Been a nurse for decades and wouldn't change careers, but I'm tired of being the person everyone leans on emotionally. Every shift, someone needs comfort or advice, and I end up taking all their stress home with me. At my age, it's getting harder to bounce back. What are some good ways to protect myself without becoming cold or uncaring?

I understand exactly how you are feeling. I am the person everyone dumps on in my office and it is rough. I had to start having firm boundaries so I was not taking on too much.

It’s exhausting!! I get it !

Hey friends! I hope everybody has had a productive week and had an awesome weekend for those who enjoyed their holiday! This question is specifically for Amazon Web Services in sales.

So I am currently a potential candidate as an AAE. I was told that I would in the future have to prepare a mock deck and deal with objections.

Has anybody had to prepare them and what was the scenario?

Thanks everyone!

Folks recently joined P in the tech consulting practice. One one of the calls I realized that we are not really selling solutions but mostly staff aug for clients. Is that really how P does business? Coming in from big 4 this was a surprise to me. Given that most D and MDs are homegrown, probably used to this way of business, however we are not selling solutions is a concern in my opinion. Thoughts?

Wondering to get some advice on how hard it would be or get an understanding of the market to get back into private accounting/advisory or financial analyst after stepping away for 2.5 years.
