Yep, every single day... Self love is priority, everything else is secondary... Not just saying this, I completely believe it and live it... Single, female 30s, I haven't achieved much yet but I'm content with my fam, friends, & dog... Love quest is constant but not in my control 😁

I love your outlook ^😮💨🤌🏽

Married with kids now, but I established those boundaries early on before either were in the picture.
My big thing was saying no. Sure, I'd probably have gotten faster promotions and/or bigger raises, but at the end of the day I made partner and had a life the entire time.

M30s, I worked abroad for awhile and it taught me that we are with ourselves our entire lives and so becoming comfortable and happy by yourself and finding things that you enjoy alone will create the kind of life you want to have. Most people don't put in the work to do that and so fill the hole with kids, a partner, or work. Be at peace with the moment and be kind to yourself by take things at the pace you want to take them, not what others expect of you.
I haven't seen your kind of maturity from a male on this app for a while. DM me lol
Yes. This app gives me anxiety. I am an overachiever but I can see there are those even worse then me. I make sure I have hobbies and things to do outside of work. I am also prioritizing meeting new people outside of what I would consider my circle
Yes! Single F28. I make it a point with my MD or Partner that I have boundaries on my time. I’m not taking internal meetings outside working hours, I’m not working on the weekends, if the project wasn’t scoped right then I’m bringing on additional associates, etc. I also openly talk about my hobbies with my colleagues like snowboarding and taking backpacking trips so everyone knows I’m not available after hours. So far I haven’t had issues with it (was at ACN, now at S&) but I’ve been very straightforward and transparent on WLB and I think that’s helped tremendously.
I’m single but I don’t see my approach to work/life balance any differently than married couples/parents. They may have to sign off every day at 6p to go pick up the kiddos, but I sign off every day at 6p too. I just use my “down time” differently— I may take my dog for a walk, or call my mom to catch up. Even if I get back online later, I feel much better after a break, and I’m more productive too.
This^ exactly!! 💯

🙋🏽♀️ I came from industry that tanked my mental health and I’m extremely lucky to have found a firm that respects my boundaries of a 40hr work week.
I have time to spend with my parents, go on weekend trips to see friends who do have families (since it’s harder for them to escape, I go to them) and have decided to let the single life ride it’s train until life decides otherwise.

I simply dc. I do what Im asked only. Nothing extra. No overtime. I make great money already so I have no incentive to do more.
What is your salary, if you don’t mind me asking?

At Accenture, yes. At MBB, … people try.
Consultants at MBB are so valuable esp right now. I feel like you can tell them what you need and they will work with it. I’ve been straight up about not working crazy hours or else I’m leaving for big tech / industry and S& has been pretty accommodating
