Yeah horrible. Typically you have to choose 2/3: academics, networking, recruiting.

If you have a family, you can only choose 1/3 above 😔 At least only that’s realistic for me.

Also MBA students are not inclusive when it comes to parents.

Though I don’t regret and would still do my MBA

I have an interview with Korn Ferry for an associate principal role and am curious about others’ experiences have been with work-life balance here. Also, I have an idea of what I should be compensated in this type of role, but any insights on how they pay compared to others would be helpful. Are you traveling during the pandemic or have client interactions been virtual? Lastly, if you are a consultant here, are you on billable hours? My current consulting role is not - so this would be new.

Confused!
So I am working as a UI UX designer since Jan22. I started with a really good project (everything from the scratch) with research, knowing the user etc. The project went really well. It was my first project that I handled individually. I got another project it also went well. Then I was told to work directly with a client, it's been 2 months already we work late hours and also on weekend (asked by the client). It feels like my personal life is gone. Do you think I should change job?

I'd settle for insurance work if theres good WLB & $$$ lol
