Hello,
I would like to know about Siemens Balewadi, Pune (Smart Buildings / Infra account)
How is the work culture, wlb, what are some Pros and Cons?

Let's say you make $300K at a FAANG and have good work life balance. How much more would you need to go have terrible wlb at a PE, but likely do more interesting work?

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. Should I be concerned (I.e., will this reflect poorly on me, come review time? Will I have dug myself too much of a hole if I keep burning my non-billable hours?) 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.

does work life balance only get worse? I feel like my managers work like banker hours smh

How is teksystems in terms of job security and wlb for Bangalore location for 9 years experience as Java backend developer.

Recently received an offer from Ogletree to do only class action work. It'll be a big change for me, I'll be starting as a fourth year. Double my current salary, etc.

What will this be like? It's more of a niche, but lucrative, part of their practice, right? Will I really get good WLB like they claim? I have a nice 40 hour a week job right now, no billables.

I never miss my deadline in the past 3 years.
And I was respected and got awards from VPs and was also paid well too then.
But due to some health reasons I'm missing deadlines from 1 month.
But my team lead is telling you are not working. Even if I say i have some health issues I may not be able to work like before.She is not listening she has escalated to my manager, my manager is 2X of her even he yells at me.

What to do please help.

been rocking a headache for three days now, should i skip work today?
