When I was at PwC I once had a team of 2 senior managers, 1 manager and 1 associate (me). Guess who did all the work?

sounds like a confusing team to be on

Yup, like D2 said its something to do with local India regulations. You need to have a local manager in India even if all your work assignments are coming from the US manager. We have the same setup with our USI team members. We have to do regular touch points with the USI managers to make sure they are accurately completing the RPM snapshots based on our feedback or else the high performers might be getting overlooked.

You 100% do not need to have a USI manager to leverage USI staff.

USI managers are more like US SCs from a leveling perspective. They watch over the USI A/C/SC folks and make sure work gets done when the US is sleeping.

What's triggering you to feel exhausted, negative, or lose your motivation?

We all start our jobs full of hope and promise. That same hope and promise may still be there. However, the eventual grind or consistent overcommitment of anything will trigger you towards Burnout if you are not aware of them.

Be aware if you are consistently over-committing to something that will burn you out. Take breaks. Change your patterns. Whatever you need to do. Just don't overdo it.
