hard to generalize. Take the above as sample set of one.

Hi Fishes,

I have joined one of the top 4 Indian private bank as a Campaign Manager in 2019, after 3 years of campaign management I recently got into a product Manager role to learn PM Skills. However, 1 month into the new role I realised that there's no scope to learn PM Skills other than basic Project management. Request your suggestions & referrals to move into proper Prod Man role. Am open for any course suggestions too🙂

My Skills: Business Analytics, Campaign Analytics, Prod Management

I just finished a big jury trial with a senior partner (SP). There were co-parties w/separate counsel. SP mentally checked out, to the point that co-counsel was asking what SP was doing/if SP was okay. I ended up handling most everything. SP did a few parts but went rogue and did things that were offensive/risky/bad for client. It became clear that SP is not performing like SP used to and may be a liability. Do I tell someone at my firm? Don’t want to offend SP or cause drama, but I’m concerned.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.

I’ve only been at my current company for about 8 months, but I don’t ever see myself loving this job. How do I know when it’s time to make a change?
